Hi, I have decided to use hunting horn while trying to get all my layered armour.

So far I have been having lots of fun with it.

However I feel I take too long to buff up before going to fight a monster and thus I would like to try to minimize that time.

Is there an optimal combo to buff myself before fighting a monster?

Thank you!

Kinda fun mod ngl but i feels weird using it again. Im so used to angling the resounding melody to ripple through arks chains.

Two simple truths:

They're gonna have to pry my boomstick outta my cold dead hands, and I love playing this game with my friends.

A third truth would be I love getting buffs without having to apply them myself so I come to you good people to see what drew you to the weapon and how I can gently.. GENTLY.. push my beginner friend towards playing HH.

For a little context, they're brand new to MH and Wilds is their first game, I don't wanna be an asshole and take away their agency.. only that my other two friends are Bow and GS and we kind of would have the perfect DPS/Tank/Support thing going if they were to play HH so..

What do you guys think this new Hunting Horn attack will look like in Ascendance? My guess is that it’ll be something like the spinning attack we used to have in World! 🙌🏽

Also, what other monsters do you think we’ll get? I could see Malfestio or even Velkhana coming back. They’d fit the theme perfectly!

Hey everyone, I picked up Monster hunter wilds not too long ago and started instantly doing research on everything I can and thought, " I get to beat up monsters with MUSIC?!" Saw the weapons trailer, and now I'm here. Are there any tips for a new hunter who would love to be come a HH main?

Thank you for your responses and wish me luck 🙏🏿

(Edited cause I didnt specify which one I was playing earlier 🤦🏿‍♂️)

Sorry for the bad clip was sleep deprived here lol.

Oh and it's the permanent event quest mod on nexus for those wondering.

What's your build when dealing with Savage Omega? either Full offense or support.

I've been able to Solo it decently, but I've been jumping into SoS which is fun, and I'm thinking of being a more support role to keep everyone alive and buff up to increase the chance of these hunts to go well.
main is a Gogmartian Thunder, so it doesnt have much buffs in its songs, all I can think is G Arkveld Horn and spam Sonic Barrier.

and I have never touched the 4pc Bale armor nor Omega set, cuz idk how those really work, lol

Hello, fellow Echo Knights! 🎶

Could you rate my Thunder Hunting Horn build in Monster Hunter Wilds? What do you think I could change to improve my elemental damage?

I decided to main HH in wilds and have loved every minute of it!

While I was sad to lose the spin to win from Iceborne the Echo Bubble has more than made up for it.

Do you think that the echo bubble will/can get a skill in Ascendance that increases their damage?

Either by increasing sharpness loss or an affinity penalty OR by having the Echo Bubbles Burst when you Encore or finish a Recital?

If so which qurupeco do you think it'd come from?

Hey! I'm pretty new to monster hunter, and I'm a little overwhelmed with deciding how to go about choosing jewels for my hunting horn, or even how to get them! I'm seeing a lot of things about horn maestro, or how it's better to just opt for Arkveld if you want that, I'm seeing things about don't use arkveld, or don't use horn maestro because it's counter intuitive!

There just seems to be a lot of back n forth with what actually works, and what doesn't. I need some straight answer pointers to what jewels are best for hunting horn, and a why would be cool so I could understand :) thanks!

Nothing to see here! No toots aboots!

Hey all!

I'd say I'm an intermediate hunting horn player. I've got a cozy version of the meta build, mostly decent Gog elemental horns. I'm not looking to be a speed runner, but I'd like to be able to solo proof of a hero. I can get close, but I'm not quite fast enough.

I don't need proof of a hero specific advice (I get to let the monsters kill each other, switch out horns between monsters, etc), but just need to get faster overall. I don't feel like I'm getting it just by continuing to keep playing, like there's strategic moves I should be practicing but I'm not.

Thanks fellow dooters!

Hey! I have a hh build and Im pretty happy with it right now, but i have 4 level 3 slots in it. now, im wondering if flayer OR Latent Power would work because currently those are the only lvl 3 gems I have rn that I think would work with horn (^_^)

Hi all,

Looking to start my hunting horn journey. I am currently reading the meta guide and I’m a little confused.

It says we can do a hybrid ele or raw builds. Ebony burst or doshugoma for raw. Could anyone elaborate on what that entails?

Any helpful advice on play style, weps, armour, button inputs etc would be much appreciated. Even if you think it’s trivial I would still love to know it.

Hi ! I played world and wild, and I always watched HH player from afar, and wanted to learn how to play that strange bonk, but I never understood how it was possible to "choose" a weapon to start learning it.

I mean, from my point of vue, every HH is different : each have a different set of melodies that are meant to be play in different ways. It seems difficult to go from one HH to another, having to re-learn part of your combos. So how are you doing it ? Do you try to keep the same set of melodies when you are switching weapons ?

Also, gog are meta for every weapon class, can you choose what melodies you put on it or do you just roll with the set it have ?

PS : if you have good tutorial for HH, I'm interested !

With Ascendance they mentioned expanding some weapon movesets outside of the new Boost Bracer. Do you think Horns should get a follow up attack similar to Hammer and Greatsword on a successful Offset Melody?

​

For me it feels kind of anticlimactic with how it works right now. The monster gets staggered away from you far enough that you barely have enough time to close the distance and get attacks in before the monster is back up swinging.

​

What if there was a follow up attack where you could input a couple of notes as the attack animation was going off?

(Rant post) Just had a guy in text chat (who was very active) compliment everyone but me… I’m the horn main… why not me bro! It was a bow and long sword player! Like… why… I was running rath horn, no one die cuz of me, I saved them so many times with life melody!

Sigh… one of those days I guess, I don’t know if he was trolling or I’m being to sensitive, but come on man… when I pop life melody like fifteen times in the hunt and give attack L, …I would like a thanks a least, man didn’t even say good job everyone either, he completely ignored that to specifically compliment the other two… sigh, idk man…

I'm just experimenting with different horns, and i wanted to go full raw damage from artian horn since it has attack and defense buffs, plus it has offset melody which is handy a lot of times. Just wanted to ask if raw damage is ideal, or is G Resounding Galahad still better overall?

what i specifically meant was that maneuver after a down stick performance where you kick the horn towards the front. Is there any reason to pull this off in a hunt or is it just used for style points? lol it's cool to pull off either way

i've been diving deep into the hunting horn mechanics lately and wanted to share my favorite builds that cater to different playstyles. for a support role, i love using the world's strongest horn. it gives great buffs while still dealing decent damage. if you prefer a more aggressive approach, the fully upgraded horn from iceborne really shines, especially with its performance boost. for those looking to balance both, i've recently been experimenting with an older horn that has a mix of healing and attack songs. what are your go-to builds? i'm always looking to improve and try new things!
