Even all this armor can't boost my player skill (cries indefinitely)

[FrancoisXavierLaunois]

As a GL user, I have never felt too worried with the meta.
As long as you are having fun and the people playing with you are having fun as well, you're doing it right!

"why do randos cart so much?"
it's because the glass cannon meta like this gets pushed on them
new players should put on the training wheels to learn a monster's moveset and mechanics first
then as they improve, they can switch out defensive skills for offensive ones


no one cares for your dps when they have drop their own dps to lifepowder for you every 2 seconds

"How to become strong very early in the game"
Step 1. Beat the game...


Methinks our definition of "early" doth not align

I started HR with zorah armor and then worked my way up.

Step 1: Start new file
Step 2: Get the bone chest and waist ASAP
Step 3: use bone HH
Step 4: profit

"white sharpness is meta for melee" *laughs in chargeblade*

[phuckerpower]

There's "meta" then there's "works for me" 💁🤣

[actionpants]

It's worth mentioning that sharpness also increases the amount of elemental damage you do, maintaining white sharpness is very important for doing max dps on an elemental blademaster

[ugogalli]

Hey, thanks for the great vid. Just wanted to clarify that razor sharp on CB is meant to help you maintain sharpness through guard pointing, not SAED, and that there are actually a few builds that use it well ! Thanks again for the rest, very useful for friends who would join the game now !

[samb]

If I’m playing solo I go for offensive builds but with team I go for defensive because I don’t want to cart.

[stephenchen]

Great job on the video!
Just realized that I spend more time mix n matching armors in MHW than I do dressing in real life.

Lance mains: "wait, it doesn't take you 20+ minutes to kill a single monster?"

[crumpet-kun]

Evade Extender is the best defensive skill in the game for LBG. You don't need to conserve stamina like with bows, and the weapon is already extremely mobile.

[Spinexus]

TL:DR Drachen for raw dmg (+Kjarr ele weapons), crit element (rathalos, azur star) for element weapons and xeno/kirin armor for guns!^^

[Deadsnake]

I can think of a use for evade extender, gap closing for spreadshot HBG's. I'm still fairly new to MHW, at just shy of 300 hours. I recently, as in today got a glutton HBG from an ATKT I was mostly carried through. I say "mostly" carried because I contributed to the fight thanks to your semi recent video showing among others, a griffon blazooka build. I'm an IG main but I started low rank with HBG, ended up getting wrecked a few times to Anganath before I found my love of IG's. When I got into high rank I wanted to give HBG's another shot (pun not intended) and I discovered your channel. They're not Insect Glaives, but I'm slowly starting to appreciate bowguns again.

A 40m video could really use some timestamps

[lolimmune]

Meta be like "behemoth and teo gamma, there you go .."

[BlackTemplarpudsey]

Nothing to do with the video as it’s well done and good but anyone else feel the more you delve deep into all the super nerd numbers the less you care and just want to have fun

I think I've pinpointed exactly when Arch Tempered Nergigante will release. May 31st. Here's why...

The week following the end of the Spring Festival will have Arch Tempered Xeno'jiiva on Consoles. Exempting the Spring Festival, Consoles have been getting every Arch Tempered monster (Extreme Behemoth counts as an AT.) in order for the past several weeks. This absolutely guarantees that the week after AT Xeno, we'll be getting a week of Arch Tempered Kulve Taroth.

During the two weeks that Consoles will be hunting AT Xeno & Kulve, PC will be hunting Ancient Leshen.

At the end of May 30th, with the exception of PS4 Exclusive Content & the inevitable Summer Festival... PC will be completely caught up with Consoles. Hazah! Everyone will be evenly fair game with each other.

*_And just like that... On May 31st (Or the night of May 30th if you wanna be accurate to the moment.) Viola! Arch Tempered Nergigante makes his grand debut on all three platforms at the exact same time so we can all wait for Iceborne together._*

It's brilliant, Brilliant, BRILLIANT I tell you!

Ironically, this is also at the same time in which Arch Tempered monsters were announced in the first place. Capcom planned this out perfectly! *Exactly* one year after Arch Tempered monsters were announced is when Arch Tempered Nergigante releases. That's incredibly satisfying!
