Tamamitsune series skill 'Bubble Dance' added (low usability except against Tamamitsune)
01:26 - 03:15
2. New Weapon Review
Tamamitsune Hunting Horn 'Piri Song Bubble's Meaning': Water-Soaked Master Sword skill (9% Affinity when wet, 21% Affinity when bubbled), difficult to use universally, used for buffs like Gomagra Hunting Horn
Josiah Hunting Horn 'Brilliant Gabria': Duel's Current skill (50 additional damage with a certain probability upon hit), usable, good specs among Impact Echo weapons, second strongest in terms of stagger value after Artier, quick recovery possible with 323 forward performance, clean sound and design
03:16 - 04:29
3. Gore 4-Set Challenger Extreme Damage Build
Most versatile and powerful build, few skill activation restrictions
Attack Power +55, Affinity +75% when all skills are activated
Affinity 100% possible when using Affinity Hunting Horn and Foodie Costume
Fill Challenger with Josiah armor, and choose parts according to preference
Good for both multiplayer and solo play
Recommended weapons: Affinity Melody Hunting Horn + Galahad/Attack Hand Hunting Horn + Artier
Low Fire Resistance, so be careful during Josiah quests
04:30 - 05:11
4. Gore 2-Set Josiah 2-Set Extreme Affinity Build
Attack Power +40, Affinity +90% when all skills are activated
Used when using Galschuedna Non-Elemental Artier
Affinity-reliant build due to Foodie Costume nerf
Can compensate for Galschweid's negative Affinity when using Affinity Melody Hunting Horn
Lower damage than the previous build, but higher stability with Galschweid and Super Recovery 1
Recommended weapon combinations (for multiplayer): Spiritification Gao Hunting Horn + Hosein Red Galschued, Affinity Melody Hunting Horn + Galhead/Attack Power Grand Melody Hunting Horn + Non-Elemental Artier
05:12 - 06:04
5. Josiah 4-Set Super Recovery Maximization Build
Safest build
Very fast HP recovery speed when using Sound Orbs with 3 Healing Jewels and 1 Blessing Jewel (does not increase ally recovery amount)
Change arms to Igdolsad Alpha, and utilize Counterattack, which gets stronger when hit and knocked away, when using Brilliant Gabria
Good for practicing stagger with Counterattack
Attack Power +65, Affinity +60% when Counterattack is activated
Can secure Evasion Performance and Evasion Distance by changing arms to Tamamitsune's arms
Recommended weapons: Cosein Ballet (Spiritification Gau + Queenly Corderly), Igzels (Affinity Melody Hunting Horn + Josiah Hunting Horn)
06:05 - 06:38
6. Master Rank Alpha 3 Encouragement Skill Multiplayer Build
Fixed multiplayer build with Affinity Hand Hunting Horn + Queen Recorder weapon
Utilizes Hand of Life, HP continuous recovery Sound Orbs, Super Recovery 1, and Full Charge Upside
When using Recovery/Attack Power Grand Melody with the Encouragement skill, increases the Attack Power of yourself/all teammates by 10 for 20 seconds
Customized with Offensive Guard 4, Challenger 5, Commitment 3, and Foodie Costume to achieve 100% Affinity
Utilizes Queen Recorder's Elemental Affinity and increased Fixed Damage
06:39 - 07:00
7. High Stagger Value Build
Utilizes the Counterattack Attack Power increase, Attack Power 70, Affinity 70% possible (Affinity 75% if you reduce Interceptor)
Recommended weapons: Affinity Hunting Horn + Crimson Watermelon/Fleeting Gabria, Attack Power Grand Hunting Horn + Artier Hunting Horn
07:01 - 07:32
8. Fun Build: Blazing Torrent
Utilizes the Self-Sacrifice of Duel's Current
Adds Fire element damage to Duel's Current additional hits with Luxurious Equipment, Luxurious Gore, and Gore sets
Consider using when attacking Gomagala's stagger
Attacks including Self-Sacrifice deal a base of 69 damage, a fixed elemental value like Elemental Impact Echo, and are affected by Fire Attack Up skills
07:33 - 08:11
9. Full Elemental Dragon Element Build
Utilizes Schberka, focuses on Elemental Conversion
Can reach up to 1026 Element when adopting Artier with Dragon Element x4
Dealing only 740 Dragon Element may be more powerful
Outperforms Gore 4-set DPS against monsters with weak elemental hitzones (Josiah) when all skills are activated
Elemental Conversion lasts 2 minutes, 1 minute 30 second cooldown
Overall clear time is slower than Gore 4-set, but a fun build
Weapons: Affinity Melody HH + Galahad, Dragon Element 1026 build is Galschued + 4 elemental parts Dragon Element Artier
08:12 - 08:38
10. Costume Changes
Foodie Costume: Duration 30 seconds, Basic Attack 10% -> 5% upon overcoming, Affinity 30% -> 10%, Normal Attack additional hit damage nerfed
Evasion Costume: Duration 90 seconds -> 105 seconds buff
Regeneration Costume: Duration 60 seconds -> 80 seconds buff
Rocksteady Costume: Increased damage reduction rate
Expect diverse usage due to costume balance adjustments
08:39 - 09:17
11. Artier Farming Method (Element vs Attack)
Sub-Element/Status Ailment Artier: 4 Basic Attack, 1 Sharpness fixed
Elemental Artier: 4 Basic Attack + 1 Sharpness or 5 Basic Attack fixed
It is inefficient to draw elemental stats with Artier
The elemental stats of the Hunting Horn are inferior to the attack stats in every way
