Morph Build: Everything about Weapons, Armor & Decorations
What is the best build for the Morph Axe? The Morph Axe has two options for its builds:
- High affinity and paralysis
- High affinity and explosion
The Morph Axe has two modes that you can switch between to deal massive damage. Since this switch often takes a long time, our proposed build focuses on speeding this up, increasing affinity and attack, and paralyzing the monster. However, you can also go for explosion as a status effect if you want more damage instead of control in combat.

How to Craft the Best Artian Weapon for the Morph Axe
What do I need to craft the Mundus Altus? For Mundus Altus, you should make sure to select an affinity and two attack infusions when crafting your materials. The element should be paralysis to incapacitate the monster during status buildup. It is important that you need the Power Phial to deal more damage in Morph state.
If you do not have good parts yet or have bad luck with the enhancement bonuses for the Mundus Altus, you can also rely on the Iron Spirit, which you can build from the parts of Gore Magala.
As a secondary weapon, sword & shield or the heavy bowgun are worthwhile options. Both offer a fresh playstyle, as well as new options to play more aggressively or to distribute buffs.
What enhancement bonuses should I focus on? When enhancing your Artian weapon, the following bonuses are particularly important in priority:
- Affinity
- Attack
- Sharpness
- Element
Which decorations are important? For the decorations, you can be more flexible and choose from the following options:
- Morph/Crafting Jewel 3
- Enhancer/Crafting Jewel 3
- Critical Jewel III 3
Morph Axe Build: Armors and Decorations
Which armors are important? For our armor choice, we focus on the following equipment and effects:
Armors
- W.-Fulgur Helm B
- Blangonga Armor B
- W.-Fulgur Armguards B
- Gore Waistguard B
- Gore Legguards B
Set Bonuses
- Gore Magala’s Tyranny
- Black Darkness I: Triggers Frenzy in fights against large monsters
- Fulgur Anjanath’s Will
- Ascent I: Grants a second stamina bar
What decorations should I use? With the armor, it is mainly about choosing decorations that increase your attack and affinity; additionally, due to Frenzy, you need an effect that increases your infection recovery rate while also increasing your critical damage. Lastly, it also makes sense to increase your dodging distance. Therefore, you should equip the following decorations:
- Head
- Power Jewel 2
- Chest
- Power Jewel 2
- Arms
- Jump Jewel 2
- Jump Jewel 2
- Waist
- Challenger Jewel 3
- Jump Jewel 2
- Legs
- Chain Jewel 3
- Reason Jewel 1
- Reason Jewel 1
How does the strength of the build unfold?
The Morph Axe has two deficiencies that this build aims to minimize:
- The slow switch between great sword and axe
- The short dodging distance
With the Jump and Morph Jewels, both are reduced to a certain degree. After that, the focus is on maximizing damage output, which can be done with affinity and frenzy. The build is specifically designed so that you can stay in Morph mode much longer to maximize your DPS.
Additionally, your talisman provides a boost to your attack when you are thrown back, and those who know the Morph Axe know that this happens often. It is a simple yet effective build where you just have to attack, maximize your Morph gauge, execute combos, and get thrown back to then paralyze and fillet the monster in sword mode.
