Is there something broken with the use the Dragonater/S. Wyvernshot objective in Rampages? I swear I've been using them, but it doesn't ever seem to count.

Same, just did the hub HR urgent and saw multiple dragonators fired but the count stayed at 0/2. We got S+ rating, so maybe it's just a display bug and it's being counted towards the final rating?

I've had a similar experience - seems to count internally for your rank and rewards but you wouldn't know from the display. Weird

What does getting a S rank in rampage do anyway? More drops or something like that?

I've seen a lot of weirdness with rampage rank tracking. Like, "stun enemies 5/5" and then not getting the checkmark

Also for the record I saw several people in the discord say S is the highest rank but I saw the Hololive girls get an SS rank.

Semi-related but I like how every single Hololive who plays the game plays a different weapon so you can flip through like ten different streams and they're all using something different

I think the "Use the Dragonator/S.Wyvernshot" objective is poorly worded and possibly a mistranslation or something. I think it's REPEL two monsters with the Dragonator or S.Wyvernshot, as I've seen the objective cleared by using the Dragonator on a group of monsters only once, but it repelled 3 or 4 of them. Simply firing them is insufficient.

Getting the Nargacuga armour for Dual Blades feels pretty good, and getting evade extender/evade window/critical eye seems pretty good for how I play, but my big damage combo used to be the kunai stab silkbind, cancel into a dash to get close, then X->X->X->X+A to get as much damage as possible on the kunai. The issue with evade extender is that if I try to dash cancel the kunai stab, I now go far enough the other side that I'm out of range and facing the wrong way, which is mildly annoying.

On the other hand, the evade is now a much better gap closer and I can stick to monster like a bad tick, so I think I'm gonna keep using it for the time being. I also look like a ninja, so there's that as well.

I'm having this issue with my spacing with SnS. Evade extender also fucks with the spacing of the Lance back hop. Don't get me wrong "evade extender got too good" is a good problem to have and easy enough to remedy, but definitely takes getting used to

Half of me wants to power gamer this poo poo to the max and calculated all the best skills for MAX DPS, and the other half hates the idea of running around in a clown suit and just wants to grind out a full Rathalos S set with enough decorations to get level 3 in Quick Sheath and maybe some Focus

Honestly with the fact that you can turn off certain pieces visually, it blunts the impact of clown suits.



I'm rocking three different sets but it doesn't look that garish because I've turned off my hat and gloves.

I’m taking a break from doing every key quest to go back and do a lot of requests I missed. I almost wish there was a way to track some of these as an actual quest. What the hell is a kestrodon and where do I find 8 of them. Where do I get eggs. (I ended up looking it up but there are like 20 of these!)

I finished the game playing SnS before switching to dual blades and this is my quick guide to SnS

Wirebug A gives approximately 1 billion i-frames

That's really all you need to know

edit:
I guess more seriously, try and use back +A charged into launch into falling shield bash (a) for stun or falling slash (x) to cut as a combo ender. On downed monsters I like to use the shield bash combos on the head to build up stun, especially in groups. Wirebug + A is legitimately amazing for both damage and the i-frames, you can use it to pretty easily dodge and punish roars and any of the more telegraphed attacks. If you're playing in groups, team healing items are awesome on SnS since you don't need to put away your weapon to use items.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
SnS is cool because you can be new at the game and fairly proficient since you do not have to commit to thing and can roll out of stuff easily to avoid being hit, and your attacks come out fast so you can hit and run. As you get better at the game and learn the monster's tells and the better combos for SnS you will become even better. You can build yourself for status effects or for affinity or for healing your team mates or for buffing, you can do pretty much anything well. I really like that SnS has both a low skill floor and a super high skill ceiling. You probably wont ever deal as much damage as a great sword or dual blades, but you can stun a monster then cut off their tail and also heal your team mates. It's super flexible while also still making GBS threads out damage.

However, I'm still playing greatsword because it helps me learn the monsters since I have to know what they're doing if I want to be succesful and I think it's the best weapon for forcing you to learn how to play. I really feel like I've improved a lot while playing it. Also getting 400 damage by landing a true charge slash feels SO good. I still don't know the best builds for sure, but I need me some earplugs and I like to have focus.
