Build suggestion charge blade

[90FT_Mes]

Any suggestions for charge blade build before valkhana? Currently using wild force 1 with beo alpha set

I would say consider getting the Odogaron Charge Blade. Good raw, good sharpness, and good affinity.

As for armor, its always up to personal preference and what decorations you have unlocked.
If you have Ironside Charm 3, but not good decorations, you could potentially go with the Tigrex Alpha set for some attack boost, max Earplugs, and Speed Eating 3 / Free Meal 3 for more healing. It's a good comfort set.

Uragaan Beta boots and gloves will give you Guard 4 by themselves, and if you have at least one Guard decoration lying around, you can round that out to a Guard 5. It will also give you Guard Up, which is absolutely ESSENTIAL for Velkhana as ALL of her ice beam attacks cannot be blocked without Guard Up.

After that, just take random armor pieces you think have good skills or good decoration slots to fill it out.

Charge Blade unfortunately is a VERY skill hungry weapon, so you're not gonna be able to feed it all the levels it wants until late endgame. Prioritize Guard 3/5, Guard Up, and Power Prolonger.

I guess it depends on how you use CB. If you guard a lot then go for Guard and Guard Up, otherwise get Evade Extender if you prefer dodging.

Other than that it's pretty much either damage skills, defense skills or utility skills. If you feel you are taking to much time to kill something, then go for damage (Weakness Exploit, Agitator, etc), if you are dying too much get defensive skills (Health Boost and Divine Protection), if you want the weapon to feel smoother then go for utility (Focus, Slugger, Earplugs, Capacity Boost, etc)

For something before Velkhana you could use the Glavenus set, Maximun Might lv5 is pretty good.

yeah as you said about armor i think i would go tigrex one for speed eating and healing and about the charge blade i was think of glavenus one i have decorations so i can make a proper build but still confused between the weapon i like to mix guard and dodge i mostly rely on dodge coz i am souls player so i can dodge pretty good so yeah i think i am still stuck between deciding the weapon

i am not dying too much but the weapon i am using is not upto the par with the current enemies so i.e why i was switching to a new blade the xeno one is too low with dmg so i.e why i was asking which had a balanced one with elemental and good raw like defender V

Get Chrome Fortress. Good raw and sharpness and has impact phials.

You can even upgrade it all the way and use it until you find a proper replacement in the endgame of Iceborne.

I would advise looking into Guard Point timings. The easiest one is the Morph Slash, which kinda acts like a DS1 parry, starting on frame 1 of the animation.

When you successfully Guard Point with a charged shield, you gain +2 guard and deal Impact damage to the monster. So if you have Guard 5, you're boosting to Guard SEVEN, letting you tank any attack in the game easily.

Also, Evade Window 5 is hard to get, but it gives you roughly the same I-frames as a Souls dodge.

Although I'd advise using your shield more, as the CB shield is objectively the strongest shield in the entire game when used properly.
