### Description

Jumping attacks can be incredibly powerful both in terms of raw damage and stagger potential, and provide opportunities to follow up with additional attacks while your target is recovering - simply buff both Giant-Crushers with Royal Knight's Resolve, then perform a dual jumping attack While leveling this build, you can use the Prelate's Inferno Crozier until you get the second Giant-Crusher on New Game+ (or obtain one from another player via an online trade). To boost the damage of your jump attacks, equip the Claw Talisman for an additional +15% and the Raptor's Black Feathers chest armor for another +10%. Royal Knight's Resolve adds +80% extra damage to the next attack for 10s, and while its short duration can make it tricky to apply to both weapons, the resulting burst damage is unparalleled. Optionally, the Ritual Sword Talisman grants a +10% increase to all attack damage while your HP is full.

For a safer and less demanding playstyle, you can use Raptor of the Mists on one Giant-Crusher and buff the other with Royal Knight's Resolve for slightly less burst damage, but much less setup time. Charged attacks with this build are also extremely powerful, although using them requires sufficient time to set up your attack without being hit.
