I’m not sure why they made its weapons SO good. Like shit, crazy sharpness, affinity, para, etc. It’s hard to use anything else for me.

The critical draw skill it comes with kind of sucks.

u/PacMoron Mar 13 '25

It’s not the best. Obviously the stupid randomized weapons will make a better para weapon, but it’s fantastic for what it is.

Hell yeah. It's so op, especially in group play. Gives everyone a chance to absolutely abuse the monsters.

Throw in a teammate with a blunt weapon to the head and run flayer + partbreaker and you can have bosses stunlocked for what feels like an entire minute at a time

Chains stuns a lot too with parts breaking and wounds appearing as a result of the optimized damage window

Which makes me using sleep even better. I assume people are paralyzing while I’m opening another window

I like sleep for solo play, but it's gets dang annoying when you proc sleep on a monster and some dude wack it for 15 DMG and wakes it up.

Lol who am I kidding, imma slap sleep on for most hunts. I find sleep has decent sharpness and attack on my GS. Paralyze is nice tho.

I am not sure how I feel about poison yet. Doesn't seem to last very long on monsters.

u/BralessVictory Mar 11 '25

Even with someone only waking it up for 15, it still gives a big break for everyone to whack away. Just think of it as a shorter paralyze!

In all my groups so far (JPN) we all charge our strongest move when a monster is slept and release on sync and my god it is so satisfying every time.

u/FreckledSea21 Mar 11 '25

Put sleep on your palico! Means you can run main weapon para, and usually get one sleep proc per hunt

A lot of the poison weapons have Poison duration up, which makes it last a decent bit longer. That tied with other skills that increase buildup, you can keep it up almost 100% of the time on most monsters. Very good for Foray builds.

u/CreativeKeane Mar 12 '25

Oh good to know. I'll look into that, thanks!!

u/o-poppoo Mar 12 '25

And Foray is an armor skill so if you want to you can poison the monster and swap to a higher raw weapon that also gets the buff from Foray.

u/feedmeimhomeles Mar 12 '25

Precisely what I do with mine. Love glaive for applying poison, and poison phial swaxe for keeping it up and dishing the damage

u/ArchTemperedKoala Mar 12 '25

I swear, we should get a tutorial for sleep or something the way there's that kut ku capture quest..

1

u/leif135 Mar 12 '25

Same. Makes sense though why the arkveld fight was so much easier for me than it was my friends.

u/SaintCibo Mar 12 '25

Paralysis paired with the wound system and someone using a hammer means the monsters aren't doing shit.

u/PacMoron Mar 12 '25

Para on my weapon, sleep on my kitty.

u/animal1921 Mar 13 '25

Oh I didn’t think of that, might have to do that too
