Skill that make 1st hit autocrit? Hmm.. I don't know about that. Need to study about it.

dont worry about that skill. u wont be able to get it till ure hr 7 - 8 i think

hehe..give you some tips..its called Art Of Unsheathing aka unsheath critical.

this is a confirm 100% critical hits ( extra 25% dmg ) when you excecute your first Unsheath hit.

Example:

Gs= unsheath the first hit= critical

no matter how much -ve affinity (-99.9% affinity) your weapon has, the first unsheath hit is a confirm critical!!!

so, gs player may benefits from this skill the most because either you play hit n run, unsheath hit and sheath weapon or the first lvl3 charge critical dmg stack with unsheath critical..imagine how much damage you deal

Read this link for AoU. Very useful

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage....&topic=51062321

get the sharpest weapons possible. if you are low ranked, probably get a ceanatur weapon and increase its sharpness by using artisan.
alternatively you can get ESP.

this is to avoid your weapon from bouncing, bouncing weapons leave you open to attacks.

strategy wise i cant really help. all i know is using gs (hit n run but aim for none bouncing parts). as kaeza said, cut the tail off if possible. it helps.

i doubt u d have the strength to even hold it... i dont think i can. and i guess i wont be able to run with it on my back either.

if mh was like real life, just having the gs on my back and walking would drain my "stamina bar" to 0 in less than 100 metre or even less (i m not fit ), and my staminabar max would be reduced to 10 too.... XP

oh and depending on bosses, on certain bosses it would be better to block roars/flash/quake.... such as.... ukanlos!!!

Lol...then we have to custom make KAS. make it with carbon fibre and titanium then

Woudlnt it be cool running around in your neighbourhood with the KAS around your back ( Ended up being throw into the psychiatric centre )

is not end up being psychiatric room.
i think is end up being taser by police or shot by police

Teaser? Are you joking ? Before they can even reach me i will up swing them sending them flying away like giaprey!!
wahaha..They cant shoot me either. I will just do the superman dive into longkang

lol
for visuals, i prefer still prefer the lowly carbalite sword. i'd say its the best looking gs to me.

btw, go ahead and make shen gaoren gs, its freaking cool. when u do a charge attack, red "runes" will glow.

to imagine it, just think of a gs with black colour runes on the side of the blade. when u start charging, the runes change to dark red, red, then intense red... COOOOOOOL

shen gaoren gs is the closest rival to kas. 1440 raw +30 to 40 def (forgot). it has no negative affinity but it's biggest drawback is that it drops to white sharpness way too fast, (needs sharpsword or sword sharpening to fix)

Yeah..i heard from gamefaqs they also said that GS is special in that way...But, it really looks like old time currency

haha..shen gaoren Gs can make as set collection la..when it comes to pratical use..forget bout it..

If capcom were to introduce +2 sharpness..i will certainly use Ukanlos GS i dont mind the ugly spiky surface of the blade though.


Oh ya, recently i watched a youtube mentioned it is possible to flinch a grank tiggy in non-rage and rage mode with Lvl3 charge ( KAS+sharpness +1+ AoU) better to get Fast charge so u can manage to land a full charge even the tiggy is in rage mode rather than lvl2 charge without fast charge.

so i had tried it out a number of times already and its confirm it really works

Gs guide:

1) Cut the bloody tail to shorten its flipping tail hit box.

2) Next, dont be too greddy on hits..always aim for the head. When it does the taunt position ( leg scratching the ground, tail waving and head doing the " laughing" post ) go forward and land lvl3.

3) opening: when it spit fire in non rage mode, charge lvl3 on its right side head/ your left side. Rage mode charge lvl2 more than enough.

4) when it does the poking ground attack, charge your lvl3 behind its back. Hopefully it will turn and..bang!!!!

5) Charge your Gs right after it finish charging at you from its back.

Just play hit n run style with it to prevent its instant charge.

Err.. what is level attacks of GS?

ooo sorry, youre from mh1 , a new gs attack that makes gs's so sweet are the ability to charge the 1st attack
(keep the button held)

you'd b surprised at how much damage it can do, like wat xcalibur said

lvl3 charge to the head of a g rank (or non g) tigrex will be a confirmed stagger (due to its awesome damage)

Omg.. it's almost like hammer attack? Isn't that just ghey?
By the way, I'm at Elder Quest 3Star and wonder which GS good for me?

And is it Guild's monsters attribute different from the elder one?

erm, to me in the begining of the game

for gs the most important is a long green

another thing, sharpness is actually better than raw damage.

akantor gs is green with 1500 raw (i think)

diablos gs is purple with 1488 raw, but diablos wins coz green sharpness gives 10-15% bonus damage while purple give 50%

not only that, with better sharpness u can cut thru more things without bouncing.

some people thing that bouncing is good as they can keep attacking none stop, but the truth is every bounce will mean you are doing only 1/3 of normal damage and your weapon gets blunt twice as fast.

Added on December 1, 2009, 3:09 pmdont worry about blowing ur cash/resources on early gs's. they're still "cheap" and the items are easy to "farm"

i would recommend you to aim for 3 gs's

1- ceanatur gs = not so high raw but is one of the sharpest gs in the game (so sharp until artisan gives no bonus to its sharpness)

2- tigrex gs = same sharpness (more or less) with ceanatur gs, has much higher raw and is comparable with diablos. i would say this is the 2nd strongest gs in the game. it has -30% affinity but can be fixed, with either ra+3 or art of unsheathing (first attack auto crit)

3- diablos gs = best gs ever, but needs art of unsheathing + artisan to make it the best. end game weapon.

other notable gs's:

sentoryu wolf = 3 slots, 40% affinity but white sharpness, good for getting more skills

rathian+rathalos gs = high raw but gives some dragon element. needed to break elder dragon horns to kill them easier

Wahh thanks for the informations.
This surely will help me, now I know why u guys prefer GS more than LS. But I will try practice LS and HBG to become more better player. Training ON!!!

2day not on9 msg flow like water

WOOTS... finally HR2

been bullied by blogonga...

HR1 boss ady so tough for me...

congrats

dont worry

i actually gave up mh for months before going hardcore.

one reason why i gave up was i tried playing guild hall, 2 star rathalos.

my weapons cant even scratch him (all bounced)

i was like "wtf how the f m i gonna kill this shit?"

fire ball one time fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh sakit... high chance of death...

Err Rathalos 2 Star? Umm.. maybe I fought with the 1 Star Rathalos before. When will be able to unlock Rathalos 2 Star?
He's my most favourite monster after Gravios. I like that Red-Guy, he's so cute and I really love to cut his tail off huhu

gaiachronicler,
Thanks for welcome me. Please teach me okay, newbie here huhu.

I still can't use GL and I think better to focus on LS and HBG first, my katana skill is rusting (actually since it's new pattern of attack).
I still can't do full combo in one blow without being attacked by the monster except if I use Shock Trap/ Pitfall Trap or Flash Bomb which I rarely to use since not fair to them err.. LOL!!! Hahah Actually I keeping all those stuffs for high level monster like 6 Star above and G.

Just finished all 3 Star Elder Quest after defeat Blongonga guy, this guy pretty easy since he's didn't gore much except jump here and there and throwing the ground stone..but yeah still need 10minutes to kick his ass with automatic demondrug. Thanks for calling your bodyguards which make me more easy to get my demondrug

I still weak with Plesioth using LS against him. Have to use megapotions a lot and his really ghey.. any wise suggestion huhuh.

well GL is hard to use i admit that
easy >>> difficult (melee usage)
DS = LS >> SNS >> Lance >> Hammer >> HH >> GS >> GL
this is my view of the difficult usage for each of the weapon( not sure about other people think of other weapon)
