Acid Shredder II Build
Acid Shredder II is a monumental greatsword that comes from two monsters: Acidic Glavenus and Vaal Hazak. The crafting recipe for Acid Shredder II is following:
2x Vaal Hazak Hardclaw 4x Acidic Glavenus Hardfang 3x Acidic Glavenus Spineshell 1x Glavenus Mantle 56000x Zenny
This sword has a powerful paralysis effect, which can be well combined with its native Acidic Glavenus armor set for the following build:
Charms: Handicraft Charm 4 Mantles: Rocksteady Mantle Ghillie Mantle
Ruinous Atrocity Build
This greatsword can be crafted by farming items from none other than Ruiner Nergigante, which is the reason for such high dragon damage. The crafting recipe is the following:
3x Annihilating Greathorn 4x Nergigante Hardclaw 5x Eternal Regrowth Plate 1x Large Elder Dragon Gem
Ruinous Atrocity can be paired with Golden Lune armor, which also has dragon element as its main defensive mechanism.
Charms: Master’s Charm 4 Mantles: Rocksteady Mantle Temporal Mantle
Immovable Dharma Build
A great alternative for the Ruinous Atrocity would be an Immovable Dharma sword, which can be crafted by farming Shara Ishvalda.
4x Shara Ishvalda Tenderclaw 6x Shara Ishvalda Tenderscale 2x Shara Ishvalda Tenderplate 1x Shara Ishvalda Gem 80000x Zenny
