What does Close Range Coating on Bows actually do? Does it just buff the big goofy arrow swing or is it like a buff to shooting stuff while being right up in its junk?

So for elemental/status numbers, you basically just add a zero on the end to make it like it would've looked in previous games, yeah? Kut-Ku's GS had like 22 Fire, so it'd be 220? Just making sure I got this before I go upgrading things.

I mained SnS in 4U but its weapon arts make it more satisfying for me to use in Generations. Especially getting a KO with Shoryugeki!

Are there any resources on how defense (the stat) works? I just realised I've been neglecting to upgrade my armor for a long while, and I just finished my Nargacuga set so I decided to upgrade it and... It's 172 defense vs. my other assorted sets which are around 60 defense.

This may have been brought up, but about ten pages have gone by since I last pulled myself out of game long enough to check this thread: Whenever I save, there is a slight catch in the audio. I've never seen this happen in any prior MH games and I was just wondering if anyone else has that happen. Also, is there any way to back up your saves in this game? I've been a bit nervous as I had an issue in which the nu3DSXL wasn't recognizing the SD card right after I downloaded MHX and the theme that came with it the day they came out. It culminated in my system being unable to recognize anything (software, themes, badges, etc) until I restarted and deleted the theme. Everything sorted out after that and I've since redownloaded the theme without issue so I assume some files were just corrupted for whatever reason. But still, I'm 70 hours in and would hate to lose it.

I've been having fun with the Hunting Horn recently, just constantly playing little tunes with my attacks and then triggering them. But am I doing any damage? Is it worth my time to just be playing tunes the entire fight, or is there a bread and butter combo I should be doing between R presses?

I'm trying out the bowguns some more and I'm so garbage at using different shots (as well as picking weapons which have good ones)  I also don't understand how anyone manages to use the Heavy Bowgun solo because it's sooo slow and the main draw requires you to stand still which I can't imagine doing against 90% of the Monsters I've fought (since the time between their attacks is super short). I went Adept with both, and it's great to be able to adept evade out of siege mode but I can still only get like 1-2 shots off before the enemy is right up in my face again.

Should I always be trying to aim for the head regardless of weapon, or is it still okay if I hit other body parts? I'm poo poo awful at positioning, and always end up hitting Tetsu's side or legs. I'm wondering if that's why it takes me so long to kill them.

Your Computer posted:I'm trying out the bowguns some more and I'm so garbage at using different shots (as well as picking weapons which have good ones) You're only meant to go into siege mode when you have a large opening to get several shots in. It takes too long to go in and out of it in the middle of a fight. But when a monster is tripped, it's a great time to go hog wild. You're better off just firing normal shots when the monster is running around. When you watch people do speed runs, they'll be in siege mode a lot of the time. Because they'll be rocking end game equips and will make the monster flinch constantly. Especially when using pierce against the bigger guys. If the monster is constantly in your face for pierce you might want to invest in the evade distance skill. It'll help a lot with repositioning.

Still, maybe it's just because I'm bad at the weapon but it doesn't really feel powerful enough to deserve being that slow to me, especially stuff like the reload animation and sheathe/unsheathe and the fact that you have so few shots per clip. That said, anyone got good recommendations for Good™ bowguns (both types) at around Village 5?

As others have mentioned it changes the critical distance minimum to point blank. But it also gives you white sharpness on your melee attack, normally it has green sharpness.

Head usually (but not always) takes the most damage so for early monsters yeah. Plus most of them only have head breaks and they drop rare parts from them. If you break Tetsu's big tusks in particular he gets a lot less threatening since his rock balls get way smaller, he scoops slower and when he breaks them you don't stagger. Later on Monsters get more breakable parts you will want to aim for, and being in front of/near their head can sometimes be stupid or impossible.

Do you need to do something specific to unlock the crafting of gear from hyper monsters? I have the materials to make several pieces of this set but it doesn't show up in the crafting list.

Horn is really strong, and you don't have to worry about bouncing since you should have the attack deflection buff at all times along with movement speed. Your R itself actually does decent dmg too, last time I checked, so I usually try to buff while hitting the monster, and then play a song while hitting the monster. The double note also makes replaying/reapplying songs really easy too since you can play a buff, and then aim to hit the monster twice with your X-X song, and play that in order to play your last song again very quickly, since double notes play two songs. Basically the addition of double note encourages you to hit the monster and means you don't necessarily have to encore all your songs now. Course, you could also use the art that turns all your notes in doubles too if you wanna play it safe, and buff like a boss. I also use the X-A-X-A combo whenever I feel like just bashing the monster though, since I've been running aerial so that's become my main combo that's not a song.

I would just add that, if you're in a group with a hammer or a hunting horn, try to give them some priority on the head. Focus on the tail, if possible. The hammer and hunting horn have the best chance of stunning the monster with their attacks, so it's best to let them do their thing. They'll definitely end up cracking it open in the process. I mostly mention this because it sucks to have a long sword bro ignoring the tail and knocking me around at the head.

Yeah, I managed to stun Tetsu a couple times when I did solo Aerial Hammer, but even then I still got my rear end kicked. Maybe I should play multiplayer more often. Clearly, solo requires different strategies than multi.

Wait, the basic WW song reapplies the previous song as well as the WW effect? Is that new to this game? I've noticed two song effects popping up sometimes and figured it was just reminding me of another buff I had or something.

Double notes (aka. when you hit the enemy) will play the current song and the previous song. Gives you an incentive to actually attack the monster and not just stand around hitting the air to play songs.

It probably can't be used like a windows restore point and revert to an earlier iteration of the save data. Nintendo has such a bizarre digital software setup.

Your Computer posted:I'm trying out the bowguns some more and I'm so garbage at using different shots (as well as picking weapons which have good ones) Aerial style is so broken for solo HBG and it's hilarious. Rolling out of siege makes it easier to use, you do a ton of damage safely from the air, and you don't really lose much in arts since most of the HBG ones seem weak or not worth it. Basically use X+A to launch over the monster and press X when you land to go straight into siege while facing the monster. You get a ton of free shots while it takes its sweet time repositioning and flinching from your shots, and then you just roll away and use aerial rolls to get distance again. Feels great with the nargacuga set's evade extender in LR. As for a good gun around that rank, get the Najarala one. Sieges Normal S2 for cheap and effective ammo against anything, and holds a ton of pellet shots for using while you learn the gun. Can fire Para for online play and has some okay internal ammo in Sting/Armor/Dung(?). Plus it just looks dang cool. I believe it can upgrade into Seregios gun, which reloads an ammo on rolls if you wanna switch to adept style once you get a feel for gunning. (plus it seiges piercing I think?)

This is basic, but sheathe the HBG if you need to move quickly. I could use some bowgun recommendations for late LR myself, looking to transfer from HBG to elemental and status gunning with LBG but not sure where to start.
