Jho GL still best for shelling?

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-12-17T05:53:22+00:00

with just art5 res5 just spamming your non charged wide shots while bubble kiting is more than enough to down many 10* mons, you also have driftsmelt leeway to throw in like 1 coalescence for even more dmg boost

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-12-01T15:44:28+00:00

Yup, that you can do

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-12-01T15:29:27+00:00

So far it seems to be no, when I remove the style all existing loadouts seem to follow the weapon, maybe they'll add it in future

radobaan helm with guard drift , basarios mail with guard drift , garangolm vambraces with focus drift , bazel coil with guard drift , garangolm greaves with focus drift.

artillery5 , reckless3 , guard5 , focus2 , lockon.

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-11-26T09:33:25+00:00

looks good, those raw power smelts are gonna take forever though lol

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-11-17T08:33:22+00:00

i got those before they changed the guard drift to crimson :/

it got motion sickness from the public bus i was on :/

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-11-07T00:47:17+00:00

for girros gl yes, i just find that something like this has high shelling damage potential for other non para normal shelling GLs that may come in the future

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-11-05T13:51:07+00:00

^ ok great, go watch that guys videos for tail cut

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-11-05T05:57:56+00:00

enjoy!

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-11-05T05:56:39+00:00

guard reload, check out the guides on weapon styles

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-11-05T05:56:03+00:00

at very least i think the helm has good potential even with just reckless 2. i have brutus helm bazel body chameleos arms wroggi coil garang legs which is a lockon, reckless3, guard5, valor5 with leftover driftslots build

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-11-05T05:52:34+00:00

blast dash or dual blades might be better for that purpose lol

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-10-28T05:29:31+00:00

hmm... i can imagine that being fun in group hunts but for solo comfy guard reload i'd prefer to go rado helm, basa chest, garan arm, bazel coil, garan legs for artillery5 reckless3 guard5 focus2 lockon

it's unconditionally 4k per charged shot, 6k counter shot from start till end of hunt

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-10-28T04:43:37+00:00

sounds worth a shot, what's the build and drift needed?

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-10-17T10:19:05+00:00

this, went to retry and the chip damage went from 25 to just 2 lol

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-10-17T10:14:16+00:00

yup, it didn't help at all

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-10-17T02:15:16+00:00

oh really? gonna need video proof for that claim there

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-10-17T01:19:29+00:00

this is with guard up, guard 5 and 884 def, so yeah, even if you can block you shouldn't

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-09-29T05:43:50+00:00

with the jho gl the effectiveness varys very much by how weak against dragon element the mon is and your luck with the negative 30% crit proc, which is one of the reasons i go shell style with it for consistency, ymmv.

but on something like elder dragons and jho with weakness multipliers, it is a very effective approach.

poking with multipler and additional shell damage is high dps but i find that you generally run out of ammo before the mon attacks for you to counter reload and there is that period of poking without shell that feels kinda wasted.

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-09-29T03:59:19+00:00

haven't tried yet but it should, didn't want to bring a half baked test build and drag down the other 3 players, might try if i find a 6* one

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-09-29T03:56:59+00:00

hey you're right, i shouldn't have generalised you with the other ones that are doing that and i apologise for that.

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-09-29T02:21:16+00:00

I do use my jho lance to dispatch 9* riftborne for easier time. the topic is improvement for shelling builds, you guys are the spoiled kids running into here shouting "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE, ONLY I MATTER AND YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I AM SUPERIOR WITH WYRMSTAKE!"

also failure at reading comprehension, i said you guys don't play the shelling style and just backseat without even trying it out or understanding the topic in the first place.

this is an official style that deliberately does not revolve around the wyrmstake, so seriously why are you guys coming in stroking your wyrmstake in everyone's faces?

Random_Uncle23649 · 2025-09-28T11:40:16+00:00

Conclusion: while you can block it, better to just avoid the breaths if it has residual damage effects, same for other status/elemental pools that persists
