The more I get used to Spiral Thrust (Lance switch skill) the more I love it. It gives Lance a nice flashy, dynamic move. Helps make up for the loss of Iceborne's claw counter (one of the single coolest moves in the game, on a weapon nobody used). What a dope move. I tried Hammer again, but ran into the same problem that I did with it in Iceborne: I love the special attacks (claw moves in IB, silk moves on Rise) but the rest of the moveset just doesn't click with me. I have a much easier time bonking the head with Hunting Horn (same as in World/IB) because it has so much neutral-position swing variety. The bonks aren't as hard, but I can land them more consistently. No biggie, this is why we have 14 unique weapons.

Get your loving subcamps scrubs. Annoying hunting in 6* and 7* and fighting the monster solo for several minutes before the people still using palamutes show up.

Beat the final boss! The fight is really unique, and it utilizes the wirebug mechanics in a way that doesn't feel like it's just slamming in your face with the gimmick at all times. The monster looks cool as heck, and it's threatening without being overbearing. The music was REALLY good, though that's no surprise. I definitely won't mind farming this thing. I made her Heavy Bowgun because it looks kind of neat - single-shot reload on all elemental Piercing Ammo asides from Thunder (which has normal-sized clips) is really unique, even if it's not the best at all of them probably it's at least appealing for Thunder and I don't believe I made anything else for that, so I don't regret my purchase. Now I just need to fight Rakna-Kadaki one more time to get its HBG final upgrade, and I think I'll have a good HBG for every element except Water. And also excepting Dragon because it's "special" and gets super small clips so that's not viable. Then I'll have to see what I can do about making elementally-focused sets and practice to see if I can make them powerful. And lots of new, somewhat-required decorations I can make as well. This game ain't over yet, no way no how.

I feel like the end boss is a pretty samey fight that quickly loses its luster. The same stage gimmicks happen at the same times, the monster always does its pattern. Big spectacle bosses are kinda aMH thing but they’re never my favorite fights

Been playing around with SnS and while the drill stab looks cool as hell and is great for status and stuff, I can't stop bonking monsters into stun loops with the shield bash. It wasn't this strong in World and GU I'm pretty sure. It's nuts with even one point of Slugger. Monster Puncher Rise.

The Juryatodus urgent took me 35 minutes so I decided to jump into online and see if I could bang out my keys/urgents quickly. We did the rathian in good time and then the one dude triple carted to basarios gonna work on upgrading all my dual blades to at least the 150 raw level before I try soloing any more I think. The 130 raw magnamalo/Almudron ones just don’t quite cut it at high rank

Oh good to know, I just beat Mango and hit 5* village so I'll just keep chipping away at it. In between endless weapon swapping because I can't help myself. Did smack the big evil villain monster with my horn though as was foretold.

Been trying to learn the HBG but keep getting bodied by Rathalos. His 90 degrees fireball, followed by a sweep, just wrecks me and I don't think I am good enough yet to pressure him consistently.

Managed an 8 minute kill and an extremely anime diving wyvern tail cut during a midair scuffle. I'm very glad I decided to join the circus. Bonus fact: Having all three buffs for IG gives you earplugs apparently. LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LAUGHALOS

Yeah, don't do this. Sometimes things happen in such a way that getting carted is unavoidable. Being a dickhead to people when that happens isn't cool. If you want to be smug about your superior play, play by yourself.

I'm up to 4* Village and 3* Hub. When does high rank stuff begin? I'm asking because I'm still using my Izuchi armor, I'm excited to make more, but I'm still cruising along fine with this. If I remember my experience with GU accurately there are high rank armor sets, correct?

If you blast through village you get quests in Hub that let you skip the ranks up to HR, but at this point since you've been doing both I guess that doesn't matter.

I tried a lot of weapons! I got to the “end” with hammer mostly Gunlance: man blast dash is so fun. Also man blast dash feels like it is not your greatest option half the time lol. It’s so weird to see a big attack coming and just... stand there and poke the monster. I kept getting the feeling that actually I should be going for the charged shelling style not the unload all your bullets into the face style (I crafted Rathian with high level Normal shelling) LBG: holy poo poo this feels awkward. Might be I wasn’t using the ideal ammo with a good LBG and didn’t have the right armor and all that but it just felt like I was tickling the monster I was absolutely playing this wrong. Also the controls are so different Dual Blades: actually kinda fun?? The impression I got was these are the button mashy weapon and they kind of are but you’re so mobile and jumping in the air and headshotting things it’s cool. I can see the constant element management getting annoying - I only crafted a good Fire one to test it out and guess how many monsters are completely immune to fire (a lot of monsters) I’m gonna go back and do Switch Axe now that i can get an easy rapid morph 3 and see if I like that style

Just get to HR, craft up a basic attack boost/crit eye set and go buck wild with your favorite weapon until you unlock everything. Then you grind.

I'm still in HR6 and haven't unlocked everything yet but I have mainly used the izuchi set as a foundation and then complemented that with minor pieces from other sets depending on the skills I want. I've also used a couple of different elemental IG's depending on the monster I am fighting, even though I know that the narg one is "the best" based on aff. I can highly recommend IG, it's so fun to zoom through the air and you feel nigh untouchable at times.

It’s subjective but personally I prefer crafting gear along the way, even if it means I “waste” time building something that’s not endgame viable. Upgrading and trying out new gear is fun, speedrunning to the end and then only building endgame stuff means lots of gear never gets a chance to shine.

Having not gotten past the main story of MHW, how does removing the HR cap work? Is it like Diablo where you can set the difficulty of the monsters near infinitely so numbers always go up? Or do you just increase in HR while you and the monsters remain the same?

Yeah you'll get quests for some new mantles and types of pigments for armor at pretty high HRs. e: I actually think I misremembered and the mantle stuff was pretty high MRs in iceborne. I think you just get a few quests for HR in base world.
