So All monster hunter games (I dont know if the first few did) give you a little companion to help you in solo play.
Usually it's a felyne, and they dont get any, or much, lines of dialogue or importance.
They're also all adorable and you can dress them up in armor that you get the pieces for pro bono when creating your own armor.
So you can go out in your giant dragon armor with your little buddy also in giant dragon armor:


In this one they give you cha cha. who is terrible.

The Switch Axe does indeed own, pretty sure I used it the whole time I played 3U.


Counterpoint: I would rather listen to Cha-cha's weird tribal babbles for an hour non-stop than ever hear the awful Felyne sounds. They're so grating and so frequent that they became an in-joke between my wife and me.

Double Counterpoint:

What's definitely clear is you'll have a hard time going back to 3U after 4U. The new weapons - insect glaive and charge blade - are really excellent, and they added some cool mechanics to the rest of the weapons that are hard to live without.

Case in point I cannot play Longsword in 3U just because they hadn't invented the run-in slash after a fade slash evade.

Quick correction: Bouncing actually doesn't do any less damage, though it does drain twice the durability.

Though if you're bouncing off a part, that generally means you're doing really poor damage anyway, and you're attacking a part with a really low damage modifier.

I dont wuite like this point of the monster hunter games.
That crappy period between green and blue sharpness where monsters start getting big health buffs and youre still with many of the same basic armor skill and weapon options.

Evasion +3 (at+20 evade) gives you .6
The probably much more attainable +2 gives you .4 at +15.


Thats a shitload of i frames.

Im a fan of the diabolos :colbert:
And especially when I club it to death.

Alao on why lagiacrus armor is good: flagship monster armor and weapons always seem to do very well until early-mid high rank. Even better if its from the flagship giant monster.

Red hot chili pickles

Also Deviljho is the first monster you can usually find where the rage mode makes it much, much more deadly.
There are a few monsters whose rage mode also is a as much of a game changer but theyre instantly recognizable.
