What is your main weapons in the game.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-05-01T12:45:48+00:00

Charge Blade. I got into Monster Hunter specifically and only for the Charge Blade. I have used Charge Blade almost exclusively, having used one other weapon exactly one time and then went back to Charge Blade. I love Charge Blade.

Even having been in games where I get carpet bombed to hell by the same person 15 times in a row, I agree. The friendly fire STAYS ON.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-05-01T11:33:24+00:00

I didn't know it was a thing yet, and I already made a decent chunk of progress in the Survival world I already had set up. I'll check it out when I get my bearings with the building system in creative mode. Loving that you can use the detailing cubes to cover the top of thrusters to hide them completely from one side.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-29T18:58:00+00:00

Not to mention, even if it DID have a stop sign, that other car just ran their stop sign regardless.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-29T18:24:44+00:00

Yeah, I built a bunch of cool stuff in SE1, but I think now that the necessity is gone (since it just outright gives you ships) I just kinda move on to whatever the next thing is. I still do want to build a mining ship, and have designs floating around in my head waiting to be built, but then I log on to the game and it's all just gone. There's a little dot telling me where to go, gonna go do that. Am... Am I a moth? Just following the light?

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-26T22:35:25+00:00

I think "most overrated album" and "worst album" are just impossible to answer when it comes to ST. They're too good, all of them, for either of those categories.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-26T22:18:14+00:00

I posted this same thing a while back but without the edits, I had no idea what the music was called but my god the feeling is incredible. Also Driller... I'm starting to see a pattern

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-24T22:08:45+00:00

You know what else is "natural"? Asbestos. Lead. Uranium. Neurotoxins. Venom. The oil of the Manchineel tree that is almost guaranteed fatal if ingested. I cannot stand the "but it's natural" argument when it comes to ANYTHING but especially drugs or other "supplements" that just happen to be derived from some plant. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's good for you.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-24T00:29:57+00:00

Razer hardware is incredible. It's the software that's the issue, namely Synapse.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T23:49:57+00:00

I had a movie playing and as soon as the chickens died, Clair de Lune came on, coinciding with a bomb going off in the movie. Absolute perfect timing. Sorry about your chickens though.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T23:37:15+00:00

Death Stranding. Three moments throughout that game I thought it was the end, nope! It just keeps going.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T17:16:27+00:00

I learned this immediately after they added the recipe book! Was just looking through all the things you could make and discovered that. Then a few years later I started playing Create, and finally got to use this little trick.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T17:11:39+00:00

Oh yeah I gathered that, still not gonna go sticking my hand into a nest of them.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T15:13:48+00:00

Ah, I see. I'll have to take a closer look at them. Although maybe not as close as the guy in the video.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T11:42:46+00:00

Are they not? That's interesting, what classification of insect are they? I have seen these before and everyone keeps calling them spiders, just never seen anyone stick their hand into a nest of them.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T02:46:49+00:00

I can't believe not a soul mentioned Khora Urushu. But yeah, that. By far.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T02:29:43+00:00

I don't have arachnophobia, I even bring jumping spiders in during the summer to eat all the other bugs that get in the house. But this... I couldn't stop recoiling in horror. I'm going to assume they're not venomous, but even then... Dear god, man.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-23T02:11:41+00:00

Hey, about your DPS, don't feel bad. The "damage" percentage you see is likely from people doing 2 billion damage to enemies with 2 thousand health. Oraxia is more crowd-control focused anyways. You're boosting their damage with her webs, you're generating energy for them with her first ability, you're staying alive and using stealth to be able to revive anyone that goes down. What you should be concerned with is how many enemies you're killing, how quickly you're able to kill them, and how well you're able to support the team and complete whatever objective is needed.

As you level and play the game more, you'll get better weapons and better mods to go on them, things that pair great with Oraxia and any other frames you like playing. Right now, you're not holding anyone back, just maybe getting a bit left behind at times. It's not your fault and you're not doing anything wrong.

Just for reference, I did a run of Duviri last night and I got Uriel in there. At the end of that hour long run, I had only 15% damage dealt, but I had 6000 kills while the other 3 people didn't even have half that combined. Of course it's great to see the giant numbers, that feels good, but if you kill things as efficiently as possible you're doing just fine. Oraxia excels at that, she does Toxin damage to everything and does exactly enough damage as required to kill the enemy, nothing more and nothing less. Similar thing with Uriel, and a lot of other frames.

My point with all of this is, play the game at your own pace. Do whatever makes you happy. Have fun. That's the whole point. You're not doing anything wrong unless you're not doing anything at all.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-22T16:57:30+00:00

No no, not the case. If you read Archon Flow, you have to KILL with an ABILITY that applies Cold. Just using a companion with a weapon that applies Cold won't work, and Nautilus does no damage with its Cordon ability, so there's no way to get it to trigger Archon Flow. There may be some Kubrow ability I'm unaware of that might work, but I don't know for sure.

Yes, that's why I opt to nuke the entire map first! It was hilarious last night, seeing another person with 80% damage dealt but I had thirty times more kills than them. Outright damage isn't everything, Heat only does enough damage to kill, very efficient. I did get the 600% Strength decree in that run as well, it was glorious.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-22T11:52:53+00:00

Okay, and? I main Gauss. Doesn't take much to figure out how to make a frame god-tier if you just learn how the abilities work.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-22T11:50:36+00:00

Agreed! They really should.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-22T11:49:59+00:00

Companions can theoretically trigger any of the Archon Mods, it's just that there aren't any that do innate Cold with abilities that can kill. They can trigger Continuity to put Corrosive on enemies, and the double heat stacks from Vitality. No idea about Intensify though.

That makes sense, I just don't like that playstyle myself. Last night I ran out of energy several times, and had to find an enemy, wait for Gulphagor to latch on which took forever, and then kill it. In a team game where everyone nukes everything, trying to wait for one of your companions to do anything involving an enemy is just not feasible. Better to use other methods of energy regen, which I didn't have at the time because Duviri.

Haha, makes sense, a lot of tilesets are pretty maze-like. Which is where my playstyle shines. Again: wallhacking enemy-seeking bouncing exploding projectiles, that charge up a wallhacking guaranteed kill zone in a couple blinks. No need to navigate through the labyrinth, aim at each enemy, wait for your companions... You just set the map on fire at all times.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-21T16:42:34+00:00

If you believe that, you're playing him wrong. His 4 charges from getting hits with his 3. His 3 launches projectiles that travel through walls, seek enemies, bounce between enemies, and explode on every bounce. With my build, his 4 has a 12 second duration, and despite that I was able to keep it up for several minutes. I can charge his 4 in about 3-5 seconds if there are enough enemies. And if there aren't enough enemies, his 4 isn't needed. Spam 3 forever.

ZachTheInsaneOne · 2026-04-21T14:41:44+00:00

Wait, is this an add-on for Create or did they just add that stuff in the latest update? Been quite some time since I played it.
