High DPS Gogmazios Greatsword TU4
This guide gives a complete, battle-tested TU 4 Gogmazios Greatsword build designed to squeeze the highest consistent damage out of the Gogma Artian greatsword while keeping survivability and sharpness management in focus. The approach is simple: stack raw power and critical chance where it matters, shorten charge times so you can land more True Charged Slashes, and keep sharpness high so your hits don’t get clipped by bounce. You’ll learn exact armor pieces, decoration priorities, augment choices, consumables, positioning and phase-by-phase scripts that turn a chaotic Gogmazios fight into a predictable rhythm. This is a practical, hands-on blueprint for players who want to dominate TU4 Gogmazios with the Greatsword.
Why this build works
Gogmazios is a monster that punishes sloppy positioning and rewards disciplined, high-damage windows. The Greatsword’s strengths—huge single-hit damage, long reach, and stagger potential—match Gogmazios’s fight pattern: long openings when it staggers or exposes its head and chest, and punishing, telegraphed attacks you can avoid if you read the monster. This build focuses on three pillars: damage, consistency, and uptime. Damage comes from raw attack, Weakness Exploit, and Agitator windows. Consistency comes from Focus to charge faster and Handicraft to keep white/blue sharpness. Uptime comes from mobility choices, tackle usage, and a small defensive cushion so you can stay in the fight longer without being carted by surprise beam or oil attacks.
Weapon and Augments
Use the Gogma Artian Greatsword (commonly called the Artian Gogmazios GS). It has the raw numbers and augment slots you need in TU4. Prioritize the following augments in this order: Attack, Affinity (if available), then Sharpness or Defense depending on your comfort level. The ideal augment spread is Attack + Sharpness; if you can only get Attack + Affinity, that’s still excellent because Weakness Exploit will convert head hits into massive crits.
When choosing between raw and elemental variants, pick raw. Gogmazios’s resistances and the way its armor mechanics work make raw damage with high affinity and sharpness the most reliable path for Greatsword users. Elemental blades can be fun for niche runs, but for TU4 endgame consistency, raw Artian is the pick.
Armor and Skill Targets
Aim for a set that delivers the following core skills at these thresholds: Weakness Exploit 3, Agitator 5, Focus 3, Handicraft 5. These are the pillars. Weakness Exploit turns head hits into criticals; Agitator boosts raw attack during staggers and enraged windows; Focus shortens charge times so you can land more True Charged Slashes; Handicraft extends sharpness so you stay in white/blue longer and avoid bounces.
If you can reach those exact numbers, your damage profile will be optimized. If you can’t, prioritize Focus and Weakness Exploit first, then Handicraft, then Agitator. Defensive skills like Health Boost 3 or Guard are optional if you struggle with beam or oil hits, but they come at the cost of raw damage. Use charms to fill gaps: a Focus charm or Weakness Exploit charm is often the easiest path to the target thresholds.
Decoration and Gem Priorities
Decorations should be slotted to reach the skill targets above. Prioritize Focus jewels, Handicraft jewels, and Tenderizer/Tar jewels (or their equivalents) to ensure you can hit head windows. If you have limited jewels, get Focus and Weakness Exploit first; you can make up for missing Handicraft with a Sharpness augment on the weapon. Critical Boost is a nice-to-have but not mandatory if you already have Weakness Exploit and high affinity.
Talisman and Charm Choices
A charm that fills missing points for Focus or Weakness Exploit is ideal. If you’re forced to choose, a Focus charm is the most universally useful because it shortens charge times across the board. If you have a charm that gives Handicraft, you can free up decoration space for Agitator or Attack.
Consumables and Prep
Bring the usual staples: Max Potions, Mega Nutrients, Armor Skin, Might Seed, Adamant Seed, Demondrug, Armorskin, Flash Pods, Dung Pods, and Coolant/Hot Drink if the arena has environmental hazards. Tar and Oil are optional but useful if you want to amplify damage windows with status or to prevent slipping. Use food that boosts Attack and Stamina so you can maintain charge cycles and avoid stamina-based skill drops.
Loadout Example (TU4 Practical)
Weapon: Gogma Artian Greatsword with Attack augment and Sharpness augment if available. Armor: Mix Doshaguma chest/waist with Gogmazios greaves to leverage set synergies introduced in TU4. Aim to reach the skill thresholds listed earlier. Charm: Focus +2 or Weakness Exploit +2 depending on your decoration spread. Decorations: Focus x2, Handicraft x2, Tenderizer x1, Attack x1, Agitator x1 (adjust based on what you have).
This exact mix is flexible; the important part is hitting the skill targets and keeping sharpness high.
Positioning and Movement Fundamentals
Greatsword is a deliberate weapon. You want to be in the right place at the right time, not constantly chasing. Positioning is about predicting Gogmazios’s attack patterns and staying in the sweet spot where you can land head hits without being in range of the beam or oil explosions. The head and chest are your primary targets. The tail is a secondary target only when the head is inaccessible.
When Gogmazios winds up for a beam or oil attack, back off and reposition to its flank. Use the Greatsword’s reach to poke from the side and avoid getting boxed in. When the monster charges or lunges, sidestep and punish the recovery. Tackle is your friend: use it to close distance after a dodge or to reposition through a stagger window. Guard points and perfect blocks are advanced tools; if you’re comfortable with them, they can turn risky moments into damage opportunities, but they’re not required for this build.
Charge Management and Combo Flow
Your primary damage tool is the True Charged Slash and the follow-up combos that maximize damage per opening. The ideal flow is to build up to a fully charged True Charged Slash during safe windows, land it on the head or chest, then follow with a quick combo to capitalize on the stagger. Focus reduces the time to charge, so you can fit more True Charged Slashes into each fight.
A typical combo sequence: two quick verticals to build charge, then hold for a True Charged Slash, land it, then step in for a follow-up combo or reposition. If the monster is staggered, chain another True Charged Slash after a short reposition. Avoid overcommitting: if the monster shows signs of a counterattack, cancel the charge and reposition.
Phase One Script
Phase One is about learning the monster’s tells and building momentum. Start by probing with a few charged hits to test reach and timing. Build Agitator stacks by landing heavy hits and capitalize on the first stagger with a fully charged True Charged Slash to the head. Keep your distance when Gogmazios begins oil or beam animations; these are telegraphed and punishable.
When Gogmazios exposes its maw or chest, that’s your cue to go all-in. Use a sequence of two True Charged Slashes with a short reposition between them. If the monster retreats or turns, back off and reset. Use flash pods only if the monster is airborne or to interrupt a dangerous attack that would otherwise force a cart.
Phase Two Script
Phase Two is where the arena gets cramped and the monster’s attacks become more aggressive. Your priorities shift slightly: maintain sharpness and avoid getting cornered. Use shorter charge windows and rely on Focus to get quick True Charged Slashes rather than long charges that leave you vulnerable. When Gogmazios performs sweeping attacks, move to its flank and punish the recovery. If it performs a beam, use the beam’s end as a timing cue to step in for a charged hit.
If the monster begins to coat itself in oil or perform area-denial attacks, use dung pods to reset positioning or flash pods to interrupt. Keep an eye on your stamina and use seeds to avoid being caught mid-charge with no stamina to evade.
Damage Maximization Techniques
Maximizing damage is not just about raw numbers; it’s about timing and target selection. Always aim for the head when possible. If the head is inaccessible, the chest is the next best target. Use tackle to reposition quickly after a dodge and land a True Charged Slash. Use the environment: ledges and walls can be used to reposition or to bait certain attacks that create openings.
When Gogmazios staggers, don’t panic. Line up a True Charged Slash and commit. If you have Agitator active, that stagger window is where your damage spikes. If you’re running with teammates, coordinate so only one player is on the head at a time to avoid blocking each other’s hit windows.
Survivability and Defensive Tricks
Survivability is about avoiding the big hits and mitigating small ones. Keep a mental list of the monster’s most dangerous attacks and the tells that precede them. Use armor skins and defensive consumables if you’re struggling. If you find yourself getting hit by the beam or oil attacks, add a small defensive skill like Health Boost 2 or Evade Window to your build. These cost damage potential but can be the difference between a successful run and a cart.
When you’re low on health, don’t try to squeeze in a risky charge. Back off, heal, and re-enter the fight. Greatsword’s damage is so high that missing one big opening is preferable to getting carted and losing the run.
Multiplayer Considerations
In multiplayer, coordination matters. Greatsword players should call out when they’re committing to a head hit so teammates don’t block the opening. If you’re the designated head hitter, ask teammates to focus on flanks or tail to avoid crowding. Use flash pods and traps to create longer openings for your True Charged Slashes. If teammates are running status or elemental builds, coordinate to stagger the monster at predictable times so you can capitalize.
Troubleshooting Common Problems
If you’re bouncing off the monster, you’re either hitting the wrong spot or your sharpness is too low. Fix this by increasing Handicraft or adding a Sharpness augment. If you’re getting hit by the beam or oil attacks, you’re likely too close or misreading the tells; practice the timing in lower-stakes hunts. If you can’t land True Charged Slashes consistently, reduce charge time with Focus or practice the charge-cancel flow so you can reposition mid-charge.
Advanced Tips and Tricks
Use tackle to reposition through a stagger and land a follow-up True Charged Slash. Learn to cancel a charge into a sidestep when the monster telegraphs a counterattack. If you’re comfortable with guard points, use them to turn a risky moment into a damage window. When the monster is enraged, be more conservative with long charges; rely on Focus to get quick, repeatable True Charged Slashes.
Practice Routine
Spend time in the training area practicing charge timing and tackle repositioning. Practice landing True Charged Slashes on a moving target and learn to read the monster’s tells. Run a few low-stakes hunts to get comfortable with the build before attempting high-difficulty TU4 Gogmazios runs.
Build Variants and Alternatives
If you prefer a more defensive playstyle, swap one offensive decoration for Health Boost or Evade Window. If you want faster clears and are confident in your positioning, add Critical Boost and Attack jewels to push DPS higher. For players who lack Handicraft jewels, use a Sharpness augment on the weapon and prioritize Focus and Weakness Exploit.
Final Checklist Before a Run
Ensure your weapon has the Attack augment. Confirm you have Focus and Weakness Exploit at the target thresholds. Pack Max Potions, Armor Skin, Flash Pods, and Dung Pods. Eat for Attack and Stamina. Enter the hunt with a clear plan: head first, chest second, reposition aggressively but safely.
FAQ
Q: Is raw or elemental better for Gogmazios Greatsword? Raw is the most consistent choice for Greatsword users in TU4. Gogmazios’s resistances and the way its armor mechanics work make raw damage with high affinity and sharpness the most reliable path. Elemental builds can work for niche runs but are less consistent.
Q: What augments should I prioritize on the Gogma Artian Greatsword? Prioritize Attack first, then Sharpness or Affinity depending on your decoration spread. Attack + Sharpness is ideal for maximizing raw damage and avoiding bounces.
Q: Which skills are mandatory for this build? Aim for Weakness Exploit 3, Focus 3, and Handicraft 5 as the core. Agitator is highly recommended to boost damage during staggers and enraged windows.
Q: What if I don’t have the right jewels? Prioritize Focus and Weakness Exploit jewels first. Use charms to fill gaps. If you lack Handicraft jewels, use a Sharpness augment on the weapon.
Q: How do I avoid getting hit by Gogmazios’s beam and oil attacks? Learn the tells. Back off when you see the wind-up and reposition to the flank. Use tackle to reposition through stagger windows and flash pods to interrupt dangerous attacks.
Q: Is this build viable for multiplayer? Yes. Coordinate with teammates so you’re not crowding the head. Use flash pods and traps to create longer openings for True Charged Slashes.
Q: Should I use a shield or guard build instead? Guard builds are viable but change the playstyle. This guide focuses on maximizing raw Greatsword damage. If you prefer a defensive approach, swap decorations for Guard or Health Boost.

Condensed Phase‑by‑Phase Quick Reference (On‑Screen During Hunts)
Phase One — Opening Rhythm Stay at mid-range and probe with two quick verticals to test reach. Build Agitator by landing heavy hits. When Gogmazios winds up for a long attack, back off; when it staggers or exposes the head, commit to a True Charged Slash. Use Focus to shorten charge time and land more True Charged Slashes per opening.
Phase One Key Cues Head tilt + roar = imminent beam; back off and reposition to flank. Slow forward lean = oil spit; sidestep and punish recovery.
Phase Two — Tight Arena, Faster Patterns Shorten charge windows. Use tackle to close distance after a dodge. Prioritize quick True Charged Slashes rather than long holds. When Gogmazios performs sweeping attacks, move to the flank and punish the recovery. Flash pods interrupt airborne or dangerous attacks; use them to create safe openings.
Phase Two Key Cues Repeated head shakes = enraged; expect more sweeps and beam combos. Oil coating = avoid standing in pools; reposition to safe ground.
Stagger Windows When the monster staggers, line up a True Charged Slash to the head, then follow with a quick combo. If Agitator is active, this is your highest damage window—commit fully but keep an escape route.
Beam and Oil Avoidance Beam has a long wind-up; back off and reposition to the flank. Oil attacks leave lingering hazards—step out of the area and use Dung Pods if you need to reset positioning.
Multiplayer Tips Call your head hits. If you’re the head hitter, ask teammates to avoid crowding the head. Use flash pods and traps to extend stagger windows for your True Charged Slashes.
Quick Troubleshooting Cheatsheet (One‑Line Fixes)
If you bounce: increase Handicraft or use Sharpness augment. If you get hit by beam/oil: increase spacing and learn the wind-up tells. If you can’t land True Charged Slashes: add Focus or practice charge-cancel repositioning. If you die often: swap one offensive jewel for Health Boost or Evade Window.
