Thank you Cake. Got unlucky with his route. Was tempted to reset there but happy I didn’t. I appreciate you watching.

Appreciate that Daora.

I can relate!

Np man. We’ve all been there.

Thank you

Thank you Luna

Counters in general usually require being targeted/hit in order to operate so yes being solo gives you significantly more opportunities to counter because you are always being targeted.

@@Yoesol yes I know, so I guessing I want to practice I gotta go palicoless

Thx Zo11tre

Sure I can answer your questions. So in the beginning I claw the monster 3 times and I do weaken the part. The 3 hits is to immediately enrage the monster to activate agitator asap. I do not do a knockdown because it is against the rules (TA Wiki) of the category the speedrun is in. In TA rules, you cannot use mantles, palicos, traps, bombs, slinger ammo, flinch shots( the slinger knockdown) , endemic life. Etc ( pretty much the only thing that is allowed is fighting the monster with your weapon, healing and buffing) The reason I clutch claw a monster during a “clagger” (stagger that gives you an opportunity to clutch claw) is because it causes the monster to stay in the animation longer to give you time to tenderize. But if you dismount immediately after instead you still get that increased time while also having an opening to do whatever.

@@Yoesol Thank you for this, very helpful!

Thx bloodsurge. I’m still waiting on that sub 3 magna from you!

I think ima try to get a decent TA AT velk b4 I re attempt it

@@mhbloodsurge Good luck.

It’s not bad. Can be intimidating on first encounter. Just bring blast resistance 3 and you’ll be fine. Tenderizing the legs makes it very easy to trip it. Good luck! 👍 And thx for watching.

Hey Malachi, not sure what you mean but this is mhw iceborne on the Xbox.

@@Yoesol is this a recent fight? Because I play on ps4 and I don’t have the claw. I’ve beaten the game and everything

@@malachiwilson7649 The clutch claw is an exclusive mechanic to the Iceborne expansion. If you don’t own the expansion that might be your problem. I highly suggest you get the expansion asap as it is infinitely better than just the base game. With iceborne you get access to master rank which has way more content than just mhw . All of my fights on my channel are in master rank.
