The earthquake builds are best. Moni+tec+lunging strike with nothing else can get you into T4.
For speed builds I’d recommend WW earthquake. It’s comfy and fast. A few of the other earthquake variants are a little better at pushing though.
This is true.
Lot of guides switch out of moni+tec but I use situationally with my hota, even if it’s bludgeon based can switch out to lunging strike to spam quakes easier(or more accurately) than lith+tec
