You really smashed it out of the park with your excellent sense of (a) giving a solid overview summary, (b) training newcomers up on the basics, and finally (c) dipping their toe into the expert waters by showing some of the better combos and describing situations where you'd want to use each (including damage numbers).

    seing as this is a tutorial and many people might watch this. Do NOT wake up monsters with wyvernfire as arrekz did here. Wyvern Fire has 2 hits, one is the capsule bursting and the second is the actual, quite strong, wyvernfire hit. move backwards until you the the "out of range" indicator. because this tells you that the capsule will not hit the monster. The wyvernfire will then get the sleeping damage bonus (x2) instead of the weak capsule. Ofc, even an average GS powercharge (or if skilled a second hit of the true charge) outdamages this but in most hunts you will be the one with the best damage option if you do it correctly.

      With that trick in mind how would you rank hbg in the hierarchy of wake ups. I normally wake up as a hammer main unless there's a gs. I am interested to see if my hbg friend might have a better wake up. The hierarchy I've followed so far is gs, hammer, cb with saed, switch axe, cb without saed, hbg wyvern fire, gunlance, and after that it's basically just let the bombs do the work, assuming strongest attacks. With the trick where would you place hbg, also please help correct my list if you know a better/more accepted order.

    As a HBG user I'd like to note that you sort of speak of Piercing as a secondary option behind Normal and Spread however Piercing builds are right up there with them as a constant DPS option - the Legiana Heavy Bow Gun has great reload, capacity, damage, and recoil for all 3 Pierce shots and puts out impressive numbers along with having a good selection of support ammo types. It also lets you adopt a longer range style than the other types
    I'd also argue that it can be even more user friendly than Normal ammo because it just needs you to shoot center of mass through the longest part of the monster (head to tail or wing to wing or body to wing) whereas Normal shots have to hit specific weak parts that may or may not be facing you depending on positioning (and the weapon isn't so quick, to get around to a weakspot either). With Piercing you can just keep shooting and not worry about it because you've got the ammo capacity to spare with fast reloads

      Aivre Escend my build will have attack boost 4, critical boost 3, weakness exploit 3, peak performance 3, evade extender 2, piercing shots, and ballistics (still waiting for the deco on this one). Absolutely destroys monsters like the diablos who have long stretching weak points. I can have around 25 damage per a tick...and hit multiple times with pierce 3. I primarily use this ammo type because it hits multiple times and can combine a TON more than pierce 1 can. You'll want a vitality mantle (protect your peak performance) and an affinity booster (get to 100% affinity).
      For smaller monsters, I use the lbg karma or deviljho (normal 2 and slicing respectively)

    A few tips:
    -If you want to practice Wyvernshot use the Ghillie Mantle to get a really easy time lining up your shot.
    -The Legiana HBG (Shattercyst) can allow for an excellent Pierce Ammo-based playstyle as it has no deviation and can load a ton of pierce ammo (I run 2 shield mods and 1 long range)
    -Shield doesn't work when reloading and you cannot roll while reloading. Be very careful about when you reload and make sure you reload all ammo between encounters.

    @Stormboli- 6 років тому +97

    Regarding deviation suppressor, it has a massive effect on Wyvernheart. If you plan on using a metal bowgun, then deviation of low or none is usually what I find the most manageable, otherwise the reticle will jump straight up within a few seconds and make it really difficult to make use of the sustained dakka.
    Less useful on bone bowguns IMO, since usually you're not firing fast enough for the reticle jump to effect your aim too badly.

  • @kouriichi
    @kouriichi 6 років тому +160

    Honestly, as a guy who now mains the HBG in world, always use a shield. The HBG's roll is so bad, and should really be used for repositioning rather than dodging. Having a shield also allows you to fire more aggressively since blocking tends to be safer than dodging in nearly all situations once you hit the late stages of the game, especially Tempered Elders. A single bad roll can easily get you killed or forced out of the fight to heal/nulberry, where as blocking only causes some light chip damage. Even the most powerful attacks in the game are rendered jokes if you run Guard Up on your HBG.
    The downsides are very limited, and safety is far more important for your DPS than *slightly* more damage. Given that monsters in World have some of the largest, and longest lingering hitboxes in their attacks, just block. Its safer, and can prevent carting in high level missions by preventing things like Paralysis, Stun, or just getting knocked into a corner and having a Rathian charge you 3 times in a row.

    Definitely should add that the melee attack does quite respectable damage this game. It guarantees kelbi horns and it's actually better for hunting mobs of smaller monsters since you can easily knock them out and beat them while they're down. It's nice for triggering flash and nectar bugs and its ability to KO is better than I first thought.

    @jonathan6447 6 років тому +3

    A very important information on unsheathing the bowgun. Pressing triangle forces an auto reload after unsheathing if the selected ammo isn't full, pressing R2 will not. This is crucial because against some fights you just want to unsheath to block with the shield, doing it with triangle will kill you instead.

    Also Artillery boosts the damage of your Wyvern and Sticky ammo. Level 3 actually gives more damage than maxed out Attack Boost.

    • @madmanvarietyshow9605
      @madmanvarietyshow9605 6 років тому +22

      Normal, Spread, and Pierce Up all give a boost equivalent to Attack 7 and they also stack.
      Special Ammo Up actually does more damage than Attack 7, but of course also stacks.
      However Artillery does not boost Cluster Ammo.
      Quick Sheath helps a lot, it's around 1.75sec to sheath without QS and around 1sec with level 3.
      Personal favorites are Nergy and Teostra. Nergy for shotgun builds and Teo for pierce and sticky.

      I feel like this is really important. When I first picked up HBG I kept reloading on draw because I was used to using Y from my melee weapon.
      RT draw basically changed my life when I discovered it.

      @TheSlammurai 3 роки тому +1

      Earplugs are great. Most veterans will tell you to just learn when to roll through them, but Earplugs are way more useful on ranged or weapons with longer attacks like LS's helm breaker or GS.

    Hammer main, i wanted to spice thing up since a friend is starting and tried the bow, but wasn't feeling it. Tried Heavy bowgun and had a bit of a cold sweat when i saw all the ammo types and variations of cappacity from diffrents bowguns, but when i discovered what each ammo does and how hard it hits... It's pretty fun.

    @FacepalmNinja995 5 років тому +6

    As a note, after playing with wyvern snipe a fair bit, it seems that on longer monsters like diablos, vaal hazak, and xeno'jiva, if you get a lot of initial hits with the first shot, there are very few secondary explosions, meaning you actually want to avoid max length pierces to capitalize on the secondary explosion's higher damage.

    I am a charge blade main and I fell in love with the light bowgun and then shortly after I fell in love with the bow.. little did I know the heavy bowgun would surpass both of those for my favorite ranged weapon. Big surprise to me honestly.

    @SangTheCryptek 6 років тому +1

    Wyvernsnipe recharges decently fast; often enough that you may not always have an opening ready when it's ready to be used. My advice? Create that opening by working smoke bombs into your item build. Pop smoke, load the round, and pop off an easy snipe in the middle of the fight. Works great if you've run out of sleep or paralysis ammo, or if the monster has gotten too resistant. It also pretty much guarantees your safety while loading the ammo while playing in a team or solo. You can even use the smoke to reload all your ammo in the middle of the fight too.

    I think some important points missed. Using HBG Meele on Kelbi ( Deers ) will have high chance to drop Kelbi Horns. Also Wyvernsnipe is exposive damage meaning those hits can break horns \ armor plates \ spikes

    If I'm understanding it right, critical distance is essentially damage falloff. They way you described it made it seem way more complex than it actually is. I was thinking if you were too close you would also lose damage. I guess its the name "critical distance" which makes it seem like its a specific distance you want to maintain rather than just "don't be too far away".

    It's worth mentioning that when waking up a monster with wyvern ammo you want to stand a little distance away because the small hit of the wyvern ammo hits in melee range only and you want the big hit to get the damage bonus.

  • @PongzeLor
    @PongzeLor 6 років тому

    I believe for free element/ammo up each level applies for each ammo level. So one point in it gives +1 total clip size for normal 1, spread 1 etc. two points will then add +1 clip size for normal 2 etc. and same for level 3 and normal/pierce/spread 3. I didn’t check for elemental ammo and the specialized ones but for anyone using the basic 3 damage bullets this is how it works.

  • @PongzeLor

    Im not sure if I heard you go over exhaust ammo. It deals exhaust damage which is translated into KO on the head. It’s really useful against monsters like Diablo.
