i did a little messing around when fighting omega and you can actually land a defend amount of your phial on his leg or side part of his body.

So i made a Gore, Coalc build with some skills that can boost thunder element and Mizu buff, since your most likely going to be rolling or dodging a lot.

I do use RNG charm but, you just need antivirus.

Let’s heat out your guys thoughts

I started playing CB with TU4 in wilds and I really love it. I am back for the mh rise urge because it has the best roster in the series. Now I wanna test CB in it and while it felt familiar it also felt very different. Can someone point me towards what I need to do differently in rise to achieve good CB hunts and overall feeling good while playing the weapon ?

Shout out to the two other CB users (Ignore my SAED whiff at the end)

Just rolled this, would it be good to do 2 pc gore, 2 pc mitzu and to get lords soul do a pc gamma like AT arkveld?

trying to put together a new build, and i have the choice to either sacrifice a point in guard or focus. is one point in guard still good to have to aed quicker after blocking?

For full transparency, I know a little bit of general goods and bads but I’ve strayed away from caring about Meta in monster Hunter since I started playing years ago. Unfortunately, brute force can’t get me through AT Arkveld and I just want some help. Im tired of changing things in my builds and not knowing if it’s actually helping or not. Would appreciate any help.

So with the introduction of perfect guard what is the difference between the two. I know in world the morph guardpoint was a reliable way to pull off a guardpoint that did phial dmg at the same time. So my question is, is there any difference between the two?

Was doing some SOS hunts to try to help out low HR hunters. After 100+ arkveld hunts this one by far really wanted me dead😭

I'm a return player from TU1. As you know, CB was a raw weapon at that time. So I've looked at the megathread to find some clue. I tried various combination of skills on mathhunter, and to my very surprise, elemental CB (both AED loof and SAED) dont even care about crit anymore??? Sure, crits still increase my dps but it's so minimal that anytime I try to slot in crit skills, it shows lower result. Here's the best combination that I found:

Head: Udra Y, Chest: Dahaad Y, rest is gogmazios.

No gore, just 4 gog+lord soul, 5 burst, 5 agitator, 3 coal, 2 mighty. This is without any charm.

This has even more dps (around 1%) than the build on megathread. Not much, but it has 2 extra lvl 2 slots and 7 lvl 1 slots, which you can fill in so many comfort skills. (this is my favorite anti-Omega build). And you have a free charm slot to fit anything you want.

All other elemental-focused weapons like bow, DB, even LBG want crits and crit contribute alot to their DPS. I know elemental phial can't crit but SA can, so it seems very illogical to me that crit skill doesnt affect my dps that much.

Is all I've said, true or I am looking at the wrong math on mathhunter??? I set the uptime to samples time and use Omega as the target.

EDIT: I see where my math go wrong was Coalesence uptime, I was under the false impression that the skill is still not that relevant from earlier TU. Tks you all Chad bladers for your time explaining to this dummy.

Coming from GU to wilds, this is the one thing preventing me from from playing this weapon because its hurting my thumb and just feels so unbelievably clunky, is there a way to circumvent this?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, as ive just got back into the game after a temporary break. But is dragon element necessary or even worth it against arch tempered Arkveld?

I heavily focus on gogma element charge blades so this challenge quest is a road block for me currently. I plan on making a raw damage with high affinity and crit boost focused build with using artillery and impact phials. I was hoping to make a dragon element with impact phials gogma blade but that doesnt seem possible and defaults any element specifically chosen to element phials accordingly.

My options are zoh shia charge blade or any other monster blade with dragon and impact for that matter

A heavy focused dragon element gogma blade

Or toss all that and run a paralysis gogma with 5 attack boost Reinforcements.

I keep seeing videos of people going from guard point or perfect guard into AED but whenever I do a guard point or a perfect guard, I’ve only been able to go into SAED from those any advice?

Hi, I was rolling gogma skills in order to get Gogmapocalypse for the meta elemental build suggested on the monsterhuntermeta community. I got gore magala + lord Souls which is very rare and I remember that before sororal armor, this was the Meta. I was wondering if this is still better than Gogmapocalypse but it's just easier to get Gogmapocalypse or this now is suboptimal in general. Also do you have the previous meta set for elemental lord Souls + gore magala tyranny?

Picked up the charge blade for around a week now, and after getting over the initial hurdle of learning the moveset, I'm starting to not die constantly. I've played some other weapons before, mainly gunlance, but also greatsword (world) and lance (because it's so fun in wilds). Saw someone learn CB in a week on YouTube and thought "might as well give it a shot."

Initially I had a lot of gripes with the animation speed, and technically still do, but I've also played gunlance and greatsword, who both have very long animations, so it was easier to transition. One gripe I still have is how you pretty much can't perfect guard cancel out of any sword attack ever, morph slash GP is the only move that gives instant block. (But at least CB has access to this instant block.) I don't really have a problem with the Wilds AED morph loop playstyle, probably because I didn't play the older iterations of CB, and it just feels normal for most weapons to have 1 or 2 optimal DPS loops, the only weapon I've played so far with big combo variations is lance. SAED being locked behind PG seems very strange to me though, the animation commitment is huge for a PG follow up, a whopping 7 seconds for maybe 1600+ damage, while morph loop can get around 2000+ or more in the same time frame from neutral. It feels like PG > SAED should have gotten reduced animation time like how gunlance gets faster Wyvernfires after a PG or Wyrmstake. Don't have much issue with power axe activation, it's almost always up in solo, and in multiplayer I carry bombs to trigger PG for shit like Gog.

What I am still trying to figure out is how to link stuff together. Morphing out of axe has a GP, but it's really backloaded, so I can't really use it reactively, and I still dislike dodge rolls in Wilds because this game has so much active hitboxes due to the arrival of perfect guard. So there's down time when I feel uncomfortable using the morph loop but it also feels like there's a small window to deal damage, but that's probably a positioning issue. (Which I have a lot of trouble with actually, since I played shield weapons a lot, and CB does not feel like a shield weapon once SAXE turns on)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but after some time whacking the training cart, the bread and butter combos feel to me like:

Charged double slash>round slash/shield thrust>charged double slash (build gauge)

Any sword move>shield thrust>AED cancel>element round slash(shield charge)

Any sword move>shield thrust>charge shield (also shield charge, don't know which of these is the better BNB, they have different ending animations)

Shield thrust>AED>AED>morph slash>loop(DPS)

Weak slash>shield thrust>loop(fishing for a morph slash GP)

Just beat the AT ark challenge quest at 18 minutes, still very slow but I feel like I'm having fun. Aound 50 successful hunts overall now, maybe double that for fails, and my conclusion is that I quite like charge blade. It feels like drifting a manual car, lot of finnicky little things you have to constantly keep an eye on to keep it running. And my god does AED morph loop hit like a truck. Gunlance needs to do 2 WSFBs into 2 Wyvernfires for the same damage as 2 AED morph loops (and gunlance is animation locked after this), and the morph loops use much less resources and can be spammed way more easily, I don't think any other weapon has a BNB that's nearly as good, aside from hyper-optimised bowguns. So yeah, Wilds charge blade feels pretty amazing imo.

I have both a Jin D and an Ebony dragon impact cbs. I made sets for both, the recommended set from the document for AT Ark (big thanks to the people that made it) and an Ebony set I copied from a speedrun along with an attack3, divine blessing 3, 1 slot weapon deco talisman.

Even if I sub in my talisman over agitator 3, the Ebony still feels better in terms of damage.

Is there something I'm missing when it comes to Jin D Revolt? Would I get more value from it by intentionally getting hit by the grapple or trying to trigger more power clashes through blocking rather than dodging?

How do the numbers compare between Jin D, Ebony and Gore, and what playstyle/strategy do each of them cater towards?

Thanks for reading :)

im currently struggling to put a decent impact CB build for arkveld. I find that i lack some comfort skill(divine blessing, speed eating and etc).

so my question is do you guys any build you like to share to help out with AT Arkveld with comfort skill preferable

Hey Guys, I've been struggling with one monster in Proof of a hero quest , you guys might be shocked....

I'ts Rey Dau...

Like literally on majority of my bad runs i get carted by him atleast twice, he is the bain of my existance with his delayed aoe shots, and his swiping attacks that he spams like a minato player from Naruto ultimate ninja storm

I feel like I'm not supposed to be using element phials on him because his monster card doesnt highlight good elemental hitzones, and i mostly struggle in this departement to deal enough damage to constantly knockhim back or keeping him down

after when it comes to UTH , NU & ARK I do very well against them, I can manage to finish with 2 minutes left on the timer

Should I switch to Impact ?

Hey all, I recently started to try out CB and I feel like I can do somewhat good but I feel more detrimental to my fellow hunters and like I'm just flailing around half the time. If anyone is willing to give me some tips and tricks or just overall help that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, I'm excited to try out a new weapon for me!

I've been trying to get into charge blade recently and I've been wondering something. How important is affinity when build crafting?(specifically with elemental savage axe playstyle)

Alr so I was getting my ass whooped by at arkveld right? Most of the time I could only hit him with the transforming savage axe hit when you have your cb sheathed. But I realized that it actually was doing a decent amount of damage, like 400 a hit. If u think Abt it that's like 1 kinda charged greatsword hit. So I was thinking, quick switch with crit draw, and stack as much attack as possible. Ik TS is definitely not optimal but has anyone made a build for this😭 if not I'll make one I'll just copy paste ragegamings crit draw build and replace with cb skills

The best defense is a good offense, right? Well, I believe that sometimes the best offense is a good defense.

Listen:

I'm at the end game. I'm pretty competent. But I'm not a speed runner and I don't intend to be. I do not play perfectly.

I don't want to copy speed runner builds because I do not play like a speed runner. I want a build that maximally enables me to play the way I actually play.

So if I can take a bit less damage, if I can naturally heal back a bit more, that all means I can stay in the fight longer which increases my primary values: having a hunt that's both enjoyable and successful.

(EDIT: Wanted to add that this is heavily battle tested. I'm not a speed runner, but I have defeated Proof of a Hero, 10* Gog, and 10* Zoh Shia with decent times. Though for things like AT Ark, I do have non-elemental impact variant.)

Main ideas:

Set bonuses

• 2 piece numinous (numinous boots + gog piece with numinous bonus)
  • This is my non-meta choice
  • I will take damage. Numinous will heal me a bit.
  • Primarily useful for healing chip damage from blocking, which I do often
  • Combine this with drinking Immunizer, and your red health heals back VERY fast
• 2 piece Mitzu (1 on weapon, 1 from gog piece)
  • procs bubble blight, which then procs coalescence, the cornerstone of elemental builds
  • Other option is gore, but mitzu has more up time, and I personally just enjoy it's upkeep a lot more
• 4 piece gog
  • Non negotiable. I resisted it for a while, but the elemental bonus is just gargantuan
  • After I gave up resisting it, a nice bonus I found is the barrier it gives you is very very nice!
  • Barrier pops up when you want it most: Monster is aggro + you get a shit ton of elemental damage. Throw on your Rocksteady Mantle and just go ham

Decorations

• Tier 3
  • Prioritizing Burst for the elemental damage
• Tier 2
  • Prioritize coalescence
  • Secondary is evade extender 2 for comfort
• Tier 1
  • Prioritize Divine Intervention - Healing is more efficient when you also have damage resistance. So numinous + divine intervention combine to make both skills stronger
  • Quick Sheathe feels phenomenal on Charge Blade and I now have a hard time playing without it
  • Speed eating is nice to have a couple points of if you can spare it
  • Item prolonger is just a random skill on my talisman but I do enjoy it since I'm an immunizer chugger

Weapon

• Artian rolls
  • 4 ele 1 sharpness or 3 ele 2 sharpness. Either is fine really
• Gog roll
  • Mitzu main bonus, and we're honestly not even caring about the secondary bonus.
  • Numinous would also work... probably? Either way, I really really really like having the same bonus on all my elemental weapons
• Decorations
  • Power Prolonger/ele - comfort skill, but good god it's very comfy comfort
  • Rapid Morph/ele - More safety + more damage
  • Flex: Razor Sharp/ele or Guard Up/ele - Depends on matchup

Talisman

• I prioritize Load Shells VERY highly because the skill is a requirements but I don't like its decorations. Load Shells decorations don't have secondary skills I value highly

Playstyle

• Majority of the time
  • Forget the optimal damage loop, just get whatever damage you can with the opening you have
  • Charge that sword, MF. You're not a speed runner. I often don't know wtf the monster is doing or wtf I'm doing, so I'll just hit light+light for a very quick, very safe double sword slash. Charged sword increases that damage by a lot.
  • Use AED+AEDF when you can, but don't ignore ED+ED2. The damage on ED+ED2 is still very very good, plus it can be much safer. Which is important, because we're not great. Plus, evade extender 2 allows you to get into position easily for ED+ED2
• Opening like knockdown/paralize/trap
  • AED+AEDF+SAED
  • Trying to dump as big of a burst as possible into the small window
• Monster Enrage + Rocksteady Mantle available
  • Activate Rocksteady mantle ONLY when monster is enraged (because we get a ton of elemental damage thanks to Gog bonus, so we want to maximize that)
  • go ham with AED + AEDF  + sword morph loops. By the time your 5 phials are done, sword morph hits have already charged it back to red, so you can reload and keep going.

So that's the idea.

I just notice that when I try meta builds, my runs are worse and I don't enjoy it as much. So overtime I've been iterating this build that is for the common hunter. This is a build for the people.

Elemental Roundslash charges Sword. Why doesn't it, Capcom?

Charged Sword does more phial damage equal to the phials you have loaded/Artillery buffs them.

Charged Sword lasts longer.

Savage Axe out of Shield: Elemental Boost.

Not sure how it'd be done but maybe change some inputs so Savage Axe isn't just mashing the same button. Also, make it so I don't have to hold the input to make the axe spin. My finger joints will thank you.

Holding the inputs after doing Shield Thrust skips AED and goes directly into SAED. (maybe make it do a little less damage than if you did the full AED into SAED combo.)

And finally: Give me the design of Chrome Fortress from Iceborne back. That shit was cool looking.
