Chaitai posted:For Melee weapons, is Aerial everything the best style? It seems to provide so much over everything else. The monsters can rarely hit you while you are flailing through the air smashing them on your way down, you typically don't lost THAT many moves for the various weapons. I guess the only thing you lose are the additional hunter arts, but I seemingly forget to use those anyways so I don't miss out on much. Striker SnS is objectively better than aerial for two reasons. 1) SnS arts are incredibly good and the circle slash or whatever it's called has invincibility frames and is basically spammable 2) you're only gonna get two mounts tops before most monsters are dead so if you're in a group really only one of you needs to be aerial style

There are too many weapons I want to use... gotten the hang of Adept CB, was gonna focus on CB and Hammer, but goddamn LS (which I haven't used since 2nd G) and SnS look SO drat fun, and Adept Bow just looks badass... drat YOU, CAPCOM!

It depends on the gun, there's a recoil stat for each. Each ammo also has more or less recoil, so something like Pierce will always kick more. Silencers for LBGs reduce recoil, and recoil also affects reload time slightly.

So what's the ideal Prowler build then? Is it that boomerang build that GaijinHunter has on his channel? Just want to start moving towards a viable online Prowler build. And if it is the boomerang build, what should be the base of it? A support palico right? Edit: Also what's a good early game Hammer/GS? As in something I can upgrade to pretty easily and it'll do for most of village. Blooming Brilliant fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Jul 19, 2016 |

Fighting or support that has Piercing Boomerang/Big Boomerang as innate moves and most of the skills listed. Fighting or Support depends on whether you'd rather do more damage or charge your gauge faster. You need one that has those skills innately because you can only inherit one move and one skill, and there are really good moves/skills that Fighting and Support types cannot learn inherently.

I literally just need one to upgrade my glaive. I don't think I'll wait until the huntathons to get out of a teeny sliver of green sharpness. :/ Prowler mode is turning out to be insanely good for those 'kill a ton of small monsters' quests. I like the built-in psychic letting me run circles around the boss monster.

Mortimer posted:if you're playing solo yeah aerial is great, mounting is a ton of free damage. If you're in a party it's generally good to have only one person aerial because of the increase damage required to mount each time you do it. Plus I think maybe you can hit the other person midair? Yes, I play almost entirely solo, so I guess I'll stick with Aerial for the time being, or at least until I git gud and can maneuver around monsters with SnS.

There's a 4 star village quest for prowler mode that asks you to catch 3 goldenfish that'll let you trade for fish with Neko (means cat). e: check out the resource thread on the monster hunter reddit for a link to a post outlining how to unlock all the trading post stuff.

Do you get anything for doing the arena? I just tried fighting Malfestio out of curiosity and did not even get a B rank. Of course that was my first time using the hammer, so I was mostly blundering around but it still seems like a tough challenge to get the S rank.

Zore posted:Yes. Its in the Palico Ranch run by Neko (Means "cat") To elaborate on this a bit, it's not quite the same as farms have been in the other games. To get items, you dont grow anything or put cats to work, like you used to. You designate a cat to essentially go and purchase items for you using wycademy points. It's kind of weak. You start with just 1 cart, which means you can get 1 item type at a time (herbs or whatever). You have to do pouncer quests to unlock different item types (mushrooms, honey, etc...). The rest of the ranch is devoted to training calicos to give them new skills and whatnot and the Meowster Hunter minigame. The minigame let's you play air hockey with your cats to get resources from the different areas of the game. It's fun and you can get some really cool looking gear from the rare items you can get there.

Yeah, Prowler quests tend to gate a lot of poo poo. They're also usually repeats of hunter quests at the same level with slightly lower requirements, which is such a loving bizarre design choice.

Neo_Crimson posted:Except you need 2 hunter arts to keep up that hyper sword mode, so it's either that or aerial shenanigans. Energy Recharge level 3 gives you 30% bonus affinity. You lose anime sword mode, but you can definitely get huge sword uptime and giant crit with aerial SA. For whoever asked about SA combo after a successful mount, I almost always go axe chops into the big finisher, but I should probably check numbers because a sword combo might be better.

The Gore Magala HBG requires 3 feelers, fuuuuuck. Did they ever do a blog post explaining how they picked the name Glavenus? It's a portmanteau of glaive and penus, right? A good rule of thumb for fighting him with a bowgun, if you think you're out of range of his glaive penus you're actually not.
