Small Edit: There is one additional Weapon i meant to mention for the 2nd Build as a great Weapon Option. The "Dirty Graf" aka the Wroggi SNS. I kept trying to remember what it was i left out, but the long buisness week kinda fried my brain 😅 Thank you to @theonestrokedemon for the reminder 👍🏽
What're your thoughts on the Gold Rathian SnS? It definitely won't beat the Wroggi SnS but it looks like a much more comfier version with more white sharpness and affinity, it could probably open up more slots to add in some comfort skills 🤔
@@Muyshtic I pretty much have the exact same thoughts on it, as you do here 😄It's not going to outperform the other meta " Raw" Damage options we have now, but it's still a very good & comfy Weapon option to fall back on. The Gold Rathian Sns has been one of the most constantly good Weapons, across the entire MH franchise for over 10 years now ^_^
@@YokaiNoxit's always so nice to see a recurring all rounder good weapon that's been around through out the series 🥰 Speaking of which because of the comfiness of the Gold Rathian SnS, and the amount of skills that synergizes with each other I've been thinking about how a build, built around maintaining the upkeep of these skills would be nice, like Foray + Status Trigger + Frenzy/Normal Bloodlust + Adrenaline Rush + Build Up boost would be like, especially since not having to commit much into Crit Eye. Just a random idea that came to mind haha, sorta reminds me of classes in MMOs where you have to keep yourself buffed up by fulfilling various conditions
@@Muyshtic Indeed! Seeing some of the oldschool weapons hold up so well even years later, always feels like home ^_^ I was actually messing around with a very similar Skill setup for Status Sns in general, while running some tests 😄Interestingly the one "issue" that showed itself very early on, is that Status Trigger & Evasion based Skills have lost alooot of value on Sns. It's a result of how well & often we can utilize Switch Skills now. Mathematically there is no scenario were evading an attack to activate Status Trigger & Adrenalin Rush, can outperform going for a Metsu Shoryugeki with Offensive Guard Lv 3. I personally love using Evasion Skills on Sns, whenever i want to go for an extra comfy playstyle ^_^ Now with the inclusion of Wind Mantle & Frenzied Bloodlust i hardly ever feel the need to dodge/evade with Sns though :D Since I have the required Wirebugs to use one of the Counter Switch Skills 95% of the time. And then there's also the new Guard Slash, wich counters an attack and lets you go straight into a perfect rush for extra damage. The other thing is that Status Trigger & Build Up Boost only applies to Hits with the Sword (Since the Shield cannot do Status or Element damage). Wich automatically excludes the Sns most powerfull moves for Raw Damage. It's almost as if they knew it would be too good on Sns otherwise😄
@@YokaiNox Ahh dang, that's a shame to hear. And yeah after trying it out I feel I rarely have to evade with SnS now even if I'm out of wirebugs I still have Guard Slash to fall back on, only time I ever roll is to reposition myself, they really made it more of a "bonus" you get for the SnS rather than something you can incorporate as your main playstyle 😆 I wonder if that kinda status build could work well on some weapons that utilize evading more often, say like Switch Axe or maybe HH 🤔
Its crazy your going through every weapon and making sich goof Builds for each! Nox I cant thank you enouh for always making these videos, please keep going!
Goil, bin seit Monster Hunter now wieder aufn SnS Trip! Ich habe das letzte mal zum Release von Sunbreak auf der Switch SnS gespielt! Jetzt kann es aufm PC weiter gehen! Vielen Dank!😁👍
I really love Sword and Shield, its juat such simple and easy to use! And I also like playing support for my Team so SnS is my go to. Thanks for these Builds!
So true! I hadnt played SNS in a while, but as soon as i picked it up again, it was like i never stopped using it :D Simple, fun and so much great things you can do with it!
Indeed, that gets confusing super easily! 😅I'm suprised they havent given every armor a unviersal name yet. This exact thing threw me for an absolute loop in older MH games too^^
"Sword & Board" feels like such an accurate description now in Sunbreak too. The Shield Bash Switch Skill literally looks like you're surfing towards the Monster on a Board 😂
Great video, much appreciated! Would you consider the water version worth it, considering it has white sharpness instead of natural purple? And if so, is it worth investing in Handicraft to get to purple? 🙂
There's a note in the Video adressing exactly that 😄You can drop a [Attack+ 4] Deco, to add a [Handicraft+ 4] Deco. That will give you 20 Hits of purple, wich lasts quite a good while with Master's Touch. So the Water Sns is definitely worth it aswell👍🏽 Glad you enjoyed the Video! ^_^
@@YokaiNox Cheers for that. I must've zoned out at that part haha. In the meantime, I've also found your raw sns build. From the looks of it, it outperforms the elemental builds.
@@Azarios Yup, elemental Builds for Sns are very case specific. They're only gonna come out ontop if the elemental Hitzones are high enough (atleast 25) and consistantly hittable. And even then Raw will win in some cases due to the Raw Hitzones just being that good/convinient.
Glad you enjoyed it. Right now there are a few other Build Videos ahead of TU6 LS because almost nothing changed for that Weapon Type from TU5 ^^ But there will be another LS Video 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ It sort of depends on 2 things. 1 - Your preferd playstyle/ Switch Skills. (Since there are certain Switch Skills that simply work better for Element than for Raw) 2 - The Monsters elemental Weakness. Usualy when fighting something that has a elemental Hitzone of 30+ that you can hit consistantly, it will be worth going elemental with Sns.
Great video as always👌🏽 is there a chance for a Heavy Bowgun build video? Im getting used to the weapon, especially with shield mode and HP boosting skills like kushala blessing and Blood rite since its so comfy 🤣
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it ! ^_^ I'm thinking of making HBG Builds aswell, but right now it looks like they would be nearly identical to the LBG Builds 😄(Aside from the addet Guard Skills on Shield HBG Builds & ofc taking out the Rapid Fire Skill) I'll do a bit more testing and then let you guys know how it's looking :)
@@YokaiNox yeah bro, currently im using pierce 3 and spread 3, but I also see a lot of elemental pierce HBG videos on youtube and they seem to be nice as well🤔 but downside here is the crafting during the hunt. Pierce and spread are more comfy since I can craft more ammo with 1 loadout
@nawid8122 I'm very familiar with HBG, the best guy to look to for HBG content is Phemeto, dude runs damage numbers very heavily, and I tend to use his guides as a baseline, then remove and add skills I'm more comfortable with. Elemental HBG is very expensive charm wise, look into Furious, dragon conversion, dereliction builds. Ammo consumption is too high not to need extra rounds but the ammo is so insanely overtuned there is no reason not to go with health draining skills, high skill cap and very risky playstyle. Going with comfort skills is generally not done in this playstyle
Hello! nice guide. Question, as a new player If I do a lot of multiplayer w' friends should I continue to run Embolden & slot in Diversion? If so what would I replace?
That's always a bit tricky to answer. In mutiplayer you will get more overall use out of the normal Guard Skill over Embolden. But it's still very usefull. If you like to keep high Level of Guard withou using Embolden, the most efficient way is using a Guard Lv 5 Talisman with similar Slotage to the Crit Eye Talisman showed in the Video. Luckily Guard Lv 5 Talismans are not hard to get at all when you have the endgame melding syytems unlocked! ^_^ Untill then, a Guard Lv 3 Talisman with decent Slotage can work as a subistute aswell. Wich Skill to drop if you'd like to add Diversion, will depend on wich one of the Builds you want to use.
I did do that in a few videos, but since the vast majority of people prefered this format of showcasing the Builds, i stuck with it. If you start with the largest Decoration & work you're way down in size, everything falls into place automatically by default.
@@MTKANAL4 On the topic of old MH games - It's an absolute mystery to me why Capcom hasnt ported some of the older titles over to the switch atleast. Would love to replay some of them! 👌🏽
A great question! It's very situational! Charging it can offer a decent DMG boost, but in most cases we're better off imideatly going for the perfect rush insted. It will depend on the opening you have at the moment. From personal expirience: I've never realy regretted going for it imideatly - But i have regreted charging it and not being able to follow through completely, due to how the situation developed.
@@snoozing7725 No worries, all questions are welcome here at any time! 👍🏽I actually use Guard Slash in the Background Footage of this Video a few times 😄It's a nice addition to the S&S moveset, but it's also very situation & playstyle dependent. Right now it very much feels like you have to know/plan for the situations you're going to use it in, for the hunt ahead. Using it spontanuosly or on reflex can easily backfire, if the smallest thing goes wrong. But if you know exactly how you're going to use it against the Monster you're fighting, it's a great tool to create extra damage openings! In short: It's a good tool that will have exponentionaly increased value, as the users expirience with the Weapon & familiarity with Monster movesets increases.
I have some questions which is the better way to augment armor I'm seeing alot of regular augmentation and some people saying skill plus is a better way.
It entirely depends on wich Skills you are going for & if the particular pece of Armor you are augmenting has any Skills that you dont need. Since Skill+ Augmenting sacrifices 1 or more random Skill Points on an Armor Piece, to increase the chances at getting higher Tier Skills. Skill+ will also Element Resistance & also Defense sometimes (It's nothing to realy worry about, unless you are using something like Dragon Conversion, wich benefits from high E-Resistance.)
Yup, I often end up crafting mutiple copies of the same Armor Pieces. It's alot better than re-augmenting something that already has a good augment on it.
Man… Im really trying to get the same augments on the helmet as you but it’s just not working out for me. It would help a lot with the dual blades build I’m using too. Having level 2 wind mantle would be nice
It's a nice bonus, but absolutely not necesarry! It's a minor bonus, since Wind Mantle's sweet spot is aready at Lv 1. Anything more than that is just icing on the cake^^
@ Okay, that makes me feel better for my bad luck with augments. I’ll keep trying for it while I wait for Wilds to release. But that won’t stop me from enjoying the builds
GS is one of the weapons i'm debating on right now. If so, it's probabbly only going to be 1 or 2 Builds, because not very much changed for GS (a few other weapons are ahead of GS right now though).
I need you advice, I’m back to game, try to end it wanna do hulk junior build I finishing craft today, can you advice what I can use before virtue and Kushala helmet?
Ok, I find out I can use lunagoron helmet for close effects and rathalos arms+coil, I think this is closest thing what I can get. You advice gonna be helpful
There is, but the actual "issue" is, that mathematically Blood Awakening just isnt worth it for Sns. We get alot more bang for our buck by using other Skills insted, like showcased in the Video. Bloodrite can ofc still be addet into any Sns Build if you like!
I got a talisman with crit eye 3 and poison atk 3 + 2 lvl2 slots. Should I just go for the lucent narga sns, or keep the scorned magna one by using my talisman with crit eye 3 and agitator 1 + 2 lvl2 slots?
@@YokaiNox I noticed that I can't run a full crit eye set if I want master's touch 3 (because I can't manage to get the extra lvl2 slot on any of my armor pieces, so I'm using a different talisman!
@@f3fnir You actually dont need max critical Eye. As mentioned in the video, Bloodlust will set you at 100% even if you drop down to Crit Eye Lv 6. Crit Eye Lv 7 is a luxury, but not required at all. But a different Talisman works aswell ofc 👍🏽
All you need is the Slot upgrade! I say in the Video that you dont need to Augment any Skills onto the R.Kushala Helmet 😄 The extra Level of Wind Mantle I got on there is a cool bonus, but literally the least important thing in the Builds.
@@YokaiNox Sorry Im too stubborn I wanted it and I thought all augments removed skills except the defense one :'). Ive been rocking it without the wind mantle +1 and you right, it aint that important, really good build sir.
@@carlosha98No worries, when that Augment dropped on the R.Kush Helmet, I double & tripple checked to make sure i'm actually seeing correctly xD Cause I thought something definitely got removed. But turns out that Wind Mantle & Powder Mantle are actually classified as only "mid" Tier Augments. And therefore can drop with a varity of extras without loosing anything from the Armor Piece. Kinda wild imo 😄 Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate! ^_^
does elemental have similar dps to blast ? feels kinda weird cause every other elemental weapon that i play straight up deals 2x 3x more than its raw counterpart. At least i wont have to augment several different weapons 😂
Yup, that's why i mentioned the Motion Values for Element on S&S being suprisingly low in Sunbreak. That's the reason why Element doesnt pull ahead in this case. It's pretty much equal to Blast, unless you're fighting something with particularly high Element Hitzones & bad Raw Hitzones.
Poison is still good, that's why i mention it on the 2nd Build and show the Lucent Narga Sns as alternative weapon option. The thing that changed, is that a dedicated Build for Poison is no longer as good as it was prior to Endgame. And the Weapon options for it have fallen behind aswell. So now we simply get more overall Damage by taking a different approach.
For now you'll have to downgrade to a regular Attack Jewel then. There's nothing else that can replace that particular Jewel. With how much ATK Boost would you end up in this case ?
@@ChiefVizier 😄Luckily the extra Level of Wind Mantle i have on the helmet is not necesarry at all, as mentioned in the Video^^ So it's actually super easy. Just get a basic Slot upgrade and you're done 👍🏽
I won’t cap man I don’t understand how the hell your getting all these good as rolls for augmentations I can get MOH on tempest without losing either critical boost or heaven sent
Alot of play time 😂Nah to be honest, RNG gives us all a hard time with something. For me it's getting Frenzied Bloodlust as Augment, or Talismans with Strife..It just refuses to drop for me in any kind of usable form 😅
Due to the motion values on Sns and the way Element isnt applied on shield attacks at all, Blood Awakening just isnt realy worth it on Sns. Going with more conventional Skills has a better result for overall DPS.
@@duckybro3298 That Layered Set is made with: - Head: Kunai Earings (can be any similar Head Piece though) - Chest: Buff Body - Arms: Buff Body - Waist: Azure Age Obi - Shui Greaves (Any similar slightly baggy pants works aswell. The one from the final free DLC Layered Armor goes with it very nicely!)
I'm a bit confused 😄Pretty sure you might have missed something there :D Cause i dont mention using a single Master's Touch 4 Deco anywhere in the Video to get full Master's Touch. Asuming you're talking about the first Build - I said you can get full Master's Touch insted of Embolden. Both Skills require [1x Lv 4] & [1x Lv 2] Deco to reach their max Level . So you can perfectly switch them out if you like.
@@ElRoboCigar For Build 2 there's a [Mastery+ 4] & a [Mastery 2] Deco listed on te Deco List. Wich is 3 Levels in total, giving you maximum Master's Touch. I mentioned in the Video that you dont have remove anything on Build 2 to get it, unlike the first Build, wich needs to remove Embolden to get access to full Master's Touch.
r/monsterhuntermeta has a pretty good guide on SNS if anyone wants to know more about the weapon like dmg calcs, dmg loops and so on. Also the dirty graf out-performs any other raw weapon due to most monsters being far weaker to poison than blast so blast is mostly left for stuff like R. Valstrax or any monster weaker to blast rather than poison.
THAT is the one! Fcs! Thank you 😂I kept trying to remember wich other poison SNS i meant to put in the 2nd Weapon Option, but the buisness week fried my brain lol The actual difference in overall DPS between the Graf, ScoMa, Lucent & Tigrex SNS across an AR 250+ Hunt is minimal now. Even with the Graf's outsanding poison. Depending on the target you're hunting the ScoMa SNS is also prefered by quite a few Hunters now. Since Blast can contribute to breaking the affliction threshold, aswell as having the additional stopping force for staggers (wich Poison both cant contribute to). I personally enjoy using both though 👌🏽
@@YokaiNox Your Build 1 was dealing so much more damage over Build 2, my eyes opened so wide! Is it because of the Tigrex SnS and/or the bonus attack skills like coalescence and bloodlust?
@@SSRAFF7 Yup, it's a combination of mutiple DMG factors that leads to that particular Builds high Raw output. But mainly it's due to the Tigrex Sns high initial Raw Attack.
@@SSRAFF7 Due to it not relying on Buildup Boost triggering a 10% increase (to Sword Attacks only) like other Builds using Blast or Poison, I'd say Yes. It is very consistent.👍🏽 Perfect Rush is still very high in damage, when incooperated in your combos correctly.
There are a few things ahead of HBG right now that will go up first. But i might put into a voting poll soon, to see if the request for HBG Builds has increased. If so, it will happen sooner.
Dude how on earth do you get that god talisman? I've spent all of my f-ing resources and I don't seem to be getting any close to get that roll you got over there x3 lv2 gems slots, critical eye lv3 and on top of all that lv2 slugger... What the fuck Man... I'm trying to get better, not lose all my hair...
As I pointed out in the Video, all you need is a Critical Eye Lv 3 Talisman with either 2x or 3x Lv 2 Slots. Wich is not hard to get at all with Cyclus Melding, if you have that unlocked! (And again 2x Lv 2 Slots are enough alreaady) Ans the Slugger ony my Talisman is nothing but a convinient bonus in this case. It's completely unnecesarry. It honestly wich it were something else, because it's literally wasted on most other weapons lol. I'm suprised that you're having such a tough time with a Crity Eye 3 [2-2-2] or [2-2-0] Talisman. This hasnt been an issue for anybody else so far. Kinda strange 🤔Are you sure you're using the correct melding method ?
Small Edit: There is one additional Weapon i meant to mention for the 2nd Build as a great Weapon Option. The "Dirty Graf" aka the Wroggi SNS. I kept trying to remember what it was i left out, but the long buisness week kinda fried my brain 😅

@@YokaiNox neat thanks for the recommendations
I need you advice, I’m back to game, try to end it wanna do hulk junior build I finishing craft today, can you advice what I can use before virtue and Kushala helmet?
Ok, I find out I can use lunagoron helmet for close effects and rathalos arms+coil, I think this is closest thing what I can get. You advice gonna be helpful
@@dimaniho572 Yup, for the Helmet it will be Lunagaron 👍🏽 For the Arms definitely Malzeno. For the Waist either Anjanath or Rathalos.
Is there a good way to fit Blood awakening/Blood Rite into a raw build??
There is, but the actual "issue" is, that mathematically Blood Awakening just isnt worth it for Sns. We get alot more bang for our buck by using other Skills insted, like showcased in the Video. Bloodrite can ofc still be addet into any Sns Build if you like!
can u pls tell me ur layered armor in 4:53?
Of course man! ^_^
- Benevolent Bandage
- Utsushi Mail

I got a talisman with crit eye 3 and poison atk 3 + 2 lvl2 slots. Should I just go for the lucent narga sns, or keep the scorned magna one by using my talisman with crit eye 3 and agitator 1 + 2 lvl2 slots?
In that case run the Lucent Narga Sns with the Crit Eye 3/ Poison ATK 3 /2-2-0/👍🏽
@@YokaiNox I noticed that I can't run a full crit eye set if I want master's touch 3 (because I can't manage to get the extra lvl2 slot on any of my armor pieces, so I'm using a different talisman!
@@f3fnir You actually dont need max critical Eye. As mentioned in the video, Bloodlust will set you at 100% even if you drop down to Crit Eye Lv 6. Crit Eye Lv 7 is a luxury, but not required at all. But a different Talisman works aswell ofc 👍🏽
@@YokaiNox thanks!
How did you get those augments on the kushala helm :'( ive been struggling to build that damm elemental set 500+ rolls in
All you need is the Slot upgrade! I say in the Video that you dont need to Augment any Skills onto the R.Kushala Helmet 😄 The extra Level of Wind Mantle I got on there is a cool bonus, but literally the least important thing in the Builds.
@@YokaiNox Sorry Im too stubborn I wanted it and I thought all augments removed skills except the defense one :'). Ive been rocking it without the wind mantle +1 and you right, it aint that important, really good build sir.
@@carlosha98No worries, when that Augment dropped on the R.Kush Helmet, I double & tripple checked to make sure i'm actually seeing correctly xD Cause I thought something definitely got removed. But turns out that Wind Mantle & Powder Mantle are actually classified as only "mid" Tier Augments. And therefore can drop with a varity of extras without loosing anything from the Armor Piece. Kinda wild imo 😄
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate! ^_^
does elemental have similar dps to blast ? feels kinda weird cause every other elemental weapon that i play straight up deals 2x 3x more than its raw counterpart. At least i wont have to augment several different weapons 😂
Yup, that's why i mentioned the Motion Values for Element on S&S being suprisingly low in Sunbreak. That's the reason why Element doesnt pull ahead in this case. It's pretty much equal to Blast, unless you're fighting something with particularly high Element Hitzones & bad Raw Hitzones.
Uhm. He said raw does less for him...
What happened to poison build? I’ve heard in other videos it was very strong. Has it been nerfed or something?
Poison is still good, that's why i mention it on the 2nd Build and show the Lucent Narga Sns as alternative weapon option. The thing that changed, is that a dedicated Build for Poison is no longer as good as it was prior to Endgame. And the Weapon options for it have fallen behind aswell. So now we simply get more overall Damage by taking a different approach.
@@YokaiNox got it thank you!
Greatsword next
There are a few other Videos coming first, because not very much changed for Greatsword after TU5.
Any alternative for attack 4 jewl can’t unlock that till I do anomly 240 stuff and I’m no where near close for that
For now you'll have to downgrade to a regular Attack Jewel then. There's nothing else that can replace that particular Jewel. With how much ATK Boost would you end up in this case ?
hmm i cant seem to find a 4 slot for Embolden for the hulk junior. am i missing something?
figured it out, head piece has a 4 slot augment :'''')
@@ChiefVizier 😄Luckily the extra Level of Wind Mantle i have on the helmet is not necesarry at all, as mentioned in the Video^^ So it's actually super easy. Just get a basic Slot upgrade and you're done 👍🏽
Any chances upgrade CB builds tu6?
Yup, It will proabbly be to 2 or 3 Builds if i make another CB video for TU6.
I won’t cap man I don’t understand how the hell your getting all these good as rolls for augmentations I can get MOH on tempest without losing either critical boost or heaven sent
Alot of play time 😂Nah to be honest, RNG gives us all a hard time with something. For me it's getting Frenzied Bloodlust as Augment, or Talismans with Strife..It just refuses to drop for me in any kind of usable form 😅
its just gambling. I try after every run ahha
is primodial malzeno armor skill bloodrite and blood awakening not compatible with sns?
Due to the motion values on Sns and the way Element isnt applied on shield attacks at all, Blood Awakening just isnt realy worth it on Sns. Going with more conventional Skills has a better result for overall DPS.
Why does it matter about element on. Shield... You can combo without shield. Shield does good damage.
What's the fastest way to level up anomaly quests, I'm only at 121 and barely get half a bar by killing diablos max level

COOL LAYERED ARMOR! WHAT YOU ARE WEARING? LMK!!!
Thanks ^_^ Wich one of the Layered Sets do you mean though?😄
The one i used for the Thumbnail, or a different one from the Video footage ?
@@YokaiNox the one that you used in the video. not the thumbnail
@@duckybro3298 Wich one ? 😂I'm using 3 different ones in the Video lol
Give me the time in the Video.
1:45 on the first build, you are using layered armor right? looks hella cool
@@duckybro3298 That Layered Set is made with:
- Head: Kunai Earings (can be any similar Head Piece though)
- Chest: Buff Body
- Arms: Buff Body
- Waist: Azure Age Obi
- Shui Greaves (Any similar slightly baggy pants works aswell. The one from the final free DLC Layered Armor goes with it very nicely!)
There's a thing that bugs me. You said you used a single master toucn 4 jewel tonreach max skill. If I use it it's still at 2. What am I missing?
I'm a bit confused 😄Pretty sure you might have missed something there :D Cause i dont mention using a single Master's Touch 4 Deco anywhere in the Video to get full Master's Touch. Asuming you're talking about the first Build - I said you can get full Master's Touch insted of Embolden. Both Skills require [1x Lv 4] & [1x Lv 2] Deco to reach their max Level . So you can perfectly switch them out if you like.
@@YokaiNox i'm talking about the second build. I forgot to mention it.
@@ElRoboCigar For Build 2 there's a [Mastery+ 4] & a [Mastery 2] Deco listed on te Deco List. Wich is 3 Levels in total, giving you maximum Master's Touch.
I mentioned in the Video that you dont have remove anything on Build 2 to get it, unlike the first Build, wich needs to remove Embolden to get access to full Master's Touch.
@@YokaiNox oh, ok. Then I had a brainfart to not notice it lol
r/monsterhuntermeta has a pretty good guide on SNS if anyone wants to know more about the weapon like dmg calcs, dmg loops and so on.
Also the dirty graf out-performs any other raw weapon due to most monsters being far weaker to poison than blast so blast is mostly left for stuff like R. Valstrax or any monster weaker to blast rather than poison.
THAT is the one! Fcs! Thank you 😂I kept trying to remember wich other poison SNS i meant to put in the 2nd Weapon Option, but the buisness week fried my brain lol The actual difference in overall DPS between the Graf, ScoMa, Lucent & Tigrex SNS across an AR 250+ Hunt is minimal now. Even with the Graf's outsanding poison.
Depending on the target you're hunting the ScoMa SNS is also prefered by quite a few Hunters now. Since Blast can contribute to breaking the affliction threshold, aswell as having the additional stopping force for staggers (wich Poison both cant contribute to).
I personally enjoy using both though 👌🏽
@@YokaiNox Your Build 1 was dealing so much more damage over Build 2, my eyes opened so wide!
Is it because of the Tigrex SnS and/or the bonus attack skills like coalescence and bloodlust?
@@SSRAFF7 Yup, it's a combination of mutiple DMG factors that leads to that particular Builds high Raw output. But mainly it's due to the Tigrex Sns high initial Raw Attack.
@@YokaiNox Would you say its consistent? I miss Perfect Rush doing actual damage like in MHW...
@@SSRAFF7 Due to it not relying on Buildup Boost triggering a 10% increase (to Sword Attacks only) like other Builds using Blast or Poison, I'd say Yes. It is very consistent.👍🏽
Perfect Rush is still very high in damage, when incooperated in your combos correctly.
Elemental hbg soon??????
There are a few things ahead of HBG right now that will go up first. But i might put into a voting poll soon, to see if the request for HBG Builds has increased. If so, it will happen sooner.
Dude how on earth do you get that god talisman? I've spent all of my f-ing resources and I don't seem to be getting any close to get that roll you got over there x3 lv2 gems slots, critical eye lv3 and on top of all that lv2 slugger... What the fuck Man... I'm trying to get better, not lose all my hair...
And you dare to call any of this builds "budget" :| come on man
And you dare to call any of these builds "budget builds" :| come on man...
As I pointed out in the Video, all you need is a Critical Eye Lv 3 Talisman with either 2x or 3x Lv 2 Slots. Wich is not hard to get at all with Cyclus Melding, if you have that unlocked! (And again 2x Lv 2 Slots are enough alreaady) Ans the Slugger ony my Talisman is nothing but a convinient bonus in this case. It's completely unnecesarry. It honestly wich it were something else, because it's literally wasted on most other weapons lol.
I'm suprised that you're having such a tough time with a Crity Eye 3 [2-2-2] or [2-2-0] Talisman. This hasnt been an issue for anybody else so far. Kinda strange 🤔Are you sure you're using the correct melding method ?
