Capcom’s latest addition to their popular monster-hunting series, titled “Monster Hunter Rampage“, has set a record for being their fastest-selling game in the franchise. This game has been lauded by both fans and critics, and continues to expand with its first update recently rolled out. As a result, there’s still a large influx of newcomers diving into “Monster Hunter Rampage“, many of whom are experiencing their first taste of the Monster Hunter universe.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the array of weapons, armor, and equipment is immense, making it challenging for beginners to choose the ideal combination. To make this process easier, having a concise guide on the top armor sets that complement your chosen weapon is beneficial. For Charge Blade users specifically, there are numerous build and gear options you can strive for during the campaign and even in the endgame, High Rank hunts. Here are the optimal armor sets for Charge Blode builds in Monster Hunter Wilds.

7. Doshaguma Four-Piece

Early Game Set

Armor Pieces:

  • Doshaguma Helm
  • Doshaguma Mail
  • Doshaguma Braces
  • Balahara Coil
  • Doshaguma Greaves

Set Bonus Skills:

  • Powerhouse rank two

For novice players in the lower ranks (1-3), it’s not crucial to focus on creating particular armor sets right away, but an early suit that complements Charge Blades is the Doshaguma Armor. This set features the Powerhouse bonus, which grants a substantial temporary attack boost following a power clash or offset attack. Offset attacks can be challenging to execute, but with Charge Blade, you can trigger a power clash using a shield block. This means that the +25 attack bonus from this set can be activated frequently.

With this collection, Free Meal is assigned three tiers, offering players a reasonable opportunity to conserve consumable items during play. This could aid players in accumulating extra stockpiles of consumables early on in the game, as the set may be replaced relatively soon but serves well as an initial choice.

6. Rey Dau & Balahara Mix

Early Game Alternative

Armor Pieces:

  • Rey Sandhelm
  • Rey Sandmail
  • Balahara Vambraces
  • Balahara Coil
  • Rey Sandgreaves

Set Bonus Skills:

  • Thunderous Roar rank one

As a gamer, I’ve found an intriguing early game setup that leverages Rey Dau’s Thunderous Roar set. This combo pairs perfectly with armor skills enhancing damage and comfort. The Latent Power skill from the Rey Sandhelm provides a nice affinity boost and slows down stamina drain during prolonged fights (or after taking 150 points of damage). The Thunderous Roar set bonus extends the duration of the Latent Power effect, making these two abilities a formidable duo.

For the remaining items in the collection, you’ll find ranks associated with Evade Extender, a feature that enhances dodging while using Axe mode. If players feel they don’t require this additional evasion support, opting for Rey Sandbraces instead will grant an extra rank in Latent Power and prolong the activation of the full set bonus for extended duration.

5. G. Ebony Odogaron & G. Arkveld Mix

Mid-Game Burst Set

Armor Pieces:

  • G. Ebony Helm
  • G. Arkveld Mail
  • G. Ebony Braces
  • G. Arkveld Coil
  • G. Rathalos Greaves

Set Bonus Skills:

  • Burst Boost rank one
  • Decimator rank one

In this mid-game collection, we have a blend of benefits from both G. Ebony Odogaron’s and G. Arkveld’s two-piece armor sets. This combination equips players with both attacking power and healing capabilities. The items associated with G. Ebony enhance the Burst ability, providing an increase in damage and elemental damage upon successive hits, thanks to the Burst Boost and two ranks in the Burst skill. On the other hand, the bonus from G. Arkveld, known as Decimator, restores health to players when they successfully break wounds.

By donning the G. Rathalos Greaves, players gain a proficiency in Weakness Exploitation, boosting the damage inflicted on wounds as well. This versatile equipment offers an optimal blend of offense and defense during gameplay, making it advantageous to engage Savage Axe mode for its rapid-fire strikes and wound-clearing abilities.

4. Rathian Two-Piece Mix

Early High Rank Foray Build

Armor Pieces:

  • Barina Headgear (beta)
  • Rathian Mail (alpha)
  • Kut-Ku Vambraces (alpha)
  • Rathian Coil (beta)
  • Conga Greaves (beta)

Set Bonus Skills:

  • None

In this initial High Rank setup, we opt to forgo any set bonuses in favor of amassing four tiers of Foray skill. This strategy primarily relies on players wielding weapons that inflict poison or paralysis. The Foray ability enhances the damage and affinity against monsters suffering from either condition. While poison offers a more sustained damage output, paralysis makes fights slightly safer, yet it won’t activate the damage bonus as frequently.

Because Foray significantly enhances players’ affinity, incorporating abilities such as Critical Boost can amplify their damage even more. You could opt to include an additional piece of Rathian equipment, like the alpha greaves, which would give another rank of Foray instead of one rank in Burst. However, the set bonus won’t benefit Charge Blade users with its additional functionality.

3. G. Ebony Odogaron & Blango Mix

Early High Rank Burst/Agitator Build

Armor Pieces:

  • G. Ebony Helm (beta)
  • Blango Mail (beta)
  • G. Ebony Braces (alpha)
  • Blango Coil (beta)
  • G. Rathalos Greaves (beta)

Set Bonus Skills:

  • Burst Boost rank one
  • War Cry rank one

This construction integrates the perks from the G. Ebony Odogaron outfit and the Blangonga outfit, with level four proficiency in both Burst and Agitator skills. The bonus from the G. Ebony set is advantageous for amplifying Burst’s potency, while the bonus from the Blango set is relatively less beneficial. Primarily, these two pieces are included in the setup for the four ranks of Agitator they offer.

With the Blango Greaves, players can earn an additional level in this particular skill. Alternatively, the G. Rathalos Greaves allow you to achieve a rank in Weakness Exploit. As players advance to High Rank, Agitator becomes increasingly valuable due to the increased frequency of enrage phases for monsters during these levels, making it an effective skill choice for early and mid-level High Rank hunts.

2. Gore Magala & Jin Dahaad Mix

High Rank Frenzy/Burst Build

Armor Pieces:

  • Dahaad Shardhelm (beta)
  • Arkvulcan Mail (beta)
  • Dahaad Shardbraces (alpha)
  • Gore Coil (beta)
  • Gore Greaves (beta)

Set Bonus Skills:

  • Black Eclipse rank one
  • Binding Counter rank one

In the later stages of play, combining Gore Magala’s Black Eclipse set bonus with Antivirus skill offers a substantial damage increase for Charge Blades. This set additionally leverages the two-piece benefit from Jin Dahaad’s Binding Counter for additional damage post power clash, and boasts three ranks in Agitator.

As a devoted player, I’m thrilled about this collection’s versatility! It offers ample space for additional skill slots, allowing me to maximize the set’s high compatibility with critical hit-boosting abilities, or opt for strategic conditional damage skills like Offensive Guard and Weakness Exploit.

1. Zoh Shia & Gore Magala Mix

High Rank Weakness Exploit/Agitator Build

Armor Pieces:

  • Numinous Crown (beta)
  • Numinous Shroud (beta)
  • G. Arkveld Vambraces (beta)
  • Gore Coil (beta)
  • Gore Greaves (beta)

Set Bonus Skills:

  • Black Eclipse rank one
  • Super Recovery rank one
  • Ward of Wyveria

As a devoted fan, I’m excited about this gear set that continues to leverage the two-piece Gore Magala and Anitvirus Frenzy recovery strategy. What sets it apart is the addition of Zoh Shia’s Super Recovery, a game-changing healing skill. Unlike traditional health regeneration, Super Recovery can restore players’ health even when their health bar appears depleted. And to top it off, this set comes with enhanced Recovery Speed ranks, which amplifies the effectiveness of Super Recovery, making it an essential tool for any player looking to boost their survivability in battle.

This set is enhanced by the Wyveria’s Ward group skill, which lessens elemental and special (Guardian) damage. Although it appears this endgame gear is primarily focused on survival, it can also be configured to accommodate a significant amount of damage potential, as players can accumulate up to five ranks of both Agitator and Weakness Exploit with decorations.
