Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill
This game is amazing. It's the right blend of monster hunter and... I guess dynasty warriors? For me. Today I realized there's a whole other level of poo poo I was ignoring with the mitamas after I equipped a deceit one who made all my rear spearing precision strikes.

One useful thing that I stumbled onto was holding RB (on xbox 360 controller) after holding X to trigger poo poo like bow strikes and sickle+weightything's chain throw let me move my thumb back so I didn't have to use the claw to hold X. Too much mh when I was younger left me with carpal tunnel.

Man I'm normally not a fan of the Gauntlets. They're too slow and boring and their main cool move requires such a massive window to reach full effectiveness that it often felt kinda blah.

Then I used Gauntlets with Mirage and a bunch of atk speed improving boosts. This is just unfair to the monsters. If I'm in my full combo of skills I can do the entire flurry combo in about 2 or 3 seconds? It's ridiculous. I'm not even FULLY specced for this.

Another fun gauntlet pairing is any mitama ability that lets you get back focus from critting. I've had whole fights where I was mashing the gauntlet special forever thanks to its semi-guaranteed crits.
