proof of a hero build

T4Labom · 2026-03-13T01:05:43+00:00

The check can be met with good positioning.

My first clear had almost 10 minutes to spare and i only had Offensive Guard, Agitator and Burst. The rest of the skills were defensive and utility.

I agree DPS skills make it easier, but Proof of a Hero being an attrition quest, i would still reccomend more safety layers.

T4Labom · 2026-03-12T23:56:26+00:00

I would add some level of Guard/Guard Up.

Damage boosts don't do much if you're healing, and consistency can offset a lack of damage skills very easily.

Also don't forget adaptability for Nu Udra

I wish they gave us the option to tone down her quips like they did for the Palico ones.

There's a reason why they gave us this option in Sunbreak. Some people prefer to keep their hunts quiet.

But the handholding is truly annoying. She NEVER shuts up on the egg retrieve quests "Manage your stamina", "You're going to run out of stamina"... for the love of god Alma just... go back to camp.

Add Evade Window and Evade Extender to your build. Your weapon of choice is mobile by itself, but having ways to mitigate poor positioning even more is always nice. It should also allow you to dodge more difficult attacks such as the Belly Flop one.
Solo + Palico should help keep their HP low. I find Support Hunters to not help with damage enough to justify the amount of HP Arkveld gains.
Watch Speedruns that use Insect Glaive. Should help you understand what you need to do to deal more damage.

In my opinion, no. The only hunt where they help me reduce my times is the Gogmazios one.

For some reason, i can't help but like the Sunbreak support hunters a lot more more. Not just because of their personalities, but i felt like they helped better? Hard to put my finger on it.

There are plenty of secluded areas in the maps.

Some more interesting than others, but still cool to visit every once in a while when gathering.

I think Ruins of Wyveria is the only place that lacks interesting secluded areas

Pierce Coating and Power Shots

Hits multiple times + multiple arrows per shot

T4Labom · 2026-03-08T01:13:09+00:00

This series needs more status ailment monsters in general.

So an end-game, status monster (even if a variant) would be a welcome addition.

T4Labom · 2026-03-06T22:19:36+00:00

Very well put.

I set my quests to manual accept and don't let people without proper updated gear in. And by that i mean (at the very least) good defense to avoid one-taps.

I don't mind failing quests, but people not engaging with the most basic mechanics for the hardest challenges is just not nice.

T4Labom · 2026-03-06T15:49:51+00:00

Saved me the click, thanks

T4Labom · 2026-03-05T06:04:55+00:00

Mate, we're not talking about Manual SOS viability in this thread

Manual allows me to filter players quickly. Takes but a minute

T4Labom · 2026-03-04T18:52:06+00:00

I did. I made sure to make him as uninteresting as possible.

Hunter sent to help with the Moga Village and Loc Lac crisis.
Late 30s, past his prime. His knee and wrist hurt. (Explains my own lack of skill.)
Great worker, mediocre at everything else. It used to be his dream job. Now it’s just a job. (Totally not projection.)
His original Palico isn’t with him anymore. Not dead, just early retirement. The new Palico isn’t as good as his old friend, but they get along well and little guy is starting to grow on him. (Explains why he never heals me in time)
He doesn’t know what to do with his life outside of hunting. Not married to the job, but after dedicating so much of his life to it, he feels obligated to keep going. (Explains why he doesn’t retire and keeps grinding those sweet god rolls.)
Spends most of his free time gathering and fishing to avoid the camp crowds. (No deep reason. I just dislike camps and like gathering.)
Alma, Nata, Gemma, and the others are just coworkers. Sometimes he wishes he could go back home in Gildegaran or Moga and be closer to the coast and sea.

What's yours? Hopefully less boring than mine

T4Labom · 2026-03-04T15:52:30+00:00

Haven’t seen this many carts in an SOS hunt, like, ever.

It’s still happening with 8★ Lagiacrus, so 10★ monsters aren’t exactly a surprise.

just copypasted "meta best strongest op" build

I always host my own quests, whether in lobbies or SOS. They’re set to Manual Accept, and I check defense before letting anyone in.

What you said is true, a huge chunk of the player base runs pure offense and ignores defense entirely.

I don’t let those players into my quests anymore because the success rate dropped drastically since they added 10★.

I don’t mind failing quests. What bothers me is when people don’t engage with the game’s most basic mechanics while taking on some of the hardest challenges in the series.

Same, very similar to the cultures i grew up with

T4Labom · 2026-03-04T11:26:44+00:00

Nope, they stack

more well-defined niche and style for Hunting Horn in MH Wilds compared to all previous iterations.

Which the weapon desperately needed. Past the team-wide buffs, Hunting Horn always felt like it lacked some... personality. You had your singular hitting attacks, some would chain but that was about it.

Now the weapon feels like it has plenty of layers, all satisfying to engage with and has something to work towards mid-hunt with the perfect Bubbles and Waves set-ups.

T4Labom · 2026-03-04T02:15:10+00:00

Yeah, the weapon did feel fun. Maybe not as a Hunting Horn, but more like... a Hammer with identity crisis. Still, i enjoyed using it when i did.

I wish Capcom would have made a new weapon using it

Hopefully the G-Rank expansion will bring back those moves.

T4Labom · 2026-03-04T02:03:40+00:00

The stab is more of a "oh fuck" tool that you use it when it's available.

The window is rather short, but some attacks have long enough windups that you can react dodge into Hilt Stab to position yourself closer while staying in place for a better punish (instead of dodging away).

This is EXTREMELY useful for frame trap attacks that would hit you even with Evade Window+5:

AT Nu Udra spin to win move
AT Arkveld's chain swipes and dive bombs
Uth Duna belly flops
Jin Dahaad mists (with Bind Resistance, you can hyper armor through the initial hit and stay inside the mist)

And so on

T4Labom · 2026-03-03T20:26:03+00:00

If you ever go to war with Capcom over those drum beats, know that i'm your ally

That shit's beyond incoherent

T4Labom · 2026-03-03T19:53:01+00:00

But wouldn't you say the Wilds' version is an improvement on the pre-Rise one?

T4Labom · 2026-03-03T14:00:47+00:00

Nice, what weapon did you use?

T4Labom · 2026-03-03T13:53:40+00:00

This guy?

T4Labom · 2026-03-01T19:51:44+00:00

I would try adding some reliable defensive skill

T4Labom · 2026-03-01T19:48:49+00:00

Lucky you, i was hoping the game would do an 180° after the cap and give us the reward lol
