The Gunlance changes make me very excited to main it this time around. Wirebugs add much needed mobility. Additionally you have access to ground splitter and blast dash. Also a side effect of being able to charge shell from neutral now is that lets you do really long backhops on command. The air combos with this weapon are nuts, and with wirebug moves and air recovery you can weave them into your battles easily. Wide GL apparently stuns now and has two levels of charge. The guard edge gives you both a counter and a sharpness regen, which is great because sharpness drain was a huge problem in the past. The guard reload switch skill apparently adds a guard point to reloading and access to another way to stake reload which seems amazing. I'm also excited for what seems to be a pretty high skill ceiling, there's tons of ways to do cheesy stuff like shell in the air to hover/dodge, ways to negate recoil and recovery animations, charged backhopping in reverse to close distance, upkeep of ground splitter, etc. I've been watching some deep dive videos and had no idea that gunlances could even do half of this stuff.

Impermanent posted:they're different playstyles. This is not how it works in Rise. Wide is now the charge shelling build as it gets 2 levels of charged with the most damage. It also has KO damage with the stake, with slugger levels you can KO monsters VERY easily. This also means you don't want to use blast dash with wide and prioritize the 2 step fast WS combo. Normal and Long play basically the same, normal has more shells for burst and long does more WS damage and can shoot farther, but you play them more or less the same.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyqfY5tsSMg Over the last day or so, I started to figure that stake spam with Long Gunlance seemed to be superior to fullbursting for monsters with tight windows of opportunity. Nice to see that the speedrunners are on the same page. Its just a shame you can't use blast dash with this strategy.

MechaX posted:So I guess before I'm at the absolute end-game, I'll probably just stick to Hammer because I'm not about to start making a bunch of Elemental Bows before I know what sucks and what doesn't (lol the tobi bow still seems really good though) Its not really a thing since shells don't take elements. Element will only matter on your melee attacks. edit: that is to say element or raw damage doesn't really matter for gunlances, what you are looking for is shell level and sharpness mainly.

And Tyler Too! posted:Multiplayer is basically a 4-player blender and whatever poor monster happens to fall into it is juiced. I haven't managed to capture a single monster online because it keels over long before I thought we could trap & tranq it. Weird, like 95% of my random pugs at HR6/7 capture. It can save you the risk of getting TPKed by a Mag divebomb or something at low health, although generally I only see around 1 cart per hunt in pugs. People generally seem competent.

I have so many items now, and I'm starting to run out of pouch space sometimes from all the foraging. It helps me to have a routine with this many items to keep track of. Set an item loadout with only the essential potions and consumables, and load it every time you get back from a hunt. It will restock your potions and deposit any extras in your bank.

Natural 20 posted:Well I killed the final boss. I agree completely, its doubly awful if you're playing a melee weapon that needs to ramp up its damage, since the vulnerability windows are so short. the fight would be massively improved if the artillery and vulnerable windows were like twice as long. As it stands now if you miss wirebugging to a platform right away, by the time you actually mount the weapon it will despawn. If you're playing a slow, lumbering weapon like GL or GS or something you basically never have enough time to do your cool poo poo unless you are perfectly positioned every time the sac is vulnerable.

homeless snail posted:They persist but upgrades will usually have better versions of the ramp ups, and it won't automatically upgrade an attack II ramp to an attack III or whatever Note that this works both ways, you can get a rampage ability that doesn't normally exist on a weapon if it has it somewhere lower in a tree. I can't recall the names of them off the top of my head, but there are a couple weapons this is useful for.

Johnny Joestar posted:the more i play it the more i'm convinced that rise's switch axe is probably one of the best implementations of it in the entire series. all of it's switch skill options add another layer to further emphasize what makes the weapon fun. the moveset swap that changes your running attack with one that has longer windup but an overhead slam with more damage that you can chain into a sword double slash feels chunky as hell to charge into fights with. the invincible gambit wirebug skill you start with lets you just yeet yourself right into combat and completely ignore literally everything that would normally stop you at the expense of still taking damage during it. you can just no-sell roars with it and crash right into their face if you time it well. the soaring wyvern blade(?) that you can swap for it lets you fling yourself into the air and jet yourself right into their mass to plant an explosive on them that can ignore armor gimmicks and hitzones while also charging up the sword form massively. the compressed discharge option makes it so you don't have to commit as hard and lets you chain into more combos while still making GBS threads out damage. other quality of life things like the new skill that enhances morph attack speed and damage and other little tweaks to the moveset just make it an absolute blast to play and there's honestly no aspect of it that feels clunky or janky. I've been trying to get into switch axe but I can't figure out what this weapon's niche is. The morphing stuff and attacks are cool and all, but I don't really "get" what it is good at. It doesn't seem have any particularly standout options for mobility, defense, or utility compared to most classes. Sword mode having mind's eye is neat for breaking parts and stuff and you can pump damage if can get some long uninterrupted strings in, but it seems like most weapons can do that nowadays. And it seems like every class has a super armor or invincible silkbind now. What am I missing with this weapon? I want to like it. (I mainly play GS, GL, and HH if that helps)

A target dummy spawning every 30 seconds or so just feels lackluster for a final boss. edit: I guess what I'm trying to say is for the vast majority of fights in the game, a Greatsword will approach a monster much differently from a Dual Blades player or Gunlance, and in that fight it just doesn't seem to matter (unless you are ranged).

I'm somewhat confused on how to use bow properly, since it doesn't seem like you are supposed to manually charge any shots, despite what it looks like at first glance. Exactly which actions gain charge levels, and which actions reset your charge level? When should you use a normal shot (ZR) vs a power shot (A)?

thebardyspoon posted:I've definitely had them wake up enemies but it's pretty rare. Seems like it's some quirk like they were queuing up some specific, big attack as the monster hits the floor and it just coincides. It's never the end of the world but can be a bit annoying if I'm using a weapon that does the big hits. Things to consider in a weapon: Raw attack power Elemental/Status attack power (only if using a weapon/build that cares about this) Affinity Sharpness levels and length (Note that Handicraft can substantially improve some weapons, while it does nothing for others) Decoration Slots Ramp-up skills (most ramp up skills just boost one of the above stats, but there are a couple of powerful unique and some weapon-specific ones) edit: there's also weapon specific stuff like shelling levels, shot types, phials etc.

I love in depth videos like this, there's so much crazy minutia in this game. I wish the hunter notes were more in depth, there's a ton of stuff like this that isn't obvious at all. One thing that constantly trips me up in this game is the timing of various iframes, some moves have it on startup but a ton have various levels of delay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebVcWalktBA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Koyvj506Ik

v1ld posted:Feels tough to land all SAED explosions given the new pattern. The AED seems a lot more reliable as the explosions are at the contact point. Does Axe Hopper's aerial SAED have a better pattern/land more explosions? I really wish I could have Axe hopper + CPP, alas. Also I agree, I played a lot of CB in world but the SAED hitbox seems awful now. I'd try out rapid morph 3, it speeds up some animations including SAED. As for builds, there are a couple different ways to go depending if you are focusing on phial damage or spinning axe damage, since those seem to be the best things you can be doing with the current setup. Bludgeoner-based phial builds also work nice with the high-raw Rajang CB and lets you mostly ignore sharpness and crit skills. Axe builds can go for normal crit-based setups. There's some decent starter builds here: https://mhchargeblade.net/mhr/builds/
