True Critical Statue vs True Dragonvein Awakening

[JackBlackHole]

I using DB with blast aliment but don't know which one is stronger between TCS or TDA. Can someone tell me?

Realistically theyre both quite weak, blast builds are a little meh going into the end game.

However in answer to your question id relies heavily on your build, how much Blast do you have, whats your affinity?

True Dragonvein Awakening adds 120 Flat to your Status, not to mention a few of other perks (40% crit and healing on attacks).

True Critical Status makes your critical hits apply 40% more status.

if you are critting 100% of the time, then you need to figure out whether 40% if your current status is more or less than a 120 flat value increase.

True critical status is not worth it, Golden Rathian armor is very subpar and not worth considering as a whole either.

This is just a fun build beside from my main build, I am not plan to use for end-game content.
So from your answer, I understand that if the state damage from TCS is more than 120 (assume that I have 100 crit), then TCS is better. If it's less then TDA is better (ignore other perks).
So (120*100)/40 = 300, I have to get blast damage more than 300 right?

Correct Yes if you are looking from a purely Status Perspective, though do bare in mind TDA affords you other benefits outside of just more blast :)

Just pick whatever you think you want the most. Values only matters if you are a speedrunner.

Goldian armour is usually used for the higher cap on divine blessing, so in a defensive approach. Some hunts may find a helpful support in divine blessing at 5.

Melee damage has 1/3 probability to apply status build up.

Apothecary Mantle make status applicable on all hits, rather than only one third of hits, but also make poison and blast buildup reduced by 30%, paralysis and sleep buildup reduced by 50%.

True critical status does not worth investments as set bonus. Kjarr weapons with built in TCS can be used.

So I should use Kjarr weapon with TCS and safi armor?

TCS and Kjaar CS wont stack, you can use Kjaar and Safi Armour though.

To elaborate a little on the completely correct answer: Safi armour and Kjarr weapons are the TOP tier for elemental builds in ALL but a smidge of cases (mainly some bows because of higher raw and worse hit zones on monsters: a thunder build for example, is usually better served with safi bow).
The direct and only upgrade to this setup is Fatalis armour + Kjarr weapons, and only because Fatalis armour is stupidly generous with gems' slots (that you need to fill).

Thanks for all information. This will help a lot with my fun build :D
