Charge Blade New Moveset & Artian - Affinity or Attack

[Nu]

Given the new chainsaw attacks of the Charge Blade, is it perhaps more appropriate to get Artian weapons with higher affinity, or would it still be better to use attack? I never really looked into Artian weapons that much before, but from what I understand in the past, weapons that can hit a lot in a short amount of time are usually better for affinity, while slower weapons are better with attack. The Charge Blade seems to fit an odd middle ground though, so I want some input.

All Attack and 1 or 2 sharpness is optimal for damage i believe. Get affinity from armor skills instead.

^ This. You can get more than enough affinity from armor skills.

It depends on your build. If you have alot of affinity from armor you don't really need it on the Artian weapon, so in that scenario more attack would be more effective. In that scenario Artians might lose out vs raw damage weapons, it depends on what you want out of your CB
