Dual Stance Hybrid Braver Build
This is a hybrid build good at any circumstances. The build aims on hitting weak points when available with either the Bow's strong single target PAs, or the Katana's AoE, and switching off to Average Stance in order to avoid Weak Stance's penalty.
While Combat Finish and uncharged PAs aren't any worse than with other builds, your SP is spread a little too thinly, reducing the effectiveness of both weapons.
