MHR Sunbreak: A3 Afflicted Rathian Vs. Courage Elemental Hammer

Рет қаралды 134,928

2 жыл бұрын

Despite the constant beating Rathian can take from Courage Hammer, Afflicted Rathian simply has way too much HP.
This was a little frustrating to speedrun and it took me a day to get this result. She's very fast and can sometimes waste a lot of time with her triple charge, which is one of the few if not the only "instant charge" in this game.
I stopped mid big bang combo near the end because I thought I was gonna get hit by the Wroggi, which for some reason didn't hit me. That was probably a 2~3 seconds waste.
I can't imagine sub 5 possible so I'm very content with sub 6!

I played Hammer for the first little bit of Sunbreak, but after grinding the main game with it I got pretty bored of it and MR monsters weren't kind to the "hold charge and wait for an opening" playstyle I prefer, so I switch to Dual Blades. Little did I know you unlock Impact Burst and Keeping Sway, lmao. Why they didn't give us those earlier instead of Spinning Bludgeon: Charge, I'll never know.

When transitioning from one charge to the next buffer a roll input during the animation and you'll roll without losing your charge, very useful if you use evade extender 2 as you can cross an entire area while also leveling your charge fairly quick.

@dynamo_lynn Жыл бұрын

As said by Bee. Its a neat little trick that Valor Hammer had back in MHGU as well. You can buffer a quick roll upon reaching a level 2 or level 3 Charge, but only once. If you roll too late, or roll twice, you'll lose the charge!

@AttackBacon Жыл бұрын

Is just doing Big Bang on a KO better than the charge switch to yellow -> Spinning Bludgeon -> Big Bang Finisher combo? Or is it a timing issue with the length of the downs? It feels like the Spinning Bludgeon combo would be a lot more damage, especially since you're keeping Impact Burst up, but I haven't looked at the actual numbers at all so I could be way off base (and it's a moot point if the windows are too small).

Ive been doing a bunch of the charge bludgeon and courage hammer, is that not as efficient as doing the standard courage combo? Also awesome speedrun!

@dynamo_lynn Жыл бұрын

The new Charge Bludgeon move has a small niche in allowing you to hit monsters after a first KO, knowing they will stagger, and then switch to courage/strength to get another attack in. I haven't learned this yet but as you can see in this run, I didn't really need it. The Courage combos are very fast and have great mobility, monsters staggering isn't as big of an issue as for Strength hammer

I've got about 75 hunts on hammer in this game, and all I ever see people say is courage is inferior. I have yet to try it, but it always seemed obvious to me that the style was meant for elemental hammer builds. That said, haven't tried it because I don't see the point of doing elemental hammer. I just want big bonks and KO's but judging by the title, my assumption was correct. I wonder how elemental hammer compares to elemental dual blades.

@dynamo_lynn Жыл бұрын

There is no stronger Hammer between Strength and Courage. They are equal. I know it because I fought monsters with both and the completion times were similar. Each one has matchups it will shine more in though. It depends on the monster. Strength is also better against monsters who take lots of raw damage to their weakpoint, while Courage is better against those who take less but also take more elemental damage.

It's honestly wild to me that you can dominate her fight this well with rng this good and still have Afflicted Rathian take nearly 6 minutes. Afflicted monsters just have too much health, man.

Thats part of the difficulty. You want 2 minute end game hunts? Just look at the sub 2 minute regular monster hunts now. Thats boring AF. You never even get to see their moves because speed runners can script them and never let them do an attack.

@meowsquared Жыл бұрын

@@meowarfmoo My fastest time for afflicted Rathian is currently 5:52 with Light bowgun, using dango adrenaline. Nowhere near the fastest times I've seen and nothing particularly impressive compared to this run, which clears it at comparable speeds with a much weaker weapon class. Certainly decent enough though to say with confidence that the difficulty isn't the issue. Afflicted Rathian has like 83k health dude. That's 17k more than Iceborne's Fatalis at 66k. You know, the literal FINAL BOSS of World's Master rank expansion? If a runner FAR more skilled than I'll likely ever be is just on the cusp of 6 minutes with near-perfect rng after beating on this damn sandbag of a monster for the entire duration then the monsters' hp is bloated and that's a problem. You can kill monsters like Gais, Valstrax, Scorned, and maybe even Allmother faster than Afflicted Rath and they're FAR more challenging hunts

I use the same build against her You could try a scroll switch if you knouck her out and use a normal tripple combo + a yellow impact crater, its just timing but works better if you know when you can swich scrolls back to impact burst the right timing with it save you around 20sec on a run depends on how big or small the rathian is so sometimes its just 10sec because she is to big... But same for me if i dont eat hero for her a 4min time is WAAAY to hard with hammer, meanwhile if i use CB or lance im just faster as with hammer the balancing in rise and sunbreak is not realy on point and that sucks for someone who can play all weapons It just feals wrong sometimes to use some weapons agianst some monsters if you can just use something else e.g. a friend literally could cry using a GS on gold rajang like he always do since mhfu but in my case i just beat the c*** out of him with GS I mean yes i can kill him with GS but that doesnt mean i like what capcom is doing i hate it if they change monsters too much I play mh since 2004 and also play frontier since ever until the server "die" and from all monster hunter i play rise and sunbbreak are a pain to play somedays with that much changes e.g. the new tail move barioth got, what im a fighting a barioth or narga ?
