Toughened makes you almost invincible. I honestly couldn’t imagine dying with it. It’s my personal favorite

[matheusfaria]

I like Radial Blast too. It's particularly effective against enemies weak to Shock like the Tideripper. I also use it against Clawstriders, they seem to gang up on me everytime and I really hate these dudes in particular, so radial blasting them is super fun for me.

When it comes to Horizon Forbidden West Tutorials you are the best youtuber out there without question. This one was great. Your information is well organized and well paced so that someone interested in getting better can easily follow and learn. In's not just entertainment. I really like your walk thru series but I'm very careful about which video I select to avoid spoilers. Keep up the great work.
PS: Cant wait to see your weapons technique video

Powershots ends up being amazing towards the end game, when you have access to some of the super powerful advanced ammunition. You don't get access to a lot of that stuff til quite late, but when you do it will make Power Shots absolutely worth using due to the massive damage boost and free ammo considering the late game advanced ammo is pricey as hell to craft.

Frost + Powershot + Double Notch for sharpshooter bows. Highest output of damage Ive created. You can 2-3 shot the biggest machines. If they are resistant to frost, use purgewater first to allow frost to work. Double notch doesnt waste ammo and is considered 1 shot so it maximizes your valor usage and if you end up not using all of it, it eventually is conserved as the timer runs out.

Stealth Stalker was my first valor, loved it. Braced Shot however opens up a whole new level of fun

[TheGaragebandGuide]

Ranged Master + Braced Shot is incredible! Great video man!

I have recently found your channel. I'm currently about 40 hours into Forbidden West and you just provide some absolutely excellent information. Thank you

[csmaca]

This is one of the best game tips videos I've ever seen. 100% useful info with no filler or distractions. Awesome! Subscribed.

[banosja]

These 3 vids - elemental damage, valor surge, and weapon techniques - are amazing. ...just wish I found them before completing my first playthrough ignoring 90% of this stuff, and using the other 10% incorrectly.

[MK-vwvm]

Part Breaker is super OP. You can completely strip a Thunderjaw from every weapon and part without even leaving the first concentration.

I've returned to HFW, playing now for the third time, and found myself drawn to the channel again.

I still recall the first half of my initial playthrough, feeling that the game difficulty had been noticeably increased. Very Hard felt so much more challenging than HZD Ultra Hard. That was welcome, for sure, but different. Then, I finally started incorporating these new tools, Weapon Techniques and Valor Surges, into my play. What a fun revelation they were!

I just completed HZD before starting this latest journey through the Forbidden West, and again had to shake off HZD habits and knock the rust off of my skills. On Day 2, I'm still not 100% back in form, but watching your vids is bringing all the old skills back to mind.

Melee Might has gotta be my favorite. You can just cheese any fight by doing a power attack to knock a machine down, then do an r2 attack or two, critical strike, shoot the resonator blasts and repeat. Ez thunderjaw removal

[matthewarmstrong]

Thanks for all this help! Even a couple years later there are new players coming to the game and your videos are great.

[sonny]

With the new nerfs to Powershots & Stealth Stalker - Ranged Master has become my go-to Valor Surge. I'll give a nod to Chain Burst though - it's great for crowd control. Clamberjaws are super annoying to me but Chain Burst might be my favorite way to deal with them. Or just for fun - a Chain Burst Braced Shot into a herd of Grazers. It's kind of evil but I like it lol. Easy Metal Shards too.

just started playing zero dawn when it launched on PC thanks for these videos and all the newly videos u been uploading in past couple of days great work

[shumann]

You are the only person I found on YouTube that actually detailed how to actually select a valor surge. Thank you

[warriorlink]

I'm at level 21 now with many hours in and haven't been using any Valor Surges or Weapon Techniques. I guess they seemed a bit "extra" and were too different from Zero Dawn, I just didn't give them a chance. I'm going to try out some of these now! Thank you for clear explanation at the beginning of how to activate and switch between them.

[PluslePlayzYT]

First, congrats to 500!

Second, this was a really good video on these. Valor surges have always been a little confusing, so this really helped. Personally, I maxed out stealth stalker first, and like to hit a stealth braced shot, then take advantage of the cloak to make them unaware again, and by then I’ll have another ready to go. You can take out machines such as ravages with those two shots like that.

So helpful... moving from HZD to HFW has been such an adjustment... and how to get the valors turned on is something I'm still not solid on, choosing them, when they are available, same with weapon techniques, but each time I watch your videos my gameplay improves, thank you for such clear overviewes and deep dives.
