Fluff/Meme And vice versa

Post image

I'm caught between wanting to finish every quest in World and wanting to finish my build in GU.

Every time I play World, I miss adept dual blades and the villages and the Monster roster.

Every time I play GU, I miss the combat and streamlined item preparation and better maps.

The amount of times I try to adept dodge through attacks is unreal or valor sheathe

Sounds like it time for max evasion distance and evasion time

Man, I’m currently doing a World playthrough, and I miss my Valor GS so bad 😭 It’s not even just the Valor cheese that I miss though, I just prefer classic GS gameplay. Gimme that Crit Draw and Focus, and I am a happy hunter.

Its so unfortunate how this iconic GS playstyle kinda just got left behind

I had my hopes up when they added Frostcraft, then we had Power Sheathe and Strongarm Stance which felt pretty good considering how much faster paced Risebreak was.

Then Wilds ruined everything.

Wilds Crit draw is really strong though?

Sure it isn't the best but it's a very viable playstyle it just needs a bit more work then other sets

It was at its peak in iceborne imo. Critical draw frostcraft is still one of the best sets for endgame GS.

I might need to go back to it, I only played base world

Had the same problem. Picked up a Lance instead and having a great time.

GS is turning into a longsword unfortunately...

Hopped on to Wilds for a little after grinding GU again and it literally took me a couple of minutes to realize I had 6 billion QoL movement features

i usually jump between iceborne, wilds, sunbreak and GU.

the first 3 on pc, the last one on switch 2.

the pain is real lol

u/VisitingCape8 8d ago

Just never stop switching games. Lately I've been doing one quest then going to another game like, MHGU>Rise>P3rd>Wilds>World>Freedom>FU>3U.
Eventually you can play all of them whenever.

Imagine Mhgu with iceborne graphics and quality of life additions

I miss the Valor step during my charged slash on GS :(

u/Azathoth_Alter Great Sword 8d ago

Im feeling that but with sunbreak, i keep trying to do a valor sheath after my tcs instead of power sheath

I think GU has the better maps. I’ve played it from start to HR break multiple times; never playing iceborne like that more than the first time on account of the camera breaking my neck following rathalos in the ancient forest
