Is it really an ambush if it tells you its happening though? Whats the point if you can just dive because it gives you so much time. Super lame they did Valstrax dirty that way
My favorite thing in MH games is getting in that zone and fighting 2 monsters at once. Something very unique that Bazelguese really nailed and Valstrax perfected.
@@Ndßeoe72i28 the original was very heroic as valstrax in the base form is quite heroic and the rise version was made more menacing as valstrax cannot control their dragon energy and has become violent as a result
Tactical Nuke Incoming: The Monster. Ironically, I haven't seen his "Ambush" attack in Sunbreak much more than once per hunt when he's the main target. In fact, when I see "Crimson Glow Valstrax: Ambush", when he's _not_ the main target, I get this grin on my face as I prepare for a Wyvern Ride - knowing that my target is about to get a nasty surprise. You see, Valstrax always prioritizes the large monster as its target when it enters the area via Ambush. Makes sense, since the large monster is, in its eyes, the greater threat. However, Valstrax gets this one extremely annoying attack to make up for this in Master Rank - he'll hover in the air and thrust with his wing-arms, which have WAY more reach that they appear to. Also, Valstrax's melee weapons, like his GU counterpart, are known for being all-or-nothing weapons - extremely long white sharpness followed immediately by red. They also all deal good Dragon damage. His armor, both in High Rank and Master Rank, has a unique skill called Dragonheart. It's a 5-rank skill that kicks in when you reach a certain HP threshold. You are afflicted with a special variant of Dragonblight - first, you can still do Dragon damage. Second, it has the following effects based on how many ranks you have, which is determined by how many pieces you have on: 1 - At 50% or less HP, your elemental resistances change to 30. 2 - Same as 1, but your elemental resistances change to 50. 3 - Same as 2, but it activates at 70% or less HP. 4 - Same as 3, but you also get +5% raw damage. 5 - Same as 4, but it activates at 80% or less and you get +10% more raw damage. In base Rise, this skill was extremely good. Now...not so much.
@@rosegod444 Then you'll be happy to know that max Dragonheart + max Dragon Conversion = absolutely bonkers Dragon damage when at 80% health or lower. You see, Dragon Conversion takes those 50 resistances you get and converts them to elemental damage. Since you get a total of 250 elemental resistance, you get 25% of that, or 62.5, added to your Dragon elemental attack - and that's before factoring in Dragon Attack or Element Exploit. With the right combination of skills, you can get your Dragon element up to 300 on the right weapons. The 10% extra raw is pretty good too. And now that you can get Dragonheart on charms (up to 4 ranks, in fact!) and Dragon Conversion on both charms and as an armor augment, it becomes quite easy to run this combo.
Valstrax Gear - Epoch with Dragonheart attached to it goes crazy, because it sets all resistances to 30/50, and it's increased by Dragon Conversion, which, depending on the Swap Scroll active does the following: - Blue: adds +3/5/10 resistance (level 1/2/3) - Red: significantly boosts elemental damage output. If you combine this with a Dragon weapon and Valstrax Soul, your weapon goes CRAZY high in Dragon element power the moment you get hit once!
@@OmegaDragonGaming Indeed it does. 1500+ hours in Rise + Sunbreak here. It's even better if you can get a Dragonheart 4 talisman from Qurious Melding...

I’d been gradually pushing my way through the game with a build that worked for everything, but when I first fought valstrax, I knew I’d have to counter-build. My first attempt after creating a build ended up being the winning one, but I died twice quite quickly, and the majority of the fight had to be done deathless. It lasted 34 minutes. Just Valstrax, me, and an arena.
Yeah imo this is better than the original. The extra bits of melody they added in make him sound a bit more mystical and awe inspiring Its also a bit nicer to listen to for long periods
Thats one of the things I felt the original themes lacked, it was so quick to the point and out of there. It fit that RUSH of the fight perfectly but I always wanted more of that melody and HERE COMES RISE MALLYWAPPING EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS.
-*Jesus Christ, what the fuck was that?!* -No idea, it flew by us so fast I felt like we were standing still! _Two seconds later, Maverick and Goose are obliterated_
I don't understand the last part not sayings it's bad it anyway but I can't figure if it's supposed to cheer you or valstrax is about fuck you up or I don't know really
@@dragonbournee5270 so? there are countless monsters with more than 1 variant, like rathalos, rathian, lagiacrus or barioth. I don't see it as an issue
I’m glad to see it looks like the majority of people here prefer the new theme over the old one. It’s fine if you like the old one but I cannot understand why this debate is so one sided as a whole. I prefer the new one and it’s fine if you don’t agree with me, but I don’t get why the large majority prefer the old one. It should be more mixed.
Beat this guy to death with a gunlance. It quickly became a contest of who was packing more explosive force than the other and I won without any faints. It was a good day to beat a fighter jet to death.

This feels like the villainous reprise of the original Valstrax theme which I honestly dig given the lore
Well Crimson Glow Valstrax’s title according to his ecology scene is “Star of Despair” so it makes sense.
When you put the pieces together it clicks as "wow, that bastard"
You're walking down the street, listening to music,

@@UB3R1NV3RT Since if you fight something else (like the valstrax+rakna kadaki quest)
He will ambush your fight with something else and join in.
I start praying to god that diving gives me immunity the same way it does in monster hunter...
If you think about it, Valstrax could legit destroy an entire city by just flying through the buildings and letting them collapse.
just dive bro
It's so satisfying to have him time his ambush attack and have 1:05 start right as he takes off
My favorite thing in MH games is getting in that zone and fighting 2 monsters at once. Something very unique that Bazelguese really nailed and Valstrax perfected.
I search a recent comment aha
This game was just amazing one of the best
I agree that when you get into the zone fighting 2 or 3 monsters and everything just clicks is truly something special
Can’t wait to get to HR 100 to face this guy :D
I managed to reach him last night.
It's totally worth it, my favorite fight of the game.
You are everywhere lol
His armour set is really good
I'm never gonna take it off
Me too but before i have to finish get to the ending of the village quests
This guy or this Dragon
Me: *relaxing while hunting hr monsters*
