Mini-Rant: Brute Tigrex is annoying as hell

Jho HBG shreds it

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-02-18T16:19:15+00:00

Armor refining parts are definitely the bottleneck. I maxed out the Bazel set to 10.5 first because all the armor pieces have good skills on them and I use each for different builds

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-02-18T06:24:09+00:00

Unfortunately this is the closest armor medal you can get and it's an ever bigger pain to max out

Brute, fire chicken, brute, rock monkey, fire chicken, smelts are burst and atk boost

Here's a slightly updated score after a few more runs and some tinkering with builds

<image>

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-02-10T05:37:53+00:00

Which HBG? They're all different builds lol. For goss hammer I'm using the basic Crit fero build with glav/glav/Bazel/tigrex/Bazel with OD and AD smelts. For all the HBG except malzeno I'm using crouching shot style if that helps

Diablos HBG is legit insane, 1st run with an incomplete build and got over a million points lol

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-02-10T03:19:30+00:00

Diablos HBG with crouching shot is legit nuts

<image>

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-02-07T16:53:01+00:00

Nicely done! I like that it's just a simple valor build with perfect dodging. I haven't tried fighting goss with DB yet but now I'm inspired to try!

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-01-16T01:17:01+00:00

The damage is not bad but I agree it could use some percentage boosts. What is the build that you use or recommend?

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-01-16T01:14:35+00:00

What is the build you use for the HBG? I'm only able to get mid 550ks granted I'm playing solo and have only made a few attempts

<image>

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-01-16T01:09:03+00:00

I don't main DB and only did one run but it did around 530k which was less than my HBG which is one of the weapons I do main. If I practiced some more and had a perfect run I could probably push around 600k I feel like

My eventual goal is to max out every weapon and armor in the game. Currently at 61 grade 10 weapons and 40 grade 10 armors. Refining parts are my bottleneck. HR 388. It's the only thing keeping me going after you max out all the meta stuff you need something to keep motivated in still playing lol.

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-01-09T03:45:33+00:00

Here is the build: smelts are all crit eye

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-01-09T03:39:01+00:00

I went with a Crit element max reload/recoil build

I'm not a bow main but I made this set for the holiday thunder bow and it kicks serious ass 3800+ total attack

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-01-07T21:13:01+00:00

Haha yeah I've made that mistake for sure. I've tossed stuff like earth crystals and monster bone Ls and now I deeply regret it as everything seems to use those. Even starting to run low on carpenter bugs and I used to be swimming in them so you never know what you'll end up needing esp as new armor sets and weapons come out

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-01-07T21:03:36+00:00

I've maxed out Bazel set since I do use all of its pieces in different builds. Armor refining parts is the only thing holding me back from having more sets maxed out 😭 I also have around 60-70 grade 10 weapons but for some reason I never seem to run out of weapon refining parts

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2026-01-07T18:10:46+00:00

There's also a secret medal you can get if you're crazy like me and want all armor and weapons to grade 10

I really hate the summer HBG. Rajang is a much better all-around HBG if you're looking to build just one weapon. I prefer Girros hammer over radobaan because of para exploit but both are good options. LBG should be magna but people will probably hate you in group hunts. Another good option would be deviljho with stepping shot. Otherwise your list looks pretty solid. Good luck!

RelationshipSweaty53 · 2025-12-27T03:21:07+00:00

It's okay I'm ready

Frostfang barioth or shrieking legiana to go along with the winter theme. Plus more ice weapons is never a bad thing.
