>tfw literally no reason to use anything but Mantis weapons ever

>>173574268
It's not THAT bad.
If it takes an average of 10 minutes per quest, it takes twenty hours of hunting (ignoring prep time) to level every deviant from 1 to 10.

>>173574268
I did pretty much the same thing. I'd say we could take turns leveling everything up, but that'd take twice as long as just doing it ourselves.

I also had the idea that I want to kill every monster with every weapon, but then I think of things like fatalis or the dromes and I lose motivation.

i'm feeling the temptation to go online though. the g+ hypers are getting kind of annoying, hyper jho and hyper dobo dobo took nearly 20 minutes and stuff like double hyper metal raths for my sns ha unlock just doesn't seem fun for me to solo

yes. shells scale badly in g-rank just like every g mh game ever. and speedrunners are still using adept gl because even though it got nerfed, it's still better than the trash-tier brave gl

Responding to the previous thread, yeah it sounds lazy but what sub in Frontier other than Raviente has its own music? Unless it also includes rare species in which case eh, i dunno if stuff like Diorex etc is a rare species or something else.

if you get thunderblighted, you better have some fucking good reflexes to iframe that curved bite because it's a guaranteed stun into wombo combo

i must have done the fight like 8 times and that fucking bite when thunderblighted always kills me. doesn't help that mantis, ceanataur, savage jho and silverlos armour all have a massive thunder weakness

it's a thing with all g-rank hyper monsters, but hyper lagi especially has very little downtime between attacks and he can cancel recovery animations of his attacks that ordinary lagi can't do

>>173582692
x/xx lagi is very similar to 3u ivory, 3u also had a dlc super ivory with buffed stats, g hyper lagi is like that but even faster

>>173582576

>>173582816
Eh, sometimes I can have good reflexes but most of the time it's shitter tier.

I could imagine. I'm still using just G rathalos armour but still has thunder weakness.

Damn.

Ah, okay, sounds cancerous.

Thanks lads, just found out there is a babby-tier "g" hyper lagi in the village advanced. Now to try unlock it.

>>173582997
>just found out there is a babby-tier "g" hyper lagi in the village advanced
pretty sure that is 3U's final village remake

>>173582997
i suggest you just hang back and watch how he attacks when he enrages. he can do retarded things like electric charge towards you and immediately cancel the charge's recovery to do the electric bite attack if you're standing near him. learned that the hard way when i tried to superman dive high charge and he just attacked me while i was still recovering from the dive

SA users, would you drop evade extender and/or evasion +X from your set in order to add more damage or do you think these are core for striker SA

So what does /hbg/ think of prowlers overall? Useful, useless, or an awkward in-between? I usually like just picking one with true health horn and the stamina dance skill to help LR players, but I don't think I'm really contributing much when it comes to actually damaging monsters compared to other hunters. It's still damn fun tho

If you don't think the gore magala ghost costume is the cutest shit waving those pompoms around then get outta my face

>>173583467
?....
Of course I'm using readiness I wanted to hear people's opinion on whether evade extender/evasion +X were more important to them than damage after considering positioning and evading when readiness isn't up

>>173583602
Man I wish there were some MH figurines with a Lance

>>173583632
In MP Extender is pretty good since the monsters run all over the map. In solo it's useless.
E+ is also useless unless you're just super bad at dodging.

>>173583686
I'm just talking out my ass here, but can't you rip the 3D models for the armors and commission a 3D print of it? I never tried either but it sounds like a possibility given that's how amiibos are made

>>173583087
Neat.

>>173583171
Thanks for the advice, anon. Only has 7k hp too, might cheese it with traps too to finish him quickly. The attack multiplier is only 2x not the 7 of the GH one.

>>173582362
cakewalk with adept DB, which is nice because his DB is really good.

Why is the new Diablos Deviant so cool?

Also why the fuck is it so easy?

I know I get it.. it's just a diablos and you can abuse it like any other diablos.. but that makes it one of the weakest deviants.

What arrangement of sharpness skills is good enough for the mantis SA? https://mhxxx.kiranico.com/buki/45680
RS on the natural sharpness seems too small but S+1 and RS is overkill
Since it's not deviant I was thinking S+2 without RS would be good.

Village quest chain reward

So I've noticed that most LS speed runs are reverting back to Striker.

What's up with that? Did people finally write Brave off as a gimmick and realize that the simple non-anime shit is better?

>>173584606
whelp. Do you know which village at all?

>>173584678

>>173584678

>>173584934

>>173585030
I am anyway but was hoping to get it quicker.

>>173584678
Striker will always be better if you have speedrunner reflex which allow you to dodge attack without evasion skill. But the average Joe likes Brave better because you can stack attack skills and still have ways to avoid attacks without having evasion skills.

With the nerf to purple sharpness, it seems likely that the Gore Magala hammer is just the outright superior Raw hammer in MHXX.

>Is Freedom 2 the PSP version of Dos?
Far from it, its a scaled-down version of Dos without the seasons. Also no bounties so money is easier to come by(especially when you know who's the final boss of F2).
Its not easier than Dos because of le lock-on tyrannosaur, but its not harder either.

>>173590034
Monster Hunter Portable (Freedom) is a port of Monster Hunter G with an extra weapon.

Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (Freedom 2) is a spinoff of Monster Hunter Dos. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (Freedom Unite) is the G rank expansion of it.

So what actually happened to HH between 3rd and 4th gen

>Try deviant Tetsu

Requires S+2 to even reach the same damage as Mantis and Narga. Spend those skills on something that boosts your attack power.

>or the various shogun swords

Also requires S+2 for purple, and even once it gets that, does not outdamage Narga.

CE+3, Crit Up:
Hidden Saber: (290)0.25 + (290 * 1.5)0.75 = 398.75
Jeweled Saber: (330)0.7 + (330 * 1.5)0.3 = 379.5
Shredclaw Kopesh: (330)0.65 + (330 * 1.5)*.35 = 393

>>173592713
actually it's an even bigger difference then that because it's possible to maintain purple with narga, and it isn't possible to maintain that with shredclaw. you also need to waste slots on 15 points of handicraft to get to that point with shredclaw, which you could use on something better with narga like AuL or WE

>>173592824
Assuming he's playing X/XX, he's in for a nasty surprise when he finds out the whole game is Monster Lancer

You may find that you're better at fighting a certain monster with one weapon over another. It doesn't hurt to try them and see what you like, but you don't have to ever switch.

There are new people here.

There are oldfags. Every /vg/ thread that has been around has it's cliques. Just get use to general faggotry and attention whoring.

You are encouraged to switch weapons. Find at least 3 or 4 weapons to experiement with and get good at. Some weapons are better at X monster than other, but you can kill any monster with any weapon.

>>173592774
>100% affinity with mantis LS

The only way you can do this with a 0% affinity weapon in XX is by using Challenger+2 on an affinity stacking set and waiting for the monster to go into rage mode. That same setup with Narga outdamages Mantis on every monster that isn't in rage mode for the entire hunt.

does anyone else get demoralised when they take 18 minutes to kill a monster that takes a speedrunner 5 minutes to solo? feels bad man

Use something that has natural mind's eye attacks if you're having issues with sharpness, like hammer, GS, or SA.

That monster in particular is complete bait for hammer because his head is so low and has very predictable turns.

Toukiden feels kinda weird. It's like what if somebody got a monkey's paw and wished for a MH game without as much gathering and shit, but the drawback is less satisfying everything else and more shit designs.

Second game is kinda funny in that its SP mode has an open world, though a relatively basic implementation at that. PS4/Vita has a demo version that allows you to play a chunk of the story, PC port is surprisingly okay but has a few issues.

That was the beauty of arc shot spam. You got all of those points in one tidy attack. Synchronized really well with their tendency to charge far away and take forever to turn around too.

Blade Wire has basically unlimited uses though, whereas Slicing S will never ever not ever cut a tail without dragging along combines and nailing absolutely every shot.

My mistake, this is 3U. The head doesn't lose its elemental weak spot after breaking.
What you SHOULD have been doing is aiming exclusively for the face, but clearly you fucked that up.

>You need to land every shot with Slicing S to cut a tail
Friend, three Slicing S lv 2 deal about as much damage as a Greatsword's Lv 3 charge. There are a lot of bowguns that can fire upwards of 15 of them. Also... slicing S is an internal shot now. You can't bring combines.
>Blade Wire has basically unlimited uses
Its uses are limited by both the number of charged attacks you can fire during its three minute duration, as well as by the fact that the art is garbage and should never be used because it hamstrings your damage for a full three minutes. I'd only ever use it as an absolute last resort.

>>173595794
It does dominate for LS, Hammer and CB though.

>>173596353
>What you SHOULD have been doing is aiming exclusively for the face, but clearly you fucked that up.
My 10 minute times on the endgame metal raths speak otherwise.

Oh that's right, I forgot about that. So Slicing S is even WORSE than it used to be because you're even MORE limited with how many you can use.

>Hammer
The Mantis hammer is near strictly outclassed by the Gore Magala hammer. With crit boost, the Gore Magala hammer is better at white than the Mantis hammer is at purple, even when ignoring the dragon element. It only loses one slot, too.

>My 10 minute times on the endgame metal raths speak otherwise.
You're seriously trying to tell me that aiming at a ~25 hitzone is better than aiming at a ~35 hitzone. 10 minutes is also not a particularly impressive clear time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzsnA3S-Jw0

>Slicing S is even WORSE
Listen sugar plum honey suckle, I don't think you're picking up what I'm putting down.
Slicing S literally a selling point for HBGs in XX because its motion value is off the charts and it charges the brave gauge super quickly. You can cut a tail in ~8 shots, and use the remaining 7 to blast the fuck out of the monster's weakspot.

Are any of the Unsolved weapons good?

>>173596901
>All those longswords are strictly inferior. Do the math.
The Wycademy LS is better so long as you have at least Crit Boost and some source of extra raw, like... a powercharm, for example. It only becomes worse if you risk overcapping raw.
It also has longer purple sharpness without S+1/2, longer white, and an equal number of slots.


But don't worry, "facts" and "math" aren't important. Mantis is always da bess :^)

>>173597135
Slicing S is the go to shot to charge brave, since brave is only affected by MVs, not actual damage dealt. Other shots get most of their damage from critical distance boost, while slicing S actually has a high MV by itself.

Any amount of purple that's at least 20 hits will last forever.

>>173596965
Yes. They're nearly identical to the vaunted Mantis weapons, which many consider erroneously to be the best weapons in the game.

Number of key quests * average quest time

depends

If you're a decent player playing solo, rushing keys and only farm one armor set for each rank, I'd say you'll unlock your HR in about 60 hours or so.

Faster if you rush keys online

>Using longer sharpness as an actual argument
I'm not using it as an argument, I'm listing it as a fact so that nobody will say "but muh Mantis has better sharpness" when it's objectively false. The extra purple gives you a little big of leeway though. Like, having functionally infinite or literally infinite sharpness are the same thing from the player's perspective, but one is still larger than the other.

>Powercharm is a really hard argument to sell because you can apply it to literally all weapons in the calculations for zero cost.
Pardon, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.
When the Wycademy LS has 300 raw, 25% affinity and critical boost, it's dead even on raw. When you give both sets a powercharm, the Wycademy LS becomes better because it's adding another 1.1 multiplier (25% affinity x crit boost multiplier). The more raw you add, the more it favours Wycademy, until you overcap Affinity.

>>173597217
You do know that Mantis can reach 100% affinity as well, right? No amount of added raw could make unsolved longsword better than Mantis.
