Those songs just ensure that eventually you’ll win, not that you’ll be quick about it. Attack Up (L) is only a better buff if you're teaming up with three people that you know can pull their weight. For SOS pubbies, I take no chances.

Idk why everyone is talking like you need wide range as though there aren't already items that heal everyone in the room without it. Play a little mp and give some likes out and the mail cat will just give you a huge stack of them.

The trader will ask you to deliver some account items. Not sure if there's specific hunts to trigger that or if it's just general raising HR.

Worth noting is that the Bead of Resonance switch skill apparently plays the Attack Up song whenever you do a performance, even if your horn doesn't have Attack Up.

I complained a few days ago that the game didn't tell you this, and someone responded that it is actually right in the switch skill menu where you can change it. I'm not going back to find that post to reply to it, but please know that that person was right and I was wrong and bad at reading, apparently.

The only tier list I care about is what weapons are the most popular, then I stay away from those weapons because I like a bit of diversity. Right now I’m seeing tons of long swords as usual, but also a TON of light bowguns. Everything else seems pretty even, except I very rarely see Lance, heavy bowgun, or insect glaive.

Lance was rare to see in World, too. It's not a very flashy weapon and its mechanics (especially movement) are awkward at first, so yeah, not much use despite being rather easy to use very well. When I see a Lance requesting help, I'll SOS them immediately and we'll poke the thing to death  .

I play a ton of insect glaive but I rarely take it online because I feel like I'm not good enough with it to do it justice and I'm just going to look like a stupid spinning fool. I get bugstick anxiety apparently, like no matter how well I play, I'm gonna get smacked out of the air at some point and everyone will go "hah look at that dumbass, shoulda stayed on the ground"

The Rampage horn also has Attack/Affinity Up in one of the alternate song lists.

LBG is great for survivability on a bunch of fights, like it kind of trivializes a lot of Magnamalo’s attacks (just keep walking left). And it’s great for breaking parts other weapons might have trouble with. I also like loading up status ammo and helping the team with big openings. But real answer? It is insanely satisfying to wirebug leap over a downed monster’s head, shoot a mine onto it, and then watch as all the attacks on it from teammates just explode for a little while. Also pretty great to leap over a charge to do that. Have trouble deciding between it and Hunting Horn, and I still need to try out Insect Glaive in Rise. I’d spend all my time in the air in World just because that was more fun. Will be nice to see that they upped the damage for doing that now.

There's also a damage multiplier that gives you bonus aerial damage the longer you stay in the air, and building up the full bonus before doing a Diving Wyvern is textbook

I realized last night that I had been misunderstanding the swaxe condensed element finisher or whatever it is called (the spin rather than ZSD) switch skill, largely from not paying enough attention to its description. I was treating it like ZSD and waiting to get amped state first, but that doesn't actually matter, nor does the amount of phial juice remaining since it blows it all anyway. It does appear to give a big chunk of charge for axe mode if you land it, though. I need to play around with it more and see if it is a static amount or scales with phial juice remaining when you do it. It seems like a skill tailored for people who want to largely use axe mode since I think on the whole its damage is probably a bit worse than ZSD and it's not really much safer. It seems probably also best paired with invincible gambit rather than the dive, since you won't have anything left to make use of the dive after. Downside is if you whiff it or miscalculate how much you'd get, then there goes all the gauge you'd been building.

Fun fact: getting 2 points in muck resistance makes you immune to the damage of almudron’s toxic pools as well as the slow. I can’t think of a bigger impact two small slot decos can make for that fight.

Doing a full ZSD and using the dive bomb to cancel out of the knockback is already the coolest thing you can do, and you have to give it up to use condensed finisher. It would have to be really drat good.

Using horn, do I want to be using Melodic Trio as much as possible for damage, or are there better combos? Also has anyone ever actually hit anything with the X silkbind because I sure as hell haven't  (e) Also also, where're the iframes in the zR attack, I thought it'd be while the hunter's breakdancin' but that doesn't seem quite right

If you do a few sword hits, then compressed discharge, then switch charger you'll end up topped off and ready to go ham in sword mode.

I don’t know how to get this to work, every time I try to zL + X out of a ZSD while I’m flying back through the air it doesn’t do anything and I have to wait to get back up. What am I missing with ZSD plus dive bomb?

For Insect Glaive, is there a way to remove the kinsect marker other than sheathing? Having a speed-type kinsect locked onto a marked body part is great right up until you need to get your triple buff back.

It doesn't work if you try spam it out, you have to wait until after the apex of the knockback or so. e: wait that's not even true, I just did it immediately after the explosion. I'm not sure other than there is a way to do it wrong. v: I could consistently do the really early one by holding zl and left stick towards while spamming the x button for the ZSD.

I'm using the first gen version, the d pad is way better than the switch pro controller and I prefer the symmetrical sticks. It doesn't do NFC so you can't scan amiibo and it's 3rd party so it can't wake the switch from sleep but overall I prefer it over the switch pro.
