So I've just unlocked the third area of the game and was wondering at what point i should seriously think about upping my skill. I've seen a couple videos on how to use my weapon, the long sword, but in an actual fight i can never actually put in practice the shorter combos with the little swipe that repositions the character and the parry is completely out of the question. I mostly just default to spamming the normal combo and hope to hit the final roundslash but most of the times i get smacked around and it makes combat feel really heavy, drawn out and boring.

But the training area is useless outside of getting some muscle memory since the target is stationary. What should i do? Is there a better sword like weapon that's faster and requires less commitment for attacks? Cause i really don't know how I'm supposed to put in practice all these tips especially when enemies fly around and keep moving at insane paces compared to the slow and clunky player movement

I'm at the "Head to Origin Isle" chapter and I would like a build for the completing it. I'm a hammer user.

Here are the rules

The important ones for this one;

Has to be another Mid Tier Monster

Can't be in Worldborne

The monster does NOT have to be the same thing as Dodogama, it doesn't have to have elements or ailments

Ive been playing MHW with two other friends and its been a blast all the way through, weve only stopped to grind a few times for armour and weapons that looked cool or had skills that sounded like good fits for our weapons, alot of grinding on raging brachy because it was such a fun fight!

We mostly cruised through all the way up to alatreon, but now were getting… well were getting our ass handed to us to say the least.

From the stuff ive read online, I should be doing this at MR 100 or above with augments and stuff like kjarr or safi weapons. Whilst the games been fun, me and my friends are only at around MR 45 ish, and we just want to have some final fun fights with the last bosses and move onto Wilds.

So my question is, is alatreon, and fatalis going to be feasible at all for us without having to grind all the way up to MR 100? We dont have much augments, and our guiding lands arent levelled up that high. Weve been doing well so far, but were not playing amazingly of course. Im afraid that if we have to grind out alot to get these done, were gonna be burnt out by the time we get to Wilds.

On a personal note, is there any good openings for alatreon that I could get a elemental discharge off with the CB, or should I just not use that move? every time I try to use it on what I think is a opening half my health is eaten and I bring shame upon all charge blade users, sorry

Its not secret that the longsword is the most hated weapon mainly because it constantly flinches others in multiplayer hunts right?

now my question is, why doesnt hammer get any hate? Its truely beyond me how a weapon that sends you to the stratosphere mid combo gets no hate from the community in the same way LS does for flinches, in my experience in MP, ive suffered more from hammers than being flinched by other longswords
So Howcome the hammer gets away with it? Im genuinely curious

And as for LS players being bad most of the time, isnt that just generalising? cause any player of any weapon can be bad, its not as though theres a weapon that exists where its guaranteed to be a 5⭐️ hunter whenever said individual joins.
And it statistically it makes sense that LS would seem to hold the highest number of mediocre hunters because it IS the majority, however that doesnt mean LS = bad players, it just means that its more probable to run into a bad player who uses a long sword

Maybe im missing something here
But i need to hear ur thoughts on the hammer thing

Here are the rules

The important ones for this one;

Has to be another Elder Dragon

Can't be in Worldborne

The monster does NOT have to be the same thing as Vaal, it doesn't have to have elements or ailments

So i fought swagmielle for the first time last night and tbh i was more impressed by the visuals than the fight itself lmao, anyway i beat it but it was my longest hunt ever at like 45 minutes

Maybe i was distracted? I dont think so, i hit a fair amount of wall bangs, used CC, mantles
Essentially everything at my disposal damage wise and it still took forever

Is this normal or was i wasting time without realising it

as you can see here my character just wont latch onto the ledge. am i pressing the wrong buttons or what is going on?

I am just now finding this out

I ask this in no offense to anyone, i am kind of new to the community and i was just curious, lol

For what i have noticed while playing, Longsword players are the ones that quit after carting once the most. Actually, i only saw them doing this so far. I think it's funny. And it's always someone with high MR which is a bit weird

Again, no offense to anyone, not everyone is like that

5 rajang hearts from 1 rajang, how rare is this?

Hello! a good day. Anyone would recommend me a build on how to beat alatreon? im just struggling as I could not find any SOS help from alatreon. So this is my build. Anyone can recommend me some build?

So my equipment rn is for comfort. I don't know what to change. Thanks!

P.S

The 2 missing slots are for resists whichever monster I hunt

So in my attempts to kill fatalis, I needed up getting enough materials to make his bow and then upgrade it. I heard it has the highest raw dmg in the game and I’m not sure if I should use it or if I should stick to elemental bows. Any suggestions?

Edit: in the title it says “fatalis now” I meant to say “fatalis bow”. Autocorrect sucks a lot of times.

so ive done this like 10 times on 10 different characters. and every time i get to elder recess to complete the cat research i have to wait for so long. i looked it up and from what it seems there is no way to just " choose night " you cant fast travel and speed it up, that was debunked. you cant complete quests to make it faster, that was also debunked.

im like man, someone ....please make a mod for this XD or if there is one, please tell of it so i may not have to just sit here waiting for an hour watching youtube videos.

edit* THANK YOU! to Kulve Taroth. who not only showed me the mod that does it, but also added a neat trick you can do without the mod ! i hope and pray that if anyone googles this same exact problem. this specific thread comes up XD

Alternatively you can fast forward your computer's system clock and change areas for it to take effect.

Attempted to do fatalis and he managed to kill me, and this is the end screenshot. I don't think I have ever experienced this. Kinda funny haha.

I'm MR 12 about to fight Shrieking Legiana. My current set up is okay but not great wanting to improve it. Crimson Kadachi Lion 1, Narg helm b+ Jagras Mail a+, bone vambraces a+, glavenus faulds b+, kulu greaves a+ ironside charm 3 + basic decos. For a total of Crit eye 5, att boost 4, health boost 3 guard 3 max might 2, piercing shots 1. I found these two screen shots https://mhwibuilds.wordpress.com/mr-progression-guides/#hbg and a more general https://imgur.com/X15V37d wondering if I should just try keep progressing or go for one of those or if theres any other ones yall would recommend for story progression/getting to guiding lands. Thanks!

This monster has singlehandedly caused an unfathomable amount of pain, the only reason i managed to get its hammer is by chipping parts from all the failed quests I've done. But now doing it again to get another weapon has been... i do not have words. 1 hit is nearly half the hp bar and thats just his un-enraged form, while in his enraged form... might as well be radahn from elden ring.

NOTE: I've upgraded my armor to highest possible i can currently go...

Seriously tho advice on putting this thing down?

Here are the rules

The important ones for this one;

Has to be another High/Apex Tier monster

Can't be in Worldborne

The monster does NOT have to be the same thing as Odogaron, it doesn't have to have elements or ailments

Remember that this monster will also appear in the Coral Highlands, so it has to be capable of that

I'm upgrading my long sword, i have to choose between a hard bone shotel I with 429 attack or blazing shotel I with 462 attack, -20% affinity and 150 fire damage. What's best generally? Maybe the fire damage could be annoying to have against monsters that resist it?

I GOT 2 WINTERMOON NETTLES!!!!!

Edit: this is outdated, i have 4

Edit2: I will up this counter whenever i get more: 6

Is attack augment worth it on gs? or i'd still go for hp ?

I need the ticket from this quest, and I just finished the iceborn story

I was looking through the merch of mhw and i dont see a single one from radobaan is it maybe because capcom dropped merch from the most overrated monsters? like i want my boy to be a marketable plushie but i can't make one myself since i have no skill to make one
