Zachary King
Is the legendary adult kys I've been hearing so much about?
Damnit, /mhg/, what skills should I have for striker CB?
Henry Nguyen
not being retarded and switching to adept
Hunter Morales
>tfw going from LS to SnS
I feel so safe behind my tiny shield.
Gabriel Long
>switch to a strictly worse style
????
Guard+1/2 typical blademaster shit otherwise
artillery is garbage
Dominic Peterson
...
Wyatt Smith
but striker CB is actually good
Just get dreadking and throw in Artillery Novice somewhere
Anthony White
>worse style >artillery is garbage the bait is strong today
Sebastian Miller
>i'ts a "artillery is good on CB" episode
stop it's not good it was never good it only showed up on 4u sets because it was the last offensive skill available and AED's were powerful enough for it to do what little it did
Joseph Williams
top TA times are with striker artillery is outclassed by every other option, significantly
Elijah Ramirez
>big breasts, dark skin, inverted nipples
muh dick
Gavin Gutierrez
>looking at top Hellblade 10 times 1. Striker CB with Artillery Novice 2. Striker CB with Artillery Novice 3. Bushido CB with Artillery Novice
It is like Artillery Novice is good or something
Jackson Johnson
LOAD UP.
Thomas Hughes
are prowlers a meme or can they be actually good
when can I play them without being a burden?
Thomas Taylor
there must be an interaction i'm not aware of then because the math said it was shit in 4u and unless it was changed it should be shit in this game too considering the nerfs
Wyatt Foster
prowlers are like 4th or 5th fastest time on most monsters so yeah
fighting cat for damage, assist cat for less damage and utility
you need big boomerang, piercing boomerang, and boomerang pro to make it work
Sebastian Evans
Fighter Prowlers are an extremely solid mid-tier pick You need the right skills, though, so enjoy searching through LITERALLY 500 cats to find it
Crit S, Earplugs, Boomerang Pro and then teach Last Stand Piercing Boomerangs, Big Boomerangs, optional Dung Bombs and then teach Emergency Retreat
Bentley Murphy
a 30% damage increase to phials is pretty strong. Many of them are also taking Load up as to reload double the phials.
Load Up is any easy skill to add with the Barrage Earring
Nathaniel Baker
I need to clarify, I am under the assumption we are using Impact phials.
Jaxon Morris
>like SnS >like SA >can't get the hang of CB You'd think it'd be a happy medium, but I dunno
Logan Hernandez
Reminder LagiTama is the only true pairing, the meme of ZinTama needs to die
Daniel Harris
>Trying to level up silverwind >Keep getting shitters trying to use Lv1 Devent armor sets dying towards sonic booms Do I even want to know the struggle with the others?
Jonathan Young
>shipping in monster hunter please die
Joseph Perez
Rathalos (female)
Caleb Jenkins
kys
Tyler Butler
how do i aerial swaxe
Aaron Nelson
It's pretty straight-forward, dude Also, go Striker because 2+ arts is fucking broken on SA
Hunter Cox
I can confirm Energy Charge + Demon Riot + Abs Readiness is completely redic
Christian Bennett
What are some fun bowguns? I'm fine with either LBG or HBG, I just want to try out different gimmicky types. Already have a musket for crag and an isle for status, and while those are fun I want some variety to mix things up, even if I don't get the best kill times or whatever
Liam Diaz
still in low rank, wanna do a bugstick. which one should I make?
John Miller
If you want pierce on rapid you can make the Silverwind LBG. It has 40% affinity so you can easily get a 100% affinity on weakzones. It is pretty fun spam pierce and watch the screen shake wildly.
Thomas James
>tfw all the striker fags ITT gloat about having all these cool Hunter Arts and I have only unlocked a few
David Martinez
It sucks that you can't play the game right early on. Armor Skills themselves didn't usually make me feel that way, with the exception of maybe GS and few more oddly specific usage scenarios.
Robert Gonzalez
Well the most important one is Absolute readiness. You get most of them just by doing village.
Elijah Clark
then why don't you stop whining and unlock them you turboshitter
Luke Turner
...
Christian Davis
>Breezed through High Rank in Freedom Unite and 3 Ultimate >Can't even beat HR4 quests in Generations
Fuck, why is this so hard? I can't even beat a fucking Gypceros.
Anthony Bell
because you fucking suck, gypceros is not even hard
Chase Morris
>banned Fucking m*me yourself mods
Christian Harris
I know I'm terrible at the game.
But High Rank in this game feels like G Rank to me.
Luke Perez
That's because hypers and deviants are basically G-rank
Kevin Jones
enjoy your ban for ban evasion it's really not, finally we got another game which has just the right difficulty and doesn't actively try to be a chore. Upgrade your armor and weapons or make new ones, starting armors are surprisingly decent. finally i have a reason to use yukumo set. You can also get easy mushromancy just by shitting on bulldrome a couple times which you would want anyway to get gunner armor for plessy
Benjamin Ross
Just beat Narkarkos though, just started HR4.
Yeah, I'm using HR Bherna.
Maybe I should get a new weapon, I guess.
Xavier Hernandez
>Gimmicky Trying to make Sting shots work is interesting. In theory they have the potential to hit like a truck (hello Ukanlos Skyshatterer), but in practice they have a lot of kinks to work around.
Dazzling S is also fun alongside the Arm Cannon X.
Angel Miller
>lot of kinks like which? aren't they supposed to be just WE ammo?
Jordan Clark
No.
The specifics are that they add +100% affinity when you strike a hitzone of 45 or higher. The Ukanlos Skyshatter therefore has 70% positive affinity with it, but a weapon with neutral affinity reaches 100% crit chance.
Weakness Exploiter reverts to its 4U incarnation, with it increasing the weakness of a 45+ hitzone by 5 points.
The big kink is the critical distance. Although it *technically* has very generous critical distance, you have to be standing pretty far back to be inside it. Like, further back than Pierce 3. You know how you're usually told that "you're not a sniper" when you're using a Bowgun? Well, with Sting S you basically need to play like a sniper.
That's a big issue because you still have to aim as if they were Normal S, which is very difficult from 5+ dodge rolls away.
The upside is that they're 1/6th stronger than Normal S 2, benefit from TrueShot Up and have stronger synergy with Critical Boost, and double dips on Weakness Exploiter.
Matthew Johnson
is it worth it making a new glaive every time I can make one with better raw?
Xavier Hill
I forgot to mention, they also have limited clip sizes and ammo allowances, and they recoil "some" or lower recoil to fire on minimum recoil.
Cameron Gomez
They should remove all ranged weapons from the game.
Nicholas Roberts
t. assmad blademaster learn to diversify
Brayden Lopez
That's a lot of jelly and larva, dude
Oliver Martinez
I will learn diversity if you learn not to cart.
Cameron Ward
stop playing online like a scrub
Austin Nelson
yeah but I'm still in low rank and dont know what to use
Ayden Scott
Bring back slime and diversity is obsolete.
Luke White
I wanna try these games out but everyone says it has terrible grinding and that you have to do tons of research to understand everything is it that bad?
Landon Phillips
use whatever you want hellblade is the best IG anyway and narga is strong if you get crit boost other than that use whatever you want I built the magia pitareen and im working on a rhopessa set because i want to be the magical girl
Jacob Hughes
it does have grinding no two way about it but you don't have to research jack shit unless you want to beat TA scores or it just interests you
so long as you don't completely suck at it build and use what you think is cool. lord knows thats what most randoms do online anyways
the only thing you need to know is that armors with attack boosting skills are less likely to get you grief from "master hunters" online
Asher Robinson
Should i even try slicing ammo to cut tails or it's as worthless as slicing ammo was in 3U/4U/somewhere?
Isaac Lewis
3/4U it could cut tails with combines. Gen doesn't have anywhere near enough ammo to pop tails with Slicing.
Zachary Gonzalez
monster hunter is like a job where you beat up toddlers and take their candy. the candy is pretty shitty a lot of the time but sometimes it's incredibly good. But overall, the satisfaction doesn't come from the candy you steal from the toddlers, but the triumph that you just beat up a toddler.
you can choose to take this job like a minimum wage bs job and sleepwalk through it with a huge ass hammer to smack the toddlers around, but if you are really interested in the job you can do some research and try your best and try and make every shift interesting and unique.
The problem with getting paid candy though is that it's not always the candy you want, and to make the job interesting and unique you're going to need a lot of different candy. Sometimes you'll slap a toddler in the face 30 times to get a rare candy that has a 35% chance of being dropped by the toddler, and yet you won't get it for 5 shifts. But the work makes all the candy you have at the end of the day worth it, and there's no better feeling than sitting on your massive pile of wealth laughing at those less fortunate than you.
Matthew Allen
>It has terrible grinding Uhh... Well. I think something has been lost in translation there, friendo. Monster Hunter is all about grinding. MH is Grinding: The Game.
But it's fun grinding. REALLY fun grinding.
If grinding's not your thing, you won't like MH.
>Do you have to do tons of research? Eh, you don't NEED to. Just have an understanding of what combos your weapons do, what part of the monster you're meant to hit and what element it's weak to. That takes about 5s of googling per monster, not a whole lot of research. More like glancing at a spreadsheet. With all that said, some people chose to ignore all of that and just wear whatever looks nice and do whatever feels good. Which is fine, just... uhh... don't do it near any elitist jerks. Please.
Xavier Roberts
so do we have a complete list of all the weapons for gen yet
Sebastian Barnes
Slicing S in Generations, particularly Lvl 2, hits really hard.
John Jenkins
>tons All you need to know is that skill points don't do shit until you accumulate enough of them (noted on your status page) Aside from that, just kill monsters and make weapons/armor from their corpses
Also, looking at the resistances of a monster's armor can give you insight into its weakness but even that's typically not a super big deal for casual play
Carter Stewart
Where can I watch the best solo speedruns for MHGen/X? I wanna see some crazy shit.
John Wood
15/10
Brandon Hall
>what is Ping's Dex or kiranico
Luke Evans
do I have to use jelly+ to get the best bug or will basic jelly be fine?
Joshua Adams
jelly+ gets you there faster you'll end up with the same stat totals no matter what
Bentley Jenkins
...
Austin Barnes
Is kush HBG really good? It looks pretty unimpressive compared to shaggy or bubbles
Oliver Evans
>Is Daora Grande as good as speedruns make it out to be? It's the best Pierce 1 crouching fire HBG gun in the game, and really good outside of that. Requires Recoil Down+1 for Pierce 2 and 3, however. >Compared to BUBBLES!!!! Mountainous Roar doesn't require RD+1. That's literally its only selling point compared to other Pierce guns. >Shaggy You're comparing a Normal S gun to a Pierce S gun.
Joseph Kelly
Can Fate increase my odds of getting more charms when during a sakura charm run?
Adam Jones
Is crouching pierce 1 really this important?
Isaiah Barnes
Because of how Pierce works, yes.
Note that Pierce works wonky in general. >1 is the strongest per hit, but hits the least amount of times >2 hits more times, but loses a few points in base attack >3 hits the most, but is like only 2/3 the attack power of 1's As such, you tend to see higher DPS with Pierce 1's over 2's and 3's outside of select situations where you know you can get all of the hits off in turn.
Ethan Morris
I hate how a lot of bowgun shots are like this, normal is the same and IIRC (could be completely wrong) crag is similar in wonkiness
I wish somebody would just make a video or huge guide with good details on what every shot does exactly
Adam Wood
Yes. It's used in speedruns for a reason.
>a lot of bowgun shots are like this Literally only Pierce and Normal 2/3.
The rule of thumb is still that higher level shots = more damage. Even for Pierce. Usually. Mostly.
>Crag is similar in wonkiness Linear increase in power.
>I wish somebody would make a huge guide There is an abundance of exactly what you're looking for. Just google it.
Owen Brooks
>be blademaster forever across multiple gens >decide to finally try out gunner >clean up village quests I didn't do for practice >get ridiculous fast kill times even compared to similar rank blademaster stuff >absolutely wreck everything with no contest >LBG arts are both fun and great to use >feeling confident, bring my bowgun to HR >get hit once >half HP gone >choke constantly and faint >be an embarrassment to my entire hunting crew >go immediately back to blademaster I was not good enough
Isaac Long
>I need a Fastcharge+5 000 charm make the Grimclaw as good as the generic Dreadking set for GS Feels_bad_man >I have a Punishdraw+6 000 charm FELS_AMAZING_MAN.
I never knew GS could be so fun even without Focus.
Gavin Gomez
How good is a specific Element Up?
Camden Parker

Adam Taylor

Why is jho crying? :(
Hudson Hughes

It's no wonder their entry was rejected.
