They're the only ones where aesthetics and actual gameplay are both good. All the others either look like generic trash and have fun fights, or look good and have garbage fights.

This piece of shit is the worst monster in MH. Trash fight, trash design, and thank god its weapons and armor are shit in World so theres no reason to hunt its no-fun-allowed ass.

Brachydios is the best flagship.

See, you zoomers don't know this but before 3U came out our most recent games were Tri and P3rd. Both signalled a CONSIDERABLE drop in difficulty, and the primary concern of MHfags is that the series was done. Even if new monsters appeared, they would never be a challenge again.

Then Brachydios arrived. 3U's Brachydios; every other iteration of the monster has nerfed him to hell and back. Even before the game came out people in japan proclaimed it the hardest flagship EVER. We all got excited and I personally bought a 3DS XL and 3U JUST to fight this one monster. And man was it worth it. Frighteningly powerful, unpredictable and fast, with explosions so large they couldn't be i-framed or dodged without two full rolls, and low hitzones designed to fuck over people looking for an easy kill. And its weapons were so good that you HAD to fight it, and use its corpse bits to kill other monsters. It revived Monster Hunter and set the franchise back on the path of fucking the player raw.

Gee it's almost like there's a skill for that.

I honestly found brachy harder in successive games. In 3U he was a massive KO magnet, you could hammer him to death real easy.

I remember farming that 2 Baggi 1 Brachy quest for Palliums, and the G rank Great Baggis were harder than Brachy.

This.
Brachy was at his easiest in 3U.

LS is spoiled af in every game and always gets a dozen strong choices. Just use whatever you think is the coolest.

I used Rathian back in vanilla before I dropped it upon learning I learned why my spirit combos weren't doing any damage for some god-forsaken reason. It turns out I was supposed to actually the foresight slash and helm splitter animeshit moves. To this day I refuse to touch the weapon with a thirty-seven and a half foot barge pole

pls be patient I need sleep

What about using any of the other 9 weapons?

Valstrax because he's a fucking plane dragon. Then Narg and then Nerg, in that order.

>LS is spoiled af in every game

Except MHFU. Fuck grinding Copper Blangonga.

Japan a shit.

You have to remove one weapon from the mainline series permanently. Which one and WHY?

HH was also easy because he get's KOed so fast. Pretty sure DBs were fine because he was weak to water, just don't spam demon dances like a retard. Switch Axe was also easy because the weapon was overpowered to fuck in 3rd gen. I didn't really use many other weapons in 3U but I'm sure they were fine.

>All that misinformation

Could've just said you never played 3U. I won't blame you.

I'm sorry that you were so shit that you found base brachy hard in 3U. Now clashing fists was some shit, but regular brachy, really?

You want me to prove that you're a liar? That's easy.

For starters the only part you can consistently reach with DBs in G-rank are his fists, which only take 10 water. So he's not weak to water, no.

kiranico.com/en/mh3u/monster/brachydios

Secondly, SA weren't even close to overpowered in 3U. Grongigas, Kelbi bow? Sure. SA? Fuck no.

Need I proceed or do you feel humiliated yet?

Rathalos. My first MH game was MHF, to be fair, so perhaps there's some bias. But Rathalos, for me, is both familiar and new; he's a typical red dragon, but with that MH spin. It's not a mistake that he's been featured in literally every game.

>best LS in the game is fully upgraded the second you get to Rajang
>requires no rare drops

Come the fuck on, user. You get rewarded for poking Rajang's legs with the best weapon in the game. How is that NOT spoiled?

Gen 1 Rathalos is the most miserable fight ever. Did they fix his dragon charge in Freedom?

Discounting Raging Brachydios because variants are treated as their own monster more often than not, Iceborne Brachydios is the second hardest he’s ever been.

Kelbi Deershot had terrible clear times.

>need Zorah materials to craft Namiele long sword
why

It was easy mode beyond brain dead though. In that sense, it was OP.

Of course they didn't. The slog is part of the fun (though I must admit, the PS2 games are extremely difficult to play nowadays). It's like the appeal of the Nier games or Dwarf Fortress; it's a janky, uncomfortable mess, but it's endearing. "Pure soul," as our newfriend peers might say.

Rajang's not the issue. Copper Blangonga and his stupid fucking tail is.

Endgame Warflare Demolisher with Spread boost and Adren+2 surpasses it and is pretty much the same thing.

So are we going to forget frenzied Brachydios existed or what? Get in line, Worldlet.

Consider yourself lucky. Any Namielle that braches off Kirin requires TEN AZURE KIRIN HORNS PER WEAPON.

best theme and fight, only thing is that I like brachydios weapons and armor more

Attached: 1569121287016.png (817x516, 26K)

At least now you can get more than 1 horn per hunt now. Not that it makes fighting Kirin any better.

Probably Nargacuga. It wasn't my first game but they've consistently made him a well balanced and well rounded fight with a good back and forth. A hell of a lot better than Iceborne's Tigrex, that's for sure. Hilariously, even though they share some similar moves Tigrex just has broken hitbox versions of them. I don't think I've ever seen a monster hunter game where two monsters have the same attack but one monster just has worse hitboxes than the other on the same move.

>>>Getting filtered by big blue in World
What are you on about? MH4U brachy was probably the most balanced Brachy has ever been. 3U and World's versions are just shit versions with shit hitboxes.

are you emulating without bumping up the rendering resolution?

That screenshot was taken in 2009.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I was concerned when I first fought Bazel and found out he was like Brachy but with seed bombs. But it turns out he's a VERY much better version. Actually has openings and doesn't have completely busted hitboxes.

The one thing I like about brachy in world is that he can actually slime other monsters now.

>Pierce finally has good choices for HBGs
>Zinogre railgun is a spreadgun that breaks the game in half because muh endgame weapon

I fucking hate the weapon balancing in this game. Why do half the weapons feel like their trees are unfinished? Why do the vast majority of the weapons fail to hit purple sharpness? Why is there no wide 6 gunlance? Why do Garuga weapons have high raw, affinity AND get a lv 3 slot when they were historically low raw high poison weapons? Why aren't Diablos weapons the highest raw in the game? Why is there 1 lbg and 1 hbg that's vastly superior to every other gun in their respective classes combined? Why does a weapon having poor performance correlate with getting IRON'D/BONE'D? Why did I feel like I was better off using a Kjarr weapon until the end of Master Rank?

Capcom could not have handled things more poorly.

I really like Valstrax and how he zooms through the sky.

>implying Brachy doesn't have openings
Are you fucking stupid?

So... I personally like Lagiacrus the most. But I'm here to ask. What the hell is the trick to Tigrex... other than waiting for him to get tired? Because if that's the only way to fight him then this will remain a shit fight. I've been farming him in the Guiding Lands to learn him better and I just can't seem to figure out good times to charge on him (GS). He was so good in previous games but in IB it just feels like he has hitboxes larger than the moon and tracks the shit out of you despite his massive AOE running and spinning. It's fucked up.

And keep in mind I literally sat for hours and learned Diablos in MR as fucked as he can be. If Diablos had the hitboxes that Tigrex has I don't think his fight would've been possible to learn properly. But with Diablos you can coax a dig, circle strafe to avoid the dig, then when he does an attack most of the time you can stand a little to the right and start charging and his attacks will whiff past you so you get the charge or otherwise you just adjust and go in for a smaller counter. But this remains consistent regardless of rage or otherwise.

Tigrex though? I mean I'd love to learn him on that level but it seems I always am forced to either dodge with high level evasion or superman dive at the end of every charge (which he spams A LOT). So what are you supposed to do? Serious question, not looking for git gud. I'm looking for strategy from other GS users. I don't use mantles either, btw. Shouldn't need to as they are crutches or just for trial and error speedrunners.

>hurr durr it's good because it's hard
literally the worst reason to like a monster

Spotted the filthy casual. He's only hard because he's unique.

Attached: gel.jpg (300x389, 17K)

Tigrex is the epitome of "hit and run". There's only one viable GS strategy with him because the fucker doesn't sit still. Get the Velkhana set, a thunder GS, build for crit and crit draw his ass, getting charges when he's down/exhausted.

Sure he does, but they hardly come out. He spends most of the fight being a spamdroid with super punches and running attacks. He's almost as bad as MR Uragaan. His openings are no where near as solid and consistent as Bazel.

>doesn't stand still
>one of the few monsters in Iceborne that still taunts
>STILL taunts if flashed

If anything, he's the only monster that sits still now.

I hope I can figure something else out. I have Velkhana builds but I hope there is something else, or maybe that they'll patch his arm hitboxes. Because that's pretty much how I play him now. I was hoping there was something better. I loved how often you could charge on him in 4U and Portable 3rd.

Are you sure that's consistent though? Many monsters will still taunt if flashed, but don't always do it. I mean I guess I can try that out.

That's doesn't address any arguments against his design though.

The only casual here it the person that uses japanese players as validation for his non-existing opinions

This is one of the hardest Brachydios we have ever had. 4U was the easiest, this ties with his original 3U self.

Silver Rath armor has a skill for that + true crit ele

Holy shit is this real? Is this really what his fight feels like?

In a game where you can easily gem in blast immunity? Not a chance.

I love gore because it's really cool and actually fuckin transforms. Shame it's such a chump and isn't actually hard to kill at all.

Even with blast immunity he's one of the hardest. His slime now acts like mud, meaning there are some you can't even take a chance on. He also has a long range attack that hit's from 900 miles away, and his punching attack turns his whole body into a hitbox. He's crazy now.

Blast is like the least bullshit thing about him.

What armors do you have equipped, fellow Hammerfriends?

Retard here, how do you add slinger ammo to that attack?

If blast was the least of your problems, then you wouldn't be getting hit by his attacks to begin with. You fuckin suck.

Aim the bow, click in the right stick and press triangle+circle

Bow

Dumb melee pleb here, I've been feeling the itch to try something else.

If I want to dive into HBGs, what's the first one I should aim for and is there any other shit I should know?

>getting caught in the big slime pools

Are you retarded?

Savage Jho LBG for minimum brain activity but maximum fun and team player points. Narga LBG for low to moderate brain activity but big damage.

Insect Glaive.

I just don't get it, and since you can mount monsters ezpz now with the crutch claw, it's invalidated. Bug stick fags get off my board.

Just fuckin make Garuga

Never used it but I think hitting airborne monsters and dodging bullshit with vaults is its deal now. Pretty useful stuff

Haven't unlocked him yet, and I'm assuming the other guy hasn't either ya fuckin simp so suck it.

That would be true, if the collective IQ of every IG main wasn't in the low double digits.

Well, glaive USED to have a mechanic where the buffs has additional effects(orange used to give earplugs prior to World), and then had a special effect depending on your bug(speed would give extra affinity, balance would give you effect extender). Capcom wants the weapon to be a spamfest like dual blades and switch axe, so remove all three.

Based French brainlets

Normally I'd disagree with you because I actually like using IG, but it's 100% true that whenever an IG user joins my hunt I expect them to play like complete retards and fuck everything up

But bazel is a shit fight if you are a gunner
he has no ways to close the gap

A lot of the coolest monsters aren’t at all difficult. I don’t mind it personally, not everything needs to be exceedingly hard for it to be good. Kinda like Namielle, most people so far seem to love it despite the fight being kinda easy for an ED just because it’s fun and looks cool.

If you're far enough into the game to get zinogre weapons pick up its LBG, it's the ultimate grug weapon
>Only use spread ammo 3
>Comes with wyvernheart
Become Rambo as monsters fall before you in less than 5 minutes

Zin weapons seem fucking strong across the board really. and LGB's seem to have become the new grug meta.

Oh I misread what you said because I'm a tunnel-visioned LBG chad. The only HBG I ever used was Jho, pre cluster nerf. I assume it's still great, but I think what you say is right. LBG just massively outclasses HBG in most situations (non TA autist speedruns)

Zinogres HBG is meant to be the best though for what it's worth. I think it's a spread based gun and it's all about blasting the fuck out of the enemy close up.

>pick up its LBG
I meant to say HBG, dammit

Attached: 850.jpg (645x729, 64K)

Great Jaggi. Punting that mother fucker after gearing up 30 hours later is so fucking satisfying.

It's cause fire rates combined with certain ammo types are completely 100% busted right now. It's as bad as ledging is for stuff like GS and Hammer with the difference being one is a terrain exploit and the other is just fucking wildly busted.

Factually incorrect. Pierce LBGs absolutely piss on Bazel and he can not hit you ever because he's a big lumbering retard who can't close distance quickly.

>Using insect glaive for mounting only

It's a big plus, but i like IE because of the bug and the mobility jumps give, dodge breath attacks and AoE attacks like Savaje deviljho or Namielle's water ground, close gaps with fast monesters, specially flying ones if you can make them flinch on air, they fall. The bug gimmick is fun, explosions deal good dmg and i grab a bludegeoing bug that has stunned a monster more than once.

For those that want to try IE, use Jump to dodge/mobility or to pop bug clouds that the insect made, ground combo deals more dmg and easy to infinity combo with Tringle Triangle and then Circle to walk fowards or move the joystick to the other direction you are facing to do a backflip to go back.

Only when hes not enraged. The problem with World Brachy is that for some reason they decided to have his puddles both be larger and last like twice as long. Not only that but you need to roll 5 fucking times for the slime status to go away. When its enraged all of that shit just explodes on impact so you don't have any area of denial puddles to worry about. Its probably the only monster that gets less annoying when its enraged.

Garuga since it is effectively the best two LBGs in the game combined. It has Narga's rapid Pierce 2 plus Jho's rapid Sticky 2. It's literally both guns combined, it's fucking bonkers. Just one of those LBGs is good enough to carry you as far as you want, but they made the baffling decision to fuse them together in to one.

Does slugger work with shots or is it KO bonus to melee only?

I have no idea. I've got a KO charm 3 equipped personally, but I have a feeling even if you didn't it wouldn't matter at all because rapid fire is too quick at stacking KO damage that in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't amount to more than 1 extra KO.

Could be a useful build for harder monsters I cba soloing but want to escort scrubs through with minimal effort.

The amount of shitters who get destroyed by Savage Jho is deplorable.

Gore because he had the most fun fights and best story.

No. Some nips went data diving and found hooks for weapon upgrades though that were either cut or are going to be DLC.

Nope, it’s essentially just Garuga’s Tempered form but with the unique gimmick of actually being drastically altered.

Narga is trash to fight. So fucking infuriating to fight.

They needed to replicate the true 1st/2nd gen Garuga experience.

With added machine gun breath attacks to boot.

Lagiacrus. Gore and narga are both contenders, because their fights are so fun, but lagi is just too cool.

Holy shit they need to give us a way to make the Steamworks faster. A few hunts in the Guiding Lands and you’ve got upwards of 10k fuel every time and it takes nearly a fucking hour to burn through it all. An option to burn 100 points at a time would be enough to make it bearable, they don’t have to do much they need to do something.

I'll always have a soft spot for gore, but if you don't think Valfalk (fuck you the localized name is actual garbage and completely unnecessary) is the tightest shit then get out of my face

in world you can carry 30 crafting materials to make sticky ammo compared to 20 crag 1 crafting materials in GU and 10 in 3U. also with the option to craft all available materials into max ammo at once and also being able to restock midquest at camps it makes it all the more easier to deal more KO

Your damage output is bonkers with artillery 5 and a wyrmstake in place. Something like 280 damage per charged shell with long 6.
I’ve been using a bunch of different weapons, and I bust out GL when I want to just unga bunga through something I don’t feel like dealing with.

because other than TA autists the main audience for this is normies and elementary schoolers

what how? i only get like 150 damage per charged shell on my long 6 GL with artillery 5

It's kind of funny that Iceborne has introduced, in a single game, almost as many variants as every mainline game before it. If you include scarred, which I don't, then iceborne matches the previous total of variants.

I gotta go with narg for ops pic. Unite Narg was Tigrex on steroids and Tigrex was already hard enough for me. Narga was so fast that I didn’t have time to take my weapon out in between leaping for my life.

In World, it's Kulu if you don't count A.Leshen, for Iceborne it's Nightshade, Seething and Coral, only fought those guys two or three times.

Not sure about the rest, but edgy odogaron's DB's are great for dunking on dragons. High natural white sharpness, high elderseal, and 20% affinity.

It's very niche to find that kind of setup, yes. Not as many guns have rapid fire as I would have liked.


You need to go back.

Nami is a pretty fun set for the stamina cooldown skills and the 4 piece bonus does cool shit like turn element 300 into element 450, or activate free status effects on your raw weapon. I've felt really satisfied making 4/5 just for daggers and mindless bow play.

Teostra weapons got fucked over so hard in 5th gen it's bordering on being unbelievable. Fuck this shit.

Absolutely, the LBG is killer.

Because Kushala was the one going around causing storms and hurricanes while Lunastra and Teostra were just kind of chilling in the Tower and Volcano. Dos was about the four elders though, leading into Yama Tsukami and White Fatalis at the tower.
Don't know how the X fags get called the Fated Four when the Dos Four were already a thing, tied into fate, and paved the way for White Fatalis to be found.

Fuck sake

Banbaro is essentially Jade Barroth

Tigrex was my wall for a while in Freedom Unite.

I actually never got super far in MH until World so World was my first time fighting Deviljho and the way he kept showing up during other hunts hyped him up for me too so special mention to him. Especially the time I was fighting a Dodogama and Jho shows up for the first time and just whacks it around the room like a chew toy.

>I fucking hate the weapon balancing in this game.
This is the thing for me as well sometimes. I wonder why there's so many weapons, when for instance lets say you have no reason to settle for farming for a Rarity 10 when the Rarity 11/12 is available/just around the corner, story wise. It leaves so many weapons unused or without a purpose.

Shagaru is still Gore

This desu. I really hope 6th gen makes some changes to weapons trees and balancing.

Banbaro kinda obsoletes him, they fill the same niche (ice element Brute Wyvern that attacks mainly with charges) but Banbaro gets more on top of that as well as being nomadic, letting him appear on more maps. They use subspecies as testing grounds for new monsters sometimes, be glad that Jade Barroth got to live on in some form as Banbaro rather than being discarded like so many other cool subspecies.

see I love gunlance a lot, but unless I play in a large group or against something slower, you just don't have enough time to abuse the awesome damage potential outside of traps, stuns, knock downs etc.

Because the game is not designed by Japanese people for Japanese players?

Lavisioth is the least hunted monster overall, and it is for me too. Boring fight that drops nothing useful.

He definitely moved around less than Barioth for me. I guess maybe because I got his tail off early though while I fought Barioth with a hammer.

>tfw earplugs master race

I haven't played all the weapons but I swear IG is the best for Crutch Claw because of how easily they can transition into it from a vault and how much freaking damage their Crutch Attack actually does.

Does the lower levels of earplugs even do anything against the big roars?

I find chances to combo come plentifully with good defensive counter poke play. Even small exhausts are a chance to combo or wyvern fire. I recommend running Meowlotov and tanking inside your Meowcano, it racks up crazy amounts of debuffs and decent damage. I run a full DPS beat stick set for easier guys and a super regen tank baby set for dudes who only have two modes, spastic attacking chains and dead.

These threads have been surprisingly clean for the past week. Did he just give up or something?

Icebourne gave World players pretty much everything they thought was missing aside from specific Muh Favorite Dragon and more weapon models.

There's just less console war faggotry in general.
Listfag doesn't really show up much and Bibiwafags aren't rampant as fuck whenever someone writes a piece of criticism. Much nicer threads.

because he resorted to just shitting up /mhg/ since he doesn't get banned/deleted there and a lot more people reply to shitposts

This is one of the main reasons I no longer play GL or GS with randos

Zamtrios.
It's a flagship in my heart.

I'm getting bored of guiding lands, MR 100 seems so fcuking far away. Why is it so boring?

I'm no datamining expert but typically wouldn't every weapon have a value potentially pointing to an upgrade even if the pointer was "null" on stuff that was at the end of the line? Doesn't mean that anything was cut neccesserily.
I could see them adding subspecies as DLC instead of just new monsters though, so that could fix the state of some weapons

Stop soloing it

Wouldn't you rank up faster killing elders and tempers in investigations? My MR sky-rockets when I get a bug up my ass to make a new weapon or armor set.

not him, but the grind between MR 50 to MR 70 is the worst part since barely any tempered spawns and most monsters only increase 20% of your bar. After MR 70 its all smooth sailing

Does he stagger easier on the head or something?
Also does he completely ignore meat or something? He never touched the ones I put down.

Speaking of meat are they actually useful against any other monsters? Does Tigrex still eat them?

I can never understand why in gods name Capcom did not hire more 3D weapon modelers for Iceborne. It's just not as fun to hunt a new monster anymore when I don't know whether or not it will even have a unique weapon or not. Banbaro for example has some really cool armor, but not a single one of his weapons, not a single fucking one, is unique. They are all generic boneshit.

You guys think tonfas or some fist weapons will be added in MH6

Yian Garuga and Plesioth

I don't use GS, but I main Hammer which is an equally slow weapon. Break his forelegs immediately, focus on nothing else. After, the fight becomes 100x more manageable as he'll slip around and leave you bigger openings. Unfortunately, the rest of his fight is literally about predicting his movements. He spams his stupid charge constantly, but if you learn the distance he travels and set up right where he stops, you can punish him big time. Same goes for his leaps, if you learn the tell you can dodge and then get in a few quick hits. I farmed the entire Tigrex set user and I'm a shitter. If I can do it, you can.

Not what I said at all. Nothing bigger than the Avian Wyverns like Velocidrome is anything close to "realistic" but Seregios actually looks and has attacks that make sense with it fitting into the Monster Hunter world's ecosystem. Other shit like Teostra and Glavenus are just high fantasy monsters with no grounding in plausibility at all.

When you go to load the wyrmstake blast (the one where you stuff all your slinger ammo in your GL) your shield is held right in front of you. If you get attacked during that, the attack is guarded and you have some cool options afterwards, the biggest one being going straight into the wyrmstake, if there's an opening after the attack you blocked. Guard points have been a Charge Blade exclusive thing for a while now, but GL got this one in the last Iceborne beta.

Lagi. It's my first and the only solo Leviathan flagship. You can fight it on land or underwater. That's cool.

WSB is a lot better than it may seem at first glance, especially if the monster isn't a complete Odoragon-tier sperglord and you place it in a good spot, getting like 2.5x damage on every shell attack is VERY good.

So yeah anything but Great Jagras then.

>Fight mr teostra
as opposed to, what, mrs teostra?

Name 1 (one) fight worse than MR Lunastra

Alright wise guy I can tell that you've never touched a GL or a Wyrmstake in your life. Why don't you actually try it out before you go shitting up the threads?

I’ve yet to fight Yian Garuga but is he finally fun now?

Umm...
Where's the Teostra GS???

As a hammer user this was terrible.

>Carpet bomber is easier than punch boner
How much of a shitter are you exactly

so just like the usual bullshit diablos from older games?

Monsters sperging out everywhere is pretty much the entirity of Iceborne, with maybe an exception or two. Regardless the new move is awful in general since it only fits a specific niche of GL gameplay.

play offline solo, i did 95% of all my hunts solo

Based, only Worldsperms like the ancient forest because they don't know better

>Grab a LBG
>Behemoth literally cannot hit me
Is this what Worldbabies think is the pinnacle of difficulty?

>a specific niche of GL gameplay.
The one where you actually use the weapon's full moveset?
If you were already dead set on only doing unga bunga slapstick this doesn't really change anything for you so I don't see the problem.

What mods do you typically use for Jho’s LBG?

I want to see an ED version of Garuga just to see what batshit insanity they could do with this chicken

not him and i havent got time to got far yet
but does iceborne bring anything close to the Sanctuary or Tower Summit?
I just want some smaller and flat area where I can go 1 vs 1 with the monster, fuck all that jumping and traps shit

LS is easy to get into, hard to master. Bow is turn-your-brain-off mode literally everyoen can eviscerate everything with after one minute of gameplay.

Unga bunga slapstick is stronger than shelling though. Wyrmblast sounds good on paper but requires retarded amount of setup and isnt worth it. Its disappointing because the new move is a nothingburger.

The fuck is with this story line? Beat that gross ass rock elder, figured that was the end, now I'm being sent after NiggerDante again. When is fucking Zinogre? How much more story do I have?

Ancient Forest is the worst map in World but fuck off if you think any map is worse than this shit

Is that >478944419 ryukishit shilling his shitty channel again? The vignette on the thumbnail makes it hard to tell. I'll just assume it is then.

>does iceborne bring anything close to the Sanctuary or Tower Summit?
No, the only thing that's comparable is the small area where you first find Ruiner but it's never used again

Attached: 7e89cd0eaa5e60ba6f48f642926a3b12.jpg (460x535, 51K)

Yes

Can't be worse than Forest and Hills.

This is post game, Zinogre is coming

I thought volcanic hollow was pretty ok
I guess i just like the aesthetic of it, like you keep doing down and down, and it is keep getting hotter to the core

Using a weapons full moveset doesnt mean its good, because all weapons have a terrible move or two.

Farming Black Belt coins was brustal, but it was worth it for the best team carrying armor and the most stylish armor.

Wouldn't be so bad if 90% of the monsters you fight there didn't spawn in Zone 8 and also become complete shitshows thanks to the steep slope in Zone 8, when they didn't even bother updating old monsters to work even a little on uneven terrain

If you fucking played just five fucking minutes longer you wouldn't make that dumb fucking post of yours.

>mfw been seeing my younger brother played with his friends, they are pretty much all new to the series except my brother
>told him to call me to watch when they try to fight rajang for the first time
It gonna be a swell time for those kids

When the fuck were Brachydios and Seregios flagships?

In the Ultimate games, duh.

Oh yeah I totally agree with that part, fucking hell fighting some of them in XX was the worst

2011 and 2014

The more digging the better. Carry sonic pods.
Too bad screamer sacs are a pain to farm.

user I...
I'm like you. All this time I have been looking forward to seeing the beautiful Teostra GS in Iceborne. But we were betrayed...

AF is worse than Volcanic Hollow.

are those meldable? it has been a while since i play so i can't remember it well, however i remember there was one item you should have been able to meld but cant, probably was screamer sac

Fuck off grandpa

Namielle 2 piece set bonus gives like...60 element right? Is that even worth it when you can just use 2 jewels in the respective element?

MONSTER HUNTER : BIGGER WORLD : FIREBORNE EXPANSION

Mh3u has azure rathalos and 4u has gore magala

depend on the weapon and how much element it already had

>Fire Teostra as flagship
>Final boss is Azura

I will just dab on that piece of shit with G rank gear.

Somehow I have 4 for Lunastra, I only ever remember killing her twice.

Oh baby

Gore is the flagship of 4, Seregios is the flagship of 4U

Great Jaggi unironically had me on the ropes.

The first game I beat was P3rd so I'm always in favor of jinouga.

Attached: Jinouga.jpg (1095x523, 638K)

Which gun has rapid fire sticky ammo? I don't know where it shows that information in the shop.

G-rank version? yeah

Garuga and Jho.

thanks

Jinoga was a beast. I wonder how they changed his AI from p3rd to the haves after though.

Man I wish i didnt have to have a job and go to classes so I could be MR100+ like the cool kids. I saw some faggot online the other day at MR200+

Agreed

How do I get special tracks? I never saw a sign of turf war after the very first one and all the monsters I can lure are shitters

It's weird, I got used to all the localized names for P3 monsters pretty quick but I still catch myself saying rangurotora instead of volvidon

Just beat SEETHING bazel
Whats a good hammer?
They all seem kinda shitty.

Fatalis in freedom or chameleos in 2g

Running into an invisible wall only to discover it's a monster is scary

Acidic Glavenus

I believe so. I get most of mine from the Argosy though

You can meld screamer pods, but not screamer sacs, so it's tough to craft more on a hunt without actually going back to camp

Hey pard! use the capture net on Zinogre's back when he's knocked out during his fulger phase. It'll get you fulgerbugs and reduce his charge

>Finishing a batte with Helmbreaker to the head

Satisfying

The answer is unanimously Hunting Horn

>but requires retarded amount of setup and isnt worth it
It lasts quite a while depending on the ammo used and there's literally no reason not to use it if you have an opening to slap it on a monster's face, such as during the "please clutch claw me" flinch

>diablos tree

Nah.

You can slap a stake instead and be better off

>Valphalk
Awesome, cool, nice
>Valstrax
Uhhhh, yikes

Stakes set off the Wyvernblast bomb a fuckton of times

Valphalk, more like Valphallus

Not worth the setup, when you couldve literally kept slapping its shit in with swings and done more by then. You need full reload to get a stake after using wyrmblast

low rank, it was my first MH game. I didn't cart but it taught me not to fuck around.

Why did the localized version of 3U had Azure rathalos in the cover instead of Brachy?

Better than glaive anus, that’s for sure

Because burgers have shit taste

>Stakes set off the Wyvernblast bomb a fuckton of times
Only the final explosion does it.

Is there any viable situation where sharas set bonus would help? its looks great but mantles? im not sure. whos this set even for?

Because brachydios has a penis leaking green precum on his forehead. His design is only eclipsed in stupidity by some of the shit to come out of frontier.

Run around aimlessly until you find them. I can't be the only one who thinks they are really difficult to see because the blue lights on the ground aren't enough? They are easy to miss.

for people to turn their brain off when helping HR/LR

Did a fully charged jump slash into Glavs tail on his roundabout, staggered him and then the subsequent wide slash clobbered his glassjaw shit backwards. I felt like a king for all of 25 seconds. If it had been later in the fight It would have made for a great screen.

I like to use the elemental mantles. Shara's set is helpful for those

when do you unlock tigrex in the arena? im at 65 mr

have to capture a monster for it to appear in the arena

Shagaru, its the only monster in XX where I was fighting for my life rather than just to kill it. Couldnt handle the sheer aggression of it.
