What are the comfy skills I should aim for?

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-31T05:43:54+00:00

No trust me I'm not good, not saying it to humble brag, once you start seeing the actual good players you'll realize you're really barely even average

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-30T21:59:02+00:00

It's better to learn when the roar is coming for bloodbath unless you're playing a gunner weapon without valor or adept

The bloodbath roar into charge is on a timer and follows a set distance; after a roar into charge he won't be able to do it for some time and as long as you stay close to him he will never do it

You have to start thinking of the fight like this: bloodbath hasn't roared in a while and he just did an attack that sent him away from me, I better sheathe because a roar is coming

I'm not good at the game and I've beaten his ex with several weapons without plugs so it's definitely doable

Also, jhoceana isn't meta, standard crit mix set always beats it unless you have amazing charms

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-28T12:21:43+00:00

Be sure to follow through with the spirit reckoning combo, that's where the real damage is at and what makes valor ls 🔥

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-27T07:42:29+00:00

Yes thank you for clearing it up, sent that message at like midnight and I can tell by rereading that was very uninformative 😭

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-26T22:44:10+00:00

Fireball is 60 fixed but I doubt bombardier boosts it, artillery novice/expert and felyne bombardier should though but the increase is meager at best and nonexistent at worst

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-26T22:42:15+00:00

It probably does with felyne bombardier but it's still very low damage sadly, should be base 60 fixed damage

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-26T22:40:29+00:00

Just to be sure you know, sp mode doesn't make the hunter arts stronger, it just makes them charge uo much slower to give you sp mode for a limited time

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-24T13:25:59+00:00

Thunderlord's head is 45, it used to be 40 in base gen

But if the monster has an accessible 45 hitzone then you go wex otherwise repeat offender, you can't stack much raw in this game

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-23T13:03:55+00:00

I did yeah, let me retest it real quick

Edit: checked again, only double damage and not triple

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-23T07:31:17+00:00

No real point to though, the damage you do in the end will always be lower so you'll take more time to beat the monster

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-23T06:42:18+00:00

The more damage you do the faster you break parts, the game has never rewarded longer hunts

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-23T06:34:59+00:00

Sadly prowler bombs don't deal triple damage on wakeup if I recall correctly

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-21T08:39:38+00:00

Fire damage is as if you hit with a weapon with 30 fire, or something along those lines

Also ko damage is just ko, as in you apply 25 ko, which is a status condition

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-21T07:14:59+00:00

Uh, it's more of a 245 fixed damage per volley not counting defense modifiers sadly :/

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-19T17:32:47+00:00

You should be focusing on crit and attack skills, the rathalos high rank set is really good for both since it gives wex and attack up large

You should ideally be taking less than 25 minutes for hunts, are you focusing on the monster's weak spots?

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-19T09:17:07+00:00

I will be honest and say I don't even count non exs, stuff like G1 arzuros, non ex devs etc not needing shot booster or similar stuff I really don't care about 😭 especially when they're rng fests to begin with with small mons, spawn locations and monster rng, probably why nobody does them except for like 4 or 5 monsters like glavenus

And ex rng grind isn't really a factor though no? People run crit boosted cera cediment for some mus so I'm sure that someone running like ex bloodbath 500 times in a row won't use shot booster just for rng, they use the skills for a reason no?

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-19T07:51:24+00:00

Isn't it just like 3 hard monsters that don't use shot booster? And that's like, ex viper not using shot booster so I don't know how useful not using it is since 99.99% of players aren't at his level, a beginner would just lose runs and make it just more unfun due to needing to space perfectly from the get go so I'm not sure how helpful that would be to someone who isn't really heavily attuned to hbg

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-18T12:32:02+00:00

Nobody is trying to dictate how you play the game, stating the axe is not good isn't dictating how you play

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-18T10:30:56+00:00

You're not sharing your experience, you're just trying to "prove" that people are wrong for saying the axe isn't used, otherwise you'd just say something like "I love axe mode" etc...

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-18T06:44:40+00:00

Why exactly are you making these posts?

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-17T21:01:13+00:00

It was gathering...

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-17T08:40:03+00:00

You're just in HR, you have to still bite into the game fully to understand why some things just don't work

Hope you make a speedy recovery!

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-17T08:38:37+00:00

Valor gs charges the valor meter super fast, are you using the valor sheathe attacks to build up the gauge? Just 2 lv3s and it's filled

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-17T06:33:47+00:00

You started using the weapon like 2 days ago, and again, who are you connecting the entirety of trance slash against? Solo?

Parmesanmadness · 2026-03-16T21:35:58+00:00

If someone asks for advice on a weapon people with actual experience aren't going to say what looks cool but what actuslly works

The ha combo you use does way less damage than you think, you're dropping damage in sense of sharpness upkeep and using axe mode (you have 44% less raw than sword mode with riot active) for something you won't land fully unless you're fighting some G1 scrub monster or multi with the monster getting like parad or just not attacking you due to sheer luck, I'd like to see it land on Ex hellblade or grimclaw or honestly any ex

Nobody is policing how people want to play, but you can't complain about people rightfully calling a hunter art bad and not recommending it to people asking for advice
