I like how u guys show different way of set up but it drive me crazy when u guys say the wrong thing like ( this is the most powerfull set up) , Is so miss leading. 1) this set up wont work on elder dragons bc u cant use trap. 2) radobaan weakness is blast damage making this build the ideal set up against him but try this on kikirin where he has a strong def againts blast damage, your result wont be the same.
Just imagine the *blast* you’d have with four people using this set at once. :D Could you maybe make a video about that later? Would be really nice . ^^
Every time it blasts you'll need more attacks to get the next blast. So if the monster has less HP, the blast will be stronger. In multiple game monster has x3 HP so the blast works less effective.
エクスプロージョン！Great video :D Love how the western community is finding so many ways make this game fun to play! Good job Capcom for making this title a truly global game!
originally i planned this strategy with a para caused by my palico, but the monster was capready earlier than expected! definitely looking forward to some 4p action with blast dual blades!
she's all about 16 mega barrel bombs plus barrel bombs all at once plus gunlance and hb plus switch axe plus blast elements put together and then quadruple cart
Why do guys have to ruin an already implied joke...? You just can't let someone be great for their originality without you trying to +1 up them on some slick shit...
You sir are awesome. Even thought this is OP. I love how MHworld has so many different builds to make and play the game differently. Thanks for the vid.
Erm..is there some sort of blast cap? For example I'm comparing between Safi Bow VS Brachy Bow. I want to make a blast-focused part-breaker build for Safi siege.
I'm curious. For fights who are weak to both Blast and ice attacks, would the fire and ice dual blades be worth using also? I've seen a guy completely shred a diablos to pieces with those weapons and I doubt he had full blast % on. Edit..I just went to check if I could make the items in the video. Turns out my blast set is the exact same as this one minus the mantle as I didn't bother getting it. Might have to do that
What if you use the sword and shield that has 330 hidden blast dmg? (I am not sure how to speak this weapon name in English. I am playing Chinese version) I don't know how blast in World works, but in former series Sword and Shield has almost the same speed to apply status as Duel Blades. Both weapons have a x0.7 status applying multiplier. Duel Blades need 4 attacks to apply status once (not considering 40% chance to succeed. It is 1/3 chance in former series btw).
Most mobs aren't weak to blast, only pushovers and kushala (good luck trapping kushala) so while it's very effective for a short time, online it would be considerably weaker due to more hp, more time for the threshold to increase. It also scales poorly with other blast users. It's fun and optimized but i don't see it being OP. I might be wrong, but from what i've seen this is nothing better than CB or bow.
Well I use fire and Ice DB and have critical eye lvl 5 , critical draw lvl 1 and weakness exploit lvl 3 = 80% crits against weakpoints with critical element from 2 pieces rathlos so when I crit Ido more elemental dmg. Critical draw gives crits 30% More dmg. I also have 2 partbreaker jewels that give me 20% more dmg against parts, tails horns etc. And I haven't augment my gear yet. The most mob's have 2 star weakness against blast so its actually pretty strong and when they strong against blast then they are weak against Ice. Its really fun to chop off some tails and horns in 2 or 3 combos :P
Love your guys videos! I appreciate the dedication you've all put into the game. Could we see some Insect Glaive builds for MHW? I've only seen a couple around TH-cam and yours would be the only one I trust tbh. Thanks for the videos!
You can proc Blast far more easily using the bow called Archer's Dance III. It has over 300 Blast once you have Free Element level 3 and Blast Attack level 3. Since each arrow applies Blast, a spread shot consisting of 6 arrows while wearing the Apothecary's Mantle will result in 6 x 330 Blast, instantly procing the status effect for 120 damage points. In my experience, one can proc Blast 6-8 times while the mantle is active. Once the mantle stops working, use the Affinity Booster in conjunction with Weakness Exploit level 3 as well as the Zorah set bonus. Using the above, I can easily proc Blast 10-12 times on monsters that are not resistant to it.
So what even were the gems used in this build? The amount of gem slots available in this build doesn't add up to the skill levels. Did that meal increase some of those skills in the equipment info screen?
Does anyone know a guide set for insect glaive? I really love the weapon but it's damage and synergy seems pretty subpar compared to the rest of the weapons. I tried making an evasion set that used the airborne skill so I'd have the best flying set but I learned there's actually a limit to the jumps you can bounce off (this being four before the fifth lands you) also the air dashes don't seem to be affected. But yeah, no armor skill I can think of amps the actually kinsects damage and xeno set bonus is the only kind of synergistic set but It's rather boring.
I don't see a raise on the status effect damage, the damage number is 120, which is the base explosion damage from what I can tell. So is it just the frequency in which the status happens?
What do you mean Apothecary Mantle increases the status output to 100%? As in it triggers status build-up every hit, or breaks the cap and increases status build-up an additional 60%?
Are you getting Blast +1 from decorations? With the same gear I'm only getting Blast 2. I ended up using Zorah Spine (B), Kaiser Greaves (A) and Attack Charm to get Blast 3, but the loss of 15 affinity hurts.
Tsuyoshi Naoe That's a hidden element, meaning the weapon won't deal it by default, but it can be unlocked by the armor skill "Free Elem/Ammo Up". Level one only draws out 33% of the element's damage, but level 3 will get it to the full number shown in the weapon's stats.
He probaby went with DB's as Status affliction has 1/3 probability to occur per hit and/or input (need clarification here). So to get more Damage out of blast element he went with the fastest weapon you can get.
+Kealmir If you have two elements on dual blades then each blade has only one of these. Meaning you effectively deal half the amount of Blast and half the amount of Ice of what's shown under status.
From my understanding, bombardier does not affect blast damage. I remember it does in past MH games, but I've seen people test it and it doesn't seem to make an impact on Blast damage. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I revisited this set. New kulve taroth dual blades with blue sharpness and blast element. Drachen is an upgrade over odo coil. Made the same set but with 1 extra handi and 3 power prolonger. With affinity augments I could prob get partbreaker in there.
Just craft 2 more shock traps while on a quest. Just bring 2 thunderbugs & trap tools. You can only have 1 at a time. That's a max of 3 shock traps per quest.
If you got the digital deluxe version (or the pre-order, I think), you receive an Armor Appearance Layer called the Samurai Set. In your house, under Armor Appearance, you can select Layers and put it on. It will maintain the same appearance no matter what actual armor you wear; it's purely cosmetic.
heh all the kaboom. is that the DB with the highest blast? does having that matter too much? any better options on the weapon front? also, nice to see you've almost hit 100HR, nice!
not need to Nerf. just have some fun. r u ready for deviljho? I'm noob here. deviljho seems like anjanath. is it tougher than anjanath from previous MH? what is its ability?
That seems balanced. I hope they don't decide to nerf everything Interesting, but looking at their history, I doubt they will. I like the changes to the bowgun with the patches since release. The ammo's feel a bit more useful across the board. To be more specific. You have to do a lot of setup for this to be possible and once you do it requires the enemy you are facing to be weak to blast and not immune to traps or to cooperate with you if they are immune to traps. It may mean that speed runs get dominated by this set, but I think that is kind of the point of Arenas and weapon based speed runs. It could perhaps stand to be slightly weaker, but this is a single player game and I hope they keep many interesting 'almost op' things in the game.
Does Bombardier actually affect blast attacks in this game? Because the description is different compared to previous games, stating that "Increase the damage of explosive items" nothing is said about overall blast damage.
sooo Crit Eye +5, is 20 percent affinity, bringin magdaros blades to +0 Affinity, but with affinity booster, it brings Magdaros blades to 50 percent, and then with Weakness Exploit, that is 100 percent affinity. Blast Build up affected by Blast attack +2/3 and with specialist, then the Zorah magdaros Abnormal status crit skill. Just Clear things up for people wondering. Affinity Booster is a MUST.

Nerf Apothecary mantle tbh
Join us on Discord:
discord.gg/teamdarkside
Team Darkside ....why do you break everything
Last time you said nerf something, they did. 😑
I like how u guys show different way of set up but it drive me crazy when u guys say the wrong thing like
( this is the most powerfull set up) ,
Is so miss leading.
1) this set up wont work on elder dragons bc u cant use trap.
2) radobaan weakness is blast damage making this build the ideal set up against him but try this on kikirin where he has a strong def againts blast damage, your result wont be the same.
Given the fact that the mantle only lasts for 60 seconds, I think it is just right to give 100% bonus on status ailments. :)
Stop saying Nerf things, that happened one when you said it
Bazelgeuse would be proud
"I taught you well, my son."
B-52, get it right!
Questionable? Bagel*
Brachy would BE PROUD!
He could now show Bagelgeese Da Wai
Just imagine the *blast* you’d have with four people using this set at once. :D
Could you maybe make a video about that later? Would be really nice . ^^
Just watch that view count *explode*
yes. soon
Then your ps4 explodes irl
Dead in 15 seconds
Every time it blasts you'll need more attacks to get the next blast. So if the monster has less HP, the blast will be stronger. In multiple game monster has x3 HP so the blast works less effective.
There's enough explosions here to warrant a decent Michael Bay movie.
But nope, WS Anderson.
Zinogre time to Michael down your vincents
Zinogre double b52 bombers has more explosions though... xD
エクスプロージョン！Great video :D
Love how the western community is finding so many ways make this game fun to play!
Good job Capcom for making this title a truly global game!
Im just a Caucasive as f**k Merican, but that sir might be the most passive racism i've ever seen!!! well said!!!
Agreed. It was a legit thumbs up. Usually is the JP players finding crazy stuff in games, not westerners.
originally i planned this strategy with a para caused by my palico, but the monster was capready earlier than expected!
definitely looking forward to some 4p action with blast dual blades!
Megumin Approved 👍
She was all about big explosions with max power, she refused to learn/use smaller explosions should be able to use more then once.
EXPLOSION~
T C Megumin main GL indeed
she's all about 16 mega barrel bombs plus barrel bombs all at once plus gunlance and hb plus switch axe plus blast elements put together and then quadruple cart
SHEER HEART ATTACK HAS NO WEAKNESS!!
miss my kelbi bow :D
:'(
iTzz Bryy the best "blast" weapon, ahhh the good old days of MH3U
yea it was fun to play even after the nerf
iTzz Bryy right, the speed runs were insane
Yula kut ku with awakening 270 blast......not the best ever but ill settle.
This is great to see but how many people are gonna end up actually doing this for full hunts
Unseenninja 83 in multiple monster hunts its gonna be even better since they have less hp and every new monster has a reseted blast treshhold.
I will
Megumin would aprove of this! meguFace
Explosion!!
that reminds me of that megumin explosion compilation i was watching recently xD
Only lasts a minute but a minute is all I need!
TheDoomlord7 that's what I used to tell my ex wife
Five minutes is all that I need. It wont even take me that long to beat you and leave with my palicos on a terodactyl
"...in bed"
Why do guys have to ruin an already implied joke...? You just can't let someone be great for their originality without you trying to +1 up them on some slick shit...
You sir are awesome.
Even thought this is OP. I love how MHworld has so many different builds to make and play the game differently.
Thanks for the vid.
Erm..is there some sort of blast cap? For example I'm comparing between Safi Bow VS Brachy Bow. I want to make a blast-focused part-breaker build for Safi siege.
*kushala daora slightly wets the bed*
kushala gets destroyed by blast lol you don't need to trap when kusha gets downed ever 5 seconds
Title: "infinite explosions"
Video: "only for one minute"
Hmmmmmm
I'm curious. For fights who are weak to both Blast and ice attacks, would the fire and ice dual blades be worth using also? I've seen a guy completely shred a diablos to pieces with those weapons and I doubt he had full blast % on.
Edit..I just went to check if I could make the items in the video. Turns out my blast set is the exact same as this one minus the mantle as I didn't bother getting it. Might have to do that
What if you use the sword and shield that has 330 hidden blast dmg? (I am not sure how to speak this weapon name in English. I am playing Chinese version) I don't know how blast in World works, but in former series Sword and Shield has almost the same speed to apply status as Duel Blades. Both weapons have a x0.7 status applying multiplier. Duel Blades need 4 attacks to apply status once (not considering 40% chance to succeed. It is 1/3 chance in former series btw).
Most mobs aren't weak to blast, only pushovers and kushala (good luck trapping kushala) so while it's very effective for a short time, online it would be considerably weaker due to more hp, more time for the threshold to increase. It also scales poorly with other blast users.
It's fun and optimized but i don't see it being OP. I might be wrong, but from what i've seen this is nothing better than CB or bow.
Kavriel cannae trap elders mate
That's why he said "good luck trapping kushala", numbnuts
Most can read but not everyone can understand what they read. it is one of the internet's biggest problems.
Well I use fire and Ice DB and have critical eye lvl 5 , critical draw lvl 1 and weakness exploit lvl 3 = 80% crits against weakpoints with critical element from 2 pieces rathlos so when I crit Ido more elemental dmg. Critical draw gives crits 30% More dmg. I also have 2 partbreaker jewels that give me 20% more dmg against parts, tails horns etc. And I haven't augment my gear yet.

Its really fun to chop off some tails and horns in 2 or 3 combos :P
flash pods stop working after the first few :(
so you are Escanor at high noon. Literally unstoppable for a single minute? Worth.
That one minute reminds me of Escanor from seven deadly sins in his untouchable form at noon.
Love your guys videos! I appreciate the dedication you've all put into the game. Could we see some Insect Glaive builds for MHW? I've only seen a couple around TH-cam and yours would be the only one I trust tbh.
Thanks for the videos!
Great video Michi :)
A question... Which quest must be done to unlock the Master's Charm from the blacksmith ?
Ty.
You can proc Blast far more easily using the bow called Archer's Dance III. It has over 300 Blast once you have Free Element level 3 and Blast Attack level 3. Since each arrow applies Blast, a spread shot consisting of 6 arrows while wearing the Apothecary's Mantle will result in 6 x 330 Blast, instantly procing the status effect for 120 damage points. In my experience, one can proc Blast 6-8 times while the mantle is active. Once the mantle stops working, use the Affinity Booster in conjunction with Weakness Exploit level 3 as well as the Zorah set bonus. Using the above, I can easily proc Blast 10-12 times on monsters that are not resistant to it.
Or just use a regular element bow and do 60+ per arrow
So what even were the gems used in this build? The amount of gem slots available in this build doesn't add up to the skill levels. Did that meal increase some of those skills in the equipment info screen?
I made almost the same Set when I played through the game, but didn't think of the mantle and meal. Thanks for bringing it to my mind
What parts are needed exactly a or b and did u mix any sets together?
It's like 3U all over again
Does anyone know a guide set for insect glaive? I really love the weapon but it's damage and synergy seems pretty subpar compared to the rest of the weapons. I tried making an evasion set that used the airborne skill so I'd have the best flying set but I learned there's actually a limit to the jumps you can bounce off (this being four before the fifth lands you) also the air dashes don't seem to be affected. But yeah, no armor skill I can think of amps the actually kinsects damage and xeno set bonus is the only kind of synergistic set but It's rather boring.
Can we get what decos are you using ?, how will the set look without them
Can this work for gunners? If yes, i would just cycle between each status type when hunting outside of the arena.
I don't see a raise on the status effect damage, the damage number is 120, which is the base explosion damage from what I can tell. So is it just the frequency in which the status happens?
Yes. The only thing that increases is the threshold that you need to surpass to applie the status.
if change weapon to fire and ice, would it better since it give higher affinity and blast?
What do you mean Apothecary Mantle increases the status output to 100%? As in it triggers status build-up every hit, or breaks the cap and increases status build-up an additional 60%?
I believe it's status every hit, I'm not 100% sure though.
Can damage be stacked/increased with Demon Drug & or Might Pill on top of the other bonuses?
Yup! It would have no effect on the blasts themselves but your attacks would be doing more.
edit: oh this was a year ago.
so if i use a kinsect that has blast powder and i hit the powder it will always trigger blast?
Are you getting Blast +1 from decorations?
With the same gear I'm only getting Blast 2.
I ended up using Zorah Spine (B), Kaiser Greaves (A) and Attack Charm to get Blast 3, but the loss of 15 affinity hurts.
Does bombardier actually work with this and does the two piece rath armor set bonus work with blast too?
does this still work? how long is the average time for solo'ing tempered nergi on this?? i'm looking for a good solo db build
How doo you get the affinity booster? Don't think I've ever seen someone use it. Is it an armorer quest?
Clear all the kitchen quests (if I remember correctly)
2 people running that set up and 2 running a para equivalent
I think 1 para is enough if u have 3 blast users
might be i dont tend to hunt in groups so i dont know how well stuff translates over
No, you'd hit the blast build up threshold that much faster. Blast works best if you're the only one using it.
1 status LBG gunner. Sleep para trap poison lock monsters
Lo
How are you at 50 percent affinity starting off? I have expert gems and I can only get at 30 if I Aug affinity twice
So does the armor look okay without the samurai skin? I dont have it and I will craft that awesone armor for sure :D
Con you help me with one thing, i'm using one of the lastes bone branch dual Blades that have blast but it's like dislabled, in grey, what happend?
Tsuyoshi Naoe That's a hidden element, meaning the weapon won't deal it by default, but it can be unlocked by the armor skill "Free Elem/Ammo Up". Level one only draws out 33% of the element's damage, but level 3 will get it to the full number shown in the weapon's stats.
This looked like it came straight out of an anime, also can replace the dB with another weap or does that make the DPS too low?
He probaby went with DB's as Status affliction has 1/3 probability to occur per hit and/or input (need clarification here). So to get more Damage out of blast element he went with the fastest weapon you can get.
Is bomber afflicting your blast damage aswell or is it item only ?
Wait, does the Zorah amrour thing work for the Master rank armour version
Wouldn't gemming in item extender extend this buff to a minute 30? Though I'm not sure if you'd have enough room.
Just curious, but why Zorah over Fire and Ice Dual Blades? it's less damage but it has higher sharpness, affinity, blast and has Ice damage.
+Kealmir If you have two elements on dual blades then each blade has only one of these. Meaning you effectively deal half the amount of Blast and half the amount of Ice of what's shown under status.
Thanks for clarifying that, I thought that may have been the case while I was asking.
From my understanding, bombardier does not affect blast damage. I remember it does in past MH games, but I've seen people test it and it doesn't seem to make an impact on Blast damage. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Can you make a guid to get this mantle ? And, what was the jewels on your armor ?
My boi Brachy, are you seeing this?!
Come back to MHWorld so we can test who the true king of Blastblight is..!
*Teostra uses supernova*
*It was very effective*
I revisited this set.
New kulve taroth dual blades with blue sharpness and blast element.
Drachen is an upgrade over odo coil.
Made the same set but with 1 extra handi and 3 power prolonger.
With affinity augments I could prob get partbreaker in there.
can this be done with other weapons that hit alot like long, glaive and swax ?
Now this is the true explosive duals video, not that Kelbidrome fiasco.
I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. EXPLOSIONS!?!?!?
Anak Malaya Wooooooosh
Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? Or is it a joke going way over someone's head!?
I GET THIS REFERENCE!!!
TORGUE GUNS MAKE THINGS EXPLODE! END OF SALES PITCH!
Gouranga THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE!!
Being a fan of Mr. Torgue, I love this.
Why Not go for Charge blade and artillery instead?
Lunastra + xeno jiva charge blade, augmented for more crit and 3/3 artillery
How did you use more then 2 traps?? I just started playing and I can only seem to take 1 shock trap and 1 pitfall trap.
Just craft 2 more shock traps while on a quest. Just bring 2 thunderbugs & trap tools. You can only have 1 at a time. That's a max of 3 shock traps per quest.
Powerful West City theme!
why not explosion and ice ?
what gems du you use on that set?
I´m Mr Torgue and I have one question and one question only: *EXPLOSIONS????*
me too
This won't work well with elder dragons though, will it? Given the whole "traps won't work" thing.
Can you make pls make New explo 100% or poision 100% my Infos was that was actually zorah for LS is best Meta but what must i have for these builds
I never thought to field craft traps like that. That was some fast item usage!
May I ask how do you maintain that look despite using different armor pieces?
If you got the digital deluxe version (or the pre-order, I think), you receive an Armor Appearance Layer called the Samurai Set. In your house, under Armor Appearance, you can select Layers and put it on. It will maintain the same appearance no matter what actual armor you wear; it's purely cosmetic.
There aren't any other Layer implements in the game other than Deluxe's Samurai Set, right?
not yet, but with the mechanic in place, i'd be surprised if we did not get more in the future.
I know i'm ignorant for this but what armor set was that?
Killer Queen has already touched those dual blades.
heh all the kaboom. is that the DB with the highest blast? does having that matter too much? any better options on the weapon front?
also, nice to see you've almost hit 100HR, nice!
not need to Nerf. just have some fun. r u ready for deviljho? I'm noob here. deviljho seems like anjanath. is it tougher than anjanath from previous MH? what is its ability?
very glad to see someone else doing this. Great job hunters!
when scrolling through the gear can you slow down a little bit
Bringing those monsters the wrath of Vietnam and PTSD, just like daddy Bazel.
That seems balanced. I hope they don't decide to nerf everything Interesting, but looking at their history, I doubt they will. I like the changes to the bowgun with the patches since release. The ammo's feel a bit more useful across the board.
To be more specific. You have to do a lot of setup for this to be possible and once you do it requires the enemy you are facing to be weak to blast and not immune to traps or to cooperate with you if they are immune to traps. It may mean that speed runs get dominated by this set, but I think that is kind of the point of Arenas and weapon based speed runs. It could perhaps stand to be slightly weaker, but this is a single player game and I hope they keep many interesting 'almost op' things in the game.
I did the event quest for great girros, great jagras, dodogama within 4 minutes is that good?
Using my setup
Question: where do you get vouchers? I thought my cat would give me, but no, he never did.
Does Bombardier actually affect blast attacks in this game? Because the description is different compared to previous games, stating that "Increase the damage of explosive items" nothing is said about overall blast damage.
Answered my own question by testing it out, it does not.
Code Phoenix thanks this was well needed
Can anyone please tell me the name of the song playing in the background?
What decorations did you put on?
Hey did you mean to throw down those two tranq bombs? If so how come if it's just arena?
He captured the monster, so yes he meant to do that.
Aninymouse wow I missed that. I thought he slayed it. I see!
Yup. There are actually quests that can be done in the arena without being traditional arena quests.
Why my zorah set doesn't look like yours, is this a high rank zorah or smth cause i love the armor looking
I have a female character too
knight mare Actually it is the deluxe upgrade.
knight mare No worries. I only remembered because I preordered the standard version and I did not get it. Lol
Where are the good old speedruns from the real Team Darkside
A blast status armor+weapon set that only works for one minute of the hunt?
I'm gonna name it "One Blast Hunter".
To make this slightly faster usage try adding in tool specialist lvl 3 for faster mantle an affinity booster recharge.
btw which slot stuff u use?
Is this build uploaded somewhere in more detail?
Can you do a "how to not break your controller for a fucking rathalos gem"? Thanks i'd appreciate that
Having a blast watching this video.
What a beautiful duwang blades
Weeb Johnson lmao duwang
Chew
How did you have 2 shock traps. I can only carry 1
Nerf Team Darkside.
can we get a video on the decorations for this build?
what if you use the ice blast dual blades?
sooo Crit Eye +5, is 20 percent affinity, bringin magdaros blades to +0 Affinity, but with affinity booster, it brings Magdaros blades to 50 percent, and then with Weakness Exploit, that is 100 percent affinity. Blast Build up affected by Blast attack +2/3 and with specialist, then the Zorah magdaros Abnormal status crit skill. Just Clear things up for people wondering. Affinity Booster is a MUST.
Today, someone used the bazel varga rookslayer while I was using fire and ice. That's when I finally saw how many explosions can happen at once
Nice run👍
Is it worth doing if they are gonna patch it?
Would this build work for sword and shield?
Why not use fire and ice?
Less blast
He didn't aim to do fastest clear or effective build. This set is only made to inflict blast status as much as possible. Turns out its quite good tho.
