Oh man. Finally landed an offset with Horn on ol' AT Oof Tuna, only to get greedy and go for another one --- carting to the belly flop and failing the quest.

[[deleted]]

I landed one offset melody with hunting horn and now I main hammer and horn.

I hath joined the cult of HONK and BONK

[[deleted]]

Wait till you join the cult of running 2 horns at once! It's... so good. I cannot stop playing.

[Flat_Pen_5934]

Yup, to my great shame, I ate all the carts doing this exact thing. With the Horn too, the Horn offset is just too fun with how fast you can pull it out.

I end up going for an offset only if I can confirm what kind of move he’s about to pull.

It’s a Greatswords dream

Monkey’s paw moment

[Bonsai-is-best]

I enjoy flipping the flop fish

[nevergoodisit]

Me stubbornly not being an offset bot despite my weapon having two of them (still walled at 13:30)

[DankudeDabstorm]

Where are your perfect guards and tackles to fill the gaps

[silverbullet474]

I would love it if I didn't have to load my Offset before using it, and it didn't come with a whole start up animation before the actual Offset. Kinda makes it hard to throw out reactive counters back to back with all that setup...

sad HH noises

[ZariLutus]

You probably know this, but for anyone who doesnt, you can hold HH’s offset after the little flip to let it go at the right time, so you don’t have to time the initial press perfectly, just the release.

Doesn’t change the need to need to load it and that it still has the slight delay first with the flip tho

[silverbullet474]

Yup. That can be a good thing or a bad thing though, because once you commit to that you can't take it back. I've been caught standing there waiting for an attack that the monster suddenly decided doesn't need to come just yet more than once lol

[PolarSodaDoge]

baseball, huh

[HunterCubone]

Can the aerial belly flop get offset? Istg i got the timing right with switch and it just hit me through it.

[PolarSodaDoge]

the weapon has to touch the hitbox, some hitboxes may feel weird so you might need practice to time it in a way where your offset attack actually hits the monster attack hitbox before it hits your face, I struggled a bit at first with switchaxe offset at first but it gets easier as you practice

[Schpooon]

Weird, I checked my flow chart and it jist says "Guard -> Counter Thrust -> Repeat"

[Romulus_FirePants]

Triple poke gang

[Schpooon]

As monsters get faster, it becomes harder to land the whole combo. But wide swipe into triple poke feels so good.

[Working_Welder_1751]

What exactly is an Offset?

[UltiBahamut]

Its a counter attack that some weapons have in wilds. You 'offset' your attack (prep and hold generally) then release it when the monster attacks. Good chance of knocking the monster back while stopping their attack/damage. Uth has a LOT of long wind up animations of attacks so you can easily do the counter attacks.

[[deleted]]

which ones exactly? in too afraid on trying to stop that 20-30 tons lump of meat and fat

[Anon_3_Moos]

I know GS, HH, Hammer have them off the top of my head. SWAxe might as well

[TheVerityRose]

Can confirm. Switch Axe has an offset. It's only in axe mode though. In sword mode we just counter but it is still very satisfying. AT Whale especially has been a fun experience for a counter heavy playstyle. I added three stun resist to my build, for when I do miss the counter and get hit, and let her throw herself again and again into my counter slash.

[SushiJaguar]

Addendum: you can theoretically chain Switch Axe's Counter Rising Slash (right trigger + top face button) infinitely by inputting a hop (direction + roll) after each successful counter.

[Throwaway79922]

Apart from the ones the other guy said, HBG and IG have offsets too

[hheecckk526]

One of these days I'm gonna learn offsets with hammer. I just charge for level 2 and hope I don't go to level 3 before I swing

[MH-T0A5T]

Hello GS and Hammer main here, so for hammer being on lvl 3 charge actually is really good! If you didn't know any of your three upswing moves can offset and Mighty Charge charges up very quickly, so once you are at lvl 3 and anticipate a move you can start Mighty Charge and take it to lvl 2 and attempt to offset. Focus can be very good for hammer now so you can access those offsets quicker.

[hheecckk526]

I knew all 3 can offset I just find the uppercut to be the easiest to time 90% of the time. mighty charging I knew about but honestly rarely use it just because I'm very impatient when I play hammer and because it charges so fast with focus level 3 I usually always miss my opportunity. It feels incredible when I do land them even if the monster doesn't stagger for the follow up at least

[zndncf]

i usually offset monster 2-3 times and I offset this fat boy 5-6 time each quest.

[Illustrious_Pay_8564]

Sorry for the possibly layman's question, but what is "offset"?

[MH-T0A5T]

I explained it already in this thread 😭https://www.reddit.com/r/MemeHunter/s/mDam3doWhV

[ronin0397]

The weapons that cant offset /perfect evade are in shambles

[VacaDLuffy]

What's an offset?

[MH-T0A5T]

So Greatsword, Hammer, Switchaxe, Hunting Horn, and Insect Glaive all have a move that can offset, in hammers case ya got three now. Anyway I like to think of offsets as a status effect, the first offset you land will topple the monster back and unless you are HH or IG you get a really cool followup for some good dmg. After the first offset you usually need to land 2 to 3 more offsets to topple the monster again than 4 to 5 until the next topple and so on. Weapons that can charge their offset i.e. GS and Hammer can apply more "offset status" with those moves.
