Ya know, I think the introduction of Palicos as partners for hunts (DOES anyone remember what the thing from MH3 was named?) is probably the best thing the series has introduced. Both for aesthetic reasons (ITS A KITTY) and practical (Its provides another pair of hands and, at worst, gives a distraction for you to take advantage of)

They were Shakalakas. The one you had for most of the game was Cha-Cha, and Kayamba was the one they added for the G rank stuff in 3 Ultimate.

It sounds like OldHorn is the only way to get the XL buffs, and it lets you do the hammer twirl off cooldown with the downside of it being slower.

Ah see that's a tradeoff and one that would actually make me think about switching.

Why use wirebug bail when you can spend your wirebugs on counters that don't block anything?

I picked up GU when it was on sale some time ago but didn't end up playing it much, so I guess this'll be my first real MonHun! I like being support classes in games, but how does the horn fare as a solo weapon?

This has already been answered, but I'm answering it again because it's an excuse to talk about Horn.

Horn is dope solo. Your excellent buffs apply to you, too, and it's one of two weapons that specialize in blunt damage (along with Hammer), so you get loads of KOs (a knockdown caused by blunt damage to the head). It's an excellent weapon outside of the buffs, and the buffs simply make you and your teammates hit like trucks. I've been playing Horn solo after many hours with Lance, and it wrecks house. Fantastic weapon.

Hunting Horn is in a weird spot just because (even though apparently it is getting a damage nerf) it's seemingly the most effective in a party because of multiple people getting your buffs, but because of the way KO scales it might actually be better solo. At least in World, KO was scaled to such an extreme level in multiplayer that you'd be lucky to get one KO per fight, but in my solo missions I was absolutely clowning the monsters. Interested to see what some of the math comes out to once you get access to decorations and armor sets and how useful statuses will be this time around

i am STOKED to finally be playing this but i'm a little sad that they didn't address the issue of the hunting horn song list

it's completely unnecessary and takes up a bunch of screen space, and the only way to hide it is to also hide the staff and infernal melody indicator :smith:

Horn isn't weaker solo. Horn's self buffs just happen to also buff everyone else as a side effect because they're so amazed at how hard you're styling on the monster.

the mp scaling fully sucked in world and i'm really hoping it's back to how it was in earlier games

like super lame spending an entire hunt trying to break parts with a group and then going solo and doing it in a minute, easy

This is very true. Especially with Slugger 5 and Felyne Slugger, there are so many KOs.


And regarding the two Horn modes, loving awesome 10/10 GOTY :swoon:

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
The release of Rise spurred me to finally start Generations Ultimate. In World I largely used the insect glaive and the switch axe so I want to try something new here and have started with gunlance and adept style assuming it's a tanky defensive setup offering big returns on offense. Is that about right? And anything I should know before playing that'll spare me some grief? I remember reading World cut off the jank that was part of the series till that point.
