Game plan
A Fire-element take on the offset Great Sword. The Gogma Artian runs Affinity Focus with a Fire infusion for 624 element, and the skill page leans on Attack Boost 5, Agitator 3, and Maximum Might 3 instead of crit — so raw stays high while Fire Attack 3 and the big element pool punish fire-weak heads. Play it like any offset GS: hold Focus Mode, bait the swing, offset rising slash into a Strong Charged combo, then cash out with a True Charged Slash on the weak point. Soul of the Dark Knight (2P) unlocks The Blackest Night, a heavy counter on a cooldown — save it for big telegraphed attacks. With no Critical Boost in the kit, your damage comes from landing clean charges, so keep Weakness Exploit on the wound and never whiff the long ones.
