How to craft the best Artian Weapon for the Energy Blade
What do I need to craft the Chrono Kit? For the Chrono Kit, you should ensure to choose two Attack and one Affinity infusion while crafting your materials. Also, make sure to select at least two materials from the elemental type “Paralysis” – this way, you will also obtain Paralysis as an element after crafting.
If you don’t have good components for the Chrono Kit yet, you can also resort to the Honest Lutemia. This is the Energy Blade from the Rathian of rarity 8.
As a secondary weapon, the Hunting Horn is also a good choice due to its buffs, as it can increase the attack power of all players within a certain radius.

- Attack

How does the strength of the build unfold?
This build mainly focuses on bringing your weapon into axe mode to wear down and paralyze the monster with consecutive blows. Frenzy is your best friend here along with the Powerful Jwl 3, as together with the effects you increase your affinity and thus your chance of critical damage.
The Chain-Jwl also helps you to increase your raw damage through the fast attack style of the Energy Blade, making your hits even more powerful. By combining this with the paralysis status effect, you increase your relaxed attack windows, allowing you to focus entirely on axe mode and maximize your damage output.
The great thing about the Energy Blade is also its sword mode, as it allows you to fallback on your shield to block in critical situations. So, you are prepared for every situation with this build.
