I'm working on upgrading my favourite comfort build from base Rise; the Hi Ninja Sword Bludgeoner.

For the Hi Ninja Sword there were two main build variants:

• Handicraft/Master's Touch to increase sharpness to blue and maintain it for longer
• Bludgeoner to capitalize on the massive green sharpness bar

With Sunbreak we now have the Master Ninja Sword. This has a huge blue sharpness bar, and it looks like the sharpness cannot be extended to white/purple. For this reason, both Handicraft and Master's Touch don't seem that useful (especially for Hard Basher build), and I think Bludgeoner has no effect at blue sharpness.

What are the alternative best decos for this weapon's builds? Is it worth picking up WeX? WeX and Critical Eye aren't needed as the weapon has 100% affinity.

With a modest 2-2-0 talisman you can get the following build:

• Attack Boost 7
• Crit Boost 3
• Offensive Guard 3
• Mind's Eye 3
• Wirebug Whisperer 3
• EITHER
  • Slugger 3
  • Guard Up 1
• OR
  • Chain Crit 3
  • Dereliction 1

Edit: I'm thinking Slugger for increased stun, and Guard Up for comfort?

Edit: Removed WeX from example build as it has no effect with this weapon.

Edit: Thanks for the replies. My final build with 2-2-0 talisman is above. You can use the set searcher to find a set that works
