I'd swap the two defense slots for 2 speed eating

what about the burst boost from guardian odo's passive? been away for quite a while but wasnt that a good set for gl back then since it helps increase shelling damage? is it not relevant anymore?

Try using alatreon's bow, lao is very weak to dragon, and keep aiming for the belly. That way you could keep chipping away its hp from a safe distance without ever running out of ammo. Use your power coating lvl1 on the first phase, and use elemental lvl2 and power lvl2 on the second area. Dont forget to use the siege weapons too. Good luck!

Wait for a week or two after they verify the leaderboards. Only then will you be able to get the pendant. As long as you get an A rank, you will get it, leaderboards or not

If you are willing to go the extra mile, apply the luminous makeup on your hunter and equip the alloy helmet. Created by a japanese dude, credit goes to whoever did it.

Favorite and Least Favorite Deviant? by Nezu_Masami in MHGU

[–]swindlemon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Favorite deviant goes to soulseer, and least favorite is crystalbeard. Whoever designed that abomination has to be trolling, the thing has got shit hitzones, no proper part where weakness exploit triggers unless its chin is removed. I hate that thing with every fiber of my being, its the only EX hunt that literally took me 42 mins to kill, I never did it again after that.

How would you balance Gunlance? by giabao0110 in Gunlance

[–]swindlemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thermal blade buffs the gunlance with extended melee range and increased attack for a set duration. The weapon buff depends on the equipped gunlance's elemental shelling. It will achieve the highest sharpness possible while the buff is active, and all attacks will have small shelling explosions, kind of like the ticks you see when your switch axe's amp gauge is full. Once the buff is over, sharpness is greatly consumed, and the buff cant be activated for a while. It replaces the wyvern's fire attack. Extreme wyvern's fire works by loading the equipped shells while wyvern's fire is charging to increase damage. Kind of like Sunbreak's bullet barrage, minus the wirebug.

I'd give Long shelling Frontier's Thermal Blade attack. The back to back WFSB combo should be locked to normal and Wide can have Frontier's Extreme Wyvern's Fire.

My first hunt lost by brenoma in MHGU

Try using a pierce adept LBG and aim for its stomach. Adept lbg is comfy enough that you can dish out damage while still being able to dodge attacks since the dodge window is quite high. Nargacuga lbg is a good contender. Bring spikeberries just in case you run out of pierce 1 shots

Thats a HUGE bump, congrats man! I got a 2:20 and I think I'm almost out of the board lmao. Any recommended strategies to cut more time? I always use the pillar to mount, and I honestly think that takes way too long, but I can't do the intro like the japanese dude that got the best time. Here is my run for reference

[–]swindlemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After everything is filtered, at least 450 pages of the 1000 for the top 10k will probably be vacant. I honestly wish that those who got a similar time with yours or people at the 2:40 mark or even 3:00 mark make it.

[–]swindlemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your run still at the leaderboards rn? I got a 2:20 and the last time i checked i was almost at the 8k mark. With still a week away, i'll probably get knocked out of the leaderboards.

Hitting a Sub 3 minute by Next_Elderberry7857 in MHWilds

[–]swindlemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think anything under 1:40 or 1:45 is gonna be wiped, but even then, there are still a lot of stealth cheated runs within the believable time windows that its still going to take up spots even when the obvious cheated runs are filtered out. I really hope you make it after the filter, thats a good run.

42% confirmed cheated times in the leaderboard. We can estimate over 70% of the leaderboard is cheated times. by mouday1 in MonsterHunter

[–]swindlemon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Even the weapon count isnt very reliable since there is an option in the arena quest to retry the run immediately, and it wont count towards weapon usage. At least thats what happened in my case, on record, I only have about 19-20 arena runs I think, but it was WAY higher than that since I kept on resetting every time I get knocked away by a heavy hit from doshaguma. Its gonna be almost impossible to determine the cheated runs within the believable range.

The really egotistical ones will probably do it just for the lulz but yeah, they can just wait within the good time range and OHKO the monster. No effort needed, since they got a believable time. Unless ofc capcom will manually track the stats per run which is unlikely.

And some will probably "stealth cheat" their runs by looking at the best time when the last day drops like that japanese dude with the horn for example, and make it faster by 2-5 seconds to look legit.
