I loathe bullet hell games and mechanics, but I actually really enjoyed the last boss. Got it on my first try solo playing very defensively, took me nearly 30mins, the end of which saw my Palico landing the last hit while I was off drinking a potion. Valstrax is a ridiculously fun fight and it's like facing off against a giant, living gunlance. Its armor set looks fun and possibly like you'd never take serious damage ever again with it fully upgraded. They did Valstrax's gunlance dirty, though. Long level 4. Oof.

I'm still salty that they wasted the best Swaxe name on a progression portion of the tree instead of the end cap for one. Axe Semper Tyrannis! It can't be topped!

Ah, the feeling of carting 3 times in a row while Proof of a Hero plays. Final boss was really fun. What’s the best way to get from 50 to 100 now? I want to shoryuken the fighter jet

i really don't understand giving the valstrax gunlance long level 4. it's 13th place on the leaderboards. A touch more damage on one of its weapons would not have killed it.

Did the final boss solo with Dual Blades and had a blast with it. Love when Proof of a Hero kicks on during a fight. The fight took me 30 minutes so I’m not dying to do it again, but it was a very cool one-and-done fight. Now I’m gonna go fight a Fighter Jet.

Or do something even more radical and make it like bowgun ammo or the IG bug and have a separate item you can upgrade and customize. Load poison shells into any gunlance, swap between shelling type etc. Could be cool.

Seen speedrunners use rathalos on chameleos/Goss, fall drache (probably beaten by valstrax now) on rathalos and the mizu sword on teostra, so there's a few matchups at least.

I just fought Valtrax and I attempted to block the divebomb with GL. I managed to survive with a sliver of HP, but that was with the 4 or so HP spiribugs I picked up on the way. Everyone else was like a mile away when I got hit.

I don’t know how the math compares to the other gunlances since there’s so many variables to tweak, but if it’s not #1 for a shelling type it should be a close second, with the option of doing otherwise impossible combos like sleep/paralyze with level 5 shelling.

Deified Data posted:What's the point of the echo mode switch skill when magnificent trio is a thing? You only need one note to trigger song effects with ZR, and the ZR attack turns from the i-frame breakdance into a really quick and satisfying golf swing/overhead strike that hits monster heads really easily. After playing extensively with both Performance (ZR breakdance) and Echo (ZR golf swing) modes, they both feel like they have their place, and personally I prefer Echo mode. I played a lot of Hunting Horn in World and enjoyed the nuance of being able to whip out any specific attack at virtually any time for whatever the situation demanded, and Echo mode feels closest to that style of play. Performance's ZR attack is nice and tanky but it's less mobile.

I admit, I loved HH in the demo but steered away from it on release because part of me figured it'd be where LS or LBG are right now after its total revamp and I didn't want to be "HH guy #3" in every other hunt I do online. That said I haven't noticed much if any uptick in its popularity at all in Rise compared to World, which is surprising yet also encouraged me to give it a go. It just feels so right, they really knocked it out of the park. The "support weapon" stigma is ironically the weapon's greatest weakness and greatest strength - on one hand no one wants to play it, on the other almost every horn (of equal rarity at least) is viable in some fashion, as a good song list can trump bad damage or bad affinity and vice versa. I have never felt gimped by just picking the coolest looking horns coasting with whatever bonuses they bring. Speaking of support, I had a great nail-biter of a Valstrax hunt last night which saw me join 3 other hunters who managed to get 2 carts in like the first 5 minutes of the hunt, causing 2 of them to immediately abandon ship, leaving just me and the host (who was one of the players who carted). I kept my eye on their icon on the map to see what they'd end up doing since I didn't want to abandon while there was still someone playing, but to my surprise they stuck with it and rejoined me. We had two others join who were blissfully unaware of how close we all were to 3-carting. I brought the fantastic rampage horn with the healing song set and the song-duplicating silkbind and carried the host past the finish line with almost constant healing. I was certain we were going to fail but it's true what people say, it's genuinely hard for the monster to out-damage the healing from that horn. Anyway of course I got a gem from that hunt, as I always seem to do on hunts where lots of people drop with 1 cart left. Those really are the best hunts in the game and IMO something you can really only share with complete strangers.

Familiarity with Valstrax helps. I got wiped out once with a zombie gunlance setup, went back with a cheesy bazel Lance set and slowly wound it up from cautious to nope-nope-nope by the end. The blunt-damage invinci-charge is very useful both for no-selling quick hits and breaking the wings when they’re in the ground. PS: take gourmet fish, they’re good for chip damage.

Haven't had a chance to check out the 3.0 update yet. I heard the new gunlances all suck, but rampage gunlance can get to level 5 shelling now. Anybody have an idea of a good rampage gunlance with long shelling for wyrmstake spam?

This person is generally the gunlance reference and posted a 3.0 rampage gunlance guide, though it's focused on raw since wyrmstake spam is apparently weak now due to lack of scaling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdLQJaPiMKg

Is there a way to actually dodge the Valstrax ambush if you don’t have a counter? I’m constantly getting rocked by him. Fun fight though.

Fun fight though. sheath your weapon, wait until he begins the dive, point yourself away from him (important), start running and press the roll button while you're holding the sprint button. you'll do a huge dive that you're completely invincible for the duration of. this works for basically everything, but you need to be running away from an aggro'd monster for it to work unless you have the leap of faith skill on your armor.

Caught up to the for real final boss and those were some pretty fun hunts! Going to be a bit before I can tackle the jet fighter dragon but looking forward to that after my experience in GU. Especially appreciated Kushala seeming like a more consistent fight without being at the mercy of its area denying tornadoes from World.
