Harrow posted:

So with hunting horn, is it better to queue up multiple songs and play/encore them all at once, or play/encore one song at a time so you can do those sweet R2 attacks more often?

I'd guess the answer is "play all your songs at once and then do regular combos until you need to refresh" but I'm not sure.

Get out buffs asap, then smack poo poo til any 3 songs are queued and attack.

If theres a knockdown its probably best to just play whatevers queued even it its not optimal to get that sweet hit in and not miss your opportunity.

Also. you can dodge to cancel out. So after you do your bash into encore cancel if you aren't worried about the buffs. That start of the encore is where the big hits are.

Playing them all at once is a massive time saver and it also does an enormous amount of damage, but you aren't always in a position to be able to do so. Sometimes you have to make a quick tune and then reposition. As mentioned previously, you are very immobile & vulnerable when setting up for a triple encore.

Oh, do the recitals/encores do more damage when you're playing more songs?

It seems like it but it might just be more time waddling into optimal position (the skull) to didgeridoo into. Not 100% 3 note does more then the 2 note self improvement. Nnot sure about multiple songs, need testing.

This is a guy who is doing multiple tunes on the HH at a time, note how each song on his playlist flashes one after the other to signal their readiness for the second R2 encore.

The very first time he plays the horn at the start of the fighting, he queues up three songs - they flash in turn to signify they have been played - but he then moves quickly without doing an encore because nergy was about to merk him. The songs that were played are displayed in green (Small buff) writing on the upper right of the screen to reflect that they've been played but without an encore which would have made them purple (large buff).

Ah yeah, I knew you could encore at any point during the recital to encore the songs you've played. I noticed he queues up multiple songs but then plays and encores them one at a time, though I suspect that's just because he can't afford to stand around that long.

It took me a bit to figure out that you meant his design and not, like, Nergigante pulling out Gore's actual skeleton out from the Rotten Vale and swinging around at you or wearing it or something.

Another really important thing about hunting horn is that notes from a previous song will count towards the next one, so if you do self improvement (white white) you only have to do two red notes to get the attack buff song (white red red) and if you want to take it further you could then do the healing song (red blue white) by just inputting blue white, so instead of taking 8 notes to do all those songs it only takes 6.

It's probably not that big of a deal but I really like this mechanic.

Yeah, that will be awesome and while horn dependent you can learn that 5-8 note combo and go to town.

HH seems cool but it also seems like wasted potential if you’re not in a group? I’m probably totally wrong on that.

i've done nothing but hunting horn since 3u and it owns even when you're solo. every horn comes with guaranteed faster unsheathed movement speed and deflected attack negation, and poo poo like up to 20% increased offense/defense, wind and roar immunity, unlimited stamina etc is extremely good, and cool. the fact that it works for everyone in multi is just a bonus

Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things.

The hunting horn changes made it so you don't move around during recitals and have a higher DPS when using them as much as possible compared to the standard HH combos. They're a lot faster and you can cancel out of them way earlier than before. Recitals have never been this strong and safe. In this game, your DPS will rely on how much you can pull off recital hits on monsters.

Ciaphas posted:

The initial self improvement gives you a huge movespeed boost while unsheathed, I think enough that you move at full non-sprinting sheathed speed

The encore prevents bouncing (damage is still reduced and sharpness is still deducted, but you don't stagger) which is loving brilliant against e.g. Barroth

I think damage is not reduced with ESP, you just lose sharpness faster.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:

Once you have three songs on the list, press R2 and just wait :sax:. Each song on the list will flash in turn to show that it's been 'loaded' into the horn. Once all three songs have flashed, press R2 again to unleash all three melodies at once.

This is risky and opens you up to attack and makes you very vulnerable so make sure the monster isn't going to hit you anytime soon.

I think you can roll out of the encore at any moment after the first song effect activates. You just won't get all 3 effects.

People say that hunting horn is not optimal solo mostly because people care way too much about ~clear times~. Hunting horn is my go-to weapon to rush to G-rank because you can use it in lieu of a ton of items, so less item management to care about. It is really fun to go to a quest with zero healing items and rely only on your hunting horn for healing. Makes things a lot more interesting.

Huxley posted:

The Hammer guy almost never does the standard charge-stop-attack, but I think is doing one of the moves that leads out of moving while releasing then following up with triangle?

Going back a couple pages, but what you are seeing there is the "brutal" version of the level 3 charge slam. Like I mentioned earlier if you use the hammer self-buff it changes your moves. It adds a flourish to the charge slam that makes you spin before you hit, and also adds a little hop to the level 2 charge uppercut.

From what I saw of the hammer speed run, it looks like the only thing that changed from the old 3 hit golf swing into charge level 1 into 3 hit golf swing is he would throw in a big bang at times. Maybe big bang gives more KO?

Yeah, I kinda wish I could make a ranked choice poll where you can pick your top three weapons and rank them in order, then we could see how many people ranked each weapon first, second, or third. That'd probably do a better job showing how popular each weapon actually is.
