Long Sword Early Game Build

The early-game Long Sword set below is built around Wyvern Blade "Verde" I and G. Ebony Helm (head), G. Arkveld Mail (chest), G. Arkveld Vambraces (arms), G. Ebony Coil (waist), Alloy Greaves α (legs). It activates Quick Sheathe 3, Burst 2, Flayer 2 and Critical Status 2, which is the cheapest skill package that still covers the weapon's core damage loop while you are short on decorations.
