Does anyone have any Weird Old Tricks for doing adept guards with CB? I find the delay after attacking or doing much of anything except sitting there waiting for the cue so you can guard on time to be too onerous to get any use out of it.

Evade in axe is nice, though.

You're really meant to use guard points for it; that's why you get another guard point in adept style and the guard points overall are much more noticeable.

What're people thinking of the limit break hunter art on CB? I find that I ultra very rarely, and for all other purposes I cycle phials enough that I don't need the additional two capacity.

Anyone with big hands able to recommend a grip for the N3dsXL? I've got a silicone rubber one that's okay but wondering if there's a super good one I'm ignoring. :(

I use this one:

I can't stand holding rubber or other friction-ey grips for extended periods. This one is a nice solid plastic, it looks small but fits my hands perfectly.

I originally went with it because there weren't any grips available in the US right when the New 3DS launched but I've been using it since then and I'm a big fan.

It's best used at level three and paired with load up. Level three gives you ten phials and load up means red charges ten phials. Go hog wild.

I've been working my way though the weapons, trying out the new aerial style. Charge Blade was a disaster, Long Sword had me convinced my R was broken, etc etc etc.

Then I found out that with Dual Blades, you can go devil trigger. "Wolf's Maw I" makes you burn with blue flames, red glowing eyes, and a black shadowed face. It also doubles your damage output for about fifteen seconds!

Sword and shield is my new love. I went with it when I first played Tri, and wasn't quite happy with it. But now I do sick flips off of monsters while knocking them out. Striker might be better, I don't care, I'm gonna kick flip off of monster's faces forever.

I'm glad the insect glaive isn't so overpowered anymore. Any time I used a different weapon in 4U, there was always that voice in the back of my head, "but you would kill this so much faster if you just used your glaive". I love you insect glaive, but we need a break.

Also Malfestio is a really fun fight and my brain seems to totally ignore the confusion. All my cats are gonna be dressed up like little owls.

Someone give me an easy way to off the Nibelsnarf because I'm too tired for this poo poo.

I know about the bombs+fishing but half the time he eats the bomb and nothing happens, I get knocked out of the fishing animation or he just leaves after I set up a bomb. And you can carry like 2 per hunt? Honestly what the gently caress. I must be missing something because he doesn't seem to leave any openings otherwise i.e. constantly charging back and forth.

e: and he deals half my HP in a single charge

Yes, but at the start you seem to get one solid and then some fairly situational ones.

Seems like there's potential for a lot of the Aerial style love to get converted to Striker supremacy if there are good late game arts. I was messing around with GS Striker and chaining a quick AOE damage + damage buff art into the starter ground slashy thing.

I was just doing it while farming something easy, so it's hard to get a gauge on how effective it was... but it went from not limping at all to dead next time I hit it.

Yeah there's an art that provides 100% combine rate, as well as maximum combine production, that I could see getting some use for late game bowgunning. Especially LBG! But if i could, I'd probably still want to take things like Full House.

Online has its own set of key quests and urgents you need to do to rank up. There's no G rank in Gen, just HR, LR, and the Deviant monsters.

Tri was a weird game where you had to grind quests over and over to get your HR up. You don't have to do that anymore.

I just played aerial and jumped all over snarf.

if he eats a bomb (while not angry) or just gets stunned particularly hard he'll end up pointing straight up for a few seconds. if you sheath and run over to him you can fish him out of the sand before he recovers. if you take too long (mash all the buttons to make it happen quickly) or people attack him instead of fishing he'll recover and slap everyone near him

jump to right after 3 minutes to see it happen

Oh yeah, building bombs in the middle of the desert while being assaulted by an enormous sandlizard, that sounds like a great idea :colbert: (that's actually a great idea though, thanks!)

Aerial sounds like it might be a thing to try out too (so far I've gone Adept on all my weapons because hnngh it's so good), because I'm sure I'll have to fight him again. In the end I killed him by repeatedly slamming my face into his face until he died, chugging through all of my 10 potions and mega potions. Whoever designed this desert must be a jerk.

Striker lance is a completely different playstyle. Basically, you charge whenever you can (sometimes even at point blank range) and go crazy with your hunter arts. You can also do the poke poke poke step combo when the situation calls for it, but really, Always Be Charging.

I tried out adept lance in the demo quite a few times, hoping to click with it but it never happened - same with adept gunlance. Maybe it needs more practice but yeah it just doesn't feel fun like many of the other styles.
