Came from Wilds with over 400 hours, never having failed a single quest, and suddenly I’m thrust into World low rank and I feel so much weaker in comparison, hunts are taking forever, Tobi-Kadachi carted me twice on the first hunt, and don’t even get me started on Anjanath. Still haven’t failed a quest but I’m getting slapped around lmao. Playing SnS btw

I obviously beat him but this took like 20 minutes. Is hammer a bad matchup? How does breaking his spikes work? Is there an order to go for when targeting spikes? I will genuinely take any advice cuz I really wanna like him. Gear is Baan strike II, Kulu headpiece alpha, diablos mail beta, diablos coil and greaves alpha, baan vambraces alpha, and tranq charm II. Palico is using paralysis weapon.

Right now Im running sns Lightbreak Sword (raging brachy) but I heard its better to use elderseal againts safi for quick drain.

Which would be better if I want to drain the area bar in least amount of run possible

I really enjoyed World, but I've been hitting a wall with the endgame in Iceborne. I'm at the Raging Brachy/Furious Rajang questline and I keep getting my ass kicked. I barely beat the normal Rajang and the Furious version just moves too fast. I do chip damage for around 25 minutes and then get carted a couple times in a row. I'm not doing enough damage to finish the fight within the time limit even if I don't faint.

For context, I beat Shara Ishvalda and stopped playing but have recently come back to the game. I've played through with Longsword, Switch Axe, and I'm trying out Sword and Shield at the moment.

This is part of a more general problem I've been having with the end game. I didn't have any trouble with the base game and most of Iceborne, but the late game monsters either never stop attacking, throw themselves across the arena with every attack, or both. Rajang, Tigrex, and Barioth are the worst offenders in my experience. It's difficult for me to get any hits in at all and I feel like there's something I'm missing with this part of the gameplay loop. I try to set up the appropriate combos for my weapon (building up spirit with Longsword, mounting repeatedly with SNS) but I never seem to do enough damage and I spend most of my time dodging or chasing after the monster. Even a good Iceborne hunt still takes me 30-40 minutes (probably because I'm focusing on defensive skills) and I either get carted or time out on the tougher ones.

The actual questions:

I think most of my trouble comes from the fact that I don't know how to respond to Rajang's attacks. When he becomes enraged, I spend all of my time dodging and maybe get a couple hundred points of chip damage. Whenever I try to mount or set up a helm splitter he just runs away from me. I can't keep up with him in order to do damage. Does anyone have tips for Rajang, or some of the faster late game monsters in general?

I feel like this is a skill issue more than a build one. I have 1000+ defense (though not great thunder defense for Rajang) and I have decent decos focusing on defense, vitality, and stun/roar protection. I've been using the Ice/Legiana longsword or th e Blast/Xeno'jiiva SNS. Should I switch to a higher DPS build? Are certain weapons better against these faster monsters (like Dual Blades)?

I play solo on PC. I prefer to play alone, and while I know that some of the later game event bosses basically require multiplayer, I would hope that I can get good enough to do these monsters on my own.

Hello guys, I am trying all the weapons in world and I think I want to main SNS. They said that this is good for beginner (i’m a beginner) this is what i’m using recently in hunts. I like the dps and the combos i’m using (I am just pressing the button and trying to hit the monster) on my fellow SNS mains, I just want to ask for guides and tips for this weapon and what combo is easy to execute on monsters. Also, I am liking the damage of it so far but i read some comments that this damage can increase later with better equipment. Thank youu

A couple of my friends and I are about to finish the base game and head into iceborne. We are using natty gear (not defender or guardian) and I know that there are some harder monsters and raids in the base game, but most posts I see recommend going straight into iceborne. We will probably go into iceborne, but if we will also want to experience the raids at some point. So,

1) what gear should we be wearing? I assume iceborne gear will be much more OP than it is balanced for, does that mean we still should farm base game stuff to "gear down" for it?

2) is it doable with 3 average players? I know people solo them as a feat of strength, but we are just average gamers.

3) I read you have to have tank/support/DPS, can any weapon do any role or is it specific?

i had alot of fun using charge blade for the main story line and killing that six eyed dragon thing with it but im thinking of trying to learn bow now any tips? i dont really know what to do with other weapons ive used charge blade most of my playtime

Hi everyone,

I was looking through the weapon tables for Rarity 11 and Rarity 12 weapons and noticed that there are two different tables listed for them.

Could someone explain why this is the case?

Are they divided by weapon category/type?

Is one table for base stats/drops and the other for augments/upgrades?

Or does it depend on specific end-game content/monsters?

I'd really appreciate it if someone could clarify how to read or differentiate between the two tables. Thanks in advance!

This video took... sometime, to create. It was a pain, but not too much. I hope you will enjoy it as much as possible. Stay huntin'.

I am in the middle of Iceborne, and I Play longsword. My current build is kulu head Gear, bone Mail, kulu Arms, Beotodus waist and kulu pants. And im now at Nargacuga and Glavenus. I felt a little bit weak against Barioth so i asked myself If I need better Armor. Iappreciate every help.

PS: I didn't know wich Flair, so i Put it in Build

I’ve been struggling with Daora and everywhere I’ve looked it says he’s weak to Thunder and Blast and i wanted to know if farming out Kirin for the Kirin bolts+ was worth it to make Daora easier or if i should stick to using the Decimation claws with the high elderseal

Hey,

So, what promped this question was someone in another reddit post (a few years ago admittedly) arguing that the Stygian Zinogre glaive was better than the Alatreon glaive because the Insectglaive's elemental damage isn't great (so the very high Dragon damage of the Alatreon glaive mattered less), and that the Strenght and Spirit boost was so much better than the Stamina Upgrade and Healing that it tipped the balance.

So, do the Kinsect boosts matter that much? And what are the best ones? Doing high elemental damage might be useful on some monsters (even though I know that the Insectglaive itself is more raw focused, the kinsect can do some pretty good elemental damage), so I wanna see if that matters in the choice of the glaive.

Thanks in advance for your advice and opinions.
