build 2h toram online

Ahem... Ok lets stop that farce.

Are you still here? OK lets get right into it.

STAT DISTRIBUTION:-
Choose any one of them based on your preference and playstyle: 
1.) Full DEX rest STR
2.) Full STR rest DEX
3.) Full DEX 40VIT rest STR
4.) Full DEX 80VIT rest STR

Quick recap for katana growths:-
2.5ATK per DEX
1.5ATK per STR
0.075 stability per STR
0.025 stability per DEX
STR gives CDMG
DEX gives Accuracy 
 
Q.)Why most of the stats distribution recommend DEX over STR ?

I have calculated myself countless times and the result always gives me better highest damage with DEX instead of STR and this is especially true if you choose 3rd or 4th stat ratio with VIT. DEX gives even better output the more VIT you add. In case you dont add any VIT there is very small difference between full DEX rest STR vs. full STR rest DEX with full DEX still having a better output. If you dont plan to add any VIT you can choose either whatever your preference. 
HAH LIAR! I have tested it myself full STR gives better output than full DEX  
No it doesnt. You may be experiencing better damage due to 100% stability but thats it.
The reason why DEX is better is because of the skill "Two Handed" which is one of the main passive skills for this build. If you have read my info dump thread the skill increases totalATK by 50% on damage calculation of critical hits meaning:-
Instead of 1ATK difference between DEX and STR that is 2.5 - 1.5 theres actually a 1.5ATK difference between DEX and STR that is 3.75 - 2.25
 You suck!! STR is still better because of the higher stability 
Stability means nothing if you cant prevent grazing. Grazing occurs due to lack of Accuracy which is obtained by DEX 
Hah whatever! Also who needs VIT when you can shred all bosses in seconds 
Yeah sure if you are skilled enough you do that for the rest of us if you fail to time your zantei on a strong attack its insta death.
All katana builds in my opinion need 8-10K HP to avoid dying against actual strong bosses due to a failed parry. i experienced this first hand with just 5.5K HP and no resistance you are prone to die a lot against strong bosses like York hard or Memeco hard.

A short summary for non katana tree mandatory skills:-
Godspeed:-
Passive skill which gives some AGI and some thing else but the most important stat it gives is Unsheathe Attack +25% at lvl10. 
 
Flash Blast:-
Support buff skill which gives +10% Unsheathe Attack at lvl10 for 20seconds. 
 
War Cry:-
Support skill which gives +10% ATK at lvl10 for 25seconds. Also arguably the best save tag skill. 
 
Impact:-
I need not explain this at this point I think. 
 
Quick Aura:-
Works well as a lvl1 filler. Gives high ASPD at lvl10 if you plan to make your build giga speed potion proof. 
 
EQUIPMENTS:- As you can see I do not use meikyo to get crit rate as it harshly limits combo creations. Because of that our equipments will focus on boosting critical rate. Add xtas mentioned as "1st slot" only in case you do not have 2slotted equipment 

Weapon:-
[If possible get elemental katana as there ]
Kuro tsurubami ATK 50-55 
+B (+A/+S only recommended if you have extra spina as theres hardly any difference between them and +B with weapon atk as low as 50)
NUETRAL:
Critical+14
Critical+14%
Critical Damage +14
Critical Damage +7% or ATK+7% (Doesnt matter what you choose as theres hardly much difference between them. I personally prefer Critical damage +7%)
ELEMENTAL:
Element
+14% Damage against element
Critical+14
[Avoid Negative stats like physical resistance-7% or magical resistance-7%]

Odelon machina (1st slot)

Critical+14% (+13 if low pot)
Critical Damage+14 (+13 if low pot)
Critical Damage+7%
Keep the armor no remodeled or light armor if you want more ASPD (NOTE: Having high dodge may cripple your zantei against certain bosses as misses do not count towards parrying)

Ifrid (1st slot)
Iconos (2nd slot) or Cerberus (2nd slot) 
Additional:-
Gothic Hat (NPC version)

COMBOS:
ZANTEI COMBOS
Setup Combo: (1mp)
Pulse blade + War Cry(save) + Flash Blast(save) + Impact(swift)
Zantei Main Combo: (4mp, 2mp if Impact active)
Zantei Settetsu + Flash Blast(save) + Impact(swift)
Zantei Burst Combo: (4mp, 3mp if Impact active)
Impact + Zantei Settetsu(smite) + Pommel Strike(cons)
Use Setup Combo once to get war cry and flash blast active then use Zantei Main combo 2-3times or use Zantei Burst combo once and then repeat Setup combo. To get better timing from Zantei Burst combo use Impact from a distance (more than 3m) and come close to use Zantei when the enemy is attacking.
HASSO HAPPA COMBOS

Setup Combo: (1mp)
Pulse blade + War Cry(save) + Flash Blast(save) + Impact(swift)
Hasso Burst Combo: (5mp, 4mp is Impact active)
Impact + Hasso Happa(smite) + Pommel Strike(cons)
Use Setup Combo once to get war cry and flash blast active then either use Hasso Burst once or a manual no combo Hasso (Manual hasso will allow you to slide in case you want to avoid an aoe) then repeat Setup. 

Hasso 1mp (No Setup)
Pulse blade + War Cry(save) + Flash Blast(cons) + Quick Aura(swift) + Impact(cons) + Hasso Happa(smite) + Pommel Strike(cons)
No Setup Combo is useful when there is a tank in the party or if timing zantei is difficult for the boss or just if you are CP lvling. Pulse Blade should be used from long distance to avoid damage taken by enemy's close range aoes. The combo can be made shorter by removing Flash Blast and/or Quick Aura in case the boss uses blue long range tracker aoe but it will reduce the 150% smite to 110%. 
Make sure to abuse shukuchi and the sliding mechanic to quickly regain MP to use burst combos
