MONSTER HUNTER 4 ULTIMATE

>>284503813
Is this a good starting point to the series or is there something I should just emulate?

so I'm wondering how fast those beginning monsters go down when you have end game weapons?

for example, the great jaggi

could you solo one from caravan quests in under a minute?

How to I unlock jewels that raise sense?

This game will be dead by the time you get to it if you start with something else. Story doesn't fucking matter just start with the newest one.

>>284504431
Considering you can easily put in 500+ hours into each game, by the time you reach MH4, 5 will probably be out.

Just start with 4. None of the stories continue, or even matter, and everything you need to learn you learn from the community and by playing.

Don't listen to those retards. Yes hit the face but the most important thing is that you mount that shit 1-2 times. It does good dmg on his head. Some people kill him by only hitting his head and still get not break if they don't mount him

IM THINKING ABOUT MAKING THE HR MONOBLOS ARMOR
ATTACK UP XL AND ADRENALINE +15 (I have a +5 Attack talisman to make it work) AND HAVE 4 SLOTS LEFT OVER
OR
ATTACK UP XL, SPEED SHARPEN, AND ADRENALINE +10 (+10 only gives more defense, +15 gives 30%+ attack) WITH ONE SLOT LEFT OVER
OR
ATTACK UP L, SPEED SHARPEN, AND ADRENALINE +15 (add a talisman with 2 slots, allowing me to get +15 and speed sharpen, but no attack XL)
IM FREAKING OUT OVER HERE AND ALL I GOT IS HR JAGGI ARMOR
PROGRAM IS PING'S MH4U DEX FOR PC AND MAC

People here are praising CB to be memeweapon that its too good.

But yeah, this one has the best introduction for a newbie, is the most polished, has the most content, and once you git gud, there will be more people to play with online.
There's no running plot or really anything more than you are a hunter, there are monsters causing trouble, go kill those monsters for us.

If it's not this you're a fucking fool.

>>284506431
Lance.
Honestly I would say lance is the most 'solid' weapon out of them all, as it allows you to dodge, guard, with an always steady stream of damage ( and always the 'best' damage as it's both slash and blunt, and will use the highest value ). You can also do air attacks regardless of location, something only the IG can do otherwise. If it has any faults, it's that it has no burst damage, something the gunlance makes up for, but in turn lacks the same steady damage output the lance has.

Honestly I'd say play lance if you want to learn a monster in and out, as it allows you every option in the game to respond towards them in turn.

CB is what SA should have been. It's got a nice system to manage and feels cool as hell. Hammer is for dealing satisfying charged smacks and then watching the monster not react to them so it's a bit like GS only less mindless and boring.

>>284506762
At the end of your roundslash (third A move) and at the start of your switch to axe mode animation, your shield is in front of your hunter, if you get hit at this point during those animations, you automatically block it with smaller knockback. When in boost mode, this also creates a large explosion that damages the monster.

I can explain the shell types, Wide shells gain boosted damage if you charge them before firing, Long shells get more damage if you use wyvern fire, and normal gets a damage boost after you do the slam attack and press a which shoots out all your shells at once like a shotgun.

Don't pick GLs based solely on their shelling. First it is RAW, then sharpness, then element and shell level/type last. Personally I find that Wide>Long>Normal since full burst isn't exactly my cup of tea (Wide is the best DPS wise though).
Hit it until it dies, like any other weapon.
Your basic 4 hit combo (Forward X>X>X>X+A) followed with your preferred type of shelling, followed with the combo if the monster is still down.

so like what armor sets are good for someone just beating Seltas Queen in story mode?
I've got the Rathian, Khezu, and Nerscilla so far but it feels lacking, any suggestions?

>>284507717
Ah okay. Good to know, thanks.

>>284507345
Actually it's not that hard. The block frames happen the split second you transform and last for long enough that as long as you know when you're going to get hit, you should have no trouble blocking it. Protip: Transforming with R+X+A from idle has fewer transform frames than X/A>R+X, but the Kick button from idle does the full length transform.

2 charged Wide shots do more explosive damage than a normal full burst, while being combo able, faster, and less opening based (plus damn they don't leave you as open).

Jesus fucking Christ. I think I just got a fucking brain aneurism from fighting Frenzied Brachy with Glaive. The fucking blood vessels in my eyes were popping and I got fucking gimped on getup twice by nontelegraphed double-hit explosion punches, all while barely able to keep any form of extract because he's Coldsteeling behind me and shit.

Brachy went from fucking piss easy to easily the most fucking undesirable monster to fight in the span of one game. Fuck that guy.

>>284509179
As a glaive user who just also fought him, what IG are you using? Do you use the back jump/hop to try and get away from him mid combo? The kinsect is also a valid way to do some damage if you don't want to get close, just sic it on Brachy and wait until either a jump opening or you can hop in yourself.

I'll admit I have G-Rank stuff so it was probably way easier for me but I'll give whatever advice I can.

Elemental can work as long as you know where to hit for it but if you want to do ranged damage I'd suggest an HBG 9 times out of 10.

The only exception being monsters that close distance super fast and aggressively which makes using a HBG way more difficult.

It was just a fucking super high difficulty spike; I had no trouble with Brachy in 3U, proceeded to best Frenzied Jho and have been dominating village and caravan with my collection of excavated and crafted glaives; I brought Sect Happa+ with like 100 something speed on the mission.

Play whatever you feel more comfortable with, MP wise only thing you should be avoiding is pellet RF (that and poorly aimed explosive shots). But yes, both bow and HBG are better DPS wise.

But you shouldn't worry much about it, shit is pretty negligible specially when you have while you have your comrades aggroing the monsters.
Seregios LBG is godly though.

Will I win the fight?

>>284509617
Hi. I'm a Lance user. Rath's are the fight I love the most because they are easy to abuse. I'm sorry Great Sword user, maybe you should switch to Charge Blade if you're having a hard time? I hear it's damage output is all the rage right now.

HOLD YOUR ATTACKS

I've only hunted with /v/ so I don't really need it

>>284509856
Yes. They are some of the best dragon damage weapons in the game, and all have good RAW for their style + affinity.
Just note that Dragon damage isn't the end all, be all in this game like it was in Tri. You'll want other stuff as side arms.

>>284510136
Bow is my 2nd favorite weapon, HBG is pretty fun for all that power house, LBG is pretty cool until the RF awe-effect runs out and you end up with a low damage dealing weapon.

I've gotten about 6 glaives up to the point where I need to get to G-rank to complete them; I just get points and money from everything and can afford all the speed nectars and haven't used any of the stamina and powers so I'm secure in my place as nectar governor.

In hindsight I don't know how I got where I did. I guess it's just dedication to the weapon.

>>284508401
The point is they do nothing. If there are no active skills you are using a combination of equipment that is terrible.

Good gunlance for starting high rank?

>>284510447
start hammering the shit out of monsters' heads and love every second of it

>>284506860

4U does a great job of actually teaching you how to play the game, and is a hell of a lot less rough to stay drawn into, a lot of my casual friends stuck with it because of the caravan story, and from the times I've played online with them by doing it they've actually learned a thing or two about how to play... Unlike the longsword shitters in 3U

>>284510431
How the fuck can I stay under him when coming within 50m of him while he flies causes wind pressure?

How do I git gud with gunlance? How come that angled jab hit weaker than straight jab considering most monsters are way taller than you?

Also, I'm considering to build another weapon for cutting tails. Which is better DB or SA?

What.

Just gotta ask, is there a fucking safe way to fight gore magala as a hunting horn user? Should I try and stay underneath him and aim for his head from his stomach or something?

>>284510875
SA is the king of tail cutting

>>284510875
SA is better for cutting tails by far thanks to its insane reach. If you want to cut tails with DB, most of the time you have to trip monsters first. It's not impossible by any means, just more of a hassle.

Can I get some switch axe tips? I've been Insect Glaive all through low rank but I'm getting tired of feeling like I constantly need buffs up.

When I'm in sword mode, should I just be walking around that slow? Or should I only switch to sword mode when I have an opening? I spend most of my time in axe mode.

And when I'm in axe mode, it feels like I rarely have a chance to do much other than the forward x poke. The standing X has a pretty long wind up, so I tend to save it for when I flinch or trip a monster.

What should be my go-to on a tail when I knock something over?

>>284512110
For an absolute beginner, I think it's pretty important to try out every single weapon, pick the one you like most (factor in no other criteria when choosing), and then focus on just the one weapon type. Sticking with just one will let you learn the flow of the game and its mechanics much better.

On the other hand, Reddit is 100% shit no matter where you go. The points system ruins everything by promoting circlejerking and shilling. Even if you found a community with quality content, it would be a terrible place to talk about anything because unpopular opinions can simply be voted out of existence.

Can anyone give tips on meals? What are some of the best combos? I'm about to do the urgent quest to get HR2.

Also outside of the combo books are the other books actually useful? I know the combo books increase the likelihood of doing the combination by 5% but I have no idea what the monster books do.

I personally prefer using Bows and Light Bowguns. I like constantly peppering damage and status effects from a safe range, as well as halting a monster's escape.

I have no problem with any of the weapon classes in this game, I'm just happy to see so many players finding their own niche and not drifting towards a "one size fits all" trend of tierwhoring faggots online.

Find the armor and weapon that suits you personally. There's so much customization, you should have no problem designing a play-style that suits your individual strengths.

First priority is to negate bad resistance if you're fighting a monster of that element. If you fight a rathalos, a fireball will wreck your shit.

Slugger if you're hammering.

Ultra lucky cat/Carver Hi for drops.

>>284512709
I generally do meat + something (for attack) or fish + something (for defense). Pick whichever one is most appropriate for the fight. Like go with bread for stuff like damage negation, or veggies (I think) for elemental resistances. Those are the combinations I use, and I haven't done an awful lot of experimentation, so if someone has anything else to add that'd be great. Anyways hope it helps, I didn't get food at all back when I played 3U.

because you do fucking insane damage at the cost of no mobility and paper armor. Makes the game fun again when it starts to feel easy with hammers etc. Also gives you a new option for fights that suck ass to melee, see Gravios.

GS, I like more mobile weapons that can do burst damage. I run crit draw so I go for openings and do some charged crit draws, cutting tails and breakin parts.

No one needs to try the GS out, we need more bow/bowgun users online. I mostly see IG CB and sparsed between other melee weapons online. Havent seen a single bow and i've seen like one bowgun user.

What's your HR? Want to hunt something while we're there?

So tell me if I got this right.
Affinity is the chance of doing a critial hit.
For example -15 affinity would mean that 15% of the time I will do a negative critical, doing less damage.
And with 15% affinity 15% of the time i'll do an attack that does extra damage.
With 0 affinity I'll never crit.

Am I correct?

Coming from Insect Glaive to trying out hammer and switch axe, I feel like I'm doing absolute shit-all.

Is this what the game is supposed to be like, and the insect glaive is just super powerful? Or am I just really bad at these now and not used to slow weapons? How often should these things be sheathed?

>>284514403

Playing video games with you guys warms my heart. /v/ may be a laughingstock, and it may be a stinking pile of shitposting and flame wars, but whenever I play a game with you guys you're all so happy and pleasant.

Do I have to use a blue sharpness weapon to break the gravio's head from the 5* caravan quest?
