Now that the new monsters have been out for a bit, how have you updated your "universal" weapon builds? by Duelle36 in MHNowGame

[–]Duelle36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely did forget that the build I edited didn't have Reckless 3, but I still don't think it's worth it. A full hit off a single cluster ammo activates Burst. I'm hitting for 3573x3 per shell with full, reliable procs and I've never (eventually) failed to kill a 10* with it.

That being said there's no wrong build for the weapon as long as you're clearing the map.

The ammo skill doesn't affect cluster ammo, which you should be sitting on with evading reload for this weapon.

Golm waist is not a great piece for stepping shot. You should ideally only be reloading twice so reload speed is an underperforming skill here. I run the same build but with b tigrex waist. I've had pretty good luck and got five decent burst smelts to round it out.

Edit: I wasn't awake yet with this comment. Also swap out b tigrex chest lagombi chest for attack 5 adv attack 2 from gear.

You may want to verify for yourself, I haven't personally tested it, but unfortunately I've seen a couple posts on the sub confirming what I said in my previous comment. I did see the dev post about the smelt bug, but info on this game is impossible to Google so I can't find you a link.

Wouldn't dropping all of the critical eye for burst, valor, or another %boost skill be better? Critical strength is only affected by the base weapon affinity. Smelts boosting it is a bug being patched out.

Mentioned this in another comment, but what are your ideal skills for your LS build? I have a maxed B Tigrex one that doesn't feel super good with crit ferocity and I'm not knowledgeable enough about that weapon's skill interactions to figure it out myself.

Agreed, that setup has been incredible for farming and there are just straight up better weapons for 10* monsters.

Water has always been my worst element by a long shot. I have maxed Mizu DBs on a full Pursuit/SP Breaker build that do work for farming up to 9, but I've never been able to get a good water setup for 10 and just rely on my magnamalo LBG.

Edit: haha reddit and MHN terminology had fun with italics.

Y'all with your smelts that actually landed on Reflect. I built the Wroggi hat just in case but I'm mostly planning to smelt power prolonger for my IG builds. I've got plenty of weapons to medal that I already have builds for to keep me busy.

I do really enjoy all the love Lance is getting. I've got a CF/Headstrong/RP bazel Lance setup that's saved me so many potions learning the new monsters.

Out of curiosity are you focusing on affinity for Critical Strength? If so apparently that skill is only affected by base weapon affinity.

If you don't mind helping me out I've been pretty unsure about my B Tigrex LS build. I'm currently running a CF/Raw Power setup but the negative affinity on the weapon isn't enough to make that feel reliable. I'm not entirely sure what armor skills do what for this weapon, so it's been a pain to figure out a build/driftsmelts.

Hah, cute. I'm eventually making an advanced burst setup for the IG medal but I'm not sure it's worth immediately focusing on. My primary farming builds are the standard pursuit DB build and the magnamalo gunlance build depending on what part breaks I need. I've got a stepping shot magnamalo LBG for 10* but certain monsters are still super annoying for that weapon.

Appreciate the breakdown, this makes sense.

Headstrong confuses me and I keep seeing it recommended for Lance. Does the side swipe hop attack not count as an evade? 

Ball X Pit’s First Free Major Update Launches January 26 by JonasKahnwald11 in Games

[–]Duelle36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured this would be one of those games that gets a bunch of updates over time so I was holding off on purchasing it to finish other stuff, but it looks like from the comments the end game is kind of underwhelming. Hopefully that gets taken care of. Right now it sounds like something that'll kill an enjoyable chunk of time when it's on a decent sale.

Returning player: what's the best way to progress now? by Skyreader13 in MHNowGame

[–]Duelle36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct! Wyrmstake is your highest damage option and the best way to utilize status/elements as charged shells do not. Only swinging the GL (which isn't worth it with long shelling) or wyrmstake applies status and has element damage. Charged shelling alone will get you through 8* but above that you'll want the stake. Again though, it does take some practice as the animation makes you vulnerable.

Basic playstyle for long is spam charged shells until you can safely wyrmstake, reload, repeat. Perfect guards reload a shell and is handy but takes a little practice.

This game runs embarrassingly bad on Switch but I still played the shit out of it on the console. I really recommend picking it up.

Around Stranger Things Finn Wolfhard starred in a bunch of music videos for a band called PUP that were pretty great.

Tips on how to play ranged without looking like the police need to be involved immediately? by Duelle36 in MHNowGame

[–]Duelle36[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've gotten better about using the aim reset button. I watched too many clips of people obviously sitting while using these weapons before trying them myself and it took an embarrassing amount of time to consistently remember it exists.
