MH4U Armour Set Showcase - Standard Offensive Blademaster
Another one of my standard sets for when I don't need Evasion skills, this set is designed to deal lots of damage and maintain health and sharpness with increased speed to those actions. It also doesn't require weapon slots, just like my previous set. However it's also not super customisable either, really being restricted to the skills listed here (Speed Sharpening can be switched though).
The major upside of this set compared to many of my other ones is that it's very accessible - Handicraft +5 is all you need to make this work with any 1-slot weapon. Handicraft +4/2 slots would also work with a 1-slot weapon, since there is a spare point of Sharpness that can be used up with a Handicraft 2 decoration.
In the long run I'm not sure how worth it Atk Up XL is compared to Honed Blade. 5 more True Attack is great, but Honed Blade tends to have Challenger +2 alongside it due to the Rajang gear, or even Critical Eye with White Fatalis parts. As a result, for pure damage sets Edgemaster is probably the superior skill, as it synergises better with other attack-increasing abilities.
That said, Attack sets tend to run with Deviljho or Molten Tigrex gear, which lends itself to the Eating skill. This lets you have Speed Eating +2, which is a fairly underrated skill imo. ESPECIALLY if you run SnS. Consider running either Mushroomancer or Rationer instead of Speed Sharpneing on this set if you use SnS!
