Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Hammer is so loving good in this game. I mean, it’s always been good, but I love the new stance and the wirebug moves feel so good to do. Seriously, I grabbed hammer as my first weapon out of the gate because I figured I'd start simple before trying other weapons, but it's been so hard to put it down. Impact Crater is a beastly move and doing the swap from blue > yellow stance for an instant full charge to maximize its damage feels slick as hell, and the unlockable Dash Breaker is a great gap closer that both does more damage when you're charged, and also maintains your charge through it, so you can glide straight into a fully charged slam when a monster tries to move away from you.

Doomykins posted:Rise is smooth as butter even in Rampage mode, it's an entertaining clusterfuck because the scaling is entirely different from hunting. "Ah poo poo, there's a pukei in the air and like three boulders beating on the gate, I better ring this gong so my every attack tics for 200 damage and clear those three large monsters out simultaneously." This is odd to read because Rise kind of runs like rear end for me. Rampages are fine because the map is kept so simple, but there are various areas around the other maps (flooded forest in particular) where the framerate is noticeably chugging even when nothing is going on. Heaven forbid an actual fight ends up happening there.

I never tried M/KB with a melee weapon but I'd imagine it's somewhat awkward. With a controller, you tilt the left stick in a direction to dictate where your attacks will be aimed, but with a keyboard I guess you'd have to point the camera where you want to aim and press W. The other part of it is that, when you're stringing attacks together in a combo, you can only slightly nudge your facing to either side with each attack. If the monster moves to the side or you just completely whiff your aim, you generally have to halt your combo entirely (probably dodge roll out of it to skip your attack's end lag) then re-orient yourself and start over.

Reiche posted:Yeah somehow I’ve been using only power phials (thanks GU). I switched to element/dragon/poison/etc phials and my gauge filled up lickety-split. My god I’ve been playing this game on some self imposed hard mode lol Power phial weapons boost your damage in sword mode (all the time, not just once you've filled the meter) so you're giving that up if you use a different type. In the past that was pretty much just better than the added element or status you'd get from the other phial types, but now that the other types can get to the amped state faster to offset the damage loss, it might be worth using them.

new kind of cat posted:Figuring out I didn’t need a full gauge to abuse savage axe has freed me from the need to use the defensive silkbind, so I can add some aerial SAED for flavor when I feel like it. I do admit I miss the counters , but I can live with just stacking guard skill and abusing my guard points. The thing that makes it hard to go without the counter silkbind when savage axing is that it lets you guard while in axe mode and then press X to go right back into savage axe mode. Without that, you have to do the ZR+A > X charge which takes a couple of seconds, particularly if you don't have any sword charge built up. AnEndcat posted:That's Counter Morph Slash only, right? Normally the guard point's at the end of the axe-to-sword animation. Correct.

Ciaphas posted:that preserves your savage axe mode despite getting the shield out? I wouldn't have expected that Technically no - if you do nothing after the counter or whiff it entirely, you'll end up in sword mode with savage axe gone. It's just that you can press X after blocking a hit to immediately go into savage axe mode, whether you had it active or not.

The head is the highest damage hitzone for cutting weapons as well as blunt in almost all situations, so technically "everyone puts on flinch free and dogpiles the head" is better DPS than "everyone spreads out and targets a different part of the monster".

Some things can't drop from carves, some can't drop from captures, and the general trend is that rarer things have a higher chance of dropping from captures but you get 2-3 rewards instead of a guaranteed 3 carves. Fortunately all this info is now in the game in the hunter's notes so you don't have to look things up on a wiki before you go on a hunt. Edit: Also the reduced rewards from capturing can itself be misleading sometimes, because sometimes you'll get 2 of an item from capturing but only 1 from carving, eg you have an 18% chance of getting 2 thunder sacs from capturing a Khezu or a 20% chance of 1 from carving.

HPanda posted:As I recall, they can either enrage and get themselves out of it or leave to go eat something (usually the carcasses you find littered about). It's actually that being exhausted prevents a monster from enraging, which ends up looking like it's enraging to get out of the exhaustion because you probably did enough damage to trigger the enrage in the meantime. (Being enraged also prevents entering the exhaust state even though they can still lose stamina while enraged, so the same thing happens in reverse.)

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Make any Narcaguga weapon and get 100% crits Even if you have the ability to never bounce, you still want to be hitting the weakest hitzone whenever possible, so weakness exploit is still usually the single best damage skill you can have. One possible exception is a heavily SAED-focused charge blade. Impact phial explosions deal damage that ignores hitzones and can't crit, so only Artillery and base attack bonuses help them. Bludgeoner also helps if you have a green sharpness weapon - it didn't in World for whatever reason but they changed that in Rise. Even then, enough of your damage comes from direct weapon hits that weakness exploit is a contender. I think there's also a flavor of gunlance that goes all in on shelling so crits are of zero benefit?

pixaal posted:pretty sure you had time to roll backwards there after your last swing to avoid that. Looks like you juked left which that would not have avoided the tail. That was a failed guard point there. Part of the trouble is the fakeout of the first swipe making the timing tricky, but also the move just tracks really well - I think if I had rolled back, he would've just gone further forwards to hit me anyway if I didn't time it just right.

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. That's odd because I've seen buddies wind up a long attack that ends up landing several seconds after the monster's gone to sleep, and it has never woken it up.

ScootsMcSkirt posted:i guess my mistake was assuming that Guard 5 would be the max blocking you could have then? Doesn't red shield and guard-pointing each give an equivalent of 1 point of Guard, in regards to the knockback threshold? If this is the case, then having Guard 5 plus red shield plus guard point would be like a theoretical Guard 7 then? Specifically how this works is there's a formula that calculates your guard strength vs the knockback power of the monster's attack, and the difference between the two determines how big of a knockback you get. Guard 1 gives +10 to this strength. Guard 3 upgrades that to +20 and Guard 5 to +30 (Guard 2 and 4 don't help with this). Charging your shield and guard pointing don't add to the Guard skill directly - instead, they each add another +10 to that formula, which is why people say they're each like having another point in Guard. (Although it's more like 2 points each, since only the first point in the Guard skill gives you +10 on its own, so Guard 5 w/ charged shield and guard points is almost like a theoretical Guard 9.) Counter Peak Performance, as far as I can tell, just has infinite strength and can block any attack with no knockback, even with zero points in Guard. Although you will need Guard Up to block unblockable attacks, as usual. Note that these specific numbers are from World and they could be different in Rise, and in fact the wording on the Guard skill is a little different in a way that suggests that Guard 1 actually gives a smaller value than Guard 2 now.

Cat Machine posted:Any fun/unusual charge blade builds worth checking out? I'm using a fairly started attack up/crit up/morph build and it does great numbers, but I'm playing pretty mindlessly in the postgame now and wanna see if I can shake things up a bit. The other main contender is taking the Rajang CB, completely ignoring crit skills, and maxing out bludgeoner, artillery, and attack boost in exchange. Your direct hit damage suffers but your SAED phial damage goes through the roof, so any fight where you can land a ton of SAEDs will go faster. Other than that...elemental charge blades?

RazzleDazzleHour posted:I think the main annoying thing about charms is that the game clearly wants you to have to grind for them, but there's ways to grind that are significantly and objectively more effective. Rampages and Narwa are very different from just doing hunts and there's very low variety there, but in the back of your mind it's like "well just joining random hunts isnt really getting me any loot progression, so it feels like I SHOULD be doing the thing that will get me more charms because I'm not doing any loot progression at all by killing any monster below HR7" I'm pretty sure doing a Narwa hunt or rampage gets you like 2-3 full melds worth of materials, so you could go hunt a random Pukei Pukei between each Narwa or whatever and still be at 100% loot efficiency. It's not as good as it could be, but it's much less bad than "do exactly one hunt forever because it's objectively the best". My personal wish for an optimal farming method would be a mode that just throws one monster at you after another, selected at random from the full roster (maybe with like an A or B choice at each step) because all monsters are beautiful and I want to kill them all. Kind of like what the Guiding Lands could've been if you had zero reason to care about what you were fighting so everything was a worthwhile target.

Tekopo posted:I forgot to mention that the upgrade path on the Tigrex hammer allows you to get Silkbind boost that is a damage up on the Impact Hammer. You have to rollback the hammer to get it though. Yeah, that's unusually good for hammer because so much of its damage is done through impact craters. Also, Master's Touch isn't terribly valuable for hammer because it goes through sharpness so slowly anyway, so you would likely see more overall damage by dropping it for more attack boost or some wirebug whisperer or whatnot.

If nothing else, Rise CB has a bunch of distinct playstyles you can choose between. You can take the counter move and fill phials faster than ever before and blast out SAEDs with record speed. Or you can do huge dramatic jumping SAEDs that deal more damage. Or you can forget phials altogether, turn your axe into a buzzsaw, and spend the fight carving into monsters like thanksgiving turkeys.

snergle posted:how similar does the hammer play in rise to world? It's pretty similar overall but the main differences I can think of are: - What was the power charge in MHW is now just a mode you can switch in and out of, meaning you don't lose it when you get hit or sheathe, but I think it's a bit nerfed in exchange. You'll probably spend almost all of your time in that mode, but there are occasional strategic reasons to switch back out of it. Also when you're in that mode, the awful spinning move you get when you do a full charge attack while pressing forwards is gone, instead replaced by a quick forward step slam. - It gets an unlockable parry move. - One of its silkbind moves (the ones that use up your recharging wirebugs) does so much damage that high level play pretty much revolves entirely around landing that move over and over again, as frequently as possible. It can be a bit monotonous but of course you aren't obligated to play that way. Edit: Oh also, it has an alternate charge attack you can unlock that's just like the charge moves from MHGU's valor hammer, but it seemed kind of underpowered and I don't think many people used it.
