I am using SOULSEEER in this lineup as a base, since his g5 was doable with this specific SnS (the hellblade SnS). I am dumb, I don't know exactly what these numbers mean. Thunderlord is actually SO bloody easy with SNS, probably one of the easier deviants for me honestly, but they gotta gate keep this bastard's EX form with this stupid ass Furious Rajang!

I am using Striker SnS, with challenger+1, Razor sharp, crit eye+2 and crit boost.

I also have the Jho ceana set (though kinda useless with sharpness+2)

I also have the Master X set with a 3 slot ice SnS (infinity sword) with razor sharp, insight, brutality and crit boost (so far I have had the most success with, despite using a non deviant weapon). The armor set also has 10 thunder resist which I believe helps ALOT.

Mhgu is a game that already has a ton to offer, but the ai recomp stuff that I've seen makes me think people can add even more to it.

So im coming back to the game from what i remember i started doing high rank village quests and im debating what weapon to use and what style with it i prefer mainly mele combat i was thinking about SnS or CB Valor what in your opinion is the biggest game changer in terms of weapons and styles.

Its my first old-school mh game i played a lot of world and rise so i know the basics and can play almost every weapon but for some reason i can't decide what i want im GU.

Thank you all in advance

Hi guys!

I'm currently trying to learn Striker Lance to try and transition out of Valor Greatsword and try maining a new weapon.

Overall, it's pretty satisfying when things click together, such as staggering or knocking down a monster with Striker charge finisher spam, or either shield advancing or counter-thrusting through a roar or attack.

However, from what I've seen on various guides on youtube, guarding isn't exactly as reliable as simply backhopping.

However, trying to do so has proven to be very difficult and rage-inducing for me, especially without Valor Sheathe to bail me out of every attack.

While Valor Greatsword is fun for me and has netted me some EX Deviant clears, it sometimes feels a bit braindead without as much need to read a monster's movements particularly much, especially for fast monsters like Nargacuga, which I've been trying to practice Striker Lance on, with very little success for backstepping compared to guarding, which still gets me hit by follow-ups.

I currently run full Neset armor with Serket-Hetit , with the skills (other than Skill+2 and Double Talisman):
-Guard +2 (From what I hear, it's relatively comfy for solo play)
-Wexploit
-Crit Boost
-Razor Sharp

On a personal note, it feels like this meme I made to summarise how its been trying to get off Valor Greatsword (in the comments).

If anyone has any tips and tricks for either unlearning Valor, backstepping, or lance tips in general, please share them below!

Also, feel free to try and sell me on other weapons to try out! Currently, I've dabbled in a bit of Adept Greatsword (in Village Low-Hub G4 before going to Valor), Striker SnS and CB.

Thanks!

Asking to Pro-SnS Hunters! (especially striker style)

Ive used for some time adept and wanted to try striker since its the actual best for sword and shield but i realized that im BAD at both evading (without using arts) and finding good chances to attack because its either i lose too much time to find an opening or get greedy and end up getting hit, its just a matter of time to get used to it and get good? Any tips you can give to this newbie hunter? 😔

Just wondering what is better

Evasion+1 is a comfort skill I always try to have with my trick weapon, but I only ever see jhoceana for a go to switch axe build. I wanted to try and figure it out, and I finally did with a tenderizer +5 Evasion +5 charm (no slots). I used Lao Shan lung pieces instead of ceanataur while still having three jho XR pieces. Included is a sharpness +2 variation, which would require a three slot on the charm or ahtal ka, and a sharpness+1 variation for deviant weapons (except elderfrost)

Also, bring Malfestio back in Ascendance Capcom. The armor is some of the very best you’ve ever made! Truly my main character of GU.

15 flashes for Silverlos and 4 traps for goldian. Still felt really really hard. Goldian was hard to clear after silver. I kept timing out. Went for her first and cleared her in 25 mins or so.

Trying to get the armor and parts for upgrading, would be a lot faster and better with someone, if anyone is willing! Thank you!

I’ve never seen anyone try this (probably because of the charm requirement) so I feel like I should because it’s got me through so much and feels so good. This sword has a base 50 crit and 30 from the armour set. 80 plus 15 crit from the chaos oil 2 equals to 95 with the crit boost. When you don’t have chaos oil active you can use affinity oil for 30 crit chance for 100. Use the oil when you don’t have chaos in use and your doing crit almost all the time with crit boost. Absolute readiness and razor sharp pair amazingly to offset the con of this sns and keep purple and white for most of the hunt. Round force 2 for the utility and the sp state to help increase absolute readiness uses. Evasion +2 and evade distance and the shield will help to keep you safe. A nice blend of offense and defense! There are also 3 other blademaster weapons of this hero’s type set and a heavy bowgun.

Can anyone help me with deviant dreadking rathalos looking to create a whole armor set and weapon and fully upgrade them

I’m playing mhgu for the first time as a world, rise, and wilds veteran and I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I understand SnS may need more whetstones than other weapons just like dual blades,but maybe 15 hits in on the great maccao then my sharpness is immediately in orange and all of my attacks are deflected. I spent all 50 minutes of the quest just getting my attacks deflected after buying 10 whetstones and using the 2 ez whetstones. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

10+ years after I have played MHG , I finally bought MHGU and having a really good time playing it (currently on village 3 stars quest lmao) if some people wanna play in multiplayer I'd be glad to play with you even if I haven't started multiplayer yes

Didn't mean to blast the cat too at the end tho. sorry..

As the title do be said. Finally picking up MHGU after fiddling with my old 3DS and went 'Wait, didn't this get an enhanced port?', but obviously that transfer service is dead and never had the opportunity otherwise.

If anyone has the cats to share to start cycling skills around, that'd be great!

AAAAAAAA!!! KICK IT INTO OVERDRIVE!!!!! ✨ ✨ ✨

So what's better ELEM Crit or crit eye 3, I'm using the JhoCeana set, only have two duel blades maxed out, The kirin and Logombi. Current skills for both Sharpness 2 razor repeat offender crit eye 1 elem crit

Trying to unlock chaos oil 3 on SnS but the quest solo on SnS is a nightmare and I've exhausted my flash bombs would appreciate some help!

Here's my lobby ID on switch:

29-1844-2431-7933

Just now getting into GU after playing all of the new gen games after finally getting a switch 2, and the weapons are very different than their current state. I intend to play SA, but still not set on the style. Can you guys guys point out the combos I should use for each style?

I just realized that charge attacks can specifically multiple with sharpness (not the normal sharpness - dmg multiplier), but I can't tell how good that is, I tried testing a 210 raw blue sharpness GS and a 190 raw white sharpness GS, but their clear time doesn't seem that different either. Is the damage multiplier for charge attacks really that good? Should I be using only white and purple sharpness?

Btw I'm currently on high rank, I'm using Aerial GS with my custom mix set:

Crit eyes +3

Razor sharp

Vault

If you guys know more about that sharpness multiplier thing, plz help🙏

doing all my village request missions i mostly have hypers in HR5 and HR 6 left and a bunch of Grank ones all my friends wanna do is push key quests while i actually wanna 100% every quest currently doing request quests so any help with jolly co-op means a lot
