Speaking of Rath builds, gonna use my first complete one to hunt Tempered Lagi, anyone want in?
wanton scroll
Is it just us or is the LR-HR gap much wider in Rise than World?
Also is that a fucking LR Tigrex at the Village quests?!
wanton scroll
is it just us or is the back hitboxes for Rise really hard to get?
sorry for asking so many questions
void narwhal
There's a drop from breaking Goss Harag back that I maybe got one of over the full course of that game
But I'm not sure if it's across the board
candid perch
Is it just us or is the LR-HR gap much wider in Rise than World?
What do you mean by that? (And yes it is)
wanton scroll
Like the spike
World eases you in through simple stuff like Pukei Pukei having more HP before teaching you that you need blue sharpness with Pink Rathian
candid perch
Oh, I mean
I think it's just that Rise LR is really short (if you take the fast track)
candid perch
That only happens if you're playing multiplayer, it scales with the amount of players.
But the hub monsters are still harder than village quest ones
Not by a lot though, but it's still noticeable at first
snow helm
In general MHR I feel just wants you to get into High Rank as quickly as possible, and then into MR as well
candid perch
I just remember seeing a lot of scary monsters in LR (I went and did every single LR quest)
But you don't really see them if you don't do that
snow helm
Likewise, and I decided I needed to grind the full LR Almudron set before starting HR, which was remarkably painful
But you can really just swing straight into High Rank if you want to, for good and ill
candid perch
Hahaha
I got really lucky with my LR set if I remember right and got what I wanted to farm elders way faster than I expected to
...and then Sunbreak dropped and I went "whelp, guess I'll go to MR instead"
wanton scroll
Now that I have Attack Boost 3 I feel better equipped
candid perch
...which went okay, I guess
||The crab still beat my ass||
snow helm
Almudron is a monster I both love and loathe, though I would genuinely like to see him make an appearance in a console release
candid perch
Goss is my pick from base Rise
snow helm
...which went okay, I guess
||The crab still beat my ass||
My first real wall in Rise's Master Rank was Seregios, so naturally I immediately fell in love
snow helm
Goss is my pick from base Rise
Oh definitely, he feels like he could be one of those monsters brought up in tier over time
Like Rajang actually was
wanton scroll
Almudron's too busy doing Kanji magic or whatever
snow helm
Almudron's too busy doing Kanji magic or whatever
And he's got that mecha armor with giant crab claws for some reason
candid perch
My first real wall in Rise's Master Rank was Seregios, so naturally I immediatel...
||I didn't have any difficulty after the crab until I hit Malzeno I think. That was my first full wipe when I started bringing my friends along for the ride||
candid perch
And he's got that mecha armor with giant crab claws for some reason
And it is so cool
wanton scroll
Goss is my pick from base Rise
Tetranadon, Aknosom, and Sommacath are our picks
wanton scroll
And he's got that mecha armor with giant crab claws for some reason
Mecha Okami
snow helm
If Goss is going to come back in a mainline game he needs to be sized up hugely, I think
He's less than half the size of Dosh
Which goes to show the scale creep in Wilds
Though Goss also seems to be significantly smarter, so there is that I suppose
candid perch
Mm
Izuchi or Bishaten are good too
I actually really like how Bishaten fights
Funny stance monkey
wanton scroll
Bishaten's a good fight cause it is the filter for weakpoint striking
Izuchi feels like a scaled down Glavenus for LR stuff
With the tail blade and all that
Like a combination of the Male Alpha monsters and Glavenus
Not a bad fight
just okay
candid perch
It fulfills its purpose
snow helm
I think it's one of my favourite early game Alpha's just on design, but yeah it's not really remarkable
Ironically I think that Rakna Kadaki is probably among the most likely Rise monsters to return in the Wilds expansion
Just because we already have the spider skeleton all rigged
Violet Mizu too
Which is unironically the best "another fire subspecies" of all of them
candid perch
I will be unsurprised if we get the same roster of subspecies we had in Sunbreak for the monsters in wilds
Lagiacrus subspecies tho..
elder tusk
Ivory and Abyssal both already have enough character between the two of them as subspecies, but it would be neat to see a new one
And they're absolutely going to celebrate Lagi a little further
tardy grotto
Ivory and Abyssal both already have enough character between the two of them as ...
Hmmmm
Volcanic Lagi
elder tusk
I could see them doing Ivory but it's even more agile
the problem with adapting Lagi at all is that it's already so specialized anatomically, and you can't really do much else with it that isn't "it makes electricity" without it feeling egregious and forced
and I really hope they don't do "lol its electricity is dragon element now"
tardy grotto
What do Ivory and Abyssal do?
elder tusk
Ivory was literally created to be "Lagi but it exclusively fights on land", it's a bit more competent terrestrially and has some more directed electric attacks, as well as some area denial
Abyssal is "what if we made Lagi's underwater fight as cool as possible and then had you fight it in the arena we made for the underwater elder dragon"
tardy grotto
Oooh, ok
Actually, I had an idea
Arctic Lagi
Both ice and fire attacks, as well as electric
elder tusk
iirc Abyssal can make whirlpools?
It's been a long time
I could see like. Electrothermal Lagi
tardy grotto
Ye
elder tusk
That could fuck potentially, especially if it learns how to discharge to break ice and make blasts of steam
tardy grotto
I was thinking Arctic thermal vents
elder tusk
It's already a walking power plant, it could probably adapt to use its electricity for heating
though it would really benefit from a frozen ocean map in that case
fun counterpart to Zamtrios in a theoretical game
tardy grotto
Like, I love Jin Dahaad, for how it's an ice monster
elder tusk
I really do wonder if we're going to get something like Overheating Jin
tardy grotto
Probably
elder tusk
I also really just kinda wanna see Clean Nu Udra because its underlying coloration is beautiful and they don't make it anywhere near visible enough
elder tusk
If they'd kept Slime we would 100% see a Slime Anjanath
tardy grotto
Slime?
elder tusk
Blast used to be called Slime when it was unique to Brachydios
tardy grotto
(I am a PC player)
snow helm
and I really hope they don't do "lol its electricity is dragon element now"
Honestly the only version of this I want to see is Rey Dau
Though, actually, I could also see Blast Rey Dau that's basically Combustion Man from Avatar
tardy grotto
Though, actually, I could also see Blast Rey Dau that's basically Combustion Man...
I'd like a physical damage Rey Dau
Literal railgun
elder tusk
Rey Dau that actually shoots fulgurite slugs at you
tardy grotto
Mhm
snow helm
Thinking about it, I think my choices for alternate element subspecies for the Inclement 4 would be;
Magnetic Rey Dau (Physical, Moved to Iceshard),
Polluted Uth Duna (Poison (and maybe also Fire in an enraged mode?), Moved to Oilwell),
Saturated Nu Udra (Dragon, moved to the Ruins of Wyvern (the oil is replaced with Wylk))
Unstable Jin Dahaad (Blast, moved to a new arena somewhere?)
wanton scroll
Stories 3 showed off a Water Rey Dau
full sage
type shifted monsters was a mechanic in stories 1 that was sadly dropped in stories 2
snow helm
Yeah the type shifted monsters in Stories aren't really actual subspecies or variants, at least they don't normally get counted among them and don't show up in mainline games
near bane
anyone down to play some wilds ?
elder tusk
It's so funny that they turned "change its colors and give it a different element" into a procedural mechanic in Stories, and I love it
full sage
it's significantly more interesting as a mechanic you have access to as a player
wanton scroll
So that's three out of six key quests for HR6
and 3/5 pieces of Rathalos armor
Also grabbed the Origami Axe II and The Ore Tree 2 Swaxe
Still need that Medulla
Might as well swap back to the dive skill on LS so I can hit the back easier
elder tusk
origami axe <3
wanton scroll
One of the highest sharpness weapons we have access to
calm hearth
maybe I'm just spoiled by World + Wilds, but god the material grind for decos in Rise seems hellish
not looking forward to needing an almudron plate for each of my crit boost decos
hollow comet
yeahh that stopped me for a bit, i was running wex 2 and no crit boost after i changed my pieces up
i'm currently in the middle of trying to make a lance build and i have no guard decos π©
teal halo
just learned some things
one. the enderbreaker does more damage than iceborne fatalis (singleplayer)
two. taking into account the elderbreaker and the big rocks, gogmazios has as much health as a zenith monster from frontier.
elder tusk
it's so funny to me that Wilds powercreep means that Gogmazios has like 3x the numerical health pool of Fucking Fatalis

Almudron is kinda cool on second thought
the caveat being at HR
LR is painful cause you bounce all the time off the tail

Almudron sucks ass to hit with some weapons
Amatsu is by far the worst for that though, loathsome wretch

Current top ten for us:

- Goss Harag
- Mizutsune
- Legiana/Shrieking Legiana
- Bairoth
- Glavenus
- Raka-Kadaki
- Pukei Pukei/Coral Pukei Pukei
- Nergigante
I'd put Almudron at 11 tbh

Namielle is kind of diabolically easy frustratingly
I think they didn't want to commit to the water hazards/making player movement difficult
So she mostly just splashes around while getting wailed on, and her water armor falls off really quickly
I have seen people struggle significantly more with Kirin in World, which is really sad. Worse yet, you unlock the Namielle and Blackveil hunts at the same time, so you have the relatively quick and light Nami fight being totally absorbed in people's memories by the grueling slog of the Fungus

The new Arkveld armor looks so dope
y'know i should maybe consider grouping up with some of y'all cause im sure you have more game knowledge than I do, I could really use a mentor for late-game stuff. Mostly I've just been slaughtering monsters to get layered armors unlocked but I've beat Gogma and I still don't know what Affinity does or why one would invest into it...
tardy grotto
y'know i should maybe consider grouping up with some of y'all cause im sure you ...
Affinity is crit chance
elder tusk
yeah affinity is just direct statistical crit chance per hit
it's a bit confusing because it's typically listed directly next to sharpness, and it often correlates with a weapon's sharpness characteristics
sharpness itself is just an invisible damage multiplier as well as the primary means to pass a monster's hitzone hardness thresholds

Because that list may not show upgrades

Yeah, even without the negation Kushala is still weak to poison so it makes sense

Try out the Conqueress/Generals Strongaxe too
Exhaust Phial Swaxe's are a lot of fun in Rise
Though I know Crescent is probably better overall, for straight up damage and sharpness
balmy swan
i haven't played around too much with exhaust phials, but i imagine they're good if you have trouble finding openings for your big damage combos. wear the monster out and then go ham on them
power phial is generally the "best" for swaxe, but it's always worth remembering that the meta is shaped by speedrunning and tends to favor pure DPS

that should get us to the end of HR
Between Night's Crescent, Rath Flamesplitter III, Dragonmaiden Axe II, Upsurper's Cloudburst, and Daora's Farasa I; we should be covered on all fronts

power phial is generally the "best" for swaxe, but it's always worth remembering...
In post-Sunbreak MHR the Elemental Phials are actually more or less better overall than Power for speed running, if I remember correctly, the big downside is just that you need to make a ton of different SWAXEs for each possible elemental weakness.

the way to play faster with cb is mostly just to guard point
other than that it is a bit methodical

what are y'all's hopes for G-Rank? mine's default anjanath
elder tusk
I made a whole wishlist back when those were going around, but I may revise it
Found it
My single biggest hope is Seltas Queen
Agnaktor second
Great Jaggi would mostly just make me happy, but I really think the game would benefit from even just having its own original pack raptor
this is 100% the game for them to execute "monster with a bunch of smaller monsters who all attack you as a pack in a coordinated effort"
I'd also prefer a new original Carapaceon instead of yet another returner or a variation thereof, but the Taurs would be great

or as a new subspecies
amber frost
i desperately wanna see my favourite elder return
mister serpent king dragon itself, dalamadur
naive elk
saaame
elder tusk
Dalamadur is a really interesting proposition
It would be an incredible thing for the game to end on, but a lot of people are expecting White Fatalis as the development capstone
it would also be. expensive.
elder tusk
Honestly same
I also think it would be a WAY better advertising opportunity in general just by sheer spectacle and technical achievement
imagine if they made Dalamadur the new largest enemy in any game
naive elk
give me Dalamadur scaled to the skeletons in World
hollow comet
idk if i want more huge guys π
elder tusk
it's been a common theory that the Dalamadurs we fought in 4U were just juveniles π
the thing with enormous monsters is that they've regularly implemented them in kind of uninspired ways, but I think Dalamadur is the best they've done with the spectacle setpiece
Jhen Mohran is probably the best they've done with the overall loop and staging of the fight though
amber frost
I don't mind if dala is more spectacle than loop again, personally
it's just a fun thought since i've noted wilds does a lot to make the big monster fights feel very cinematic
Jin dahaad, zoh shia, and gog being very good examples

snow helm
i honestly forgot gog has an armour set, all people talk about is the weapons
I feel like Gog's armor sets have never stood out quite as much as his weapons, relatively speaking. The weapons are some of the most unique and striking designs of any in the MH series, the armor is comparatively similar to other spooky monster sets with a pointy sinister aesthetic made of monster scale and skin
In Wilds in particular, you already have Nu Udra in particular doing a very similar thing aesthetically but potentially more uniquely
hollow comet
mm i see
balmy swan
Gog's armor set in Wilds is mostly notable for giving you an alternate choice for a number of existing armor set skills
e.g. i use the chest (i think?) instead of a Rath armor piece in order to get the Rath 4 bonus because i like the skills on it better

World has good vibes and feels great to play, but clutch claw and not amazing endgame variety (other than going into guiding lands and taking whatever's there (which isn't always great for challenge/MRP)) is a bit of a bummer
Rise always has variety if you just follow Anomaly along with it being a little carrot to chase, and there's so many different playstyles even within weapons :D I've just become a little overwhelemed when trying to make a meta set from scratch for a new weapon, but I can take it a bit slower first and just work on 1 bit at a time.. it's also a bit annoying going back to HR to make some decos, but I suppose I can deal
