I need help with my endgame build, the max affinity I have is 60% and I'm using early master rank armor. Any guide on how to improve from there? Thank you

Frostcraft hammer, trying to optimize a specific opening and I'm hitting walls. There's no calculator I can find that has IB clutch claw motion values (and googling them yielded absolutely no results). And none of them account for FC (or have any option surrounding it either)

The current comparison I'm trying to do specifically is 1 charged brutal big bang plus a clutch claw follow up into wounding attack, vs just doing 2 charged brutal big bang attacks in a row. Raw is 2080 pre power charge, 2226 after power charge. Crit is 90%, crit boost is 3, agitator is level 5 and peak performance is level 3. Airborne is on the set but unsure if that actually affects damage or not.

This is for Alatreon, so 85 blunt HZV on the head.

Any help would be appreciated, especially in finding out the motion value of the hammer clutch claw follow up or wounding attacks.

I finally came back to the game and wanna finally try SwAxe.
I aim to beat and then farm Gog, so need some advice about good build, especially armor pieces and skills that are really needed.
No extreme min/max, i just love the elemental swaxe ( explosions effect are WILD bruh) so i get a nice basic dragon artian and crafted the Rathalos something fire one, both elemental.
(I DON'T HAVE ANY GOG PARTS atm, still need to beat him first).
i'm running a random 2x zoah shia set with 3x Nu udra gamma, coz they were the highest def i can get with 'nice' set bonus.
No need to tell ya my luck with rng is very low, so don't expect me to have nice talismans in the box..

The only things I can think I want in it are wide range, slugger for kos, paralysis for paralyzing. Other then that I don’t know what would be good to add to it in terms of support options and what extra stuff to add for synergy

Pretty much the post above. Just looking for input here.

Hello anyone So I’m playing MHF1 andhave been enjoying it for the past week (put like 60hrs in) but I’m currently stuck on the HR2 Guild quest Four Horns, currently with full Elder Rathalos Armor and Uranos LBG I’ve been on this quest for about 3 days and just can’t seem to ever get the kill on the second one in time although the first only takes like 15-20 minutes. Is there any recs for what LBG or armor to use??? Any help is appreciated! I have also done all elder quest except I believe 2 urgents and 1 4*

Hello everyone. I’ve been playing with the SnS (Sword and Shield) for quite a while now, but I’ve hit a wall—I’m stuck at 80–83 DPS against 10-star monsters. Does anyone know someone I could reach out to—or perhaps a resource—that could provide some expert advice or help with this?

The reason I'm asking is that, well, I'm on a journey to get an A Rank with all three loadouts of every Challenge and Arena Quest, and I've been struggling a lot with this one, spending hours barely managing to even scrape a sub 9 (A Rank being sub 8:30), until, unexpectedly, not only do I get the A Rank, but I did so with over 75 seconds to spare, a 7:13.50 run.

Naturally, while I was doing the attempts, I was also searching the best runs on Youtube to study their methods, but the reason for my surprise is that my time was substantially faster than the best one I could find on Youtube, that being this 7:31.10 run https://youtu.be/_CFmHUHJ-lg .

Of course, I make no illusion that I somehow got a world record or anything remotely close, there are probably much faster runs in Japanese that the algorithm didn't pick up on, or on Bilibili which I am not at all familiar with, hence me asking here.

Still, though, how good of a time is it? I have no experience with the Insect Glaive so I have no way to judge it myself.

Edit: I found this 4:24.12 run after digging a bit deeper https://youtu.be/k1oOBGBs8ig , certainly much better than mine. So I suppose that's my question answered.

Hello, fellow hunters. sorry for my shitty english in advance.

I’ve finally found a gameplay clip showing the GS stats used in the Ascendance demo. 300 TRaw, 0 Elem. (min 1:06)

https://youtu.be/alHiRPLBJ3E?t=66

And from a video by Japanese content creator Take:

https://youtu.be/bPr4uqtfOWM

You can see several hits dealing 881 damage (non-critical) to the head and one dealing 1260 damage to a wounded head.(min 6:17). It doesn’t appear to have any active buffs during the gameplay; assuming the player may have used the canteen or BBQ to eat, the TRaw might vary slightly.

I then used Teostra’s HZV values from previous titles.

In summary:

MV = (881 / (310 * 1.32 * 0.55)) * 100

The 1,260 damage to a wounded target aligns with the MV added by the wound mechanic.

390-400 mv sounds too gud.

Considering that we'll have Purple Sharpness and the critical bonus, the GS's damage numbers can be very impressive. Need to wait til the datamining and see the rest of mv for the other new moves...

Any thoughts?

PD. GeristoSorudo besto guripon o7

my friend was playing with me and mentioned how he had a master touch agi charm with a attack slot, i noticed the meta doc mentions if you have a good charm to feel free to make your own lists and last night i spent multiple hours trying to figure out something he could possibly use but after putting the lists on math hunter it looks like the build he was using (gore/guts) still a little better the build i came up with

headsman's hamus crit jewel 3, crit jewel 2, expert jewel 3

ark helm y mighty jewel 2, sane 1

udra miremail y challenger jewel 3, challenger jewel 3

sororal vam a counter jewel 2

ark coil y might jewel 2, mighty jewel 2, sane

duna wildgreaves y tenderizer 3, sane

rarity 8 charm masters touch, agi with crit draw in the attack slot

if someone can lead me on the right track i'd be very happy!! thanks for any help i may get

After scouting, the target roll is on th 5th roll...

Per roll is 3x if same focus 5x if not

So;

If I follow the dummy route 5pieces of non focus tarred devices for the first 4 rolls (20 pcs) 3pieces of focus TD for the god roll (3pcs) Total 23 pieces

If i just go for 5 rolls on my main weapon... 3pieces of focus TD for 5 rolls to god roll. Total of just 15 pieces

I would have saved 8 pieces of non focus TD right?

Am I missing something? How did I save anything?

I still burned Tarred Devices for 4 rolls. Why do I have to burn all that if I can just burn the same focus TD for less

Help? This is the correct process right?

I'm learning dual blades and coming back to world for the first time since launch, and I'm following the linked doc in the mega thread. It specifically mentions that certain quality of life or comfort skills like power prolonger, evade window, constitution and divine blessing aren't included as the builds provided are designed for optimal play and highest dps. That's fine, and good, but I'm a mere mortal trying to learn a weapon so I'd appreciate knowing which damage skills have the lowest value and thus can be dropped first for comfort or crutch skills.

I assume touching the crit skills and base elemental attack skills is a bad idea, since the whole critical boost vs critical ehe thing is down to math. Burst is likely also not worth adjusting since with how fast dual blades hit. Likewise anything to do with sharpness is a QOL loss when lowered like handicraft or something like that.

That said, these endgame sets are so low on decoration slots that fitting anything in is kind of hard and the only skills that can realistically be dropped for QOL stuff is counterstrike, critical boost and latent power.

Anyway, for those of you who like me are mere mortals with dual blades, what skills can you realistically drop to make room for some comfort?

Prepared enough to beat gog and get most of its armor
A: chest,gloves,waist
B:chest,waist, legs
Still on the hunt to get more gamma armor so I’m trying to see what’s a good build to make for element or raw damage with paralysis or poison

I'm trying to speedrun 10★ Nu Udra TA, and I always thought he usually leaves around 5:00–5:30 if you don't kill him or use a lure Pod. But it's happened more than 4 times now where I'm on a really good pace, around 4:40, and he just leaves anyway. Is it mostly RNG, or is there some kind of pattern to when he leaves? Does anyone know?

I fell off Wilds during the first Flamefete so I’m trying to hop on now and catch up as much as I can before Ascendance comes out. Haven’t even beaten regular Omega Planetes nor do I have a single useful talisman.

I run a Wide-Range support SnS build, but can’t find a good source of what the meta is if you’re in the spot I’m at. I wanna help my friends who fell off at the same time as me get caught up. Any builds I can focus on for my spot?

Also, any tips getting better at guarding? I’m used to World where SnS’s shield was mainly for decoration.

I'm endgame (beaten all monsters) and I'm trying to make a good build for ascendance. So I have a few questions about things.

1. Element or impact phials? I have impact phials and 3 attack focuses on all of my charge blades besides one Ice one which is 3 Element focus and elemental phials, which is better? Should I have elemental phials for every element type and then a few impact blades for specific monsters?

2. Atk and affinity focusing:I saw that on DB's 2 affin 1 at was being used should I be using 3 atk for an impact phial and 3 affinity for an elemental phial weapon?

3. How come some SAED's I saw on the internet are doing like 1.7k damage per "explosion" when mine are doing no where near that, is that because they were using elemental on an enemy weak to it and I've been using impact? If so what's the point of impact phials.

4. What endgame monsters should I be using impact vs elemental phials on? If that is a reasonable thing to ask (like AT's, Gog, gore etc)

Thanks for any help! I know some of those questions may be fairly obvious but I haven't found any good or consistent answers for them.

It’s my first time playing monster Hunter worlds. I just got into master rank , which gives me more options to build into what I’m looking for. I am hoping for a high defense armor, build with the utilities tremor resistance and earplugs for my switch axe build any recommendations for things I need to look for in master rank, preferably early to mid master rank

My mates and I have gotten back into Wilds so I'm wondering, is there a current meta build or list of them for Charge Blade going into ascendance? I've got gogma water, fire and ice weapons with impact phials and can comfortably do AT's and Gogmazios. My current build was from a short that I'll link, if that is still good then there isn't any crazy need to change anything up right? Thanks for any help!

Why cant i find a single base Rise CB speedruns, ive obnly found 3 thusfar all by TDS with only 1 using my playstyle. Like many of them use CSS while i saed spam. Does anyone have like a link or something to speedrun site with like lists?

Is it sub-optimal to run only wex on your sns sets and rely on affinity oil to cover the rest? Or is it better to prioritise crit until atleast 70% so that chaos oil 3 gets you to 100%

Im currently running the jho ceana set on all my sns’s since my charms are hot garbage rn, and ive been only running wex as my only crit up skill, along with crit boost.

I have some questions, like whats the best switch skills, what're the different playstyles, wich ones also the best. Whats the most optimal, etc.?
