I know some purists probably disagree, but I love the crafting mat requirement changes. I feel like I can build more than 1-2 weapon types without endless farming now.

Also I think food buff persists through death now? Or at least the max health/stamina component does?

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I’ve seen people mention the switch axe has different modes but I don’t see those in the switch skills - are there literally different weapon trees with different play styles? Very cool if so, I know Gunlance has different shelling types which I never understood It has an axe mode and a sword mode if you're speaking motion-wise, and has a few phial types which dictate what sword mode's elemental discharges and charged state will do to the monster. Elemental does what it says on the box, while power boosts your raw damage by that amount instead. There are a few others, like status and exhaust phials, but I've never really messed around with those. It's not as fundamentally different in approach as the Gunlance with its shell types, but the differences in attack or additional damage boosts do help if you're leaning more into discharges.

Bleh. Don't get the hori split pad if you intend to put dpad buttons on the back buttons. You can't cross map. Meaning the right handle can only map buttons physicaly on it. And vice versa for the left.

Made it through the 1-star hub quests and I have to say that the wirebugs make such an incredible difference with how to approach monsters with the Gunlance that I am definitely going to be going for Quick Sheath this time around. Being able to zip around like that in a flash is very powerful stuff.

Is it just me or does hammer have virtually 0 friendly fire? Even on smaller monsters I don’t see myself hitting allies often but I also don’t use the spin charge often

Magnamalo is such a fun fight with CB, so many counter saed opportunities. victrix posted:I was going to do charge blade but I forgot how miserable it is without duration extenders and amplifiers coming from late game iceborne... I'm not finding it to be bad thanks to the counter phial fill up. I don't think I'd even get focus at all and cap boost (load shells) seems not worth either anymore MMF Freeway fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Mar 27, 2021 |

Silk bind block into x with red shield fills sword and phials. Silk bind counter into xa saed. I almost never really have to worry about extends. It even feels like my red shield is extended on successful silk bind counters You get even less maint on savage axe cause it builds it's own phials. And you can silk bind counter to x to insta swap into spintime. Skipping the condensed blade charge. Kilazar fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Mar 27, 2021 |

Switch Ax feels a lot better to play if you don’t use one with Power Phial. The other types charge to Amped State way way faster. You get way more explosions.

Can someone please explain capturing to me? In every Monster Hunter I've played it never works and I just waste all my poo poo. I was fighting the giant bear thing, it had run away a bunch and was weakened, I got the voice prompt that it was weak and could be captured. Dropped a stun trap, lured it into it, and started throwing all my tranq bombs in its face while it was trapped. Threw four in a row and as I was throwing my fifth it just walked out of the trap. The trap lasted for maybe five seconds and I was chucking bombs as fast as I could into it and landed all of them but it still just broke the trap. What am I doing wrong?

Wait until you see the blue icon under the monster in the upper corner. Or more reliably wait for them to limp away and set traps in their lair while they sleep.

I didn't check the icon but I got a voice prompt where my guy yelled "IT'S WEAK! YOU CAN CAPTURE IT NOW!" so I thought that was the signal. Does he just randomly yell that sometimes for no reason? Also wasn't dropping them, was using ZL to aim and throw. Does that not capture monsters?

PSA for all the cool kids who rock the Charge Bae. I don't think the game was explicit on this point, but Morphing Advance can be used when you're already in Axe Mode, AS WELL AS SAVAGE AXE!!! The added mobility takes your Chainsaw Battle-Axe game to the next level. I'm still on 4-Star missions, but I'm absolutely clowning on everything I come up against so far. Also I fuckin' love the return of all the monster-specific weapons.

They seem to notice you if you're nearby. I had this happen with Aknosom where I was like in the entry way leading into their nest area and it roared and blitzed right at me.

I assumed every skill swap unlock gave every weapon something, but like, the order is different? At least, the first time I got new skills every weapon got something, but the number beside each weapon's skill was different.

Note on shrapnel shot: Fun. Hits 3-4 body parts at the same time. Plus the small mons nearby. Basically everything in the center-ish part of the screen. Using the low tier Shotgun LBG you pretty much point it in the general direction and hit EVERYTHING. Also, dunno if it’s just that gun or all guns, but spread shot fires 3 bullets split horizontally in a tight grouping as well.

Iymarra posted:Can you please explain this a bit further for those of us new to charge blade, please? In Iceborne, the expansion for MonHun World, they added a new playstyle to the CB, less focused on landing the big flashy money-shot hit, Super Amped Elemental Discharge, or SAED. Instead, your shield would start spinning while in axe mode, effectively turning it into a giant chainsaw that lands multiple hits per hit. In Rise, the first Switch Ability for CB is to swap out the move that charges your sword for the ability to CHARGE BLADE GO BRRRRR. The main downside to this would be the drastically reduced mobility, except that in Rise we have wirebugs now. CB's ZL+X is the Morphing Slash, that launches you a good bit forward and morphs you from Sword+Shield mode to Axe mode. The game doesn't really spell it out for you that you can use Morphing Advance when you're already in Axe Mode (or Savage Axe, which is what spinny-chainsaw-shield was called in Iceborne) and it doesn't morph you out of Axe or Savage Axe mode, so it's a wonderful upgrade that lets you stay on Mons and shred their faces. You want to first charge your shield with your phials to maximize your damage, then ZR+A to start a charge, but "interrupt" it with X, which you will hold for just a bit, like less than 2 seconds. It will be pretty obvious when you're good to go. VERY IMPORTANT in Rise, when attacking in Savage Axe mode you have to HOLD the attack button during the hit to get the multi-hit. X will do regular attacks that (new in Rise) charge your phials, and A will use the phials to do extra damage. You want to alternate your A attacks though, or you'll combo into a SAED and exit Savage Axe mode, which would be a tragedy because why would you ever want to do that? X+A will go straight into an SAED. The other, less important reason that people are excited for the return of Savage Axe is that SAED's hit window got narrowed in Rise so it's harder to land, so that playstyle is much more risky. I have wiffed a LOT of SAED in my day. But like I said, that's a secondary concern because Savage Axe is just SO FUCKIN' COOL.
