Since the Great Sword can amplify damage by charging its attack, it only makes sense to go for Charge Jewels. You’ll be able to charge with Focus Level 3 skill so you’re Great Sword charge won’t take as long. This will let you dish out hits faster before the monster can move to safety. The Weakness Exploit talisman will really let those heavy hits hurt if you’re aiming for weak spots.
