Switch Axe as my main /favourite. For secondaries, usually between Sword and Shield or Lance

Hammer for support in KO and exhaust stamina but now I found out these are limited to monsters. Can't even get past tempered Kirin now


Need to main other weapon, either DB or GS.

I managed to one shot tempered kirin but I did do research in advance before attempting the encounter. These 3 are pretty mandatory - Stun resistance 3, Paralysis resistance 3 and Thunder resistance 3. The approach I went with to play with a non-committal style. Just don't go all out and unleash your combos unless its stunned or downed. Play conservatively, defensively and patiently. Throw a couple of hits then back off, rinse and repeat. I went with a dragon elemental switch axe and killed it within 20 minutes.

20 minutes! I hate it when mobs run away. Cause I like to use Insect Glaive and have to redo all the buffs again.

Yea some of the fights do take a while, especially if you solo. I do solo some of the harder encounters unless I'm grouped up with some friends.

Monsters would run away often, but I think they're buffing Insect Glaive on the 22nd March update where your buffs would last longer and have better effects overall.

monster running away is small issue, the most annoying part is when some of them decided to crash the party to have a monster orgy when you're soloing a weaker one

B-52 bomber especially. that guy is everywhere....

That's the fun part . I still like my brother first reactions with air bomber invaded his quest.

it's fun at the beginning

but it ain't fun anymore when they come & kacau you for the n-time, and you don't have the luxury to entertain them when you just wanna complete the quest as fast as possible.

lbg/hbg/bow or sometime lance. I main hbg. Liked bowgun since ps2 mh.

This is why you're meant to carry Dung Pods. Every item in the game has a purpose

Any ways to know the monster's HP? I am like keep hitting and hitting and not knowing when it's gonna end.

cannot see actual number. but when monster hp is low, they will start limping and their icon on map will have skull on it.

Sometimes it's a triple meltdowns. Go in and cucuk-cucuk a bit then get the hell out of the chaos. Then get in again.

That limping part really hurts my heart. lol!

monster icon on the bottom left of the screen will also show a heart beat. can somewhat guestimate from there.

hit until it go back to home to sleep or it turn mad. usually if the monster keep roaring and keep crash you or your teammates. It's attack is getting higher damage, let's say your HP 100, it crash you with damage 90. You left 10 HP and almost die. If you are weak in defense, then it just one hit kill you.

So you can determine, the monster will die soon.

thanks yoooooo. I sent some SOS flare yesterday night, was fun. LOL. Don't have to do anything and can finish quest. Happy!

Probably gonna restart my game cause i don't like my character. lol.

The heart beat is kind of hard to gauge. It's either blue or orange. I think it's better to look at the "limping" action when the monster is retreating + "skull" indicator in the mini map.

just hold, next week got huge updates. capcom is giveaway a free face modification voucher. So everybody have one free chance to modify their dissatisfy facial looks.
