1. Ceadeus Regalia
This one has the top spot on my list due to the fact that it's got an excellent raw output, good overall sharpness and high water element. The letdown however is that the materials needed to make this CB is a bit hard to get but once crafted, it'll be worth it in the end.
- Attack - 1080 Impact
- True Attack - 300
- Element - 310 Water
- Affinity - 0%
- Sharpness - 60 hits with white or 30 hits with purple with Sharpness +1
- Defense - +0
- Slots - No slots
- Rarity - 10
2. Daora's Thwartoise
A nice well rounded CB that has the potential to be involved in most blademaster sets. Doesn't need any special skills to make it shine and standout because the weapon itself has balanced stats overall. Only a two step process to make this CB, create then upgrade to G-rank level. Doesn't demand too much materials to create.
- Attack - 972 Impact
- True Attack - 270
- Element - 380 Ice
- Affinity - 10%
- Sharpness - 30 hits with white or 60 hits with purple with Sharpness +1
- Defense - +0
- Slots - Two slots
- Rarity - 10
3. Propensity
The fire and ferocity of a Silver Rathalos is imbued in this CB. The one thing you'll first notice with this weapon is that large chunk of purple sharpness it has when you pair it up with the skill Sharpness +1 or Honed Blade. Well balanced weapon that thrashes enemies weak to fire. You can choose to make this weapon early on or create it with G-rank Silver Rathalos parts and upgrade it once after that.
- Attack - 972 Impact
- True Attack - 270
- Element - 320 Fire
- Affinity - 20%
- Sharpness - 100 hits with white or 80 hits with purple with Sharpness +1
- Defense - +0
- Slots - No slots
- Rarity - 10
4. Le Salut
Shagaru Magala's CB that just reeks with affinity and element. It has one of the best sharpness bars I've ever seen. The raw may look underwhelming but it's still powerful when paired up with its high affinity value. The only downside to this weapon is that you'll need to make this starting from low rank Gore Magala and Shagaru Magala parts and upgrade it five more times to reach its last upgrade.
- Attack - 900 Impact
- True Attack - 250
- Element - 390 Dragon
- Affinity - 35%
- Sharpness - 120 hits with white or 80 hits with purple with Sharpness +1
- Defense - +0
- Slots - No slots
- Rarity - 10
5. Light Break Charge Blade
Having one of the most versatile element in the game, which is blast, makes this CB a good weapon against almost all the monsters that MH4U has to offer. This could be your go-to-weapon when you don't know what CB to bring and it'll downright demolish the monsters for you. The crafting of this CB on the other hand is a bit tedious because it can only be created if you max out the low rank Brachydios CB and finish off the last upgrade with the Critical/Furious Brachydios parts.
- Attack - 1008 Impact
- True Attack - 280
- Element - 330 Blast
- Affinity - 0%
- Sharpness - 30 hits with white or 30 hits with purple with Sharpness +1
- Defense - +0
- Slots - Two slots
- Rarity - 10
*Do note that the attack values here are the original values they started off with, they aren't honed with attack.
There you have my top 5 non-relic Charge Blades! Some of you may agree and some may not, but we are all entitled to our own preference, my list doesn't mean that these are the CBs that's you would only aim for, no it's not like that, but let this list be a baseline to help you choose what kind of stats you would look for when checking out CBs.
Craft, craft, craft and enjoy! Happy hunting!
