Nice, feels like I'm downgrading the difficulty down an entire rank or two whenever I chug a mega armor drug. I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of it in HR7

Sadly, I have to write a bunch of boring legal articles before I can play today, I'm hoping to hit sunbreak content by the end of the day!!

drat this thread. I'm playing Rise again.

So I'm at HR 19 and I guess I need to get to 20? I have a ton of quests, I don't know which to do, so I'll do the ones with icons on them. This game is obtuse as poo poo, and yet I'm having some fun somehow.

I'm maining SnS, but not feeling it at the moment. I think it's lack of range is really killing me.

I know I said I wanted something fast but I don't know.

Reading the main thread, my eye's landing on Lance and Bow.

I like the idea of feeling safe with Lance.

I like the idea of speed(?) and range with bow. But how hard is the micro-managing, so crafting arrows, or using a coating complicated or just as easy as eating dango and not thinking about it again?

Is there someway to know if I am actually pulling my weight in hub quests? I really don’t feel like I am in a bunch of these HR6 and HR7 quests. I am not landing as many charged attacks as I should with GS.

I'm doing lance mainly for rise and it has great range and you can tank just about anything. It's a lot of fun. It's more mobile than you think too, with a dash and a quickstep.

Good to keep in mind. How stupid is it to try to start gathering poo poo to make a decent lance. Like it wouldn't take super long would it? One that I can use at HR 7 or whatever I'm at.

unless you try doing the quests solo, not really

it's entirely possible to go through the entire game in multiplayer without even knowing what your buttons do, for better or for worse

You'll generally want bows that can use Power Coatings, but you can really just set them and forget them until you run out. Then you can decide whether to restock at camp or just keep going. There's not a ton of inventory management when it comes to bow gameplay.
The only real downside will be getting ahold of the Mighty Bow Feather, which is the only thing that unlocks the final bow charge levels (until Sunbreak's post-game, anyway).

The bone/metal ones have decent power but no affinity so you wouldn't have to take too long to get a decent weapon but eventually I think higher affinity is better than straight damage but I don't know anything about the mon hun systems

Affinity is chance to crit. You can literally do calculations on when it’s better to have more attack vs more crit but generally you want them both to go up together if you can

He's only 4-0 with a WHIP of 0.87. All six starts were quality.

I took him too deep last game and he had a no-hitter going against the Nats in the 7th when he gave up a 3-run shot. I went on to lose that game in 16 innings and I'm still salty about it.

Averaging about 15 K's per nine.

After around 500 hours in various monster hunter games, I used armor drug / mega armor drug for the first time ever and holy poo poo

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to need to craft any new armor after all. A single drink seems to last most of the hunt!! Next I got to see what's up with this demon drug, both need to be a staple in my loadout because jesus

Makes me wonder what other ridiculously useful items I'm missing out on. I do use barrel bombs etc. But for the most part my loadout is pretty standard

Yeah I pretty much don't use any consumables except the stuff you get in absurd quantities like potions. I know I'm supposed to but my hoarding mentality always makes me feel like it's worth taking a little longer if I save resources. I know it's dumb but I can't get around it

Oh don't worry, by the time you get to the rear end-end of High Rank and past the midpoint of Master Rank (Sunbreak content), you will absolutely need to make those drugs a regular part of your routine to stay afloat. Or at least I do. Usually I start chugging them after I cart once. I figure by then it's go time.

I used to use the demondrugs and armorskins all the time in previous MH games but never do in Rise. Not sure why. The demondrugs would definitely make things go faster, if nothing else.

It should be helpful to know that Drugs/Mega Drugs do not stack on each other (it just takes the max) but they DO stack with demon/armor POWDER. And those stack with dango booster, and with charms and talons too. The drugs last until you faint, but the powders only last 3 minutes or so. The booster is a chonky ten minutes, which should be enough to do a good deal of damage before it wears off.

That buy now link is suspicious. Might be an actual scam going on.

I've gotten my share of robocalls that left a message which provided no means of calling them back. Not even like a hint or a name. It's like they're so ingrained in scamming they forgot there's supposed to be a payoff.
