I need to comment on the hunting horn: you said the Offset Melody takes too long to set up. With the new echo bubbles, you can mash buttons during the animation to make songs without actually attacking. So you can set up the melody instantly with 1 echo bubble. You can also set it up during the wound focus attack. So even though it might be a longer melody than normal, the game gives you new options to set it up quick. Also, you can set up self improvement, damage up, etc. melodies while on Seikrit and that is a pretty good upgrade.
What do you think about the dmg potential compared to worlds? Do you think it can compete with the other weapons now? I love HH, but in the past I played it only in group scenarios (rise excluded) I saw some decent speedruns with it but I'm still not sure.
@willoric955 easily, this is the strongest HH has ever been. And technically, according to some data mines of the demo files it'll get even stronger in the full game
So, for HH's offset melody, you have several options to lower the creation time. 1) While placing an echo bubble you can play play multiple notes during the animation to stock them (I've gotten 3, but idk if that's max). 2) As Hollow said, during the focus attack you can (and want to) play up to 5 notes during the animation. 3) If you double swing for your red note, the second swing can add in a free note. Obviously these work for regular songs also, but Offset Melody in particular can take a fair bit more setup if you skip over these options.
An additional area to get a 'free' note is with a hilt stab. By holding back on LT mid-combo, you can queue any note with a very fast, low damage attack.
You missed the most awesome parts about bow. Tracer arrows, the arrow rain that puts multiple trackers in it so you can send homing missiles on them. exploding wounds with the same thing, its super busted.
Something that you didn’t mention is that now the Buff (Heal, Armor and Demon) Ammos for the Bowguns now requires you to shoot it on the ground. It’ll create a little buff fountain that will buff anyone that walks through it. The shooter included of course.
Additional small things I've found while labbing with the weapons that might be easy to miss: Gs: they really buffed the speed that the block comes out after the charge slashes and with perfect guards it's actually viable to use. You can also spam the kick fairly quickly if you get the timing down its still really bad but its an almost viable meme for getting KOs Ls, If you hold down the spirt blade button mid roll youll start spirt charge as soon as you finish Sns, just want to give a shout out to sliding swipe, covers decent distance and can turn a full 180 at the end so mixing it with the standard chops movement gives it more mobility than it has any right to have. DB, above your health bar you get a buff with a timer for how long demon dodge is active. Demon flurry uses demon gauge as a resource where you won't be able to do the whole combo without enough of it. Hammer, during the overhead slam combo you can shuffle around a bit between each hit of the combo for a bit of positioning, not that useful but kinda cool. You can do charge step immediately after a dodge. HH, you can get a second note during overhead slam like with the double swing. As mentioned by others that I might as well add, you can input 3 notes during echo bubble and 5 notes the focus strike Lance, during mid thrusts you can hold focus mode to strife left and right. Focus mode during dash attack for tighter turning. You can cancel the triple thrust into guard GL, there's a fast version of wyvern fire if you combo it after any fo the moves that usewyvern stake or following up wyvern fire with a second wyvern fire. If you try to shell when your out you'll do a quick reload instead of the usual shack the gunlance animation IG, charging kinsect harvest buffs your kinsect to collect 3 extracts instead of 2 that goes away when it returns to you. You can cancel the strong jumping advancing slash into the charged strong descending slash. clinging to walls after vaulting is still a thing CB, not really uncommon knowledge but you can hold the buttons during savage axe for more hits and the shield now has a little glow effect anytime a guard point is active Hbg, you can roll out of wyvern counter ignition without consuming any gauge. Bow gun tip in general you can hold the reload button to cycle through the ammo to reload and this can be done on the sekrets back and you can mode switch mid roll on both All, you can go up vine walls or other climb-able walls with your weapon out and this seems to be the replacement for the textured walls in world that you can run up and do certain attacks off of
They made longsword so addicting, god its so fun, hard for me to try out other weapons, but the other weapons are also super fun, honestly hard to make a decision on my secondary
I think the best part of IG is the fact that you can now CHARGE your bug and when you fire it through something, it can pull all 3 extracts from it at once.
Although it seems like a long combo to get the Offset Melody for Hunting Horn, there are actually a lot of tricks to get it quickly. Certain attacks allow you to collect two notes with one attack. Using the colors in the video, you can get two notes from doing a forward yellow attack and pressing another attack button before the final slam, and you can also get two notes from doing a forward red attack and pressing an attack button on the second swing of the horn. So you can do a forwards yellow + red attack, then a forwards yellow + white attack to get your offset. In addition, whenever you do a focus attack on a monster wound, you get the opportunity to store up to four notes by pressing the attack buttons in time with you strumming the horn.
Got about 6 hours in with lance, and it's still an effort getting used to not being able to counter-thrust after any poke, now being locked to the end of a combo. It just feels so weird that they would change THE bread-and-butter counter attack that lance has always had. R2 + circle goes right to power guard now, but power guard was always more situational to me than counter-thrust.
@@werth79 Yeah, at first I thought the shield bash would have a similar timing to the insta-block in Rise, so now whenever I just stand there and guard and the shield bash goes off, I'll often think "I didn't earn that." Lol
Same. Add to that, lance feels very sluggish now. A lot of attacks are slow, the high pokes, the pokes after power guard, the wide sweep and step thrust without guard dash(step because it doesn't move much). Its just not the same. But I'm having fun with gunlance having the similar counter thrust because of the reload having the guard point and same button as counter thrust.
@@zrevi5918 Oooh man I HATE that drawn out reel back and upward leap when you attack after the power guard! First time I fought Doshaguma I carted twice because of that move. You're right, some of the lance attacks feel very slow and weighty, without the damage to match.
I’m a Switch Axe main, I’m still trying to learn the new combo lines and not just keep using the old tried and true combos from World/Iceborn and Rise/Sunbreak
The new sidestep slash for the glaive is absolutely amazing. In focus mode, you are dancing around and the kinsect attacks from range makes me think of funnels from Gundam
This is an amazing video, thank you. Are you going to do any "how to" videos or each weapon? like, more deep dive into how to actually do the combos from a beginner perspective?
Light bowgun you can charge the focus attack for massive explosive damage. Also during rapid fire mode you can keep firing while evading, thus dealing damage at a constant rate.
DB combo when reaching full charge lets you start the flurry, then use the mode switch to reposition, to do the same button push you do to start the flurry, to reposition further and then switch back to demon mode and do the final part of the flurry. Amazing combo.
Whats really helping with the hunting horn offset atack is that you can do the inputs while casting echo bubble which makes the animation way quicker, leaving you with only needing a white melody. So many mention that you can play melody inputs during the focus atack but I rarely see them mention that the same counts for echo bubble.
the hunting horn offset melody may seem long and awkward at first but you can play all four notes in as little as two swings and you can also store notes during the three dance moves of the echo bubble animation
for Hunting horns offset, you can store notes during bubble too. so if you use bubble you can press yellow red yellow then you just need one more white to store offset.
bowgun can now be fired while mounted, effectively eliminate the mobility deficit of heavy bowngun. Playing like a turret tank out running monster. Fire rate is a bit lower than firing unmounted. But mobility gain is insane.
About the insect glaive, the charge attack can be used mid air (jump) to get a descending thrust like in world, and then follow up with the kinsect attack as the ground charged attack
Hunting horn tech you can get the offset ready in 3 inputs with the last bieng faster. When doing natural red notes you can input the other double note during the second swing. Follow it with a stab note after
I'm happy that you pointed out the SnS perfect guard feeling really impactful. So many people were overlooking that I think, but now that we've been able to get our hands on SnS, I find myself looking forward to making a guard up/offensive guard build. It feels so much better than Dark Souls rolling around the monsters constantly. I told myself that I would try different weapons this game. That I wouldn't just keep going back to SnS, but it's just sooooooo satisfying. That said, I'm also enjoying Lance this game. LANCE! OF ALL THINGS! The overall Lance player count may finally break triple digits in Wild! 😂 Seriously though, it's fun.
U can also store 3 notes while doing an Echo Bubble, so just throw out the first move of the Offset and then so the rest while putting down an echo bubble, not long at all that way
Surprised I found no one in the comments pointing it out already, but you were able to store the greatswords charge with the tackle since world. So not really new. The aiming with focus strikes is new, but getting the true charge slash has been like that since worlds. You could get it even faster by using the slingshot
The problem with the mentioned IG gameplay style is that it is the ONLY worthwhile way of playing which makes it pretty much a different weapon, and the need for all 3 extracts for the enhanced moveset is just a no-no, paired with weaker and less worthy air based gameplay, i just feel that Capcom have really ruined what i enjoyed about my loving bugstick... I dont mind the mentioned gameplay style, i've tried and fairly succeeded with it, however it feels like more of a longsword in previous games way of playing, in that it is focused on 1 way to play and 1 way to play alone. IG used to have 2 more mainstream play methods if you get to the roots of it, ground and air, but also other ridiculous builds like kinsect only and status/elemental spammage. that being said, im also conflicted on seeing what i think few people have said about, if you look at the weapon page on the status or equipment screen the Kinsect has a level bar... much like Generation 4 Kinsects, which you built up with Necter... i liked the building, but hated the farming... and i wonder if thats returned.
So much drama around not being able to chain IG helicopter 3x. So what, just vault back into the air. If anything I would prefer increased aerial damage because its not great as of right now even when kinsect follows. I believe there will be more playstyles than less. But that also depends on available skills. Anyway kinsect following your moves when attacking in focus mode is another really cool addition no one is talking about.
@@Thanatos6669 Arguably i prefer rise over any other game, World was great first time playing, but i went back to it just prior to the "Return to world" event, and it just felt so hollow (combat wise) in comparison to Rise/Sunbreak
@@Thanatos6669who cares, we weren’t trying to min max damage over here, it was fun, besides just have it do more damage then or make it viable in other ways instead stripping it down to the bare minimum
I personally like the light bow gun over the other two ranged options because of its simple yet affective play. Using the chaser in rapid mode lets you put out more damage and break open more wounds than the other two. I just think it's way more versatile and effective and personally enjoyable so i wouldn’t mund a buff or two if others think its bad lol
Lots of solid takes but I disagree with the take on spirit release, It's a long animation which doesn't do that much damage in comparison to other weapons, it needs the hyper armour considering it costs 2 charges. Compared to wyvern fire combo which does insane damage and can perfect block at any stage during it. Greatsword can hyper armour at any stage during its charge combo which does significantly more damage then spirit release. This might all seem excessive now but I can see it being essential in G rank.
Offset Attacks, Guarding/Perfect Guard, Charged attacks, and Resource spending are mechanics shared across weapons. With those 4 there's also Counter and Perfect Dodge, one of these 6 isn't going to be a thing on an Apex.
I was just looking for a video to learn a “wake up attack” for each of them also THEY REMOVED THE BOUNCE ON IG HOW COULD THEY THEY NEUTERED THE AIR COMBAT
Us IG mains love our pogo sticks, it feels like a betrayal to have it taken from us, its like taking counter from GS (i think) or any charge attacks from GS
Playing SnS and HBG has been even more satisfying than usual these days. Even without any super impactful changes, like Focus Mode for GS, it's such an enjoyable time. Likewise for GL if I don't want any dedicated play, just moderate button mash = win, and if I do dedicate myself, huge damage potential.
Charge blade didn't change a lot but it feels good, except for my pc only pulling 20 fps but that is what it is still very fun weapon but I don't like savage axe coming after blocking, also I hope release is better optimised because just a bit of optimisation would be enough to make it playable for me
Some other SnS mains are upset that it didn’t get as many new flashy toys as the other weapons, but being able to change your position and angle mid combo is literally something I’ve only dreamed about. And having more control over backsteps making them easier to do on reaction is crazy.
Alright let's do this again...men why do so many get this wrong. First of all if we are talking which is lances most power full attack?....it's the new charged counter thrust without a shadow of a doubt. It slighty out damages GS true charge slash. (it does around 126 total to rey's head, 140 with buffs) "you can charge it up to maximaze it's poke value or use it as a counter" Wrong you actually maximize the damage by using it as a counter. The charge attack itself has pretty sad DPS but when using it as a counter it does a double hit that (like i said already) can even out damage TCS. Now while that sounds OP...it is really difficult to get the max damage out of this attack and pretty much no other lance attack comes even close to it's damage output. Technically Lance could out-perform alot of wweapons now but this move is really difficult to use consistantly to it's max effectivness.
16:30 "This new cool swirly move where you collect all 3 essence" Unless your on either side of the monster then you miss each color and end up with 3 red or orange.. 😂😂
Love hunting horn, i missed that feelings of old gen hunting horn move and World moveset so that's A+ for me. 20:48 Bow, I don't like this refill ammo bar mechanic. it just reeks simplification, dumbed down tbh. what's wrong with coatings that they have to remove it? well they didn't remove it, you need to do something to refill that.. ammo bar somehow. Still, I don't get it, out of bowgun ammo/ coating? just run around a bit, grab those resources and let that auto-combining feature do it for ya.
Weapons in Wilds all feel better, but seem kind of daunting. Especially coming from older games. Hammer and Lance used to be dead simple and now they have so many options.
My issue with Focus mode is that it functions so much like a Target Lock On now that my positionings from the previous games are getting affected. It would be great if I have the option of having Focus mode off but I believe it would be such a core mechanic in Wilds that its going to be something we cannot do without. Is this what every new generation feels like for old hunters?
everything feels pretty great and i'm happy the game is moving towards faster, smoother combat. being able to cancel out of most combo/moveset animations just feels so much better. It's going to be a long few months before the game release...
Playing this beta not only made me salivate because I love this game so much and I can’t wait for February but it also made me love the bow S tear for sure
Hh offset isn't as long. Overhead can play a second bit and back and a button is a little fast stab of that note. So overhead plays yellow and red small stab for another yellow and follow that with white. Voilà ready.
Was a hammer main in world and rise. Does anyone else find the new hammer feeling gross? Could just be me. Already decided I am going to main the horn this game.
Yea; the range being shorter, the normal full charge having less impact, and mighty charge needing you to standstill longer. If you liked using charge hammer loop your gameplay is worse
Charge Blade and Insect Glaive need some rework. Other weapon are good with their base kits but these 2 need monster interaction (wound/ weakspot) to be good. Good luck getting IG essences manually. Hunting Horn offset melody needs new audio, "Ding Ding Ding mtfk!".
I have a question, does Focus Mode damage scale off Monster HP or something? Coz when I do Focus Strikes against Rey using IG, the damage numbers get kinda bonkers... like multiple ticks, each of ~500, for a total of 1500 to 2000 damage... That is not something I'm used to seeing as an IG main...
But like... for bow the tracer arrow... you can shoot whereever and dont even have to aim and can make arrows explode on the monster even at higher distance that usually would be out of range.. and the evade is what you think is great? heh.... Oki. I mean thats nice too yes but to each their own!
*Before this video* I'm gonna pick one weapon and stick with it *after this video* So... many... choices... Seriously I am surprised at how many weapons now seem viable for my play style with their new moves. I'm so glad I'm going to be able to carry two weapons because I'm going to be switching back and forth
just spitballing a silly idea: 4 anime characters in Monster Hunter. Goblin Slayer with SnS (because he's always carrying a shortsword and targe), Levi with DB (you know why), Shield Hero with Lance (1 of the 2 best shields in MH), and Guts with GS (the only man i know with a large sword). i always pictured other characters in Monster Hunter - such as Mario and Luigi (Hammer, because of the Super Star saga); and Kratos and Atreus (SnS & DB, and Bow & LS) - hunting monsters, and having a grand old time. i find it fun thinking of the "what if characters form other media interact with this world?". to make another example, i've asked myself "if other characters were in the world of Pokémon, which ones - a full team of 6 - would they have? which one would fit them? which one references something about them?".
Nerf Longsword this nerf Longsword that. Honestly let's just ask the devs to remove the Longsword completely out of the game since Longsword has too much this and too much that.
you know what i hated about GU`s airiel duel blades was spaming that stpid leap attack that triggers the aireal attack oh wait thats what dbs on wilds are lol
Charge blade and insect glaive are worst than world imo, removing insect glaives dragoon like feel and making charge blade slower and have more steps is just annoying
@ same seems they nerfed bow sadly but I guess it was deserved, they also fixed insect glaive (except the bad controls because the dev thinks it promotes learning and not carpal tunnel) As for CB maybe they increased the damage but the speed is my biggest issue

I need to comment on the hunting horn: you said the Offset Melody takes too long to set up. With the new echo bubbles, you can mash buttons during the animation to make songs without actually attacking. So you can set up the melody instantly with 1 echo bubble. You can also set it up during the wound focus attack. So even though it might be a longer melody than normal, the game gives you new options to set it up quick.
Also, you can set up self improvement, damage up, etc. melodies while on Seikrit and that is a pretty good upgrade.
Superpound's new note shortcut makes it pretty easy to store Offset too. You can go Superpound>Crush>Hilt Stab or just 2 Superpounds
What do you think about the dmg potential compared to worlds? Do you think it can compete with the other weapons now? I love HH, but in the past I played it only in group scenarios (rise excluded) I saw some decent speedruns with it but I'm still not sure.
@willoric955 easily, this is the strongest HH has ever been. And technically, according to some data mines of the demo files it'll get even stronger in the full game
For the bow the best part would be that coatings no longer require ammo, you use the bar to fill coatings now.
And it’s basically on all the time the arrow rain along with the tracer, followed by thousand dragons equals damage and cheese 😂
So, for HH's offset melody, you have several options to lower the creation time.
1) While placing an echo bubble you can play play multiple notes during the animation to stock them (I've gotten 3, but idk if that's max).
2) As Hollow said, during the focus attack you can (and want to) play up to 5 notes during the animation.
3) If you double swing for your red note, the second swing can add in a free note.
Obviously these work for regular songs also, but Offset Melody in particular can take a fair bit more setup if you skip over these options.
An additional area to get a 'free' note is with a hilt stab. By holding back on LT mid-combo, you can queue any note with a very fast, low damage attack.

that being said, im also conflicted on seeing what i think few people have said about, if you look at the weapon page on the status or equipment screen the Kinsect has a level bar... much like Generation 4 Kinsects, which you built up with Necter... i liked the building, but hated the farming... and i wonder if thats returned.
air was garbage in every game but rise, but rise is garbage
That's a fair criticism
So much drama around not being able to chain IG helicopter 3x. So what, just vault back into the air. If anything I would prefer increased aerial damage because its not great as of right now even when kinsect follows.
I believe there will be more playstyles than less. But that also depends on available skills.
Anyway kinsect following your moves when attacking in focus mode is another really cool addition no one is talking about.
@@Thanatos6669 Arguably i prefer rise over any other game, World was great first time playing, but i went back to it just prior to the "Return to world" event, and it just felt so hollow (combat wise) in comparison to Rise/Sunbreak
@@Thanatos6669who cares, we weren’t trying to min max damage over here, it was fun, besides just have it do more damage then or make it viable in other ways instead stripping it down to the bare minimum
I personally like the light bow gun over the other two ranged options because of its simple yet affective play. Using the chaser in rapid mode lets you put out more damage and break open more wounds than the other two. I just think it's way more versatile and effective and personally enjoyable so i wouldn’t mund a buff or two if others think its bad lol
I loved the bows changes
ad hunting horn, you can also store multiple (three max?) notes during the bubble cast, not only the wound attack.
Lots of solid takes but I disagree with the take on spirit release, It's a long animation which doesn't do that much damage in comparison to other weapons, it needs the hyper armour considering it costs 2 charges. Compared to wyvern fire combo which does insane damage and can perfect block at any stage during it. Greatsword can hyper armour at any stage during its charge combo which does significantly more damage then spirit release. This might all seem excessive now but I can see it being essential in G rank.
Offset Attacks, Guarding/Perfect Guard, Charged attacks, and Resource spending are mechanics shared across weapons. With those 4 there's also Counter and Perfect Dodge, one of these 6 isn't going to be a thing on an Apex.
SnS in the right hands is unstoppable. You can quote me on that, Swaxe/SnS is looking like my kit 🤩
they nerf "Ledge Hopping (Hammer) attack" plus without Grappling hook/Wirebug hammer feels weaker at least compared to other weapons.
I was just looking for a video to learn a “wake up attack” for each of them also THEY REMOVED THE BOUNCE ON IG HOW COULD THEY THEY NEUTERED THE AIR COMBAT
Us IG mains love our pogo sticks, it feels like a betrayal to have it taken from us, its like taking counter from GS (i think) or any charge attacks from GS
The offset melody is easy to make because you can play 3 free notes while making a bubble
Playing SnS and HBG has been even more satisfying than usual these days. Even without any super impactful changes, like Focus Mode for GS, it's such an enjoyable time. Likewise for GL if I don't want any dedicated play, just moderate button mash = win, and if I do dedicate myself, huge damage potential.
Charge blade didn't change a lot but it feels good, except for my pc only pulling 20 fps but that is what it is still very fun weapon but I don't like savage axe coming after blocking, also I hope release is better optimised because just a bit of optimisation would be enough to make it playable for me
Bow’s new best move imo has gotta be that dodge parry. Barely even notice the stamina cost anymore, I can be free of the dash juice
Some other SnS mains are upset that it didn’t get as many new flashy toys as the other weapons, but being able to change your position and angle mid combo is literally something I’ve only dreamed about. And having more control over backsteps making them easier to do on reaction is crazy.
As a longsword main I approve of the new longsword.
I rarely touched Dual Blades before, but I must admit they felt really nice and responsive in Beta, much more than in IB.
Alright let's do this again...men why do so many get this wrong.
First of all if we are talking which is lances most power full attack?....it's the new charged counter thrust without a shadow of a doubt. It slighty out damages GS true charge slash. (it does around 126 total to rey's head, 140 with buffs)
"you can charge it up to maximaze it's poke value or use it as a counter" Wrong you actually maximize the damage by using it as a counter. The charge attack itself has pretty sad DPS but when using it as a counter it does a double hit that (like i said already) can even out damage TCS.
Now while that sounds OP...it is really difficult to get the max damage out of this attack and pretty much no other lance attack comes even close to it's damage output. Technically Lance could out-perform alot of wweapons now but this move is really difficult to use consistantly to it's max effectivness.
16:30 "This new cool swirly move where you collect all 3 essence" Unless your on either side of the monster then you miss each color and end up with 3 red or orange.. 😂😂
Love hunting horn, i missed that feelings of old gen hunting horn move and World moveset so that's A+ for me.
20:48 Bow, I don't like this refill ammo bar mechanic. it just reeks simplification, dumbed down tbh. what's wrong with coatings that they have to remove it? well they didn't remove it, you need to do something to refill that.. ammo bar somehow. Still, I don't get it, out of bowgun ammo/ coating? just run around a bit, grab those resources and let that auto-combining feature do it for ya.
Two questions:
1) Can we finally joust while on seikret?
2) Can we fire bow while mounted, like the bowguns?
I disagree a bit with the HH. I think the best new feature is being able to throw out extra horn slaps during the performance.
Same as a hh main
I love the offset attacks. They are amazing
Echo bubble also lets you store notes during the animation so
Weapons in Wilds all feel better, but seem kind of daunting. Especially coming from older games. Hammer and Lance used to be dead simple and now they have so many options.
My issue with Focus mode is that it functions so much like a Target Lock On now that my positionings from the previous games are getting affected. It would be great if I have the option of having Focus mode off but I believe it would be such a core mechanic in Wilds that its going to be something we cannot do without. Is this what every new generation feels like for old hunters?
everything feels pretty great and i'm happy the game is moving towards faster, smoother combat. being able to cancel out of most combo/moveset animations just feels so much better. It's going to be a long few months before the game release...
Dang longsword be lookin real nice rn
Playing this beta not only made me salivate because I love this game so much and I can’t wait for February but it also made me love the bow S tear for sure
Hh offset isn't as long. Overhead can play a second bit and back and a button is a little fast stab of that note. So overhead plays yellow and red small stab for another yellow and follow that with white. Voilà ready.
Press select after defeating a monster to skip the camera lock menu
Greatsword and SnS have aerial Focus Strikes
Chatacabra was violated those lance and gl sneak attacks
Don't forget wall attacks are here again.
I found Kinsect Glaive really hard work till i found the super move then it just all came together
What was the inputs for the gunlace combo you were talking about? Ps5 here
For me my favorites are Gunlance, Swaxe and Hammer
For lbg does that mean even sleep ammo will have rapid fire?
Was a hammer main in world and rise. Does anyone else find the new hammer feeling gross? Could just be me. Already decided I am going to main the horn this game.
Yea; the range being shorter, the normal full charge having less impact, and mighty charge needing you to standstill longer.
If you liked using charge hammer loop your gameplay is worse
So did anyone else notice with HBG and GL the amount of damage wyvern fire does on a wake up hit?
No. Do all the hits double now?
@ryanbadorrek9735 No, only the first hit. However, when you pause and add up all the numbers. It's right up there with GS and hammer.
Charge Blade and Insect Glaive need some rework. Other weapon are good with their base kits but these 2 need monster interaction (wound/ weakspot) to be good. Good luck getting IG essences manually.
Hunting Horn offset melody needs new audio, "Ding Ding Ding mtfk!".
R.I.P My IG, They butchered my boy.
gunlace supremacy
I can't believe they turned Insect Glaive into "Hammer but needs a bunch of resource management".
I have a question, does Focus Mode damage scale off Monster HP or something?
Coz when I do Focus Strikes against Rey using IG, the damage numbers get kinda bonkers... like multiple ticks, each of ~500, for a total of 1500 to 2000 damage... That is not something I'm used to seeing as an IG main...
I was taken aback a it when I realized the only way to counter with the swaxe is just in axe mode, with the ofset atttack
There is a literal dedicated counter in sword mode
@@j0obn255and the sword counter is easiest to combo with too lol
But like... for bow the tracer arrow... you can shoot whereever and dont even have to aim and can make arrows explode on the monster even at higher distance that usually would be out of range.. and the evade is what you think is great? heh.... Oki. I mean thats nice too yes but to each their own!
*Before this video*
I'm gonna pick one weapon and stick with it
*after this video*
So... many... choices...
Seriously I am surprised at how many weapons now seem viable for my play style with their new moves. I'm so glad I'm going to be able to carry two weapons because I'm going to be switching back and forth
Does bow no longer have you crafting coatings ? Cause maybe its the beta but i swear its now a gauge you build up and have to manage
You apply coatings as normal but they use a bar of your bow meter for 8 shots
i really wish they bring back tetraseal for IG
just spitballing a silly idea: 4 anime characters in Monster Hunter.
Goblin Slayer with SnS (because he's always carrying a shortsword and targe), Levi with DB (you know why), Shield Hero with Lance (1 of the 2 best shields in MH), and Guts with GS (the only man i know with a large sword).
i always pictured other characters in Monster Hunter - such as Mario and Luigi (Hammer, because of the Super Star saga); and Kratos and Atreus (SnS & DB, and Bow & LS) - hunting monsters, and having a grand old time.
i find it fun thinking of the "what if characters form other media interact with this world?". to make another example, i've asked myself "if other characters were in the world of Pokémon, which ones - a full team of 6 - would they have? which one would fit them? which one references something about them?".
4:30 what happened to chatacabras tongue lol
Nerf Longsword this nerf Longsword that. Honestly let's just ask the devs to remove the Longsword completely out of the game since Longsword has too much this and too much that.
Remove longsword, greatsword can absorb all the weapon models just like in the first gen games 😂
Great Sword and Hammer
Title so long my phone can’t fit it on the screen lmao
Hunting horn is actually a horn!!!!
you know what i hated about GU`s airiel duel blades was spaming that stpid leap attack that triggers the aireal attack oh wait thats what dbs on wilds are lol
should add timestamps so ppl can skip to a specific weapon without having to search the entire video. great video though 👍
Charge blade and insect glaive are worst than world imo, removing insect glaives dragoon like feel and making charge blade slower and have more steps is just annoying
I started playing MH with worlds first and been enjoying the gunlance weapon i may main it again
@ same seems they nerfed bow sadly but I guess it was deserved, they also fixed insect glaive (except the bad controls because the dev thinks it promotes learning and not carpal tunnel)
As for CB maybe they increased the damage but the speed is my biggest issue
You played one monster hunter you played them all so i probably get on sale
Did he just say not much changed for the bow? The single most changed weapon in wilds?
Still I want Hollow in the Gameplay videos
Let me just redirect everyone to the weapons guide in the menu.
???
So no longer have STRONGARM STANCE from mhr sunbreak
timestamps where?
