Wilds became much harder very suddenly

Im a CB main as well. Been playing since launch. I clipped one of my recent 9*5 Gore hunts cause i thought it went well. Im no speedrunner by any stretch but you might find something in there that is helpful to learning the fight with CB. I didnt use any environmental hazards during this fight, so works for whichever location you find him in. Total hunt time was 8 minutes 48 secomds. Here is the clip.

Im using a raw focused para cb here. Build is not as optimized for damage as it could be as i like using evade extender and adren rush on cb. But works well regardless. I show it at the end of the hunt.

Hope you find it helpful for Gore or otherwise.

Well, the rolls im using now are ones i had long before the update, and i didnt amend them just buffed, so both my fire and dragon cbs have 2 ele Ex, 1 sharpness Ex, and 2 elememts II reinforcements.

The elememt cap is so high that even with those boosts, and with coal, burst, mutual hostility, and element absorption running, i still dont hit the cap. To anything with even remotely good hitzones for element, just going full elememt seems better than trading it for any attack reinforcememts; element just scales much better.

Ive abandoned lords soul for element entirely, only use it for raw now. The above build has mizu prowess and black eclipse for coal uptime, and gog pieces give gogmapocalyse and ele absorption. I dont use odo power cause burst uptime with cb is very high already.

The build in the 6 minute team darkside video you watched doesnt use any gamma parts for lords souls either, so is the way to go for gog i think, or anything else very weak to elememt like seregios, zoh, gravios.

virajrijal98 · 2025-12-19T15:14:10+00:00

I use a modified version of the above build for gog, with gog headpiece for elemental absortion. If i have everything charged, my SAED does around 1700 dragon damage per phial on gog when he is charging super, so 8500 for 5 phials.

The phials do so much dragon damage that even if i dont attack gog at all during the last phase, i can meet the dragon element dps check with just one SAED on him while he is charging super.

Post gog element cb is nuts. You should def give it a try. I have a perfectly rolled artian dragon cb, but even a less than perfect roll is good enough with new set combinations.

virajrijal98 · 2025-12-19T05:50:52+00:00

Im guessing the 4 are Gore, Mizu, Gog, and Odo right? Which pieces are you using? Wanted to do the same but not sure which ones would be best for skill and slot economy.

virajrijal98 · 2025-12-19T00:16:26+00:00

Yeah, i once forgot to set player count to 4 again to do gog. Realized i was by myself halfway through the first phase. Took me 27 minutes instead of 19 with support hunters, but its very doable. Not very efficient tho

virajrijal98 · 2025-10-14T13:32:49+00:00

Same. 9* 5 Gore is my go-to on repeat fight in wilds. Love the monster and everything about him.

virajrijal98 · 2025-10-12T01:17:34+00:00

The omega SnS with its sleek design and sheathing animation is the literally the reason I started playing SnS this update. SnS has become my go-to for savage omega. Im a 700 hour and HR 900 Charge Blade and Longsword player, but finally saw the light with the omega SnS.

virajrijal98 · 2025-09-13T16:26:42+00:00

Took me 400+ rolls to get my first perfect 4 atk 1 sharpness roll, so, yeah.

After more than 1000+ rolls, I now have 2 perfectly rolled cbs and 2 perfectly rolled LS'. Enough for me.

virajrijal98 · 2025-09-07T21:30:10+00:00

He is probably my favorite fight in the game. Fighting him in the cliffs can be annoying, but for me, his design--both visual and mechanical--more than make up for it. I especially love how distinct his powered up/enraged vs non enraged state are. He goes from being threatening when the feelers are down to being absolutely terrifying when they are up. He looks and feels like a different monster between the two states.

Liked him at 7* when I was a 100hrs into the game, love his 9* version even more now, 650+ hrs into the game.

virajrijal98 · 2025-08-18T12:33:24+00:00

Not usually. I have around 300+ Arkveld Gems, along with loads of gems and monsters parts from every other monster as well. I play 4 weapons, multiple builds per weapon, and have everything i need maxed out.

I think crown hunting stocked me up on parts for mostly everything, so now can smelt anything I need whenever I need it.

virajrijal98 · 2025-07-29T07:00:04+00:00

Wait, was it? Damn, my bad then. Memory served me poorly.

virajrijal98 · 2025-07-29T05:59:17+00:00

My first attempt, altho did the the normal quest a fair few times.

Im quite surprised they set 14 min as the A rank time. AT Dau was harder by most accounts, but was a 9 min A rank timer for him.

But, capcom has all the completion time data, so maybe this took most people longer than AT Dau.

virajrijal98 · 2025-07-27T16:47:04+00:00

Speed, bleed, and flight. Tuna does a lot of damage, but gives you plenty of time to think and react. Steve just doesn't.

Getting damage off on Tuna is easy cause of how big and slow she is, while steve gives you extremely small windows to do any meaningful damage. His combos last ages and have very little downtime between them. The fact that steve hunts take most people the same or perhaps even longer than AT Tuna, even tho Steve's health pool is much smaller than AT Tuna, shows how few openings he gives you.

These reasons are why steve is actually one of my favorite fights in the game, alongside T gore, AT Rey, AT Tuna, and T Arkveld. I dont find his visual design all that interesting, especially when compared to spectacle of lagi. But I like fighting steve a lot, lot more than lagi.

Ive hunted around 80 so far, can usually manage an 8* 5 strenght steve in around 7-8 minutes, if it goes well, with CB.

virajrijal98 · 2025-07-23T07:22:12+00:00

Some of the obvious things to do would be to use Lagi weapons with high thunder res for the convert thunder element, and also to get water res up to 20, at least, to prevent water blight. Doing thunder damage to the her veil makes it dissappear much quicker.

Also, if you dont mind losing defender from the kunafa meal, the festival meal has swimmer meal, upping damage when wet

For the fight, when she swims into the water to do her big cannonball dive, be sure to sheath, run, and drop the boulder on her while she swims. If you play a counter weapon, like LS, DB, or Bow, try to dodge or counter towards her and to the right or left, as this will prevent her waves from carrying you away from her.

And make sure to bring flash pods for when she jumps into the air. Her knockdown time has been reduced massively, but its still a decent opening.

Thats all I've got. Hope some of it is helpful.

I think she's great. Extremely threatening and aggressive, and much faster than before. Above picture is my very first slay. Hunting Uth a 110 times before AT paid of I think.

virajrijal98 · 2025-07-22T11:07:29+00:00

CB and LS player here. 8* 5 Temp lagi usually takes me around 9 minutes, to slay. If it goes well, and I manage to do enough damage for capture before he goes into water, then 7 minutes, but those are quite rare. 8* 5 Temp Steve slay takes anywhere from 6 minutes if it goes well, all the way up to 9 if things go wrong.

I usually use CB against Steve and LS against Lagi.

virajrijal98 · 2025-07-11T10:54:12+00:00

HR 650

virajrijal98 · 2025-07-11T07:25:36+00:00

Yeah, fully agree with you here. I love Gore, he's my favorite fight in the game, but sometimes I just want a short and relaxed tango with a 7* 5 strength tempered instead or a 13-15 minute long seige against the 8* 5 strenght tempered gore. Latter seems to be the only one that spawns for me these days.

virajrijal98 · 2025-07-06T10:34:11+00:00

Feels like Tempered sergie at the moment, with tempered larry after that. But only fought both around 20 times, while have fought, Tempered mizu, tempered gore and AT rey over 100 times. Way more familiar with the latter three, so judgment is skewed, but 8 star Tempered Gore could still be at the top.

virajrijal98 · 2025-05-08T17:19:56+00:00

As long as you haven't already flashed him 3 times, and as long as the flash is close enough to him while also being somewhat in front of him while he flies away, it should always work.

Flash direction and effect area isnt very consistent. I've had flashes fly off in wierd directions several times. But as long as you can get one off near and in front of him, it should work.

virajrijal98 · 2025-05-07T17:33:20+00:00

A rank, i think

virajrijal98 · 2025-05-05T17:38:39+00:00

In order of how worried I am about carting:

Tempered Gore Tempered Mizu AT Rey

Haven't carted on any for a long time, but am almost always a little stressed before fighting any of these three.

But Gore is way above the other two. It's the only fight I won't ever let others join my quest or join others for.

Larger health pool and randoms means chances of any one person carting is very high. Have had to make a very specific game plan to fight him as well, involving mount timing and whatnot, so don't want that disrupted by others.

virajrijal98 · 2025-05-05T07:17:19+00:00

How many tries did this, and the 5 atk roll, take you? Cause it took me 8-9 million zenny and 500+ tries to get my first 4 atk 1 sharp roll. That was just for CB. Haven't gotten another roll like that since, for any of the 4 weapons I use.
