What are your favorite weapons to fight specific monsters? Just wondering what matchups you get excited for!

I’m currently in love with KS IG and bagel is now my favorite monster to fight with it.

Will include a look at the season 11 monsters and upcoming updates

I avoid 10⭐ Stygian on the map (never tried). Lmao

I currently have focus 5, raw power 2 and critical ferocity also at 2. I'm using diablos bow almost exclusively and I'm building the B Diablos at the moment. I have limited time and resources so testing is out of the question for me. My question is, it better to abandon Raw Power and just do Crit Fero 4? (That's the best option I have atm w/ bishaten helm).

Currently on 9* map and feel comfortable killing most 9* monsters after a while, but I notice the map is like 30% 9* monsters. I notice my friend's 10* map simply adds riftborne status to a lot of the stuff I also have, and I was wondering what the distribution of monsters actually is on the 10* map?

Like, what percent is 10* vs 9* etc? Do you think it's worth pushing the 10* map if I don't plan on killing any 10* monsters but want more rift parts and r6 materials?

I've been seeing a mix of builds everywhere and that puts me in a dilemma. Which upgrades (+30% affinity, +30 Element) should I choose for the following weapons; dual blade, lance, long sword and insect glaive for the most DPS?

Prior to this i thought GS got the highest special gauge charging potential. I refused to charge with GS, because it's such a tedious process to try to only connect with the second hit of the third charge attack.

So uhh, i tried a couple things and this seems oddly effective to me. 2 back slides for ranged monsters, 3 for the meele ones and then it's just holding fire. Average charge should be 1/4 of the special gauge. In this best case scenario i got more like 3/8

I can finally sleep in peace 🍃🍂

Almu Almu Velk Nami Styg

1 retal 2 stunning impact fighting spirit slugger

Are these useless once you max out the Rose LBG and Pineapple Gunlance?

Mizu IG at 15/20 currently

I am at the moment using my universal B/AB/CM build for my IGs. For vanilla and KS it seems to work well. With AKA I am also having some success with it, but I feel like the style is just not for that kind of build. With less hits, burst and AB are tougher to proc and maintain and CM procs late.

I use variety of IGs, including Zin, Rathalos, Lagombi, Mizu...

What builds do you use?

Sorry for the low audio, I usually keep the in-game audio basically muted.

I WAS THIS CLOSEEEEE. if only i was a little patient at the end.... thought i could get him in 1 or 2 hits

Hello gamers, I have a few style-customizable weapons with enough materials for stat boost. Should I go for Attack Power or Elemental Value boost? Since I'm using these weapons only for related element-weak monsters the answer is probably Element Value, but I'd still want to make sure not to waste materials in case of some hidden weapon interactions. Some example weapons for me are:

1. Legiana Dual Blades
2. Mizu Charge Blade
3. Glavenus Heavy Bowgun
4. Rathalos Lance
5. Bazel Light bowgun

I have a couple of sets that I can slot in an extra piece. What's a good armor piece that is just good on its own?

You can view the underlying math by clicking "Show Calculation".

Some example builds:

• Vital Fire Special Skill DB: https://mh-builds.top/builds/new?code=013503140137010101163b451716030230750002
• Critical Ferocity DB (Feeble hits with Critical Ferocity): https://mh-builds.top/builds/new?code=013d03001837373d3701080004
• Thunder Crit DB (Crit chance and multipliers): https://mh-builds.top/builds/new?code=012003140137020202210342053b02750001770002
• Water HBG Slicing: https://mh-builds.top/builds/new?code=01380d002a38382a38022000027b0001
• Poison Buildup (Status Buildup Boost): https://mh-builds.top/builds/new?code=0140030010402b102b0214000360
• Critical Strength: https://mh-builds.top/builds/new?code=01370a003740360f37030206000230

To-Do List:

• Improve build validation (e.g., currently there is no warning if you equip Normal Ammo Boost on a Dual Blades build).
• Add detailed skill info for skills like Retaliation, Reflection, Stunning Impact, etc.
• Add extra weapon details (Ammo Types, Kinsect Types, etc.).

Not because I think it needs to be more powerful! I understand that increasing its consistency would make it more powerful by nature, but that's not why I think this.

Evading reload isn't a crit fishing mechanic, or a damage increase mechanic. It's a base function of any bowgun, alternately performed via a skill. Not every LBG can crit, they can't all fire clusters, they can't all fire slice, but they *all* reload. I understand needing to reset fights and try again because you didn't get your crit fero hit on your GS special, or because you got the wrong pattern for your script. But resetting fights because my gun just *didn't work* doesn't feel like RNG hunting, it feels like a weapon malfunction.

So we had a three-combo of special part breaker two dual blades and one lance. that was so fun.🫠

Hey everyone,

Been playing since start but the last few months I've really kind of waned my interest in the game because I feel like there's nothing to work towards. I've played a bunch of Gunlance and lately filled out the Rose gun LBG, but I think maybe it's time to try something else and get some new goals in, what do you guys think is a fun weapon to continue with? Suggestions?

Has anyone had good success with either? I'm thinking I might have a better chance with Shield Tackle I feel it's safer.
