It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Are ranged weapons fun in solo? I've co-opped with people who use them and they're cool to have on the team but I can't imagine going alone with one. Which one is the easiest for someone who's never done ranged before? The less finicky ammo management the better , I can't wrap my head around that stuff

bow lets you do ranged without worrying about a billion things, and outputs a lot of damage

bowguns are more for multiplayer support, youre pretty much the party spellcaster with a ton of ways to debuff and CC monsters. you can also do a lot of damage oc and be fine solo but bow is just more fun.

Yeah me too but I'm worried I'm a little behind for MP, still don't even have all the bugs and disc stones I need for Jaggi armor. I can't stop switching weapons either .... Just discovered Switch Axe tho and this might be the one

Where does it hurt?
My favorite switch axe design in the series is in and I want it.

I'm gonna get my old kutku gear back from the fu days and get my favorite weapon design from 4u and that rules.



i tried aerial greatsword and dunking cephadrome was a lot of fun

I love it but I feel like I do way more damage as guild gs. aerial longsword wrecks everything I fight though.

it seems comparable to striker/greatsword to me. what does guild get in comparison to striker for greatsword? i rarely use that third skill anyway

Where does it hurt?
aerial gs dunks feel good but nothing will match the feel of a level 3 charge to the head of something on guild gs

guild gets a few other moves, but the big deal one is being able to do a charge attack that links into an instant charge attack of the same level as the last one, which kicks a lot of rear end against anything bigger than a drome

Does a level 3 gs charge to the face always stagger, or do those "gotcha bitch" videos involve correctly estimating the monster's health in addition to timing the swing just right?

Doctor Goat
Jan 22, 2005

Where does it hurt?
it's not a guaranteed stagger but it's an obscene amount of damage so it's pretty likely to trip a threshold

flash bomb him, if you're using sns you should be super fast on the draw.

also you were talking about the spin super move earlier and I dunno if you know this but you're invincible during the animation.

Chain crit boosts your affinity every time you hit a monster. I dont know whether it resets when you miss a hit or when you stop hitting them for a bit though

yyah the skill youre looking for is KO king nd unless they changed the numbers its mathematically garbage, in 4u it aonly reduced the number of hits needed for a ko by like one in a two KO fight or something
