Arkveld is the best fight in game and it's not even close lmao
Peak fight design, even in his AT version
icy stump
ATs feel really hit or miss for me
wide oyster
idk what Uth Duna's AT even does
to this day
besides the waves
Nu Udra was so close to being great
if not for the adaptability check
Rey is cool
icy stump
AT ark is peak
Nu udra is odd, with adaptability to negate heat dot it's great
wide oyster
Jin gets a few new attacks but is mostly the same
AT Ark is amazing
I think Nu is such a good fight
they definitely fumbled the AT though
icy stump
Rey is cool
Hot take AT rey sucks compared to normal rey
I hate when the harder version of the fight is "take aggressive monster and add delayed aoe to its melee hits"
icy stump
That and his diet espicynas directly down nuke is lame
wide oyster
you can't tackle stuff
on him
playing swaxe made that fight infinitely more fun for me
icy stump
I ain't even tackling, I go to offset and I get zapped 
wide oyster
the thing that bothers me about AT Rey is his mini lasers
the hitbox on them is gigantic
for some reason
icy stump
AT Jin dahaad I think is like nu udra with the bind resist
icy stump
the hitbox on them is gigantic
REAL
icy stump
I got double frozen somehow vs Jin and that comboed me and I'm still pissed about it
wide oyster
I think I'm safe
and get hit anyways
ngl I did at Jin like
once
only one of his pieces is any good
icy stump
Bruh the Jin fullset looks really good tho
Like I know mix is meta
But maxed agitator and foray and some other stuff is hard to argue with
Damn shame binding counter is so fickle
wide oyster
Bruh the Jin fullset looks really good tho
layered armor is your friend
icy stump
Nah I mean like the actual armor set looks good like skill wise
wide oyster
ah
yeah the set bonus really holds it back
lords soul is great
but you only need 3 AT parts for that
icy stump
Honestly if it worked on normal blights too like coalescence that'd be awesom
Or on offsets
Or perfect guards
wide oyster
especially since you can get half of the set bonus on your gs
icy stump
Gotta transcend my guardian doshaguma set
wide oyster
guardian fulgur helm is so broken with transcendence
icy stump
Heroics is BACK on the menu
wide oyster
would recommend
back in TU0 Guardian Fulgur was meta
for GS
extra stamina for max might + agitator
it's still pretty good for that today
icy stump
Maybe I'll go and try and level the rath set some more
wide oyster
it was like 2p fulgur 2p gore 1p ark
icy stump
I wish we got some non area apex ATs
Like rathalos and lagi and Steve or smth
Can't wait for the MR update to reclassify shagaru magala as a AT gore
Jokes aside that could actually be kinda hype if it turned into shaggy mid fight
night ledge
Have you seen the ls clear for it?
wide oyster
not yet
icy stump
AT Zoh just becomes Fatalis
Fatty in HR would go crazy lmao
Wouldn't be the first time mainline team did it
Hiding a crimson fatalis quest behind a egg delivery side quest line is indeed peak cinema lol
I miss when the games had funny sidequest progression lines like that
Literally the jrpg thing
-deliver bird eggs
-deliver herbivore eggs
-deliver wyvern eggs
-deliver frenzied wyvern eggs
-deliver frenzied wyvern eggs but they're two wyverns now
-KILL THE DEVIL DRAGON
Also it's a shame we haven't seen rusted kush in a while
The idea of high raw+high sharpness weapons that have DOG SHIT affinity is a fun one, especially if we gettem in a game that has a negative affinity letting you super Crit skill
icy stump
Rise is back i see
It's a damn shame challenge sheathe only existed before LS got its sheathe based attacks
Unlimited sharpness LS would be hilarious

icy stump
Rei, Jin and technically Uth
Ok there's a way to do it that isn't ass tho
analog osprey
Uth I think is fine with it imo
He only has it on 2-3 of his moves and they are able to be easily dodged
icy stump
Adding a aoe to the attack? That's basically just giving it old MH hit boxes that's fine
Adding a aoe that's delayed just enough to punish your counterplay sucks
But a SUPER delayed aoe is fine cause it encourages you to think on your feet (see brachy/gog)
analog osprey
Plus base version already has it so it's whatever
icy stump
It's a reverse bell curve
icy stump
He only has it on 2-3 of his moves and they are able to be easily dodged
The waves?
icy stump
My problem with the waves is I can never tell if I'm just gonna get pushed (oh no the horror) or if I'm gonna eat shit on it and it actually does damage for some reason
analog osprey
It has effective range like the guns and bow
The more outward of the wave you are and the further away you get hit, the weaker the wave will be
icy stump
Yeah the problem there is like how TF am I supposed to know exactly when it stops being a hitbox ?
analog osprey
Yeah the problem there is like how TF am I supposed to know exactly when it stop...
Get good
I'm joking

It's just inconsistent which honestly goes for a lot in this game

The good thing about Uth is
You can easily get rid of his aoe

Does the water mobility skill negate the DMG?
icy stump
Lmao
analog osprey
Does the water mobility skill negate the DMG?
No I think it doesn't
It only negates you moving slower through water and mud
Which is practically useless lmao
Actually I guess it does have some niche use cases
Like with Gog

Bit of context for that-

They didn't do Jack shit aside of carting 5 fucking times
That's literally it
heady goblet

Its a petty reason
But it aggravated me
So whenever I see that scarf I think back to those two LS hunters
Now that I'm reading it myself it sounds really immature

And with that I'll go back on my year old rant on why lance does not have an offset

I did not enjoy most of Icebornes fights
Mainly because they relied a lot on making weak spots using the clutch claw

Capcom spotlight on the fifth
Who wants to bet on G rank expansion news?
Prolly won't see like a lot of it but I imagine we'll get the main teaser for it and a possible title drop
Maybe a flagship
I have a feeling the expansion is either gonna be water themed with a new beach/ocean map, or it's gonna be underground/guardian themed
sharp cedar
Who wants to bet on G rank expansion news?
maybe
its still pretty early but id imagine they want to keep info pumping out to keep people interested
icy stump
Either have decent supporting arguments for why they'd happen. Lagis final phase forcing you into a water fight does kinda feel like Capcom testing the water (heh) for the idea to return full stop (notably by using the clutch claw to maneuver around better, although I personally hope they stay away from the claw in general for the expansion, clutch claw is the last thing I wanna see in it)
Then again the guardian storyline I could see being the focal point of the dlc, considering the games innate plot does leave some questions up in the air about the guardians/wyveria/the dragon torch. (Namely it's weird how they mention the dragon torch is kind of alive post us murdering gore and go nowhere with that, and the fact that seemingly zoh is just gonna perpetually regenerate himself and it's kinda weird how the guardian monsters keep getting started out, even after wyveria went the way of the dodo)
That or we get the frenzy plot but again but widespread lmao, kinda weird how frenzy was only in the ice area
As for other predictions
I have a feeling weapon and armor skills are gonna be more interchangeable in MR, I could see lvl 4decos being randomly generated with 2 levels in a armor skill and up to two levels in a weapon skill, and make it so they're equippable to either
That and I feel like attack boost and Crit eye are going to go up to level 7 max instead of the current 5
sharp cedar
Either have decent supporting arguments for why they'd happen. Lagis final phase...

thats the gimmick everyone

@wide oyster is it critical boost or critical eye to get
icy stump
like the hunter transforms and powers up becoming enhanced and gaining new moves...
Honestly if we get that I don't wanna hear a peep out of anyone saying the portable team games are too anime ever again lmao
As for mechanically it entirely comes down to how they handle it
If it's valor style 2.0 (portable team had you beaten to the punch on that idea lmao) id be all for that cause valor mode imo was the perfect way to balance a juiced up moveset
If it's like tied to some other mechanic then idk id have to try it out to get a feel for if it's good or not
Prolly the worst thing they could do is tie it to a item with a dedicated cool down cause I feel like that would lead to a "I'm not using this until I get a good opportunity" so you end up barely using it or getting mad at it being on cooldown
Because your fun moveset is tied to a timer (hence why I dislike the evasion mantle in wilds, it's saddening cause I barely get to use it, but it's so fun cause you basically get diet adept style, really wish it was like a set bonus or something instead)
Then there's the normal "build bar to use for super" which works but depending on how they tune the meter build on it it's either gonna be a pain to build or really easy to build and that balance is rough
Valor uses an idea like that but fine tuned to basically the ideal version of that
Where in your ability to fill the bar to power up is entirely predicated on how good you are at your weapon, and that bar doubles as your timer, and if you screw around in the mode you lose it pretty quickly, but if you stay pressed in you can maintain it super effectively
That combined with valor effectively enhancing your moveset to be able to do something it normally can't do (GSs dash swing, old ls getting a parry lmao, and HBG getting a weapon out run) really lets it pop off

I was debating on the new dlc locale cause there's a Capcom spotlight on the fifth

Do dragon phials proc the wylk crystals to explode?

Yeah but also there's dragon ones in the arena
That do the same thing
That'd be neat if elem CBS could proc those

Thats what I mean they both do it so I would assume its either every elemental phial does it or none at all

zoh shia was ok
i think after grinding a lot of the other monsters, zoh shia isn't that bad
icy stump
Zoh shia is fine until he just randomly does enough damage to one shot you
Probably the most comfy 10* grind cause guts tenacity exists, you can eat for moxie, and use your cat revive solo
If you're lucky you'll end up playing with someone who runs one of those HHs with one of those one time big DMG reduction songs
sharp cedar
I mean yeah, reminds me of shara ishvalda in a lot of ways
icy stump
He's designed like an older MH final boss, where it's slow and kinda easy to deal with moveset wise, but if you get hit it HURTS
Honestly I feel like that moveset gels way better with the "crank the damage and hp" difficulty scaling than most of the arc tempereds, cause for most of them it just kinda feels like they keep ripping off kill shots back to back with no delay while zoh feels like he gives you more time to react
Mainly cause I feel like it's mostly the elemental damage that gets cranked for all of em
Kinda sucks getting damn near one shot even when I have positive elemental resistance
analog osprey
Zoh shia is fine until he just randomly does enough damage to one shot you
Prob...
What do you even get out of 10* Zoh?
Anything special
Or just the usual RNG
icy stump
Talismans, some high tier relic things
For artisans
Also ngl I wish artisans had more drastic alterations via reinforcement bonuses
Like if we got something that bumped your sharpness tier down a grade (white becomes blue>blue becomes green etc) for a big buff to a certain stat (sharpness length/raw/elem/affinity) that'd be super neat
Or something that like knocked your stats down but you get a weapon skill on the weapon would be cool
Fucken go the whole 9 yards and lemme customize my weapon
Maybe MR
I say this because I'm pissed that this is the second game in a row where we get super buffed minds eye (guaranteed no bounce and a THIRTY PERCENT DAMAGE INCREASE WHEN HITTING A HARD BODY PART) With bludgeoneer(10% on using a green weapon) but we don't get a weapon with innate green to fully utilize it, or a good enough stat line to fully utilize it
Worst part is the guardian dogashuma stuff is SO CLOSE but it has just enough blue to make getting it online annoying
I mean maybe you could use it on a non GS weapon cause GS is slow and chunking it's sharpness down isn't fast but like COME ON!
icy stump
Low-key imma just crash out and run the fuckass full bale set fuck it
Become shadow the edgehog
Heroics 5 lets go
Fucken prolly the best heroics set in the series cause you drain your own HP, shoot Lazer beams, have resentment for moar powah, and also since you do so much self damage you basically are always gonna have latent power online
Just don't get hit lmao
Like Latent power takes 130 ish damage to proc
Your hp bar is 150, and shadowbringer takes 10% per lv2+
Not even 10 swings self procs latent
Wait my b
Shadowbringer takes about a 1/8th of your HP
So it'll trigger faster actually lmao
Literally the only conceivable way that set could get better is if dragon heart was in this game and you could stack that with resuscitate
Oh wait my bad you can't
CAUSE ITS A SET BONUS IN THIS GAME
Im all for set bonuses and shit
But why you gotta make shit like diversion or resuscitate (previously normal ass skills) set bonuses??
Then again this games skill economy is so borked it kinda makes sense why they did that
Which is to say, they lost the plot so it makes sense they'd do something stupid like that

He gets a lot more spammy close to death
Like I'm talking double ground aoe flamethrowers back to back and such
Also idk if normal does this but he has moves that combo for some reason
Like he'll do wide crystal explosions, into ground flamethrower,and if the ground flamethrower hits you it combos into the crystals explosion which is basically a guaranteed instant kill
Because fuck being able to trade with the monster ig
Kinda sucks for me cause that means you can't tackle the wide explosion and then go for a big hit after
I hate how this game has a lot more attacks that don't actually knock you down
Having moves that can combo because you would expect to have some invincibility so you don't do anything is annoying
Especially in cases like zoh there where it's a dead ass true combo and it can ik you through guts

GS duels boutta be a DS fight lmao
Jokes on that asshole, now I get to be the annoying PoS moving out of the way of a fully charged move at the last second lmao
I doubt they'd go the whole nine yards and make a fully guardian human, but I could see them doing a crystal construct of a human similar to white form zoh
Where it's got human proportions but bigger to be a more fightable moveset
That or they go full invasion of the body snatchers with it
Introduce new NPCs who are guardian humans with partial monster genetics
Have the final boss be zoh shia again, but this time its reconstituting itself with the new genetic human data so it fights like we do in phase 1, phase 2 is a extrapolation of that idea but with the black form, phase 3 it reverts to its full big dragon form but with new moves resembling it's humanoid moves, and it looses that kind of jittery-ness normal zoh has after it (presumably) got a cursory understanding of what it's like to be alive
Honestly I feel like a wyveria underground expansion would be the best idea because it could lead to cool narrative shit
The idea of the dragon torch being alive and trying to adapt to humans interacting with it way more aggressively is a cool idea
(as was kind of implied in the HR story after fighting gore)
Dead ass it's a shame wilds story was aggressively mid until like the last bit of LR, then after that they basically drop it for normal monster hunter isms from there on

Sub 5 9* Arkveld
Tbf it was basically an optimal run
icy stump
Damn my ass takes like 10 minutes at best playing optimally on GS
Then again that's prolly a skill issue or build issue
Just trying for that Crit boost 2, EW or EE 2 talisman basically
Prolly cause I'm running latent power/WeX as my Crit skills
Ironically latent power works worse if you're playing good cause you need to take DMG to proc it early
Vs arkveld I don't get hit often so my big damage buff doesn't come online until 2 minutes in
Kinda gotta take it tho cause I want that bale bonus and that's the Crit skills on that set
I forget if I have any agitator on the build
I know it's arc-veld head/arms, bale chest and I think legs for latent power, iirc I have gamma Jin waist for agitator too?
Then shatterseal GS
Speaking of I fought savage omegabruh painindeeznuts yesterday as a face tank GS cause we had 3 support players (2 SnS, HH) so y'know, I figured I'd take one for the team and tank
That mother fucker ate through all my white sharpness cause I had to block that much
I don't think words can describe how much I hate Omega conceptually
Mrv missiles suck and whoever thought that putting them in the game as a volley of 6 missiles back to back targeting each player simultaneously, that you can't lay down through once you get hit (because it puts you in the bastard semi knockdown state that doesn't actually give you invinciblity), that has a big enough explosive AoE where you can't even roll away from it with EE 3 in time after getting hit, AND That it does a sizeable chunk of damage at the same time needs to stop making MH games cause that shits just fucked up
That and a HP reducing fireball with annoyingly good tracking that hits through block, and you can't get rid of it except by waiting it out AND you can't start waiting it out until you lose aggro is just annoying design
Like genuinely I feel like omega is hard not because he's a well designed fight that asks you to assess each option he has and deal with it accordingly but because he just kinda throws all the bullshit he can at you, especially in his last phase where he rips a line of coke and spams even harder
Worst part is I feel like that kind of spammy centric balancing is kind of the standard in AT/Endgame adjacent hunts which doesn't bode well for the MR expansion

Watch them do that but it's like rise break lucent where the target cam still works
On one hand, kinda ruins the illusion
On the other with how fast lucent is I get why they let lock on still work
Also unrelated weirdly I kinda don't mind fighting tempered lagi in the forest anymore?
It's prolly cause with transcending and me actually going and getting a good gamma armor set he doesn't nearly one shot me anymore even at 9*, also I had to fight lagi a lot for armor spheres
Did they change the water phase? I feel like clutching his red special weak points in the water phase didn't use to cause him to flinch when you land the clutch. Which admittedly does help the phase not suck like a shitton
Honestly I feel like the water phase would be way cooler if it basically wasn't mandated when fighting him
Like unless you're a speed runner who kills him in 2 seconds he always does it which gets stale
Its weird how wilds is weird and inconsistent about the moves and strings the monsters do, but is super consistent about phases and shit
Like basically every AT arkveld feels like it's the same fight in terms of progression and area transitions
Like siege Esque fights being samey makes sense because it's a siege fight, kinda hard to make em vary in phases cause of their nature as big ass monster (low-key kinda wish gog was treated as a normal ass monster tho where you run him down around in the oilwell basin proper, I feel like one of the biggest YET TO BE ACTUALIZED advantages of a open world map is to let the big ass monsters have some room to be bigass monsters and move about)
Craziest part is I feel like gog actually could have worked as a normal ass hunt in the basin specifically
I feel like he'd have enough big open areas to work in
Taking a previous siege monster and making it feel like a normal ass monster sounds like a cool idea
Low-key kind hope that's what Mr gog is
Closest we got to that was kulve which even then had a specific area

Low-key kinda hope we get a MH game at SOME point that's like a riders game where you can have a monstie, but it's normal MH combat

its only heroic when you're taking down the cataclysmic beasts, most hunters are just going out there and killing animals in their homes just kinda for fun

It's hilarious how I haven't gotten any of those bastard videos for MHS3
Y'know the ones that are like "newly released/soon to be released game FINAL BOSSFIGHT AND ENDING" Where they put the fucker in the thumbnail so even if you don't click it you still get spoiled
I swear YouTube finely tuned the algorithm to only spoil games I actually wanna play
Can't wait till the wilds MR expansion I probably won't buy (at least on launch) comes out and I won't get spoiled on that at all
Wilds is gonna have to do a lot of pre launch marketing to get me to buy the dlc on launch cause the game is just frustrating to play atm
Its psychotic to me how a team of like 4 competent hunters in GU can take down an EX deviant in ten minutes but a team of similar skill level in wilds takes nearly 20 on EX zoh/10 star ATs
The multiplayer HP scaling is ridiculous
The fact I can kill a zoh in like 15-18 minutes solo and that I rarely get a time under that in multiplayer is stupid

Cause no one plays RPGs besides rpg players

Everyone seemingly hates tiggy and I don't know why
He's just a stupid lil guy
You lettem run around enough and he tuckers himself out
hushed kelp
He just is too insistent on doing what he wants to do, which is exactly what most hunters do but he does it better so we have to adapt
Also he's just a tiger t-rex that screams really loud
icy stump
Yeah idk I feel like I usually can kick tigggy around like a can
rose bison
tigrex isnt hard, he just uses the same attack over and over again and thats boring to fight
speaking of tigrex how do you guys pronounce it
me personally i do tee-grex because it sounds closer to t rex

I hate Tigrex because why does he have almost as many appearances as Rathalos
rose bison
i feel the pronunciation just depends on whether you want the name to be closer to tiger or t rex
rose bison
I hate Tigrex because why does he have almost as many appearances as Rathalos
that wouldnt be a good reason if his fight was fun
but he has so many appearances and is boring
analog osprey
that wouldnt be a good reason if his fight was fun
Like take Rathian
Yes the hitboxes are jank
heady goblet
I mean, Rathalos in the older games was pretty boring, but he's not going anywhere
analog osprey
But Rathian overall is a decent mid-game fight
heady goblet
Late mid-game, I'd say
analog osprey
She's not too challenging but still forces more inexperienced or unprepared hunters to come out of their comfort zone
icy stump
Tigrex is like rathalos tier
rose bison
like i dont think arzuros is a good fight but its one of the first ones so it shouldnt be too complex
so it makes sense
tigrex is very honestly similar moveset complexity to lagombi
icy stump
There's fodder, mid, rath/most flagships/ normie eldersor strong ass momsters/special class monsters
heady goblet
Real
rose bison
no he isnt

cephadrome was like one of the second fights in GU
icy stump
My goat would never get folded that easily
rose bison
tigrex is way past that
heady goblet
My goat would never get folded that easily
Tigrex is your goat?
rose bison
unless you're talking about difficulty/complexity then yeah cephadrome is fitting
icy stump
Nah I'm bullshitting, but he's up there
analog osprey
My goat would never get folded that easily
I'm talking more ab jank and being annoying to deal with
icy stump
Id put him in rathalos/zinogre tier in terms of personal enjoyment
analog osprey
Ecology wise he obviously has some tack
rose bison
im never fighting cephadrome again
rose bison
Id put him in rathalos/zinogre tier in terms of personal enjoyment
that is absolutely wild

Cephadrome for Wilds expansion

How Cephadrome be moving, according to Unga
No???

zinogre, one of my favorite monsters, next to tigrex
icy stump
Yeah I like em both
rose bison
Cephadrome for Wilds expansion
i wouldnt mind cause im not playing it anyways
icy stump
Then again I like most monsters
rose bison
i like a lot of monsters i just also dont like a lot of them
analog osprey
zinogre, one of my favorite monsters, next to tigrex
Hate me if you will-
Zinogre is almost as bad as Tigrex for me
No hate against his lore, fight or design
Its just a personal gripe
rose bison
i still enjoy fighting the ones i dislike, because the combat is good even when the fight design is not
icy stump
Lemme see I don't like plesi, gravios, basarios, uragaan
rose bison
basarios is an annoying one
icy stump
Uh
Oh right khezu, but he gets folded if you have earplugs

Zinogre is like one of the coolest monsters imo
He's top 2 for me
Behind my boi, Mr basic bitch himself

definitely not my favorite fight, probably not even one of my favorites tbh, but its one that i do like
analog osprey
i just love zinogre as a design and it makes me love the fight more
Like I said, nothing against it in that regard
icy stump
Low-key I feel like zinogre is one of the best designed fights
He the slams and allat are super interesting to play around
analog osprey
He was the first monster that walled me
rose bison
you know its a bit unfair cause my favorite is primalzeno

Back in Portable 3rd

Primalzeno is so sick
