I wouldn't mind an umbrella light saber. If one is a elegant weapon from a more civilized age, imagine how fancy I'd be with 8 strapped on a stick.

Incredibly helpful! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. I was running my head into a wall to figure out how to get the gauge to full by attacking. Much appreciated!!

The gauge depleting feels so comfortable coming from switch axe this is my go to weapon for sure, keep up the great work 👍

Totally going to master this weapon!

I finally got to try this weapon and its a LOT of fun, I love the movement and the aerial combat a ton. And I actually was able to reach the Talisman across the large gap on the top left of the first map with having only defeated the first Kemono. Just 2 boxes and a spring and the dash got me across, although getting the zipline would've made that trivial XD

Rurikhan i love you. I started playing this game completely blind the other day aside from knowing "it's like MH", with my MH bud. He picked up the Maul at the start, and I was like, oh hey, Umbrella, neat. So he winds up getting these big damage numbers, and I'm like, well these numbers are ok, they add up, but they're not like what he's seeing when he does his big shit all over the monster attacks. Knew there was the parry, but then also just like, couldn't get it working, didn't understand what it wanted from me with a parry, didn't see parry actually having any affect or seeming like I was landing it, barely understood that the gauge was increasing my power, but didn't know about the combo after parry (w/o hit) and going into a throw, I've just been using it as an aerial weapon mostly. But now I understand more about what's up with this weapon, and I'm confident that I can make it work even if I'm not a parry god.

Thank you. That was very helpful. I didn't know you could build gauge effectively through dropdown attacks or spring attacks.

there we go a little star wars reference always welcome

Thanks a lot for this, the parry phobia made me drop this weapon at first

Ruri you probably should mention that you have special attacks after dodge and one of them is good gap closer. Also tip, if you parry too early or kemono miss you best is cancel the long animation after parry with the fly with pressing triangle.

Okay I just started playing last night and I needed this. The FIRST monster was destroying me 😭 not even MH3U was making me learn this quickly

This game is phenomenonal, dude. Really hope we get a sequel.

Parry to string attacks together the man is big brain thanks sir 👍🏾

I am late to the party cause i wanted to finish the game first before watching content on youtube. I am a Wagasa main and I STAND Celestial Anchor (I used to not even use any Katakuri till one of the last Kemono, then i stand spring but after that I became enlightened), it is simply the superior spring. it travels the same distance but can be used in any direction at ANY given moment even mid combo or even after a parry. it might take some getting use to but it's worth learning it.

This is the most satisfying weapon I’ve tried so far. It’s like a combination of my three favorite weapons in MH, LS foresight Counters + dual blades high speed attacks + insect glaive aerial mobility all in one pimped up package.

This weapon is the closest thing we got to a shield so it checks out that you’d be a fan lol

I was kinda curious if the game even had a counter-heavier weapon like lance or such, but it seems my questions are answered. Probably still gonna wait for a better time/price frame

How do you get the other upgrades for the umbrella

Maybe because ur old my guy facts!! XD same here. IG main let me tell u this is what IG coukd look like if it had a good parry feature enjoying this weapon a lot we should really learn how to properly aerial atk since alot of moves deems to have big grounded hit boxes but aerial hit boxes are small which would be cool for parry. Forget about optimal rotation this weapin is about style and free form movement exploring this is going to make this a great weapon.

Im having a hard time with this weapon, specifically parrying. When i parry, right before i get hit, i get hit, i found it more effective as youre getting hit, but I still can land it

You can build gauge pre-fight with the star bomb

I cant figure out what mount spring is, great vid.

Hey! Would you recommend this to an SNS user since you can technically use airborne attacks with SNS and parry using two wirebugs?

I love the wagasa, but the parry window is too tight for actual play (imho), and it's made a bit worse by being on a trigger. I need to get access to the game again to see what effects it would have on controls if you can move it to a button. I think the window is just too tight for me to use the weapon though.

I'm going to main Blades wagasa

The man who complained about insta block timing can pull off consistent parries with the wagasa? I think I’ll be just fine. Looks like I found my main. Thanks Ruri!

Umbrellas up ironbreakers!

This Weapon is an absolute guilty pleasure of mine. I like using it, but most of the time I get cucked by the kemonos. Almost every time i managed to build up the gauge, the kemono runs away. But i'll try again with the wall dive, looks pretty viable. Also funny that I completed the game without knowing about hunters arm.

I have tried all starting weapons and wagasa is kind of trash. Tight parry window, no damage without full gage and fast drain. Maybe down the line it becomes better but why you would like to suffer for the first chapter or something?

I suck at parrying, even the bear dummy kicks my ass I’ll keep trying tho

If I ever rich enough to afford a ps5 I want to use the staf I love transforming weapons and so far the staff is my favourite

Does wild heart have other monster other than the main large monster? Or is it just like other games?

Just got the game and man the parry is so wonky cause of the monster hit box. I have better chance turning around and parrying than parrying them head on. Hammer is like ez mode compared to this weapon lol.

I got that Star Trek reference.

this is me spamming descending thrust with IG

The Wagasa isn't for me ^^, untill i get the claw blade i'll stick with the bow i love it did the King Tusk in 2min 50 sec with the bow :D Anyway still a great guide with superb Time stemps

My issue with it is that the monster hit boxes on their attacks can be utterly janky beyond belief. It's not fair to expect that kind of pinpoint timing of the player when the monster's point blank attack may not even land correctly due to a 5 inch incline.

Hm Um-brrrrrrrrrr-ella

I'm extremely disappointed at myself I like all the weapons I don't know which weapon to main

Let me tell you hwat, I took this up against the very first giant boar and I got wrecked like the nub I was.

I'm I blind ? where do you see the stamina xD

Its a bladed umbrella, not a light saber xD

I'm ashamed to say that I probably won't main the wagasa because the very initial damage it has on monsters (atleast for me) are very low, hitting most as 1 or 5 in damage up until I get the second charge and the third which it then do a bit more but mainly on the spin move. Until I have more materials and access to more umbrellas, I will stick to the hand cannon

Big L for you PC players. I'm having a blast with this game on my PS5.

Wish I could start playing this game and try out this weapon...But god damn this launch is HORRIBLE... Refunded the game. Couldn't even get 10 FPS and the game started to play "MATRIX MODE"....

Parry along the tracking,weird hitboxes and shitty stamina makes me want to drop the game for now...holy shit!
