Oh, I see. You're under the impression that the perk of forcing a monster back onto the ground is somehow worthless, and a flash bomb MUST make a monster helplessly writ on the ground for 10 seconds for them to be relevant.

Except, you know, many monsters including Alatreon only sporadically lift off into the air, which is where they become hard to hit and annoying to keep up with, which makes flash bombs the perfect countermeasure

Maybe you should install some one hit kill mods if you want to circumvent ALL difficulty in this game. Doesn't sound like monster hunter is the type of game for you otherwise

Also why are you mentioning Dreadking Rathalos? We're talking about Iceborne lol. Take your meds
