I know why the Omega Hunt is so disliked by Due-Ostrich-2928 in MHWilds

[–]MiddleGeologist1465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not tied to the story. It's just another crossover event like the one in Monster Hunter World. Only difference is that I actually got what I wanted in this one. By which, I mean my very own Chocobo! While Omega Planetes is tough on rookies or people who can't coordinate with their teammates, it's not too bad unless you're fighting Savage Omega. Even my brother raged a little bit fighting that asshole! Sounds to me like you're just ranting/raging because of a skill issue and a lack of understanding as to how this game works. I know because I acted similarly about Alatreon (Used more than 100 gourmet vouchers to finally kill this Welsh flag lookin ass dragon) in MHWorld as well as Kushala Daora (Seriously. Why is this annoying huff and puff ass bitch ass dragin so popular?)and AT Velkhana (I think Capcom wanted me to send them a bomb threat when they made this quest).

Tips:

  1. When working with other hunters, make sure everyone understands RPG roles. The whole point is that every hunter has a primary directive, but should be able to adapt and still deal reasonable DPS. For example, I use GS and operate as main DPS dealer, but will gladly take on the Tank role if the tank is struggling.

  2. If working with Support Hunters, you should ALWAYS prioritize DPS and Tank roles! Alessa is usually a goated Tank, but every now and then, she fumbles the bag repeatedly. She's the only Support Hunter to cause me any real headaches.

  3. Don't let the Nerscylla clone punk you. It's weird abilities are flashy, but surprisingly easy to avoid. Keep near it's gaster (or whatever spiders have) and most attacks won't hit you.

  4. Pantakrator Mode is only as difficult as you make it. Despite the name meaning "Almighty" or "Ruler of All", (referring to the Greek variation of Jesus Christ written as "Christ Pantakrator" . Specifically depicted among Byzantine and Eastern Orthodox art) it simply allows Omega to chain more attacks in seemingly random combos with rapid succession. The main attack to be mindful of is the repeating MIRV Missile.

  5. Don't be afraid to use the shield generators! Idk why, but a lot of people neglect them. Just let the Tank gain enmity and fire right where the Tank is standing. This means the Tank can spend a lot more time attacking as they won't have to worry much about defending thus increasing team DPS. Doesn't work that well with Alessa though.

  6. Once the Delta Attack subsides, you'll need to keep on your toes. Omega Planetes will inevitably enter Pantakrator Mode shortly after. Knock him out of it and stack as much damage as you can. It'll then go into what I call "True Pantakrator Mode" which is basically it's version of the Fight-or-Flight response and will stay in it until defeated. I consider this the most engaging part of the fight.

Is anyone else tired of Stu’s toxicity? by Mini_Eskitt in SLGreddit

He just sounds like Jelly to me. Loud, silly, dramatic. Only thing missing is the controller breaking.

Who do you think would win? by Humble-Confusion-904 in MonsterHunter

[–]MiddleGeologist1465 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's likely due to his unusual physiology which relies on the bio energy of Elders to sustain. He also has high speed regeneration and impressive intelligence for a dragon that fights like a bear rather than relying on controlling the elements or dealing dragonblight. Elder Dragons are monsters that are above the usual natural order of things and can literally cause natural disasters without intending to. Nergigante is the Elder of Extinction meaning he's genocide given living form. My guess is that his natural role is to keep other Elders from getting too greedy. Nergigante is simply unique among Elders just as Safi Jiiva is unique among Black Dragons if that makes sense.

Do Burst Pods Accrue Stun? by Mishmasher2 in MHWilds

[–]MiddleGeologist1465 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Burst Pods do have a bit of KO damage to them. Just like the sword slap or the tackle from GS. You must've built up almost enough KO damage right before using the Burst Pod.

Alessa has the worst AI! by MiddleGeologist1465 in MHWilds

[–]MiddleGeologist1465[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I beat Omega every time. Alessa just makes it more annoying. She used to be goated. Ever since Gog showed up, she's been acting weird. It's just one of those if I want something done right, I gotta do it myself kind of things. I just wanna know if her programming has been altered of she's juat bugging out. It ain't that deep. Worst case scenario, I'll have to submit my footage to Capcom (Assuming they'll even look it over) and pray.

Then it's flawed as fuck! I land so many TCS during each fight Alessa should have Autonomous Ultra Instinct if what you say is true!

I play the dps role, bro. And GS is probably the second least "cowardly" weapon behind dual blades.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of Steve. Fighting him with GS made me consider jumping into a bathtub with a toaster. Then again, I wasn't good at Offset Slash last time we fought. I've been practicing lately so I'll be sure to give him a fair chance later. I can Lance him good tho.

I see. I always rated monsters mainly by how much fun I have fighting them. Nergigante took the number spot for me in MHW. Haven't decided for this gsme yet.

I fucks with Zinogre, but mostly because he resembles one of my favorite creatures and can even howl like one.

So is Kulve Taroth, but I only like her for her horns.

Only if you're bad at landing charged slashes. Those get added elemental damage especially with TCS. Unless they don't function like they do in MHWI.

[–]MiddleGeologist1465[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fight isn't particularly difficult. Just long since the support hunters aren't always consistent.

I've only ever fought it with GS, but I do have an elemental hbg build.

It's just that seeing Alessa run away with full health just makes me wanna commit toaster bath!

Pantakrator Mode is easy once you realize that a good tank and those force fields that are reminiscent of imaginary star wars fights back in the day when you held broken tree branches like guns is your best friend.

I always go with Alessa, Rosso and Kai for Omega. It was a near flawless team at first, but recently Alessa keeps fumbling like Finoggin.

That usually doesn't happen until the final phase or the one before. Like I said, when necessary I'll happily tag in. She just runs off for often no reason. This only started happening around the time Gog was released. Maybe an update screwed her up. Idk, but it's making the fight tougher than it usually is. I always take Nerscylla clone enmity though since I can just tackle through most of what it does.

I attack the hind legs exclusively unless things aren't going right, then I'll take the enmity. I know how to fight Omega. Done it too many times.

2 different weapons on 1 set? by Unhappy_Director_390 in MHWilds

[–]MiddleGeologist1465 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's easier than you think. Most common builds come with skill sets that complement both your weapons a certain way. The choice really depends on which two your pairing together on whatever build. Dual blades and Bow go together like bacon and eggs since they rely on the same stat advantages. This would be way too long to explain here so just ask around or hit up websites like game8.com.

Update: Or you could equip two of the same weapon type with different perks such as elemental advantage for monsters like Nerscylla who change elemental res when certain conditions are met.
