Any recommended things I should build with narwa mats? Didn't see anything that stood out when I looked.

I really don't know what they were thinking with the ibushi/narwa armor. A big jumble of skills is cool and all, but give them some drat slots at least

Are elemental damage types and bonuses from armor/decorations only if you use the particular elemental ammo type (I'm LBG this game). Or does it have a chance to add the element to any ammo used?

It came up a few pages ago, but here's a video on Elemental damage in Rise (looking specifically at thunder/fire dual blades). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF351WOBZ6Y Boss weapon spoilers at 5:20, skip from maybe 5:10 to 6:10 if you're worried about that. Didn't notice anything during the Fire stuff but I'm not going to go back and check again. Some comparisons of pure raw vs raw+elemental damage at around 12:10, and again at around 20:30.

Anyone got any tips for a veteran GS main trying to get used to the CB (in Rise)? I understand how the weapon works, but I'm having some trouble getting used to the flow. This is my current setup:   I'm not done farming up all the decorations (another point in both Artillery and Speed Sharpening), and the charm currently gives Rapid Morph 2, but should be Weakness Exploit 2 instead. I think my biggest issues are: Aiming the AED correctly (I whiff a lot), canceling out of the SAED into the AED consistently, and knowing when it's appropriate to switch from sword and shield to axe mode via the Condensed Spinning Slash.

I always hated the Lance, thought it was so slow and frustrating. Then I just saw these two videos and slapped together some bullshit Lances and cobbled together bits of armour and proceeded to set a new PB on nargacuga (5min45sec), just imitating what these guys did. Holy hell is this fun.

The real answer is that none of the final boss's weapons are done yet, hell they even have I (1) next to their names. You might be safe in assuming they will eventually become better, maybe even best in their class, at some point, and build them just for safety's sake.

Learn the kinsect cancel if you haven't already. It really transformed my ground game into this whirling mass of death, also super useful for cancelling overzealous combos.

Something a friend pointed out that's kind of funny about Narwa/Ibushi weapons is that they have high sharpness respective to their colours. Narwa weapons have lots of yellow sharpness and Ibushi have a lot of blue.

It has ice/thunder but in very limited clip size. What's the thunder element exploit LBG you're talking about? I didn’t see this answered in the last couple pages and I’m curious as well.

Unlocked 6* Village and I guess this is the last set of village quests? There's no key quests to speak of and there's a handful of double monster quests in there so it feels like the last bit of stuff before I can cheat promote my way into HR in the hub. Weird that there's just apparently no LR version of Rakna-Kadaki.

Pushing L to focus on the monster? I've tried that before, didn't really seem to work. I also feel like when I try spiral thrust, there's way more of a wind up and the camera is way more zoomed in on me (that might be a setting I can change somewhere).

You can zoom out the camera, options, camera, all the way at the bottom, camera distance. Also, I'm just free wheeling it, and it's not too bad. You really want to aim for head or tail to get the crit, and sometimes you might want to dash past to get out than dashing in.

Batterypowered7 posted:canceling out of the SAED into the AED consistently Two ways to make this easier by making it so that you can always pull back on the stick irrespective of which way your character is facing: - Use double tap L to center the camera behind the player before triggering the AED. - Use the player-relative control option in the settings. I forget the name of the option, but clicking through the various camera options will show it to you. This works well with CB, but less so with some of the other weapons. I use both, but if I'm maining the CB I prefer the latter. You can make the former be a single tap L to center camera behind player, but I prefer using single tap for the target camera. v1ld fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Apr 14, 2021 |

do i actually have to care about what skills and stuff are on my armor, or can i just use whatever looks cool? i want as little janitoring of my build as possible - i am perfectly happy to not run optimal builds, but i also don't want to handicap myself too badly ideally i wouldn't have a build at all - i'd have a weapon and some armor and just roll with whatever looks coolest/has highest attack/defense number/etc

I believe the Nargacuga (NARGACUGULAR! 🤙) armor is decent for the SWaxe, for example. Eventually you can unlock layered armor so you can wear an ugly clownsuit to get the most optimal skill set while still looking stylish [if you want].

The game is all about hunting monsters and having fun. As long as you're using some armour spheres to upgrade your armour as monsters are getting stronger, you probably won't even notice. I'm just using whatever greatswords look cool and play like normal. I feel nothing but happiness when my giant swings occasionally trigger a bunch of explosions on a monster's face, even if it's not an efficient status-applying weapon.
