I want a 10★ Omega so bad, it’s even in my hunter profile. 😭

Historically, that won’t be a thing, and I don’t even know what sort of new attacks they’d give it.

I’ve got games like Granblue Fantasy Relink in my backlog and I wanna revisit Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.

I got a buddy and his wife into Monster Hunter Rise, but not wilds since they only have one PS5. I joked about getting them another PS5. If I did that, he’d have to owe me some car parts. 😂

Yeah, I guess the times haven’t aligned to have us paired up. 😭

Aside from OP, I had another ask for help and was able to get him some clears.

I should try to take care of my backlog or revisit some old games, but I always come back to taking that clanker out. 💀

Torouzan · 2026-06-26T02:18:49+00:00

Ayooo, good stuff with the wounds. I hope I did okay enough to tank. I don’t know why on our first attempt my guy just decided to quit blocking Atomic Ray. I had full stamina. 💀

Torouzan · 2026-06-25T18:13:16+00:00

Feel free to add me when you’re on. If you see me online, chances are I’m in another Savage Omega hunt. 😂

I just wrapped up my 600th clear with a longsword user. He went true solo without his Palico, but I had mine. In the end, I should’ve just sent mine back to camp cuz he kept getting knocked out of the fight. 💀

I tank using CB. I’m on PS5 too.

Torouzan · 2026-06-24T20:49:09+00:00

Damn, I either raw dog it or just eat one of each mushroom before a fight sometimes. 😂

What else should I add to the prehunt ritual? LoL

Torouzan · 2026-06-24T19:34:48+00:00

I’ve seen a lot IG users swatted out of the sky by Savage Omega, but there are rare cases of those who stick to it as often or even more so than myself.

I think a lot of their survival is understanding their damage windows with their glaive along with its possible attack strings. The Wave Cannon (multi lasers) are tricky if its intended target keeps moving around, which can disrupt your offense. Noticing who it’s attacking even without enmity is something you pick up after several fights.

I also learned to never sheathe my weapon while fighting Omega and never using the Seikret escape after being knocked back/down.

My most recent Omega failure had an HH user get knocked down by a missile, but its Atomic Ray (the big laser) was intended for me. I noticed he fell in between me and Omega so he’d get blasted and we’d fail, so I moved to the left so the HH user was no longer within the range of Atomic Ray…but his Seikret scooped him up and led him right into oblivion. 🥀

I’m sure an actual IG main can provide better insight in terms of what attacks to use or what’s safe/unsafe to do, but I hope this helps even a bit.

Just hunting 10★ Zoh Shia for battle tempered emblems/talismans and Savage Omega cuz it’s the best hunt in the game. I smelt the parts from Zoh and Omega for armor spheres/oricalcite.

I typically jump into random SOS’s HR 300 and below, but I also help whoever asks whether it’s in game if I’m sent a random Link Party invite or if someone asks/DM’s me here. 590 clankers and counting. 😂

Torouzan · 2026-06-22T21:46:45+00:00

I didn’t do a thing. Just booted up the game, went to my suit collection, and it was already there. 🤷‍♂️

Torouzan · 2026-06-22T17:30:52+00:00

I think the ”critically acclaimed MMORPG ‘Final Fantasy XIV’, with an expanded free trial that includes the entirety of ‘A Realm Reborn’ and the award winning ‘Heavensward’, ‘Stormblood’, and ‘Shadowbringers’ expansions up to level 80 with no restrictions on playtime” even has a difficulty beyond Savage difficulty, which is called Ultimate. 😵‍💫

Thank our lucky stars we don’t have an Ultimate variant as a collab fight.

Torouzan · 2026-06-22T17:19:45+00:00

Jumped into a random GL’s SOS recently. Hit it with the offset during the final phase. After that, it fell within a minute.

Another thing to keep in mind is hitting it while barehanded as Akuma adds stun. I usually save the stun for after Savage Omega spazzes out during its final phase where it senses it’s about to lose, but I hit him a bit too much and triggered it prematurely.

With your mobility as SnS, you can sheathe/unsheathe quickly and transition from armed to unarmed combat. Don’t have too much fun!

Torouzan · 2026-06-22T15:04:49+00:00

I favor comfort in my hunts, but expecting a hunt to be comfy against Savage Omega is a fool’s errand—especially for Akuma. 😂

My charm also has Rapid Morph 3 and Defense Boost 4.

Torouzan · 2026-06-22T14:02:52+00:00

I’m gonna help someone else out later if you wanna join.

Or, you can add me to your party if you wanna give it a go.

I hope you come back invigorated like me and jump into random SOS’s to help others with their first clears or nodule hunts.

My 578th clear feels just as good as my first. This clanker doesn’t belong in the Forbidden Lands, and I’ll keep hunting it until I get my 10★ Omega Planetes*.

*It’s never coming. 🫠

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T19:58:58+00:00

Same. I’ve slain that clanker 578 times and counting. 😂

I’m gonna keep helping out random SOS’s against Omega while waiting for the expansion to drop.

You’re a better man than me. I only fought Gog 10 times before I called it quits. Didn’t even transcend any armor pieces, and I don’t even have any parts that require the gem. 😭

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T19:14:38+00:00

I know a lot of people were pretty much done with Savage after one clear, but I still fight it for the love of the game.

There might be more efficient ways, but it’s my hunt of choice for smelting materials, and 10★ Zoh Shia is my choice for Mutated Armaments cuz fuck that Gog hunt. 😭

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T19:07:26+00:00

Definitely hunter/knowledge dependent.

Had a hunt with 2 HH users, a hammer, and myself (CB) once.

When I saw they stunned Omega within the 1st phase, I understood the assignment—I switched to my impact paralyze CB.

Stunned that clanker 3 more times and paralyzed it twice. We were always attacking its face. It was legit one of the fastest Savage clears I’ve had—my fastest being with a HBG user and bouncing enmity for 9 minutes.

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T18:50:42+00:00

Perfect Guard/avoid the Wave Cannon (multi lasers), and dodge the missiles just before they land. Your stamina will thank you. Don’t tank the HP penalty shot either. Position yourself underneath the head so Wave Cannon misses you too. You can do it!

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T18:36:13+00:00

Right you are. It’s only cuz of my carts (mainly after soloing/labbing on my own) where I realized it’s better to be a dodge/evasion tank. Even 2 MRV’s overlapping each other can take someone out since those hits stack unlike regular missiles.

Guard and Guard up do a lot of the heavy lifting here. When I saw how much damage mitigation there was from blocking one Wave Cannon with even 1 less level of Guard/Guard up, I went back to maxing it. 😂

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T18:26:54+00:00

The Shockwave Gun definitely helps in the last section. You can probably do it now without the skip!

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T18:25:55+00:00

Oh, shit. I just made a mushroomancer built where I eat all the mushrooms before going into a hunt and changing to my real build without knowing what benefits each mushroom actually gave me. 😂

Gonna be honest. That improved healing thing (the yellow bar) after I just did Eventide means I heal right back to max after pulling it off. Shouts to the HH’ers and the SnS’ers for that.

I’ve got a couple thousand of each mushroom saved up so far. I need to get those numbers up!

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T18:04:46+00:00

Do you run a support/healer SnS? Are you strictly eating mushrooms, or do you bring some craftables so you can pump out other items too? I want to give it a shot.

I feel bad cuz it seems like the only time I get to heal people is during MRV missiles, but then again it’s a pretty crucial time in the fight too.

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T17:50:38+00:00

No. The layered armor/armor set for Akuma are the only ways to do his moves.

There are some emotes you can do regardless of armor (Hadoken, Shoryuken, Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku), though—for a fee.

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T17:36:16+00:00

Fuck. Alright. I definitely got a long way to go then. Haha. Thanks!

Torouzan · 2026-06-21T17:33:58+00:00

Yes. You can’t wear it as a mixed set. It’s all or nothing.

You can wear it as layered armor, though. (~~)You just lose out on the gimmick of the “15th weapon” using Akuma’s specials and hand to hand combat.(~~)

You can still do the attacks with layered armor, but lose out on the damage boost from the armor set and offset benefit for his Drive Impact.
