New season, new thread.

Season 5 starts NOW!

New weapon and skill info already on http://mhn.quest

>Use Hammer in Now because Horn isn't available
>Helping friend out make a build with Alatreon in World
>Never used Hammer in Traditional MH before
>Make a build using stuff I learned from Now
>Do a solo test run
>Running off strictly from Horn knowledge and MH Now
>First try
I believe the guys that said they feel they got better at trad MH because of Now.

You can hit it by unlocking and gyro aiming, but that's retarded
I've missed a gorillion tigrex tails just by trying to AED while at its side because of the angle

Also:
>105 bazel
>26 total plates
>299 tigrex
>21 total plates
I know the events slightly favored Bazel, but holy shit I'm so fucking sick of cutting Tigrex tails and still getting shit for it

What are the odds of finding a 9* bazel and then having my palico mark a 9* bazel? No plates but hot damb my Rajang blaster is hungry

So Mizu CBS pretty bad, right?

It has an Impact Phial instead of Elemental like Jyura does?

Or is this only relevant if you're going full Element build and is Mizu better for a general CB build?

>>1701898
Wait for namielle

We ready for glavenus, boys? It begins

>https://monsterhunternow.com/en/news/balanceadjustment202503
Lancechads… I think we’re back

>>1701939
Jesus, is there anything that WASN'T buffed?

>>1702143
I think they fucked with gunlance. I can’t chain charged shots so easily anymore.

>>1701939
Holy shit lance might actually be good now
Maybe my 10.5 azure lance wasn't for nothing
The leaping poke after side guard dash is very nice and you can do the gap-close running poke mid combo now too instead of the first hit

>>1702156
Yep you’re right, I used to be able to shoot two charged shells and guard for a perfect guard bonus reload against nigshade Paolumu and now I always get swept by the wind
>>1701939
Dual blades feels so much better with the improved tracking and demon mode swaps. On the flip side of gunlance wyrmstaking is so fucking fast and consequenceless I was able to stake kushala’s face about 6 or 7 times through the fight without missing entirely. Even 8* glavenus dies in two wyrmstakes and a few pokes. Long sword is way more iai sheathe slash oriented now and they gave it a unique quick work animation at level 3, shit is very nice. Hammer feels better but only minorly; the new special with forward momentum sure is nice so I don’t miss the golf swing. I’m not sure I really see the big difference in charge blade or switch axe yet. Need some lance chads to sell me on it, the glavenus lance looks beautiful.

Which Hope weapons are worth building?

>literally forgot to play today
>first time I didn't do the dailies
>couldn't care less about the new monsters
I think I am finally free

>>1702482
Building? Any weapon you want to try the new balance patch on, they’re boosted to the monster’s level for this event and is a great chance to try weapons out while they’re buffed. The HBG has diverse bulletry but it’s a raw gun, not better than marshmallow’s, the bow is nothing special, and they all have lock on so it’s easy to fit on any build, they’re just not very powerful.
>>1702485
I always feel bad for players who can’t access the good content. As a spoofer I get to do elder dragons every 3 hours and fight all the new monsters all day for their gear, so I don’t know that struggle, but I play this simultaneous with wilds so if it pisses me off I can just go back to the real shit.

>>1702520
anon, I spoof too, you are not special

>>1702539
I don’t think I’m special I’m just projecting a reason someone wouldn’t care about this game if they enjoyed it to begin with. I’m sorry you feel that way, or I’m happy for you being free, whatever works for you

>>1702520
Stop replying to me 30+ BMI muttgolem

>>1702539

Crit Ferocity seems like it's going to be very strong with Raw Power

>>1703041
Oh gee more bone M!
Where the fuck is base camp already

>>1703714
I hope that shit doesn't need 5+ hunters to work, like their stuff in Campfire, I've been saving a lot of rare materials for trade but I bet you will be able to trade only those special items that can be traded for inventory, drift stones, refinement mats
Jeez even a 100 purple or yellow for 1 red would be cool

>out of Fire Herbs for Glave gear
Great. Not this shit again; its always the fucking Fire Herbs. I have an excess of every other herb but im.always running out of Fire

How rare is Glaven going to be after this event ends?

>>1704150
It'll be like Zinogre and Rajang. So don't expect to find them outside of high activity weeks but it'll be really easy to grind them during it

>>1703831
All I want is for it to be a permanent range boost when you're in it
I have two gathering points within drop range

But showing other hunters make me wonder if you get shit from visiting other people's camps or something

So what is the QRD on CB and GL changes?

>>1704507
see for yourself I guess, there's not too much reading >>1701939

CB got a bunch of numbers buffed which makes no difference to me. Also quick work buffs which I haven't tried. No idea about gunlance but this guy had an opinion >>1702473

>>1704726
Quick Work massively increases the Long Sword counter

You can probably do it reactively now

>Implemented a feature that allows you to re-hunt the same species of monster. After successfully slaying a monster, you may use Gems from the Hunt Report screen to search for and re-hunt the same species of monster as the one that was just slain.

This is probably the most "pay-to-not-grind" feature that they've come up with so far

>>1704507
Charge blade is better. GL is worse but they said the charge issue is a bug and they’re working on it. Two improvements are you can insta charge shells after a quick reload and wyrmstaking is super accurate and easy to do now, you can even slam->full burst->immediate wyrmstake.

Question for DB chads, what would be better to focus on, the Magnamalo DB and focus on crits and blast rate, or the Bazelgeuse DB, and focus on Burst Crit Ferocity and Raw Power? I can build both sets but I’m curious if how often you blast is offset by the leap in raw damage.

quick work 3 feels pretty good now

I just realized you can upgrade carnival gear without tickets. Is that a recent change?

So how fucked are we?
https://nianticlabs.com/news/niantic-next-chapter/

>>1706599
From what I can tell based on their other games, we're fucked
I always wonder why Niantic is so focused on AR stuff though; nobody gives a shit about it

>>1706603
>I always wonder why Niantic is so focused on AR stuff though; nobody gives a shit about it
Because it’s a great way for locational data harvesting. Their own executives have already spilled the beans about how governments have been buying their user data collected from games like PoGo, which is probably a massively useful database to have because you’re encouraging people to walk around every square inch of the planet with their camera phones recording the landscape.

>>1706599
Ultra fucked. Expect lots and lots of pay to win stuff to become mendatory.

>>1706631
I understand the user data parts, but without pogo and MHNow, are people really using their other apps? Unless they provide services for other apps that do AR stuff
I guess the AR stuff is just lip service and cute ways for them to just collect user data

>>1706665
>but without pogo and MHNow, are people really using their other apps?
I believe Ingress (their “proto-PoGo”) was pretty popular and continued to be for years because it was an easier way to register areas as PokeStops than it was to do in Go (since their games are all pretty much using the same database of “hot spot” locations). There aren’t nearly as many gathering points in NOW compared to PoGo’s stops, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some players are still downloading services like Ingress to try and force new ones until NOW gets its own method of registering them.

>>1706599
my hope is that they just leave the development to the guys who are working on it but i know in my heart that since its a phone game itll just become pay2win hell in ways we currently cant comprehend. reduced potions per day unless you pay to increase the cap, a timer on hunts unless you pay to remove it, or the classic "upgrading this item has a 50% chance to fail and lose your materials UNLESS you pay for the shop item that saves it"

in fact im almost 100% sure that last one will be coming.

>>1706631
>every square inch of the planet with their camera phones recording the landscape.

wdym? this game doesnt use the camera phone at all unless youre taking cute photos of the monsters in the AR overlay or whatever.

>>1705353
Is it really worth trading Morph Boost over though?

>>1707032
Not this game, but Pokemon Go does. It has you go to Pokestop locations and turn on the AR camera to "scan" the area for certain missions. And of course you have to upload the footage to get credit for it, making it very useful data for surveying spots that pedestrians will be visiting often, since the Google Street View cars can't always go to places that people can on foot.

The AR stuff in NOW is honestly probably just a holdover from the framework that Niantic uses for PoGo, but I can totally see these new guys implementing some kind of "scan these monster tracks in the real world!" minigame.

>>1707097
Yes. Getting more actions in is better than being 10% stronger for a limited time. If quick work can result in >10% more finishers or however many points of morph boost you can get for 3 points of quick work then it’s worth it and also saving your skin leaving you less open.

Well, when this game goes to shit, hopefully the chink monster hunter mobile game it out by then.

>>1708352
>when
lol
lmao, even

Legiana's a perfect example of why Charge Blade needs an overhead attack that isn't ridiculously slow. You lock on to its head by all your attack miss or hit the legs while it's flying

>>1709027
According to this post >>1706237
>With this buff, the combo "ED I (or overhead slam), ED II, overhead slam, ED II, overhead slam, ..." became the combo with the most DPS, tied with "AED, morph to axe, AED, ..."

So you can get good damage by spamming overhead slam. What I don't understand is how to go directly from ED II to overhead slam? Or how to go directly from overhead slam into ED II, for that matter. All I can think of is morphing back to sword and then back into overhead. In which case you could probably make a good morph boost set...

The sale won't go through for a while
They also just released the absolutely heinous premium quests with this too, and since the driftsmelt event also has new premium quests, they're definitely going to be in every event from now on
>just don't buy them
Of course, but boy is it slimy selling 5 plates for that much money

I can't stand Silver Rathalos and Gold Rathian

These things are just blatantly unfun to play against let alone trying to farm by breaking parts.

since when could we search subspecies again

What am I even supposed to Palico tag?
Azure Rathlos was crept to worthlessness by Silver
Black Diabolos by Tigrex
Pink Rathian by Gold Rathian

Should I just go Nightshade because Rude Awakener is a unique gimmick to it? There's Coral Pukei but I feel like Mizu weapons are better

>>1713550
Its for the anniversary

>>1714049
>black diablos power creeped by tired
lol retard

>>1714066
I mean by all means explain why I'd run Black Diabolos over Tigrex/Crit Ferocity if I'm looking to do Raw

I guess I'd have an easier time circumventing the negative Affinity on Diabolos weapons but I'd rather just go for an elemental weakness than that

When are they finally adding the sex with Ayako feature?

>>1714489
you can't afford it

>>1714618

>>1714952
like so many other great community projects, the fragile 1.5yr anniversary token economy will be brought to its knees... who will save us...

spoofbros arent welcome here

I still don’t understand the point of spoofing

>>1711391
Only the first 3 lines are worth right? Then just buy R5 and sell

>>1715822
obviously so you can play this incredibly fun and good monster hunter game from the comfort of your own home anon. its not like theres any kind of alternative monster hunter game that you could be playing at home instead. besides, going outside for a walk is horrible, have you ever felt good being outside? the sun is so bright and it hurts your eyes and people are all staring at you.

>>1711391
Wow, ain't these niggas controversial for predatory microtransactions?

>>1715822
I do it so I can hit 4-5 elder dragons a day and always get enough new monster materials to try on the abilities. Spoofing and sitting down are not mutually exclusive behaviors either, so I don’t have to actually spend my free time walking around with limited gameplay when I already have gym time carved out.

Bad cat

Having a hard time deciding what to get from the exchange hub

I'm thinking Azure Rathalos so I can upgrade the Lance. I hear its supposedly just as good as Silver because higher raw means it takes more advantage of Resentment and Offensive Guard

>>1716868
You're supposed to get everything like in any other mobage, normalfagger

>>1716922
Damn I'm such a casual I only got like 300 tickets

More quests that cost 2250.
Have to buy the $30 pack to get enough gems for it.
This is getting scummy.

squeeEeEEEEEEEEEEE

Uses the new exchange hub to get a bunch of Nightshade Paolumu mats to make a meme build.
Lance Sleep build with Rude Awakener has been auto pilot as fuck so far

>Chadacabra is getting removed from the field
Fuuuuck you, I couldn't even get a single layered armor piece

>>1719022
And here I was hoping they would downgrade it to a common spawn

>>1716057
HUTNING HORN AND FUCKING CHAMELEOS? Fucking hell this game is turning out better then wilds

>>1719613
also I have been away from the game for a while, the new green orb things only drop from 1 star monsters? is there a way to downgrade monsters?

Wander Orb
Before: 480 Gems
After: 150 Gems
Wander Pebble
Before: 280 Gems
After: 100 Gems

In addition to the original effect of a 50% access range boost, these items will now also grant a 2x boost to the number of gathered materials/small monster materials earned.

We plan to re-release past layered equipment sets on a regular basis from now on. This will begin in April with the reissue of the School A/B sets, in addition to a brand new color variation, School C.

An increase to the maximum hunter rank limit is under consideration for the beginning of April.

>>1719814
these... all seem like good things. Strange

>>1720621
it's not that surprising. really almost all of the MHNow updates have been positive.

>>1720720
Dimensional link distance nerf and not showing HR are the only negative ones I can think of

>>1720854
apparently they also released an update that decreased the cooldown between HAT/EDI spawns so if you do a HAT the next one will appear and then expire just before your 180 minutes are up. previously you could sit on a single gathering point and do a new HAT every 180 minutes. whether this is a positive or negative change pretty much depends on whether or not you have a gathering point on your house. only a very feeble-minded hunter would ever complain about this sort of thing, tbdesu.

>>1716057
Also is this just random rumors or what
>>1716070
Looks fun? Is there gameplay anywhere? What did I miss??

>>1721239
No there's no footage. I think that anon was referring to HH gameplay from the main games.

>>1721249
This is the datamined list of songs. Yes it's just "rumors" but it's not hard to mine this stuff and they're basically always correct. Same with PoGo datamining.

>>1721249
>>1721252
Neat. Time to horde

I feel like hammer got a lot stronger with the update
I can (not reliably, but not ball bustingly) kill 10 star rathalos and azurelos with my valor crit ferocity 10.4 deviljho hammer without huge luck on the CF procs
My 10.4 jyura hammer has also killed 10 star volvidon and great girros now too
Lance is definitely better but still doesn't seem that good

>>1721481
Lance is 100x better with the new side step lunge. It still has the same issue of losing a ton of damage not being able to consistently counter attacks in Group Hunts BUT the new side steps helps out a lot more because you can use it to jump into attacks to get a PG for Offensive or Resentment boosts

>>1716305
>p-please respond to my post
Now is a lot less commitment and I don’t have to sit down to play for hours, I can play it on the go, that’s literally the best part. I just don’t want to play where I am geographically located—I can do better.

Thanks chatgpt great post

I'm getting cucked by Earth Crystals now

>>1720854
Honestly, HR stops mattering at some point. I would care more about weapon grade or total defense.

I play this a lot on the bus and have since launch. I started to build every armour to rank 6, and got most of them, also got a decent amount of weapons to rank 9/10. But after always having a lot of zenny I ran out last week. It sucks, got plenty of materials, but I have like 4 weapons that needs 75k to upgrade

Also, how is the Arzuros SwAx? I finally got the armour set to l6, and got a bunch of extra stuff

>>1727758
10 years from now this will be in mainline

>>1733375
I went today in Tokyo near where I live but not really in one of the big busy areas, had 98 or so signups
At the place I walked around and only saw total 10 guys on their phones standing around
I didn't really care for black blos so I just did about 10 and left
They killed 1010 in total though, so good for them

Why is there no timer for when the season ends? I feel like buying a Hunter Pass to get the Premium Season pass but I have no clue if it ends in a month before I get the 2k gems

>>1733622
they start showing the timer a couple weeks before the season ends. idk why. they last 3 months though so you've got until the end of May.

Coom shot hbg or girros gunlance for a paralysis build? What kind of armor would go well with either?

>>1734723
aren't kirin and volvidon weapons better?

What's the best lightning weapon i can use with this amor set? I wanna be pikachu

Sorry meant to upload this, but anyways I'm just using the Karachi LS I crafted as my like 2nd ever weapon, have shot loads of materials, but I'm dumb

>my retarded teammates are so fucking useless they can't even take it down
Wow this is what I get for trusting people. I'm here severely dampening my damage to get you guys better rewards and you 3 retards don't have the damage to take it out even after I broke both it's horns AND knocked it out

>>1736553
for longsword the best thunder weapon is zinogre, slightly above rajang. overall, kirin weapons will be the best if you can build them.

I like this sunset theme. seems like it used to just switch directly from day to night.

its coming...

>>1738874
Why are there 2 Kirin and Glavenus ones?

I'm not getting my hopes up for HH; i highly doubt it'll be anywhere near as fun in the extremely simplified gameplay of Now

This Bow Hunting event made me kinda like them
But man the Elder Dragon Bows are like crazy stronger than the others. Most Bows give you one shot type at its strongest and maybe a 2nd type but slightly weaker but Elder Dragon Bows all come with 2 types at thisr strongest level so the flexibility is much better

>>1738959
Now gameplay is more complex than rise and wilds lmao

Man what tf is wrong witg gunlance sometimes. I'm trying to fer the stupid Wyrmstake into Kushala but my dumbass hunter fires FOUR times before going into the Wyrmstake

I'm playing HBG.
I have magnamalo hbg 7-3.
Now i realised you need to cut tail of 8* monsters to get the endgame loot i'm looking to switch.
SnS good ? I play with my brother who plays LS so no LS for me.

wow it actually happened

>>1743029
You don't need to cut tails for drops; they can drop from any of the 4 normal rewards + group hunt rewards
It's a small chance from the part break, and not all monsters have the rare part from tail cuts
Your brother should be able to cut tails on his own

Really disappointing with the Silver Rathalos weapons
Armor pieces have these cool metallic sheen to them but the Weapons are just Rathalos ones but very bland gray

I decided to stop waiting on IG for my silverlos mats, I give up. Hopefully I can save up for the chameleos IG but we'll see if I cave and make the DB first.

What's the best melee weapon to use for Poisoning?

Gold Rathian Gunlance?

Where to spend following mats

I mainly play HBG. I have no idea what to do with those, they are starting to overwhelm my bags.

>>1749239
Probably
I haven't tried with the new chameleos skill, so it might get even better, but it's easy to get two poisons in one hunt with wyrmstakes
If you're lucky it can proc off the first stake sometimes

>>1749239

so far it holds the most world records for a poison weapon, outperforming even some elementals in its weapon AND monster category. I'm hoping the chameleos IG comes out as soon as this next season is over and I'll have the mats to make the wizard's staff.
>>1749792
the low blast value means you'll be focusing on crit ferocity and highest dps values over slashy blasty strategies, so some good contenders are the switch axe, the long sword, or the lance for the bazel weapons. For tigrex the charge blade is absolutely busted with offensive guard and crit ferocity, but the rest of the weapons are sort of meh. For slos weapons you kind of can't go wrong; the bow is busted, the dual blades are busted, the switch axe, the gun lance, pretty much every weapon it has is very good, except maybe the LBG.
>>1750116
This could be big, or a big fat nothing depending on if they award extra goods for completing the entire 100 challenge rat race. Sure there's lots to buy in the exchange hub but they could put the carrot way out there with a nice exclusive weapon or piece of armor. I'm more curious what the event tab under my gear is going to do, unless it's just a place to organize current event weapons and armor like the bunny hood.

>>1750415
>but they could put the carrot way out there with a nice exclusive weapon or piece of armor
nigga we're in the 2020s this kind of design is toxic because it will make entitled gamer dads who play the game for 10 minutes a week complain that they dont have the time to grind out the 100 levels. the black trophy at 71 is the carrot and anything after that is gonna be pointless

let's see how much you love them later

>>1750439
finally... some fucking content for non shitters

>try 10* trial barioth
>use 10.2 anja dual blades because 40% DB boost
>can barely kill it with that even with nearly flawless gameplay while my blast gunlance can easilly beat the 50 second mission
stupid OP gunlance

>every 10 star monstie needs to be killed in sub 50 seconds
Is that even possible for the high hp ones with anything other than maxed out goldian gunlance with poison exploit 5 and valor 5?

>>1750362
QRD on the hunt later thing
>your game tracks your last 30 minutes of physical activity
>any monster that shows up along that path, you can hunt even when out of range
I walked over to a khezu along my path with my game closed but it didn't tag that one, so I think it only works consistently when you leave your game open. Seems more like a bandaid for if it's raining or there's a group of monsties too many for you to kill without coming to a stop, so I guess this is mostly nice for not having to be glued to your screen 24/7 during your walk

>>1750439
>Use a sleep weapon
>Lumu LBG doesn't count

I am also stuck in the trial quests we are like the same haha me and you in together! ganbatte owo!

>>1753135
wow you're so good at this game i kneel bestie you're really underselling yourself! im nowhere near as talented as you haha <3

Rangedtroon are you okay? Rangedtroon are you okay? Are you okay rangedtroon?

Do Attack Boost procs stack?
Say for example I take damage from a Perfect Guard does it activate both Offensive Guard and Resentment or does the higher value activate only?

>CB boost doesn't apply to trial quests
it's over

>>1755943
yes, both
if you see the card pop up then it's active

my prayers have been answered. they must really be trying to keep people engaged.

>>1756767
Kinda lame they gave different values to them though.
1 Silver Rathalos or Gold Rathian every other day is pretty lame.

Its especially lame for Rathalos because of how it makes basically every other fire weapon irrelevant for being so insanely better

>>1756827
Not weird at all considering how much more OP metal rath gear is compared to everything non elder

wow this general died off fast

bestie I gotta admit I am losing hope

>>1757669
>not going for the TCS on the tail after breaking the arm
That would've been a big one

ayako sexo duh what did you think was gonna be under this spoiler?

wait... THAT ayako!? pfffahahahaha

that could literally be any ayako. idk it doesn't look familiar okay let's just try to stay on topic.

I'm starting to think this is possible. I can get more damage from perfect dodging rather than tackling, I guess. also it would be great to dodge the roar but that never ever seems to work.

>>1759505
Ill give you some tips tomorrow theres a lot more ways you can get more damage out of this

>>1759505
Alright first off, you hit 3 tackles against Magna's head. If you had done 2 more he would've KOd and that's a free full charge. Just do two more of those roll tackles that you did at 0:16

Like this guy said >>1758330 you against wasted a full charge tcs opportunity after the arm break. Idk if you're not reacting fast enough or not or just thought it was out of range, either you need to try to internally keep track of the arm's break threshold and make a calculated commitment to perform an attack that breaks > immediate full charge, or you need to limit test your range more because greatsword's range is much higher than that

Lastly Magnamalo can start out in 3 modes which all give him different AI patterns, based on what part of his body he infuses with hellfire, plus the body part that's infused becomes much weaker
>head
Just reset if he does this one because not only does he get to rage mode a lot faster than the other 2, the first 2 attacks he does are spastic as fuck and you're not gonna find a decent opening
>tail
Starts out with a lunging tail stab (great opportunity to hit a TCS on his arm), then throws hellfireballs (very easy to perfect evade), then does a tailslam (long downtime that will let you hit a fat charge)
>arm
Best one to start out with because you want to be aiming for the arms in the first place, not the head. There's 2 topples you can get out this and if you wanna minmax your damage you really need those full charge attack windows. Also very abuseable, he will always start with that arm stomp at 0:03 and it has a tiny hitbox. You just have to roll left once and then you can hit a full charge on his arm and then you're basically halfway towards toppling him. After claw stomp he will always do the explosions, which is another easy opening granted you're positioning for the purpose of attacking his arms in the first place. See picrel to see where it's save to stand. You can do 2 full charges in a row this way

>>1760244
With the arm pattern you're also able to save your TCS to a better window, which brings me to the last suggestion: figure out a spreadsheet for yourself where you can expect him to enrage and use that as your TCS opening. Generally it's based on damage done to him. Also after he enrages, he will again do that explosion pattern so needless to say that's about when you should get your guaranteed 2nd partbreak and by then he'll mostly be dead

Here I pulled a first try 10 star out of my ass to see my approach in practice. It's full of errors too and I still get the kill but that can be partially attributed to Valor being stupid OP. I don't even use element up on my sets anymore, even unupgraded armor pieces for Valor 3 is probably better than element attack up

new stuff and hh gameplay

>shinpoop
not watching

>>1760244
>>1760246
it's good advice, especially regarding the 3 starting modes. the last piece might be to keep track of his enrage like you describe.

this run was after like 30 more attempts by the way I am sweating here

>Now is getting style customization
Uhmmmmmm KINO DEPARTMENT CALLED

>>1761591
I don't play any other mobile games, but I can't imagine any of them getting better consistently as time goes on; very strange
this game is more fun than fucking Wilds at this point

>>1761864
pokemon go would consistently get new features that made the game better but it was fundamentally a boring game and was too dependent on living in a city

are we tired of winning yet?

finally got it! I've probably fought this dumb cat 100 times trying to beat his trial quest. this is my set. I don't know why it's so shit... I really thought I had 5 water attack but oh well. the gs is 9.2. very happy to be done with this and now moving on to legiana.

>>1762755
congrats cutie im happy for you, you for sure have a much better early and midfight approach and earned this victory

>>1762639
>no insect glaive
I grow weary of waiting. But scopely has done a nice job improving the game in my opinion.
>>1752760
Impressive, I’m pretty much stuck with Magnamalo 10* because I don’t have the Mizu GS with boosted damage. Feels bad man.

>gee trainer, wouldn’t you like to spend gems right now…?? Please?

>>1763342
they added lots of IG battle logic in the v100 update, it's obviously coming next season, just wait for it you zoomer

I see people say the HH special replenishment song is good, but in my testing with it on trial quest Khezu with valor 5 with glav HH, I can get 3 total SPs off with or without it

Beotodus is unironically the hardest monster in the game wtf

First 10 star riftborne

Riftborne monsters feel shit. Especially them having their own r6. HOWEVER - Are any weapon customizes actually unironically worth it?

im kinda mad scarcestones aren't rarity 7

>>1767369
>their own r6
lol lmao even
they have 3 r6, the regular one, the new one and the riftborne one

just did a 10 star HaT wroggi and the 3 retards died like 25 times combined plus couldnt even get 1 KO off with 2 HHs

>>1767369
I appreciate being able to have only slashing damage for tails on SnS

Riftborne Rathian... Vanquished...

In Pokemon Go you could invite people from your friends list to join a raid remotely. Why is this not a feature in MHNow where all the raid are done with remote players anyway? EDIs would be so much better if I could play with my friends instead of randoms.

At what level can dual blades chop off tails with the special skill? I don't have enough zeny to go balls deep into 10.5

>>1773569
i think around 9, you could get a partbreaker 5 set if the only thing you want is break tails tho

>>1774036
Well I'd like to be able to kill the monster in time too, so part breaker 5 seems like waste of time, I want to help a friend, since most of the rare drops come from cut tails I wanted to make a build for it.
I'm using glavenus head and chest, bazelgueuse arms, tigrex belt and arzuros legs and using arzuros dual blades too, at 8.3 I can cut the tail from 6 stars monsters with just one special skill, haven't tried with 7 stars yet

>lavasioth got a monster id for season 8
volcano map coming soon?

1 bitch left and he’ll be considerably easier because I can use valor on him

>>1778181
Valor doesn't work on the hellfire engine roar, at least I don't remember it working on my HBG set

Why the fuck are Beotodus so hard?

Rathalos or Pink Rathian HH?
Rathalos has general element up so it helps other Hunters who bring a different weakness than Fire
Or should I just do Gold Rathian for the Crit Elem?

>>1778338
rathalos is fire
pink is poison
none of them are good
silverlos and goldian are coming next week iirc
they are better fire and better poison
just wait for them and farm them

hbg is so bad...

>>1778181
Ez

>>1778214
It doesn't but Silver Rath does a regular roar after his first 2 attacks, at least in melee distance

raw weapon with an okay build can take down the vast majority of 10 stars, right?

>>1780176
I've killed every 10* using magnamalo gunlance except for Jho, if you want to count that as raw
A poison exploit build is OP too and can kill everything

>>1780176
no, it might kill some and some other with more than perfect gameplay along with the perfect smelts on the armor but it can certainly kill most 9*

>SP boost 5
I grinded those driftsmelts out for outbreaks and i didnt have 5 aggressive dodgers to play around yet. I tried to get the clear with what i already had and it workes out. They buffed it in S5 and its actually pretty good now for general purpose damage boost

>>1781228
>You just called Rathian a gunlance
sorry I'm just trying to emulate my favorite mhnow youtube idols but I don't know anything at all about anything
>outbreaks
I've never even seen one of these. they must be confined to population centers. or was it a temporary event?

What's the Hunting Horn build? I've only been getting good results with Crit Ferocity builds because I have no clue how to build normally.

Blunt Force and Crit?

>>1782407
They did one beta test for it so i guess it wasn’t available for everyone. Ive only seen them/bases in the center of cities so far, 2 of them. Basically in an outbreak you get an infinite respawning 8 star node for an hour and when you’re grinding them with 4 people, you dont even get an opportunity to perfect dodge everything. Its optimal to pop your premium steakerinos and specspam

>>1783012
if I swiped right on the middle egg would she die?

Man why the fuck would these people design Silver Rathlos like this

Its an attrociously unfun fight. The things constantly attack, always flying, has resistance everywhere, and all its attacks are enormous and do stupid damage

>>1783583
>Man why the fuck would these people design Silver Rathlos like this
japanese people call him "potion thief", go figure

>>1783583
Hes the only monster in the game who had various timings for a single attack and its so fucking gay but also based

It's been days why am I the only one that wears the puzzle hat?

I hate Long Gunlances
They're all essentially the same weapon with a different skill.
Like I really shouldn't still be using Anja for Fire

>>1784678
because i am no walking AD
>>1784725
the optimal long GL is jho's as it has artillery 1 in it

>>1784678
ikr

Man I just love having a shield
Its crazy how much easier a Silver Rathlos is when I can just block its attacks

When elder dragons take 150% elemental damage, is it just the elmental part x1.5 or is raw+ele combined x1.5?

>>1785183
Just the elemental

new weapon and armor stats are OUT

If I started the game later I wouldn't have wasted all the time and resources on garboge weapons

>>1784725
>>1784772
You can get 5 artillery with 3 pieces now, Magnamalo gunlance is way better and it can kill every 10 star except Jho

I think WGS rate has been drastically increased.

What's the go-to spoofing method for this one? I use pgsharp for pogo, is there a hacked client like that?

>>1786561
any pgsharp like tool will get your account banned and there are no strikes in this game, you get outright banned the first time
the only safe spoofing method is root + lposed + magisk + gps joystick by the appninjas

Veteran here, I think making a new account will get me more out of this game. Progression is half the fun.

I've got so much bullshit in my inventory because everything needs something. What can I safely sell without regretting it later?
