It's almost impossible to use with Redirection. Even with redirection, the buff doesn't fully compensate the time wasted swapping, using the Silknbind(GS itself doesn't do a ton of damage and is pretty slow) and the cooldown on GS is pretty long, so it's bad for spamming BB. IMO it's only worth it if you're not literally spamming BB
Only if you want. If you want to block some moves, you'll need Guard Up. Like that cross sweep at 3:50. Some moves are impossible to block, so keep that in mind. Guard and Embolden are not necessary but they're good and stack with each other. If you have Guard lv5 + Embolden lv3, you can cheese the fight and block almost everything with no problem. You can also activate Redirection while blocking, so guard skills are pretty nice to have, but they're not necessary.
Not for anything special, but there are a few minor reasons. The main reason is that I'm simply testing around with followers. One of the followers could also be Galleus. I used to hunt a lot with Hinoa but her palamute uses the Steel Fang that distracts the monster, similar to Stinkmink. It makes harder to land Redirection. Rondine and Fyoraine may also use flash bombs with pretty good timing but it didn't happen in this run. I also liked hunting with Luchika but she faints a lot. Arlow and Jae also seems good followers but I'll test more with them.
beautiful perfomance omg, loved every second of it
Thanks!
Why don't bullet barrage builds use ground splitter? It's 20% buff to all shelling damage.

Shields up Ironbreakers

Is it necessary to put the improved guard skill?
