Monster Hunter Rise (NSW) - March 26, 2021 | Steam Edition January 12, 2022

I'm not entirely sure if it's actually better then then a Narga crit build because the base raw isn't high enough to go full bludgeoner.

Handicraft gets it to blue, which I think would be the way to go since the 100% affinity frees up any need for WEX or any other crit chance skills so you can go full attack/crit boost/utility.

Teostra HH probably tops Rampage for overall healing now.

Never looked at the LBGs since I was on lance last night fighting but the Bazel LBG looks pretty nice. Top that with the head/legs for his armor set giving Artillery too.

[Krandor]

Without digging into the numbers I'd assume the Magnamalo LBG is superior to Bagel one.

Having access to the Spare Shot gem now opens up the armor for that set pretty well too. Previously had to use the Pukei waist if you didn't have a good spare shot charm, now you can roll anja for extra attack and another 1 slot.

Jesus time to do all village quests

Yeah you're probably right. I didn't check the reload times and after trying it out.... ooof.

[Krandor]

Magna LBG is pretty fucking absurd. Its only really knock is no moving reload.

Having access to normal/pierce/spread/shrapnel level 3 is just amazing for ammo economy since that's always a concern for Sticky builds, plus slicing ammo for taking off tails. Worked my build around for it a bit due to the new gems, and I'm now sitting on

Att Boost 4
Ammo Up 3
Spare Shot 3
Slugger 3
Artillery 3
Recoil Down 3
Stun Resist 3
Reload 1
Deviation 1
Flinch Free 1

If I could ever get the Goose gem to drop for the legs (which are also incredible for GL and CB) I could improve it a little bit further still, but that fucker is being stingy.

[Mrbeansman]

Should i prioritize attack boast past level 4 when it comes to stuff like agitator or resentment? How much do the last 3 levels matter?

Yeah it's pretty insane. I was hoping with Bazel it'd be a good cluster/sticky set since I've gotten greedy a few times wirebugging into a monster, filling its face with buckshot, then getting smacked before I can reposition.

That and Clusters look like fun assuming your team has flinch free or they'll be more mad at you than a spammy LS main.

Agitator and Resentment aren't as good in Rise as they were in World where you could activate them on demand. I would just get more attack Boost over putting points in either of them at this point.

[Corrderio]

Looks like slicing ammo is making a comeback a bit. Bazel/Kushala have shit values for piercing.

[Corrderio]

I tried soloing Teo on lance and wow that went south fast. Not sure if I'm just rusty or sucked in general with lance but he sure seems more responsive/faster this time around than his world counterpart.

[Krandor]

They've tweaked some hitboxes a bit in this one, which could be part of it.

Kushala has always had a safe spot between right up on the toes when it does that short range sweeping breath, but in Rise that's now an active hitbox, which is incredibly infuriating.

[Corrderio]

Well I just have to git gud too. Like I said awhile back lance feels a tad sluggish in this game. Trying to do my back advancing guard to cancel out of an attack seems hit or miss which was my bread and butter on lance in World.

[Ratatapa]

yeah Kushala is much more annoying then TEO

[Mrbeansman]

They seemed to have taken offense to how people just flash bombed Kushala out of the air all daily so now he just stays on the ground 90% of the time.

I need to find a new weapon outside of the hammer

[Corrderio]

I've been trying to experiment with HH but I can barely hit Teo/Kushala. The windup normally gets me

[Ratatapa]

So I’m HR45 with a blue checkmark at my hr7 quests

What am I missing ?

[Krandor]

Probably nothing, that's just the quests that are available so far.
