What is the best Charge Blade build in Monster Hunter Wilds?

How many Charge Blade builds should I plan for?

Three stages: early → HR 40+ → HR 50+. Move on as soon as the next stage's armor is craftable.

How do I read the Charge Blade build tables?

Each row lists the weapon, all five armor slots, the charm, and the skills the set activates. Rebuild in that order so you never waste materials on a piece you will drop.
