Great vid. And it's true the anchor is amazing. I just wish I were good at using it. Everytime I try, I end up spinning and flying out of control, more often than not INTO a monster attack I was trying to avoid. :
I still have to stop my brain from using the slide in the ground whenever I hook up to it, I end up just sliding up back and forth and miss the jump forested entirely haha thank you for the kind words :)
Great content! I'm using the anchor in every hunt, and I also recomend it in my vids, altough the few benefits in the wagasa its incredible to fill the gauge and recover stamina as u said in your video. Good luck with youtube man!
I appreciate it, I’m no expert in any weapon sadly so a lot of what I say is what I’ve noticed but without 100’s of hours on a weapon I’m absolutely gonna get a lot of things wrong haha
@@Lil_Angst No problem dude! we're learning together, the staff animation cancel I've just learned from you. The wagasa has the same kind of combo, you just need to jump with the anchor jump before the last hit, so the umbrella will be spinning repeatedly. Deals loads of damage and is a good substitute when you don't have stamina for the dmg combo.
I used anchor on nodachi to get the two hit dash while charging but right after the two hits I release the charge so he goes into the charged air double slash. Great damage and you can instantly dash around again until with the two hit combo straight into the planted big attack.
Not gonna lie. When I first saw a guy use the anchor to charge the Karakuri staff faster and bring out a lvl 3 sword in 15 or so seconds. I abused the crap out of it. And I don't feel bad for the Kemono. Especially for Spine and Venomgliders I have lots of resentment toward the glider Kemonos
Haha unfortunately it’s not a secret anymore, we’ll see what they do with the patch tomorrow but I highly doubt they’ll patch it out, every weapon has the same kind of tech it’s just how the anchor attacks got “fixed” to be able to immediately cancel into the attacks. They only thing I could see them addressing is the fact if you immediately cancel every attack you have an infinite anchor meaning it’s just a 3 thread investment and the fact those attacks don’t generate thread doesn’t matter. So if they make it so you’re not able to just infinitely spam it and have to keep placing anchors you’ll eventually run out of thread and have to mix it up
@@Lil_Angst true that, there’s is another tech though with the fire if they do go that route. It’ll make the thread cost way more efficient and also the stake attack allows for you to be able to get two stacks immediately like every karakuri attack but since you’re in tonfas I believe it allows you to get two more quick levels
Interesting I’ll definitely be playing around and covering the patch notes so I’ll see what I can find, unfortunately staff was not something I tried out so it may be a bit longer than the staff content creators out there
Before the video I was thinking the CA sucks for the katana and I was kind of pissed I had to use it in my build since celestial shield is amazing ... so what am I missing? Turns out, nothing. It is okay for some fights like the last boss, but the downside of using CA is that the attacks don't generate any thread. So even if the damage/gauge is comparable (which it is not), without thread generation you can't keep up harpoons, traps and shields.
Unfortunately katana is my absolutely least played weapon so a lot of what I saw was from speed runners and guides, and overall it’s just another tool, wether it’s absolutely fantastic or game breaking is up to you and ultimately you can just not use it, it’s really annoying that none of the anchor attacks seem to have thread generation, I understand not having a normal attacks worth, but even just a fraction of that would make them so much better on weapons that don’t benefit virtually at all from the thread attacks
Basically you can cancel out of everything the anchor attack does, so if you celestial anchor>dash>attack>mutation attack>dash once the shuriken hits>repeat you can go from no stacks to full juggernaut blade in half the time of other charge methods
I tried the game again with various weapons and still didn't like it enough to finish the hunts to get to the town. Didn't like long sword, parasol, great sword, and bow is out. Didn't bother with hammer since I hate it in mh and this is the same
These things and the fire sticks have gotten me killed sooooo many times...I'll actually die trying to remove them from the battlefield. Nothing like unleashing a sick combo ending in a dodge but instead of dodging out of the way of an incoming attack I'm thrown into the air because I dodged into something that makes me do an extra unwanted action because I came too close to it... i always get hit at the end of the frames. It's jump boards forever as they may send me to an unwanted location but at least I'm not dying because of it.
I wish you could disable using other peoples anchors. I get hosed out of my combos so often or die in MP cuz people spamming so many anchors you just get stuck on the Damm things
I found in solo they are fine and personally that’s a lot of what I play, in multiplayer it’s hit or miss and relies purely on if the people you play with litter with their anchor or actually take the time to completely use it up or destroy it before they leave. I used to absolutely hate anchor but I started to play with it and figured out how to use it if I accidentally tether to it
From what I can tell the mentality of using anchor is similar to selecting a different switch skill in rise/sunbreak. Its not just an extra gimmick that occasionally comes out, its weaved into your playstyle and is essentially an altered version of your weapon. The extra distance travelled should be accounted for beforehand. I have never played multiplayer in WH but I would imagine it would be quite annoying to accidentally change your moveset basically mid combat.
That’s a very apt description and much like switch skills not every uses them, which is why I can see the distaste for them, losing your ability to control the slide or being forced into a leap you don’t want is frustrating, sure you *can* get used to them but people don’t want to get used to them which is absolutely fine, and after seeing people in multiplayer litter like it’s going out of style I see why it’s even more frustrating
You can disconnect from an anchor by using the jump and then dodging in the air. Not ideal, but still better than being tied to it when you don't want to.
Unfortunately no, but they are talking big game on their update coming out within the next week or so. It’s possible that will fix it but who knows feels like a lot to be “fixed” in one patch

anchor with nodachi, CLEAN and SIMPLE and makes my brain happy. I say this as a reformed claw blade main xD
I found it to be very satisfying, while it does less damage than box and torch cancels it’s just easier on my thread count

Haha I feel the same way about grit dog, no remorse, they all must burn
The moment i learned this trick i went on a mass murder killing spread against LavaBack trying to extint them all together from the game
I found out the Karakuri staff tech 2 weeks ago and was like they’re gonna patch this. Gotta keep this secret for now😭

I don't understand the staff attacks with the anchor like what am I supposed to be doing

@@Lil_Angst yea I just did it it's fun just gotta get used to it, like pressing my attack faster so I don't go flying

Anchor sucks for cannon just use springs but C shield is pretty good for up time.
hate them with a passions , they do nothing but mess up the fight and positioning

Anchor truly was amazing. Then KT nerfed it into the ground and sucked all the fun from it. Now, playing bow is a slog.
How to kill every katana user in your team lol
But, does it also improve the fps?
Unfortunately no, but they are talking big game on their update coming out within the next week or so. It’s possible that will fix it but who knows feels like a lot to be “fixed” in one patch
Patched and ruined the game
