Elemental bow builds after lunastra? need help

[VonDodo]

So i crafted my lunastra beta set.

What now?
I think the 2 parts bonus will be mandatory but what should i remove?I was thinking that the only parts with decent skills seems to be Head and legs.
They also provide slots to replace missed skills

At that point i should replace the rathalos helm but what to remove for it?

Or can you give me any better idea for the updated elemental bow builds?
The water also needs a special one since it uses kulve bow (have all decorations).

rath soul head rathalos mail, lunastra legs and skirt thing. the rest depends on your choice

or look up at honey hunter world it's pretty much the same build almost any element to begin with

Last time I checked Lunastra doesn't count as rath parts so no.

2 luna pieces increase your stamina cap which is good for bow

I already got this answer once but i'd like to understand something so i can make better build myself.

Why not using lunastra legs and head and finding a replacement for rath helm in one of the remaining parts?

Since those pieces gives the best skills for bow along the 2 parts bonus i don't get why i should use parts that gives weaponsmith skill that is totally useless for bows alongside less decorations slots.


Ty if you can explain me.

I like to use the legs and gloves since the legs are just generally good and the gloves are basically kaiser b with wide range 2 if you slot a tenderizer into the tier 2 slot.

thunder and water element will improve again aft at kirin, the rest stay as it is

lunastra 2 set bonus is nice but not mandatory

i'll list the bow skill on the priority order

-critical element
-constitution 3
-weakness exploit
-elemental attack up
-bow charge plus
-spread/ normal shot up
-crit eye
-crit boost/ stamina cap up

Simply put evade extender is not the best skill for a bow. Bow i-frames are generous and what can't be dodged by distance with a dash can usually be dodged by rolling, so more experienced players will opt for higher damage skills and position better to avoid attacks.

Since the other rathalos slots are situational to useless, with things like the Rath Soul beta waist carrying windproof 2, the arms carrying Fire Res or Focus and the legs carrying jump master or focus. None of this does anything for elemental bow. The Rath Beta waist is good for a fire bow build because it carries fire attack, and the rath soul head and rath beta chest carry universal skills like weakness exploit and crit boost, with the rath soul beta chest carrying free element for hidden element weapons like Arrow Thunder.
