You can swap out the Amber Slash III for a Hidden Axe II (Narga Tree) for more Affinity. If doing that, swap out Frost decorations with Poison Attack decorations.
7★ Hub Quests
There are three weapon choices here, pick whichever is best for you.
If you opted for the Hidden Axe II, then Upgrading straight to Night's Crescent may be the better option.
If you want to go for Sinister Shadowslice, you are looking at quite a few clears of Magnamalo before obtaining this weapon.
If you went with Amber Slash III previously, it will be easy to upgrade to Amber Hoarfrost.
