Seeing as how you most likely get a full health boost whenever you start a raid, and seeing as how it'd be very unsafe to try and proc Bull in a raid (and also take up time, therefore risking more Defenders coming out), I decided to try and make a build that just stacked tons of raw damage with my weapon of choice, the Katana.
The reason I made this build instead of simply abusing Evershrooms? Quite simple. I can't be fucked sending people out on expeditions anymore, takes like 5 minutes, 4 of which are just the network trying to load data.
2x Barbarian (One premium, one regular) provides +40% damage to the Masamune/Muramusa, 2x Giant Killer adds +60% damage, and is actually worthwhile against dev defenders as the lowest I've seen their level go is 137. That and, come on, it's fuck all difficult to get even a 130 character.
This was done with a Masamune S +0, using a Striker with only 180 STR; a DEX discount decal was needed to equip the weapon, sacrificing a potential damage decal. You'd get much better results with a Masamune S +4 (Muramusa is also viable, but due to the durability loss/damage falloff, not as efficient) combined with an Attacker, or even a Shooter as DEX scales better with the Katana.
Decals of interest to fill the 5th slot would be Wizard, Samurai, Barbell (very difficult to acquire), Superalloy (to ensure the two-hit L2's, or even a one shot), Legendary Hero (very difficult to acquire, and will stop working from so much as a scratch from a nail gun), and Serial Killer (suffers from the same problem as Legendary Hero). If you're lacking the premiums for Barbarian/Giant Killer, Wizard/Samurai/Dumbbell are decent "always active" alternatives.
