In Training posted:I've been using the full anja with hammer and it's a match made in heaven It seems super good for hammer! I only have the gloves but 2 attack boost and 2 slugger is crazy I have tried some Focus and it's actually not really as good as I thought it would be? Maybe I'm using it wrong but I never really felt like my charge needed to be 10% faster or whatever I've been looking online a bit and people seem to think Slugger endgame is not as useful as having just more levels of attack or weakness hit or whatever but I love knocking out monsters 4 times a hunt

also, a PSA in case anyone didn't know; you can dodge-cancel the recovery animation on wyvern riding attacks to attack way more. As such: https://i.imgur.com/heCNJGO.mp4 you also don't have to do the finisher immediately so using this you can sneak in a few hundred extra free damage

Yeah + if you wait to use the punisher sometimes they'll be ready to get up before the bar is empty, and can get a second knockdown out of it

I would try to do cool counterattack stuff more often but there's so little downtime where I'm not charging up an attack Another good tip for mounting, if you're hunting say, a Rathian, and another monster comes in and slaps it and you get the option to mount the Rath, if you use Y to launch it into the enemy it will let you then mount the other enemy, letting you get a ton of free damage toward the monster you actually want to kill

You can also use Dash Breaker to ignore roars, it's amazing.THE AWESOME GHOST posted:It seems super good for hammer! I only have the gloves but 2 attack boost and 2 slugger is crazy Focus ain't great on Hammer since you sometimes actually want to use the level 2 sliding uppercut, and Focus reduces your window for that. Maybe not as relevant for Rise since you do get a sliding move on level 3 with Strength stance. Also unlike a weapon like Bow, you're not using charges as soon as you get them so Focus doesn't help land more charge attacks. It's not like the faster charge will let you do two smashes instead of just one nor does it increase the speed enough that you can smash in openings you previously couldn't. Slugger is firmly in the nice to have category, it's not as good as it sounds because of how status buildup and resistance works in MH. I like it for multiplayer more than solo.

I use both Slugger and Stamina Thief because it means I get at least six times per fight where a monster is completely KO'd on the ground and tons more times where a monster is just standing around for free hits

Like I know I played SWaxe in this and didn't like it as much but maybe it's just Hammer is so much more fun it ruined other weapons for me

RazzleDazzleHour posted:I checked the list and this time, almost every monster is weak to fire, so I made the only LBG that can rapidfire the Piercing Fire ammo. Holy poo poo, either the build is completely unusable or you need a TON of skills to make it work because I used up absolutely all of my ammo and it still took 30 minutes to kill Basarios. Uh, Basarios is literally a rock. You want water or dragon on that one.

In MH:W, I've noticed the training room doesn't give you the full list of combos? Cause I've been doing some stuff freestyle and noticing different names for the moves that don't show up anywhere on the training list tips. Do I have to trial and error the remaining movesets or am I stupid and not seeing it?

Thanks, sure would have been nice for the training room to hint that they're incomplete. I discovered some really great moves, I've also switched from the Buster (I'm decent with it but it requires 100% brainmode focus to anticipate the monster moves) to the Axe Switch which I love way more and I kick rear end with.

Orange Crush Rush posted:So for people that have played a lot of Monster Hunter, I gotta ask; Back in Tri he spent so much time up in the air and out of melee reach we had to have a guy main bowgun and everyone brought full flashbombs, it was terrible. He's nimble and aggressive in rise, which is what he should be, but I still bring all my flashbombs. I can easily believe he was ten times worse in MH1 and 2.

Orange Crush Rush posted:So for people that have played a lot of Monster Hunter, I gotta ask; Eh, kind of but not really. He was way easier prior to Tri/3, which completely changed up his moveset and made him spend a lot more time in the air. He did have this stupid "Rathalos world tour" move where he flew around the skybox for like a solid 15 seconds before the doing a super easy to avoid swoop attack.

The bigger, better version of the Binbok joycons is available to buy again. They only list then when stock trickles in: https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Wireless-Replacement-Adjustable-Original/dp/B08ZH4XXNY/ The only difference from the excellent Hori Split Pad is this has motion control, works wirelessly, and built in batteries which charge when the switch is charged. Motion control is the main feature, I'd go with the Hori if that's not a big deal to you as it's cheaper and easily the most popular. Both the Hori and this Binbok have the full size controller layout with dpad and buttons offset from the sticks. Most joycons replacements have them aligned and are less broad than these. Got my Binbok yesterday and stopped playing on the TV with a DS4, my favourite controller. It's so good to have a decent set of joycons to use in handheld mode.

Unfortunately Rise has the same resistance to flash as he did in Iceborne. And he's way more nimble now. He's actually quite fun. Rathian is still the same chump she always was tho

Diephoon posted:Hammer chat: charged impact crater feels so good every time it lands SO good It's even better when you can do a big heavy combo and still have the chance to do charge > switch to yellow > full charged impact crater as the monster gets up (it is on the ground, knocked out, because you are a hammer user) Like I know I just keep saying it but I had a good time with World, enjoyed it as my first real MH I got into, got to HR, and just stopped. Never did the HR endgame farm or that much multiplayer, just saw it as a fun action RPG I played for a bit Rise, to me, is better in every way and I think Hammer is a big part of it The wirebug movement is so fun and fluid and I can't believe I was playing a MH game without it The wirebug specials give some really good nice finishers to weapons that didn't have them - I think this is part of the reason I am less big on Switch Axe this time around. Who needs a big finisher when every weapon has a big finisher Hammer is so, so fun.It's incredible simple (Press button to bonk, hold button to bonk more) but it feels like when you're just focusing on the simplicity of "Hit Monster in Head" you learn so much about the monsters and the game and it's clicking with me much more than World ever did I was doing some low ranks with a friend yesterday and I switched back to Swaxe to practice a bit and I was just like I should play hammer again

So why switch to yellow? Seems like blue is better in every way, though I guess I’m basing that mostly on its level 3 moves. Sometimes I only remember to switch when i accidentally do yellow’s spinning level 3. Does your hammer do more damage in yellow?

Changing to yellow instantly gives youn a level 3 charge so you can do a thing and (relatively) quickly follow it up with an impact crater or something. That's mostly it tho

My favorite thing about Impact Crater is that the second damage number comes from you hitting the ground so hard the ground breaks and hits the monster from below as hard as you just hit it from above.
