Introduction
Once you’ve played Monster Hunter Wilds for a while, you’ll notice that there are people who are somehow better at it, even though they have the same equipment and firepower.
The difference lies not in flashy techniques or the most powerful equipment, but in the way of thinking about fighting.
In this article, we will introduce small tricks that are not often emphasized in TA videos or strategy sites, but that advanced players unconsciously do.
Tips ① Look at the “time when it is safe to attack” instead of the “time when you can attack”
As advanced players are, they are not always looking for attack opportunities.
- The monster showed an opening
- I can hit you now
- But the risk of being hit is high
In this situation, many advanced users don’t dare to.
The reason is simple:
The loss of physical strength recovery and position adjustment caused by one bullet eliminates several attack opportunities.
Rather than “Can I hit you now?”
“What will happen after I hit you?”
It is a characteristic of advanced players that they consider this in their judgments.
Tips ② The time to stand in front of the monster is extremely short
If you look at it from an expert’s point of view, you will notice that the time you are standing directly in front of the monster is very short.
- After attacking, immediately move to the side or rear
- Stay in front only to invite attack
- Do not face meaningless
This is not because of good reflexes, but because there is a recognition that “front = a position with many uncertainties.”
As a result, the chance of being hit will decrease and the consumption of recovery items will also decrease.
Small story ③ Choosing not to complete the combo
Advanced players often stop weapon combos in the middle.
- Don’t worry about maximum firepower combo
- Immediately stop if the situation changes
- Prioritize positioning over damage
Especially in Wilds, the behavior of monsters changes quickly, and there are more and more situations where
“Going all the way” = “Risk of getting hit”
.
The strength of advanced players is the ability to decide to stop a combo midway through.
Small story ④ Secret is not for moving but for “rebuilding”
Beginners use the secret as a means of transportation,
Advanced players use it as a reset method.
- Keep your distance immediately after being hit
- Reduced weapon switching time
- Reconfirm field status
There are many situations where just restarting the battle once will change the stability of the battle.
Advanced players place more emphasis on “not collapsing” than “continuing to attack.”
Tips ⑤ Don’t try to force yourself to take advantage when the environment is changing
Changes in the environment can also be opportunities, but
Advanced players should not try too hard to “benefit”.
- Do not forcefully aim for environmental damage
- Decrease attack frequency when visibility is poor
- One tempo slower than usual
As a result, the number of accidental deaths and failures in rebuilding is reduced, and the total subjugation time is rather stable.
Tips ⑥ Advanced players recover faster
It may be surprising, but
Advanced users are very quick in determining recovery.
- Immediately recover when your health drops below half
- Don’t say “I can do it one more time”
- Transition to safe action immediately after being hit
By not being reluctant to recover,
as a result, you will not miss an opportunity to attack.
Summary: Advanced players’ moves are not “flashy”
Advanced player’s play looks plain.
- Don’t overdo it
- Don’t be greedy
- Does not collapse
However, the accumulation of these efforts is directly linked to
fewer bullets, stability in subjugation, and high success rate.
