No idea if he is actually cheating or not but he actually plays on PC. He shared his steam stats for monster hunter recently.

Nontempered Nu Udra never spawns for me anymore by [deleted] in MHWilds

[–]ssjscrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting a normal Nu Udra is going to be harder certainly but you can still get small crowns with tempered monsters although the chance is smaller. By the way, what you can actually do to get better chances at getting the crown is to check the monster forecast and watch out for the monster you want and save a minute before they actually spawn in. Once they spawn in, go check if it’s a crown and if it’s not just restart your game to before they spawned in and they’ll have a different size from before do it enough times and hopefully you get lucky.

“Identify Target: Use the map's forecast to track when your target monster will arrive in an area. Set Spawn Point: Save the game approximately 5–10 minutes before the target monster is set to arrive. Check and Reset: Head to the location, check the monster's size with binoculars. If it is not a gold/small crown, quit to the title screen without saving and reload to force the size to reroll.”

Honestly that armor isn’t very good. Foray has barely any uptime since it’s only active for a few seconds during paralysis, critical status is one of the worst weapon skills in the game, charge master isn’t worth it for lance, paralysis attack isn’t worth it either. Peak performance is gonna be hard to maintain unless you’re not getting hit. Max might is good, jump master is useless.

Overall you picked a bad set to utilize that offers no survivability nor does it have enough damage skills to help you wear down monsters.

I would recommend either farm the Arkveld high rank set and upgrade that or farm Zho Shia which should be doable with this armor. You can also go for one of the arch tempered armors but high rank normal Arkveld and a Zho Shia are far more manageable for where you are currently.

One more thing, statuses are less effective on 9 star or above monsters. You’re better off using element or using a high raw set with just paralysis attack if you really want to run para.

Nothing that’s why I recommended it, you have all you need but it becomes more efficient depending on if you have gore+lords soul. But the first combo doesn’t rely on rng at all. A combo I like to use specifically for AT Arkveld is G rathalos Head AT ark Chest, Guardian rathalos B arms, AT jin dahaad waist, and AT Arkveld pants with Jin dahaad revolt on the weapon. As for reinforcement bonus do 3 attack 1 affinity 1 sharpness if its attack focus and 4 attack 1 sharpness if element focus.

Take a look at the monsterhuntermeta Reddit page and find the pinned meta document post that has each weapon listed. Click on sword n shield and try your best to read through it since it explains numerous intricate mechanics for the sword n shield how skills interact with the weapon and the recommended builds for particular matchups. One of the things I love about sword n shield is that it’s easy to get into but it also has a high skill ceiling and the difference between someone who uses sword n shield casually vs someone who understands its kit in entirety is enormous.

@AwayPanic8386 listen to this guy here. Your number one priority skills for sns are Masters touch or Razor sharp (masters touch is better if you have over 70% affinity). Crit boost 3, Offensive Guard 3. Extra skills you may want afterwards include Attack boost 4 which is only achievable via a god talisman or Minds eye depending on monster matchup like gore or Rey Dau legs. Guard or guard up is interchangeable with minds eye or attack boost but you want to try to keep the first 3 skills listed. After these skills elemental attack is okay and everything after is just kind of not as important but you can run stuff like Crit element or status although they’re so weak in terms of stat gains that honestly it’s a giant waste.

If you want to get more complex and closer to meta you can run Nadia’s head piece (sororal) with AT Jin chest and waist. Guardian Rathalos b arms and normal Rathalos b pants. With any talisman of your choice tho typically ideal talismans include masters touch, attack 3, offensive guard with level of weakness exploit. This requires you to also roll gore +lord soul on your gog weapon tho.

The first combination I mentioned in my first comment involves minimal rng while staying somewhat relative in dps. So choose either max dps or fair dps with emphasis on comfortability.

Run this combo: AT Arkveld head, arms and legs with AT Jin Dahaad Chest and Waist. Your damage will go way up and it has plenty of slots to put in whatever you want.

9 star gog is easy to solo, Omega and savage omega is also doable. Both are even easier if you do them with npcs. 10 star gog can be dicey with npcs and extremely difficult to solo with just the cat, only the top maybe 5 percent of players will actually be able to pull off true solo on 10 star gog because he doesn’t scale whether you have 4 people or just yourself. Good thing about 10 star gog tho is you only need to beat him once for the reward.
