This is a 5-Element Equipment setup for the Charge Blade using an Artian weapon. Since it primarily utilizes Power Axe Mode, it focuses on boosting base Attack and Element values while increasing Affinity through skills. To activate 'Critical Element,' a High Affinity build is prioritized, reaching 85% with just 'Weakness Exploit' and 'Maximum Might.' With the addition of 'Agitator' and 'Antivirus,' Affinity exceeds 100%.
