100% Crit/Para SA Build. Full health and double divine protection.

With crit boost, Critting is better than having more sharpness. A paralysis would be good because thats what it seem like they are going for, but crits are great. big damage boost compared to the smaller damage boost for white sharpness, assuming this weapon can reach white sharpness.

Of course I don't need* 100% affinity; I can tear through elders with naked swagaxe, but some perfectionist / completionist go for this. It was not possible to accomplish this prior with efficiency. The drachen armor is what helps push it.

It doesn't really need paralyze+. The taroth paralysis axe has native 450 paralysis with 3 free element.

830 Attack 50% affinity (100% to weak spots) 450 paralysis

Also, this is a very minimal gem build. The critical eye cannot be lowered since it is all from the armor. This is however a very easy-to-change to type looking build however.

It has 3 gem 1 slots, 4 gem 2 slots, and 3 gem 3 slots.

Gems used are Vitality 1 Protection 1 x 2 Mighty 2 Critical 2 Tenderizer 2 x 3 Release 3 x 3

This build has many advantages however. Most importantly, maximum survivability with health boost 3 added protection for massive saves on spammy elders--feel free to use these as your swaps. Next, maximum advantage of element proc with full critical your weapon won't be bouncing off very often (for axe, sword has native mindseye.) Even in green I don't have snags unless it's lavasquish or mudbath. And critical boost 1 is already there from armor so I just tacked on another to compliment it. If you're not into the element swap all level 3 slots for element less + what ever gets you off.

Handicraft does nothing for this build really since it does not reach white. It has a very huge blue chunk however, which easily is more than enough.
