The build is complex in explaining, yet easy to use.

This is NOT a heavy attack build.

Simple Explination:
-You build status application/double status via your combo counter
-You build critical chance via your combo counter
-You build attack speed as you critical hit which leads to more crits and more status effects and thus more damage.
-The above statement leads to red crits and double status procs in a hit and forget at 12x.
Basically. Go hit enemies and find more enemies to hit to do even more damage.

You will almost never see any real lasting effect from most of the combo counter build up once you pass 2x counter unless you are facing seriously hard enemies. (Most things will die on the first strike)

This allows you to dispatch those harder enemies even faster due to it's ramp up and maintain the counter as you move around.

Replace Drifting Contact with Healing Return if you wish to self heal against hard mobs. (Will require a forma)
