Early game, the barroth line is pretty good, mid game the Nargacuga line is pretty decent, and late game the generic hammer to go for is the Grongigas hammer. Its not worth it to finish your combo but get smacked in the face by a tail.ĭon’t worry about this too much, generally you should go for the hammer with the highest raw and decent sharpness. Try to keep the combos short and roll between the monsters attacks.
See, simple! This gives you more time to concentrate on what the monster is doing rather than what your weapon is doing. That’s pretty much it for the relevant ones. X, X, B, X, X, X – Similar to the generic triple pound combo, but it skips the long recovery of the golfswing with a roll and does more damage when the monster is about to get up. Saves time from taking it out, then waiting for animation to finish before beginning the charge. X+A+RB – Not really a combo, but important skill to learn From a sheathed position, puts you directly into charging your hammer. When you are fighting very fast enemies, or more than 1, this may be the only way that you can consistently hit them without being obliterated. Tapping the right bumper resets the combo with a level 1 charge, which serves to both reposition you and set up another combo.Ī, X X – Triple pound starting with side pound This is shorter then the normal combo – – Useful when you are looking to KO something or you need to save time on the golfswing in order to hit it.ī, X, Y – Rolls up to the monster and uses an unsheathe attack, then sheathes the hammer again. Bread n’ butter when monster is incapacitated (unless its about to get up, where the YYAYYY combo is more efficient). X, X, X, tap RB, X, X, X etc – generic triple pound, ending in a golfswing.
You must learn to evade the monsters attacks – G rank is not forgiving in this regard.
You have to make a point of learning good positioning – you need to know where you are and how it swings to effectively hit the monsters face and other weakpoints. It also lets you KO monsters, which is very powerful and pretty easy to do when the monster is in a trap.
