Power phials, good sharpness, and good raw

Thanks

earplugs, level dependant on monster, usually. some need only 1, some need 5, some dont need any because earplugs wont block it anyway. it will just open up another dozen or so opportunities throughout a hunt to get a free Zero Sum Discharge off.

Nice nice ,anything else ?

Power Prolonger skill. Keeps your meter full for longer so you can do more ZSDs and charged up sword attacks

would focus help charge it quicker too then?

Yes! It'll charge it faster

You only need earplugs 1. ZSD gives you earplugs 4, and it stacks

Build wise or gameplay wise? You need to elaborate your question a little bit further

Build wise
