Title says it - I play SwAxe, and I really need help putting together a build. Up to this point in the game I've been able to just use a full set of whatever, maybe I'd have to switch it out for elemental resistances but I've never had to worry about skills. I feel that now I have to worry about them.

Currently I'm running a gamma Rey Dau set with a maxed defensive talisman and a single defense deco, the rest of my decos are in evade extender and damage of various types.

I'm not good at putting together mixed sets, and would like it if someone gave me a set to use to make it easier. I feel like no matter how much defense I have gore still one shots me regularly or two shots by knocking me. I'm still practicing my offsets but that aside I need to know what I'm doing wrong that's costing me this fight so badly.

Any builds are appreciated. I have a very high dragon element focused Gogmazios SwAxe (atk +1ex/sharp +2 [1ex]/elem+2ex), I don't have a raw focused one yet.

I'm willing to craft anything, and I most likely have the decos already. I am HR130+ so I have everything unlocked up to this point.

Edit; I am willing to "save scum" if I have to, but I haven't done it in the past and will have to learn how to

Edit 2; Gog weapon current skills are Lord's Soul and Arkveld's Hunger

Hi, I just got the game not even a month ago and grinded my way up to past hr100. I am starting to work on my Artian weapons, and I am going for a dragon element attack build. I was hoping to roll an atk 3+/sharp 2+ weapon but while doing the grind came across an atk 1+/elem 2+/sharp 2+ and wondered if it had any chance at being a good weapon for anything other than Gog? (Element phial)

Atk: 735

Aff: 5%

Elem: (Drag) 340

Lot of white sharp

I'm gonna keep going for my atk 3+/sharp 2+, but just wanted opinions on this particular weapon while I'm still grinding. All thoughts welcome, if it's trash just let me know!

I am not a meta player, but I don't dislike mixed sets especially since I can use layered armor to make it look how I want anyway - however I was wondering, what full armor set is the best for SwAxe? I am HR 80+, so I have access to almost everything under HR100+.

This is just a "for fun" discussion, I am aware I can min-max the hell out of my set if I want - and I do sometimes.

Currently I am using the G. Arkveld set, but was prior using Nu Udra and honestly, I think it might be better than G. Arkveld?
