How does the strength of the build unfold?
The build relies on maximum Savle and Harasser levels to increase your damage and thus inflict more damage on the monster. To increase your crit damage, maximum power at level 3, as well as Harasser and Antivirus, are utilized.
With the Corrupted Mantle, you can further increase the crit damage and exceed 70%. It’s important to rely on two hunting horns for this build so that you can access different buffs, allowing you to deal more damage and provide support for your teammates.
It’s essential to just hit hard, play songs to provide buffs, and then potentially switch weapons if you need other buffs for your crew. If you keep getting interrupted while playing, you can counteract this with the Defiant Mantle.
