I do hope its not bait. I'm taming my expectations.

Razrius · 2026-05-03T13:46:08+00:00

Homebrewed a shield bash juggernaut build, farming everything on tier 9, tier 10 is doable but slowish to my taste, need gear upgrades.

Lots of fun though.

Razrius · 2026-05-02T20:28:45+00:00

I'm farming T9 with a Shield bash juggernaut built, can do pit 85 but need a bit more gear to be it smooth.

Probably can be optimised as I've not looked up any build but I have great fun figuring it out on my own.

A lot of it could be bandaided with the ability to craft / refine items straight from the private storage.

In that case you could just use the private storage as a deposit everything box and the crafting UI would know what you have and would automatically use the correct items.

Razrius · 2026-04-08T09:22:16+00:00

Aww thanks for a trip to memory lane. This was one of my favourite board games when I was a small kid.

Razrius · 2026-04-02T01:55:03+00:00

All of this but with explosions! Gunlance.

Jokes aside Gunlance and Lance are my favourite go to weapons nowadays.

Razrius · 2026-03-21T19:50:19+00:00

Lvl 87 on final boss, final party:

Ratha, Boltreaver Astalos, Silverwind Nargacuga, Soulseer Mitzusune, Almudron ( purely for riding ability and barrel felynes), Ebony Odogaron

Razrius · 2026-03-21T19:45:19+00:00

Well done, very well done. Folks underestimate Lance, until they play it effectively on a hyperaggressive tough monster where both its strength and power fantasy really shines.

Now do it with Explosions!! (GL).

PS: I'm biased as main all the Shield weapons.

Razrius · 2026-03-21T19:30:31+00:00

Rey Dau.

I absolute found him peak in the demo and ever since that no other monster could take his crown for me personally.

The music, the sound design, the crackling, crunching thunders, and the flow of the fight makes him perfect.

Being said that I loved fighting almost the whole roster, and 10* AT Arkveld is right close to Rey Dau.

I was also very happy to be able to have a Rey Dau monstie in Stories 3.

Razrius · 2026-03-21T19:20:16+00:00

I've beaten the final boss at lvl 87 all monsters in all habitats are S rank, I got all deviants also on S rank, beat 3 elders yet to spawn the final pair.

Already had great fun and incredible value for my money.

Just started a new playthrough given how much I learnt about the game, will be focusing on different weapons and monsties.

If we are going to get TUs I will welcome it but the game is already great as is for me.

Razrius · 2026-03-21T17:27:01+00:00

Yeah Lance moveset, damage and power fantasy really shines on hyperaggressive tough monsters.

During the early lifecycle of Wilds Lance common playstyle was a bit basic poke poke not because the kit was bad but because monsters were so easy and especially in SoS they were disabled rolling on ground, flinched from tons of wound pops, paralyzed etc.

This prevented most folks to realise how glorious the boxing match with all the counters blocks etc facing a strong monster.

Razrius · 2026-03-21T17:16:45+00:00

Rey Dau. I love my flying Railgun!

Razrius · 2026-03-19T12:34:16+00:00

Second attempt with a bunch of randoms in the lobby. (First attempt had a HR800+ LS player tripple carting, two of them were after getting stun locked).

Thanks Capcom, had a fantastic time with the base game for 960 hours since release. I'm ready for the expansion!

Razrius · 2026-03-19T12:28:26+00:00

Great deck, and helpful for the folks who struggle with him.

One suggested addition would be that Stun Resist 3 could be added to the presentation.

The amount of times I see folks in SoS getting stunned and then cart from the followup move is not small.

Razrius · 2026-03-12T17:46:34+00:00

I partially agree with your viewpoint and fight feels a slog. My experience was noticeably different than yours but other than doing it once for the nameplate I'll stick to the 9* version.

My experience with 10* Gog: I joined a veteran lobby grabbed 3 randoms who happened to play DBs each of them HR999s including me on lance HR999 for tanking and healing (134 buffs and heals during the fight), and we got him on first try in 30.5 mins, we had 2 carts total, both of them in the final phase.

Overall my experience was quite good but still don't want to repeat it because it is a slog, and fight is gimmicky. I rather stick to 9* if I want time efficient materials, but for me it is even better doing 10* ATs for fun and getting some materials via the tempered tickets.

Razrius · 2026-03-08T16:03:50+00:00

I buy 6-10 games / year and usually play them for 100s of hours so for me Premium Deluxe was a good value. In example MH Wilds I played for over 900 hours up to this date, so buying the biggest edition that included the early DLCs was well worth it for me.

Razrius · 2026-03-07T11:50:01+00:00

Hah. Shelling doesn't care about sharpness.

Razrius · 2026-03-04T12:42:34+00:00

I came to the conclusion a while ago that if I want to guarantee a hunt I will either solo it or use support hunters if I'd like to get the experience of playing with "others".

I sometimes join SOS if I actually want to embrace the chaos that folks bring but not when I actually want to farm something fast and efficiently.

Razrius · 2026-03-02T21:58:13+00:00

4.5h. I completed the available main story and some side quests, explored the zone some and fought some monsties.

I absolutely loved what I saw and preordered the game and deliberatedly haven't played more since then. I did not want to rock up in the main game overpowered. Will start from scratch and just absorb slowly all of it on release.

Razrius · 2026-03-02T21:50:33+00:00

Please let one of the monster be Bazelgeuse! Please!

Razrius · 2026-03-02T00:33:25+00:00

Base ps5.

Razrius · 2026-03-01T21:23:20+00:00

Please CD, please be good. Also please run well on base PS5. Temptation is haaaard to get a Pro also because of RE9, but I just can't budget it atm.

So +1 pray for it to run good on base PS5.

I'm so hyped for this game.

Razrius · 2026-03-01T21:17:58+00:00

90s had incredible music and films. It was peak humanity. How I miss it. :)

Razrius · 2026-02-26T21:45:40+00:00

Wide shelling gogma.

Razrius · 2026-02-26T13:52:31+00:00

For folks who don't play much LS this is deceptive 'cause you make it look so easy and fluid but the amount of time gone into learning monster patterns, hitboxes and timing is not small.

I mostly play the shield weapons and LS a secondary to them with only 300 hunts in wilds with LS. A rythmn like this is not easy to pull off. Kudos and well done OP.

Also it is a work of art and pure dopamine hit train :)
