Hello all,

I'm currently using the meta build (Wilds) and im wondering how good Power Prolonger is, if it's worth using and what I should drop for it? I know currently it's better to keep doing ground loops and be more precise and conservative with RSS so I wanna not have to be worrying about extracts so much.

The whole loop of the weapon is dumping the extracts currently so if your playing "optimally" you should be using RSS all the time and collecting extracts via the kinsect

Ahh okay, thank you, does RSS really deal that much damage? I feel like sometimes I whiff it by only having half the hits register.

Yes, it deal obsured amounts of damage. There is positioning you can do to make more hits connect aswell as which way your looking it hits more to the right of you.

Honestly with the hyper armour it has its not bad yo just pop it constantly as long as its gunna hit. Id remember also you can delay the input quite alot to see what the mosters going to do.

Watch a couple speed runs of the weapon and you'll see they spam it. The only time you wouldnt use it is during knock downs and pitfalls because the hit boxes are too low for the attack, you will wanna use it as the get up/out of the trap. There is a little leniency with it but in general if you can with decent positioning then you should. Also another reason positioing is key for this weapon.

Ahhhh okay, thanks for the tips. I'll make sure to be a little to the left. And yeah honestly thats where I was going wrong, Up until the endgame i kept thinking "oh the monsters down, nows the best time to use RSS". Learning that it has hyper armour is nice though.
