As time has passed since the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, the “optimal solution” for each weapon has become clear.
This time, we will focus on the most popular weapons in the series, the “Tachi” and “Great Sword”, and explain the strongest combo routes that incorporate new actions unique to this work.
I guarantee that if you read this, your clearing time will be reduced by several minutes.
Tachi: From the counter to the era of “pursuit”
The installed skills like “Engetsu” from the Rise/Sunbreak era are gone, and Wilds places more emphasis on “slashing while moving”.
Derivation of new ki blade giant rotation slash
The main feature of this work is that there are more derivation routes after a successful Kikiri slash.
In addition to the conventional “Ki Blade Giant Rotation Slash”, a “Rasen Ki Blade (tentative name)” has been added that can be fired while moving in any direction with stick input.
This makes it possible to recover the gauge by getting behind the monster’s blind spot while dodging the attack.
Specification change of helmet split
“Kiba Kabutowari” is still alive and well, but since there is no Kakerimushi, you need to use steps or jump up from certain combinations.
Recommended is Derivation from weak point attack during “concentration mode”.
By creating a wound and then applying a helmet, the damage multiplier increases.
Great sword: How to use true charge slash and “furious slash”
The question of “which charge technique to use” troubles greatsword users, but in Wilds, the correct answer is “Change equipment depending on the monster.”
“Fury Slash” received by Hyper Armor
For monsters that move quickly and have continuous attacks that cannot be blocked by tackles (such as Zinogre and Nargacuga Skeleton), the “Rage Slash” style, which forcibly hits while taking damage, is stable.
In this game, there are many skills that allow you to record damage taken as a red gauge, making it easier to manage your physical strength.
Romantic mass “True Tame Slash”
The instantaneous firepower when downed or restrained is still the strongest.
Once Wilds’ new element “Offset (judgment close to Just Guard)” is decided, you can shortcut the charging stage and connect it to true charging.
It’s a high risk, but the brain juice you get when it’s decided is something you can’t get with other weapons.
Summary: Master concentration mode
The key to both weapons is specifying the direction using the “concentration mode” with the L2 button (or LT).
Since you can cancel the stiffness after an attack and change direction, you can eliminate the “fluffy feeling” unique to Monster Hunter.
In the training area, train your fingers to do combos involving concentration mode.
