Jho's tail and head are just really high most of the time imo, makes it difficult to cut and this is coming from a Switch Axe dabbler and that has some solid vertical reach.
What's the best glaive setup? I feel like I'm where I need to be but just want to see if there are any tweaks I should make. Here's what I'm running with now.
Catastrophe's Light
Pseudocath III
Odogaron Mail(beta)
Odogaron Vambraces, Coil, Greaves(all alpha.)
Dragonking Eyepatch(alpha)
Best general dps setups for Nergi Weapons imo
Vanilla
Dragonking A
Dober B
Teo B
Nergi B
Dober B
Attack Up 6, Weakness Exploit 3, 3 open level 3s, a level 2, and a level 1 gem slot
If you wanted Earplugs
Bazel B
Dober B
Teo A
Bazel B
Dober B
Attack Up 4, Earplugs 4, Weakness Exploit 2, 3 level 3 gem slots (1 for Earplugs, 1 for Weakness Exploit), 3 level 1 slots
Slots and Charm can fill in supplemental skills
Seen 1st turf war last night with Beetlejuice and the Pickleho.
We all just stood back and watched, was amazing shit.
Did 3k damage to each other lol
Saw Pickle absolutely destroy Dodogama, basically killed him and then I carved the fuck out of it while he ate the corpse lol.
Needs more turf wars.
Edit: NM I found the answer.
Lmfao watching him beat the hell out of Beezy was such sweet justice. Trapped him in the encounter expedition. Can confirm tail is a pain but managed it with lots of overhead switch axe swings.
His spin is hilarious in this game. Tail hits you two area codes over.
I was fighting a tempered Nerg In the open area where teo usually goes to start and all of a sudden a bunch of Gajalaka came out and started to blast it. Is that new from the update?
No it's been there since day 1, but it only happens if the host has Galajaka's @ level 3
So, Tempered Pickle quest released in the event section, and it apparently drops weapon streamstones, but haven't check if they are R8 or R6-7 ones. If it does drop R8, I may just farm the fuck out of him because I still have zero R8 gun shartz.
You know those spots where the area's Grimalkynes can deploy a vine trap if you ride a monster into them? When you have Gajalaka unity some of those can be Gajalaka firing squads instead (triggered on monster knockdown in that spot?)
Tempered Jho is no fucking joke. Fully augmented armor with canteen Large def and Armorskin. Can still oneshot with many moves, and Vitality Mantle is gone instantly. Can drop r8 weapon streamstones though. One top post on reddit has 2 warrior and 2 hero in the same pool. I got 1 warrior in my one clear so far.
Time to spam some Dill Pickle.
*edit*
Okay, ya, he's pretty much total BS on HBG. Few opportunities to shoot him because he's always towering above you and attacks faster then you can reload most shots. Can't roll out of any attack due to extremely wide range and distance covered. Takes little damage because his weak spot is super tiny and wildly flails the fuck everywhere and constantly turns, making most shots miss those two spots and does more damage then Tempered Nerg.
Just call it G rank and be done with it cause it's fucking nuts. Oh, and Fuck the two Jargas there that constantly shit on any sleep bombs you might get.
I love this quest, I really missed the thrill of a difficult MH battle in World. It took me 4 tries to complete the quest, which is actually 4 times more than any other monster in the game has achieved. The rewards being great and the battle being so fun, I can se myself doing nothing but this quest over and over until it disappears.
Have you tried with a shield mod, and guard skill, perhaps? I fought him with lance and the ability to block helps immensely. I know the HBG shield is not as powerful, but maybe with enough guard+ skill it will be useful.
Shields and guard skill won't save you (okay it will, but this was bullshit).

So once I get an odogaron gem and a pickle gem I'll have every fully upgraded dual blade in the game, 'cause I'm like that... Took 12 wyvern gems
