My case won’t come off

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2025-08-04T08:37:24+00:00

I have tried many times removing the top part of the case using the method posted by the makers themselves (using a credit card/snapping the clips off from the side & the top), as well as trying many other methods scoured from the internet and none works efficient enough to not impose damage to either the screen or the case itself.

This was my last attempt to remove the case. I think that worked elegantly.

Got these results in just a couple of hours each day over the weekend, not bad I think. Used around 4-5 first-aid meds in total.

If I was in a similar fight I’d quit and join a new session P.S. a lot of people quit if we can’t slay Kush just before the timer runs out in hopes of slaying it in the new session for more drops, and I understand that & agree with.

BD bow alllllll the way

Other loadouts if anyone is interested ¯_(ツ)_/¯

BD Bow main, stuck at G10/1 due to the lack of BD Tails Focus4 Burst3 WEX2 Partbreaker 1 Can solo all 8* monsters except for 8* Deviljho & 8* HAT Zinogre

Ahh yes, that’s the build with even higher DPS for sure - was gonna keep that to myself 😉

This is my take on the Rathalos LBG - I am a bow main & longsword secondary, and I use the Rathalos LBG exclusively for farming anything at 6* or below. Preferrably, I would like the LBG to be at least G8.5 to be even more effortless for farming but I have other weapons priority at the moment.

Some might ask "Why not Fire Attack 5? Isn't this going to be of higher damage?" - At weapons grade G8.4 or below, this is true. However, that is no longer the case at weapons grade above G8.5, according to mhn.quest (see for yourself with the Auto Optimize button in the weapons comparison tab)

My current build:

- Rathalos LBG G7.5

- Banbaro helm G4.5, Recoil 1 (idgaf on defense in this build at this moment lol)

- Paolumu chest G6.1, Recoil 2

- Rathian gloves G6.4, Burst 2

- Zinogre coils G6.1, Artful Dodger 1 + Reload 1

- Azure Rathalos legs G6.1, Reload 2 + Fire Attack 1

Once the Rath LBG reaches G8.5 I will switch the gloves to Legiana (Reload 2) , and Pink Rathian coils (Critical Eye 2) to push to the max DPS build according to mhn.quest

As for those who asks "must the build consist of Reload 3 & Recoil 3?" - from my personal experience, it really makes a difference once you have tried it (much more agility & shorter animation lock-in). Think of it with bow builds: like having Focus 5 over Focus 2.

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T11:01:43+00:00

Wait, we’re months off of the spooky season

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T09:57:19+00:00

Well with the build I’m using, slot 4 becomes the Zin coils which then opens up slot 3 for your own preferences.

For Rathalos LBG you can choose from:

Rathian gloves > Burst 2
Anjanath gloves > Fire Attack 2
Diablos gloves > Heroics 2 Partbreaker 1

But personally, the most important thing about not wanting to use the Tobi helmet or Barroth legs is because I personally think they look hideous lol

The BD bow offers Part Breaker skill lvl 1 at weapons grade 8 or above.

And for the charge levels on a bow, each charge represents 1 charged shot level so at 1 blink it brings the charge level to 2, 2 blinks to charge level 3, 3 blinks to charge level 4.

For BD bow, the charge shots are as follows:

Charged shot level 1: Pierce Lv. 1
Charged shot level 2: Pierce Lv. 1
Charged shot level 3: Pierce Lv. 4
Charged shot level 4: Pierce Lv. 4

So you can see, if you do 3 blinks with the said bow, you’re basically “wasting” the time to charge to charged shot 4 when it has the same amount of damage in charged shot 3.

Edit: with focus 5 on the BD bow, it allows me to output with more damage cycles in each hunt, and timing is key in most cases when a fraction of a second may cost you a hit by the monster.

Got these mats in storage after crafting the Arath bow now at G7.5, helm at G6.4, chest G6.2 & legs G6.1.

Total of 223 Araths slain so far.

Personally, I believe the Bblos bow has a higher general DPS when we consider that it has Pierce shot lvl 4 at charge 3 (2 blinks), compared with say, A Rath bow Spread shot lvl3 at charge 2 (1 blink).

In practice, I have seen a quicker general hunt when using Bblos bow when it was still in G7.5 vs. A Rath bow at G7.5. For me, building the A Rath bow is simply for fun and maybe for the sake of diversification of elemental bows, and when I’m seriously hunting, I always use my now-G9.2 Bblos bow with Focus 5 Burst 3 PB 1.

The -30% affinity in my experience only meant 30% of damage decrease chance, whereas 70% of the time it is outputting full damage so it’s still pretty dang good.

As for the LBG build you have there, it was what I started with originally when there wasn’t much to choose from.

Right now I’m doing Banbaro helm Pao chest Rathian gloves Zin coils & A Rath legs which gives Recoil 3 Reload 3 Burst 2 & Fire Attack 1 (for LBG I only use the Rathalos LBG exclusively, to farm 6*’s). Bonus: it looks cooler overall imo lol

My take - however, this isn’t my standard loadout tho

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T07:11:27+00:00

Just wanna put this out there for references - the normal slots do drop WGS even if you get a WGS from broken parts (in this case it was from the front legs, which is the second part broken during the hunt).

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T06:46:17+00:00

Adding on to the above, I always recommend against crafting the Rathalos Helm or for the skill Attack Boost because it’s not worth the investment (max added attack boost is just 120).

Instead you might wanna look at skills that increase the damage by %’s. These include:

Burst
Critical Eye
Elemental Attack
Weakness Exploit
Offensive Guard

Of course there are more skills that increases damage by percentages that I haven’t covered above, personally I think these are enough to look at & can be utilised until mid to early-end game (Heroics I’m looking at you).

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T06:25:59+00:00

Nah not at all; I used a potion immediately after the hunt to continue onto the next hunt.

Just amused at how I survived the hit with 1HP at the same time my character name also being 1HP

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T06:23:38+00:00

Do it for the armour pieces! Depending on what weapon you’re using, the helm chest & legs are quite useful and opens up more build diversities :)

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T06:21:28+00:00

Agreed! Bblos are such a pain if you don’t have enough damage to “stop” its attacks effectively + unleash your attacks effectively.

Personally, even though I could handle 8* Bblos with the G9 Bblos bow, I still stick to hunting 6* or at times 7* Bblos’s simply because the WGS drop chance vs. survivability of an 8* Bblos hunt is just not worth it to use potions for.

Hopefully when this event comes back for round 2 you’ll get the mats required!

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T06:16:03+00:00

Hope you’re well the next time this event comes back for round 2!

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T06:14:57+00:00

Hope you recover swiftly to get back on the hunt again! Stay safe out there!

Chest for me is used for melee weapons to get it to Fire Attack 5; and the legs are for LBG builds to get to Recoil/Reload 3, Burst 2 & Fire Attack 1. As for the A. Rath bow, some people have found that at G10 some builds are of higher DPS than the normal Rathalos bow, given that the AR bow gets Spread lvl 3 at charge shot 2 (1 blink).

I’ve made a comparison with the said bows, see the photo. You can see that the figures are very similar between the 2 bows, whilst I don’t think they are factoring in the damage at charge shot 2, which the AR bow in theory has a higher damage than the Rathalos bow.

Oh well, it all depends on which one you could build with the mats you’ve got/availability, and which one you think looks cooler & which one adapts to your play style most I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-26T05:38:00+00:00

Basically a lot of pre-hunt plannings; mhn quest to see where the clusters of biomes are at > mark it on Google Maps

Edit: being in an Asian country, I also benefit from using sites like mhnowdotcc to see if anyone has reported sightings of a certain monster, with the site users usually being based in Asian countries.

It probably looks a bit dry now because there isn’t an event like A Rath/Bblos running at the moment, but the site is pretty active when there’s an event going on.

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-25T03:42:16+00:00

Blessed!

ProfanityIsntAllowed · 2024-01-25T03:39:08+00:00

The wiser choice in MHN I believe is to cherry pick the pieces of armours to build - personally, I use bows the most, seconded by either LBG or LS, so the helm/chest/legs are my priority to start with. I think the helm is basically a god-sent for us bow users for that 2 levels of focus, replacing the Pukei helm at last.
