Dilemma between these sets for LBG

AUL does a constant amount of damage for the long run while Challenger + 2 (i'm not sure how much it provides though) allows boost while the mobs is angry.

Set 1 :
AUL
Bonus Shot
Elemental Atk Up

Set 2:
Challenger + 2
Bonus Shot
Elemental Atk Up


Advice please!

it allways depends on the Monster. while challenger is good on Monsters that are often in ragemode (jho, giginox,...) it isn't as good on monsters that are rarely enraged. so for a general set i might preferre AUL. depending on how difficult it would be to make them you could still make both and use challenger on easily enraged monsters and AUL on others

EDIT: Challenger gives you AUL and Critical eye+3 (+30% Affinity) so all in all about double the bonus of AUL (allways depends on how much atk the weapon has)

In that case AuL will be better as it's constant buff while Challenger+2 is situational. In most cases it's not a big deal but when it comes to LBG you're not getting anything from CE+2 from challenger as element part dmg of element shots is unaffected by affinity. Also it's easier to make sets with AuL as Jhen line (Hallowed) gets bonus shot+AuM for free.
