3. 🛠️ Grand Epoch Artier Rage and Restoration Recommendation & Series Skill Guide
- ✅ Rage recommended (elementalize with Fire/Dragon element when facing Gogmazios).
- ✅ Joda base attack 2~4, sharpness 1, the rest is critical eye.
- ✅ Series Skills: Dark Knight's Mark + Master's Spirit or Thunder Serpent Narwa + Master's Spirit (if you don't like Thunder Serpent Narwa, use Malzeno).
02:07 - 02:21
4. ✨ Recommended Weapon Skills: Focus 3 is a Must, Choose Critical Boost or Elemental Boost
- ✅ Focus 3 is a must.
- ✅ Critical Boost (Elemental Boost if element is needed like Gogmazios).
02:22 - 03:39
5. ⚙️ Introduction to Setups Without Grand Epoch Skill: 2 Ho-Oh 3 Master, Shadow Bringer, Power Prolonger 2 Resentment
- ✅ 2 Ho-Oh 3 Master Setup: Use with Artier when you don't want to use Shadow Bringer.
- ✅ Recommended Shadow Bringer Setup: High attack power and utilizes one-hit. Higher damage potential than a setup with the Grand Epoch skill attached haphazardly.
- ✅ Power Prolonger 2 Resentment Setup: Artier/Shadow Bringer can be used. Weaker than the previous setup when using Shadow Bringer due to lack of Critical Boost (Artier recommended).
- ❌ A setup with only one Grand Epoch skill attached is inefficient.

6. 🏆 Perfect Grand Epoch Skill Setup: Dark Knight + Master's Spirit, Thunder Serpent Narwa + Master's Spirit, Malzeno 3 Master, 3 Master Black Night
- ✅ Dark Knight + Master's Spirit: The most necessary series skill combination for Greatsword.
- ✅ Thunder Serpent Narwa + Master's Spirit: Thunder Serpent Narwa can be used instead of Dark Knight.
- ✅ Malzeno 3 Master: Replace with Malzeno if you don't like Thunder Serpent Narwa.
- ✅ Dark Knight + Master's Spirit Black Night Setup: 3 Master possible.
04:19 - 04:56
7. 🔥 Grand Epoch + Master's Spirit Elemental Setup: Gogmazios Only? Is it Efficient?
- ⚠️ Grand Dragon + Master's Spirit: Elemental stat increase effect.
- ❌ Difficult to activate Dark Knight elemental buff, and raw damage is still the mainstream for Greatsword.
- 🤔 May be less efficient except for Fire/Dragon element specifically for Gogmazios.
