Delivered!
Played through the first quest. Great fun!
I can't remember how to do the wirebug moves. 😆

So far I like the new Jungle environment.

Train strike has nobbed off my weekend plans, so I guess I'll be playing this all weekend (Switch) if anyone is hunting

I'm currently at the GnR gig, and then away at scout camp this weekend...

It's great but seems a bit... easy?

I heard it's MR3/4 where it picks up, difficulty wise.

It's definitely ramping up. Rath has some vicious new combos that caught me out a couple of times (with no fire res as a bonus)

Thankfully I don't want any bits from Gore Magala. That's a way worse fight than I remember, particularly with the lack of space |

Heh! I'm still on MR1 quests, trying to decide if I want any of the new weapons at this rank, or force my way through and see what comes in MR2...

I used Switch Axe and SnS in my Switch playthrough of the base game. When the PC version came out I used Gunlance because it was the least popular weapon. Sticking with GL for now.

I'm using dual blades at the mo. The Teostra ones do fire and blast damage.
I think I'm going to upgrade to the MR Wroggi one.
I also want to restore my LS skills..

I've just built SAs so far (Daimyo, LunanonotthatLuna), but need to look at picking up Hammer, HH, LS and lance. Maybe an HBG for Tigrex because I hate fighting him up close

What early armour pieces have you gone for?

What early armour pieces have you gone for? It's SA focused, but stuck with my Rise build until MR3, then went for Jyu body (power prolonger), the pirate patch hat (Weak Exploit), Orange Bish legs (Prot Polish), Almud hands (Rapid Morph) then gemmed in Grinder, Crit boost, Focus and Stun res. Talisman covers WE x2 and 1 Partbreaker. I forget which legs I used. |

Yeah, thinking about it, I have a health auto-regen build from Rise, so I can stick with that for a bit longer.

I rolled a charm with 2 slots for gems and 3x attack up skill yesterday. Pretty tasty.

I’m finding that my muscle memory is working fine at MR1 - it’s the rest of the systems I’ve entirely forgotten. Coming back after a break and trying to remember all the side stuff like the Argosy, companion quests etc is pretty hard.

Might have got my LS mojo back. Managed some of those sheath counters fighting a Royal Ludroth and Tetranodon in the triple hunt at MR1.

I'm going fiarly slow but just got to MR3. Garangolm is pretty violent.

I found Partbreaker and the Switch axe power axe buff invaluable for Garangolm, it makes smashing his armbuffs a lot faster to gentle him back down (and also gives you a free knockdown)

The nice thing about monsters like him is that there's not really anything to sever, so while I'm maining gunlance I can obliterate the fuck out of all the breakables

Teostra is a relentless ball of absolute non stop bullshit

He’s such an excellent design. I really enjoy the sheer aggression of Teostra fights.
Very much back in the groove of this now. I’m finding myself not doing the critical path and just grinding out mons to unlock funky armours and weapons. And sometimes doing HR missions for fun to get lower grade materials for earlier weapon builds.
Still don’t have my head around the switch skills - the setup menu seems extremely unintuitive and I don’t quite have a grip on how it gets setup yet. But like all things MonHun, I’m sure I’ll get there through a combination of practice and looking shit up on the Internet.

Watching Youtube vids from people like Arekkz gaijin hunter, team darkside, and AngBata for bowguns gives me all the info I need.
As per, I am back behind the curve - just about to take on the Urgent quest to get MR2

Had to play mostly hit and run, which was a little frustrating at times |

Silkbind Sakura Slash seems to be a pretty sweet LS move. I can't really see any downsides (so I'm probably not looking hard enough) - it uses one wirebug, but doesn't seem to drain your charge levels on the sword...

I'm still working on the Sacred Sheathe move, can't quite get it programmed into my muscle memory yet.
At the moment I'm preferring the original sheathe where I can then get in a counter to up the gauge level.

I had similar issues so back to SA.
Except I SUCK at timing the new Ele Burst Counter.
I should just go back to my cowardly lance really
