In GE:R, the database in the terminal has entries for the weapon types that mention the special attacks they have, and there are also entries for the attacks themselves. You have to match weapons to moves yourself though, and there are no videos.

So I've been screwing around with all the weapons in GER, and for the life of me I cannot find a single, obvious fit for my playstyle. I like the scythe, but I'm not really using any of its unique mechanics. If I'm going for a general bread & butter "Run around like a moron and don't die too frequently" build, should I just roll with longsword + assault rifle, use custom bullets to handle all the enemy resistances, and focus on cheesing my OP and spending as much time in gun mode as possible?

Is there any way to heal yourself apart from A: getting way too reliant on allies with healing abilities or B: popping individual heal tablets in blocks of 4?

I never really saw the point of the scythe special stuff in GE:R for most monsters. Both specials are very much sometimes foods, usually for the larger monsters since otherwise their DPS is terrible, and like all of the weapons from GE2 scythe felt really bad without blood arts. The cheesiest weapons in GE:R are buster blades and blast guns. Blast Guns are cheesy because of their unique mechanic mixed with GE:R letting you use all 8 bullet modules (think it usually only had 6 as a balancing factor?) to make very bursty, hard-hitting bullets. Buster Blades are cheesy because very early on you get a control unit that multiplies the power of your next attack upon devour and given Buster Blades have the strongest single attack potential you can really capitalize. Later on in the game you get a control unit to increase damage the deeper you get into a combo, but even then don't think it really competes with putting the single attack boost on quick-devour, having the quick charge skill and just spamming it with your strongest Buster Blade attack. Also, step-devour existing essentially gives you charge spear or shortsword levels of mobility. If you want to focus on shooting then assault rifle has the best OP conservation and thus the most sustainable pure gun DPS, but blast guns are the best for mostly ignoring the gun to do high burst.

Scythe has this massively weird issue in GE:R where the "critical" hitbox of your weapon is much, much harder to land than in 2:BR with the normal attacks on the square button. A lot of the HP restoration augments are really good on scythe in particular since Round Fang by default hits multiple parts at once from a massive range, combined with Cleave Fang and supplementing for the DPS you need using combo augments and the like.

Are there enough people playing it online on PC? The price is kinda steep for me but I always wanted to try playing a Monster Hunter game with other players (I don't own any consoles).

I don't think this is a game you should be playing with randoms. That said you can have mildly customizable AI buddies so it's not like you're missing out on support.

Playing with randoms shouldn't hurt anything except you might run into a cheater that blows through missions way too fast. EDIT: \/ yeah, that's definitely an issue too. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Sep 1, 2016 |

Slowly go for all the item skills, like item effect, item usage speed, recovery item effect and their burst versions. Soon you'll be using items in like 0.1 seconds and the smallest recovery pills will recover half of your health. Also go for autoguard and the two skills that don't let you die if you have more than 50hp and don't let you die if you are guarding. These three together make you virtually invincible.

same question for GE:R - my AI team members won't heal me unless I get knocked out. is there any way to command them to heal me?

Eventually you'll get the ability to have people bring Heal Gates with them into a mission, which the AI is fairly decent about using, but until then, you're better off just using items than hoping your allies help.

You can equip heal bullets to a whole bunch of different people via Personal Abilities. You need to progress in the game further for some people, but just about everybody gets a heal bullet.

Alisa in particular is very thorough about using healing shots, and unlike Sakuya and Kanon can also put you into burst mode and actually block attacks. She's probably the tankiest dedicated healer.

Yeah, condensed aragami shots can only be given by newtypes, and they're pretty great. Newtypes also have no real gaps in terms of attacking vulnerabilities; between their guns and their melee, they should always have something that can inflict meaningful damage on an enemy.

Eh, Soma is consistently useful on harder missions as a dedicated tank, no newtype can match him in toughness without using their skill slots to match what he has naturally. but otherwise being heal and bullet bots to fuel players is what the AI is best at so always better to grab newtypes. Ren and Alisa are probably the best contenders in that department.

What's up with Annette and Frederico? I'm only at difficulty 3, but I've met everyone else on the roster so far except for the two of them, and they both have (alt) after their name. They also look like new-types even though story-wise, they're not supposed to be there yet. Some sort of pre-order bonus?

Yeah, in God eater burst you would only get extra AI newtypes besides Alisa waaay deep into the game, so now you can have two straight off the bat on any missions that don't lock characters.

So does the (alt) mean they are a 'newtype'? And newtype means they can use both guns and melee, right? Also, does taking less people on a mission give you better rewards?

Once you unlock the real Annette/Federico, you can take the Alt and Actual versions along on the same mission, too. Taking less people doesn't get you anything extra.

The exception is that you can only get SSS+ ratings if you're solo, but that's not worth the bother.

Original Annette and Frederico had weapons that were styled after hammer and spear, but weren't actually since they didn't exist as polearms yet. The (alts) have an actual hammer and spear.

How many goons are playing this on steam right now? Is there any interest in starting some sort of party or getting a PGS thread started because I would love to try out the multiplayer but don't know anyone with the game.

A couple of quick questions: 1) Is there ever a reasaon NOT to select a personal skill thing (or whatever that thing is when you choose a partner's portrait) post-quest? I notice you can just select Finish. Is there a reason one would want to? 2) I know the amount of pips on the top-right of each portrait indicates how much of an AP bonus they'll get if you select them. Is it randomized, or otherwise significant? 3) What does it mean when it has a ★ icon instead of those pips?

I'm not super good at this game/series (I started with GE resurrection in case I cared about the story - I don't, it turns out) so I was looking online for general tips and tricks and stumbled across just how badly the bullet crafting system is broken. It seemed a little crazy to me when I poked at it in the menu but I thought it was like "maybe you make a bomb ammo that shoots smaller bombs out of it" or "you combine slug and buckshot ammo together to shoot a wide spread of BIG bullets" or something like that. no, turns out people do stuff like shooting sniper bullets into the sky which then buff themselves based on distance to the target and automatically home in from above and break like 3 monster parts within 3 seconds of starting the mission It kind of feels like maybe you shouldn't be able to do that in this game but I guess if anyone else is struggling like me it basically has a built-in difficulty slider, just craft a bomb that one shots everything or whatever?? game is pretty cool otherwise, better than I was expecting. I'd say I definitely like it more than MH overall, most of it is much less opaque and easy to interact with on a basic level.
