A good way to use pill is the buff stack like you said, combined with rocksteady mantle to prevent flinching, and a weapon with very high dps, like a demon mode dual swords with dash juice. You can just combo and combo and combo until the pill ends. Works well with damage boosters too because you don't have to wait for a knockdown.
I'm going to have to watch this and the attack booster video one more time so I can remember the time the effects last and what stacks ingrain in my head
There's a challenge(yeah, one of those things most people ignore) where I had a Heavy Bowgun with shield, but no Guard, BUT many defense booster items. It definitely helped a lot to increase the defense while guarding attacks.
You should do all the mushrooms for mushroomancer perk next. I play a support/healer build with mushroomancer, wide range, and hunting horn buffs that is amazing for group play. And they stack with the potions pills and seeds. Love to see the numbers for all the shrooms. I've boosted my friends atk from 900 to over 1500+ stacking buffs xD it's dumb op. I love being able to eat nullberries for team mates locked down or healing an entire group of four with one potion(gobbler gems allow me to heal the entire team in one second or less). I give stupid OP buffs to atk, def, and stam, heal, and strip debuffs off all while dishing out high damage, exhausting the monsters, and providing CC with pods and traps.
That sounds like awesome support!! I’m sure you’re in a squad but I’m always looking for more people to hunt with! Add me BrutoBro if you’re interested bro!
I do this with sns. While i like using hunting horn, the ability to instantly pop a potion without wasting time sheathing is super valuable. Sns can get instant heals and pods that can save teammates that hh can't get to in time
I think with dual blades, the defense pill would be really good. The slower weapons are more about finding openings and getting out but personally I find myself staying too close to a monster to maximize damage output... sometimes at the cost of a life.. #faintlife lol
The hard shell powder and pill work together, but the pill gives %30 boost to everything except the +20 powder The pill overwrites the seed, so you’ll need to eat another seed after. I’ve been running tests with a gear score of 100 defense So my combo is, Mushroomancer, eat my shrooms Unless I have megas Then drop a powder and pill When starting a fight or waking a sleeping monster As soon as it wears off reapply a seed Once they run off Next fight, powder, pill, wear off, eat seed So here is the stats,because saying something is %5 boost when in fact it’s flat +25, isn’t helping, like saying a pill is +95, when it’s a percent, changes a lot of your gear is only 100 defense You’ll see about +29 Seed +20 Powder +20 Drink +15 Mega +25 Pill + %30 So what works together Seed + powder + drink Powder + seed OR pill + drink Drink + powder + seed OR pill Pill + powder + drink So only a combo of 3 Seed and pill can’t be used at the same time, one negates the other Drinks can’t be combined or stacked either, one is +15 the other +25 You drink a mega, you can’t drink a normal. You drink a normal, and then drink a mega, all you did was overwrite the drink and lose it. And using Mushroomancer the shroom is like a normal drink and cheaper to cultivate or collect, might as well eat a shroom. Lastly the powder is a flat +20 that does not stack into the pill, so you won’t see an extra +8 once you eat a pill, however it looks like all other buffs, you have applied to get your full defense up, it’s %30 of that # you get from the pill! Yay Lastly don’t forget about your power and defense charms and talons, they don’t stack but you can carry the upgraded and non upgraded at the same time!!!! Happy hunting everyone!
MARKX9MM9XMOROS X sure add me, my PSN is Glitterpoprock I’m HR 109 I started making a video earlier today, but got busy, and tomorrow is the first expansion! So I know I’ll be busy! So I may not get a video made for a few days! I’m also helpful at spotting all the rare endemic life and Giant fish, since I’ve caught them all, and when I see uprising in certain gathering points, i know where to get the rare canteen ingredients, since I’ve finished all of that as well!
Already with my build I have 515 def with no buffs so this is gonna make me even more tanky plus I always run weakness exploit so I'm excited to try this out
Either things got changed, or the double-take was incorrect. Pill + Powder stacks. Pill overrides the Seed entirely. This is true for both Might and Adamant. The 30% boost includes all semi-permanent sources [everything that lasts until faint, so base armor, armorcharm/talon, and the boosts from the armorskin/mega armorskin. It does not include the temporary buff from the powder, and since it overrides the seed, you lose the +20 from the seed to gain the +30% modifier.
I notice once I took a pill and someone took something too and I looked back into my defense and it looked like I didn't take the pill but I did. It seems that some don't stack up but reduce the effect of the other when you just take everything blindly
It's not invincibility, it's just a sharp increase in defense. I haven't seen Alatreon because I haven't gotten to that point yet, but since it's presumably elemental I'd want to go for more elemental resistance where possible.
You dont really have to be super close to ur team for the powders to affect them, as long as they are in the same area~ It seems like its within hunting horn song range but since not much ppl use HH idrk what else to compare it to lol
You actually forgot the rocksteady mantle :l It reduces damage as well. If you combine all the defensive buffs and the mantle, you become an immovable juggernaut
Seems my brain would rather remember the title than something said within two seconds in a video lasting over seven minutes. Either that, or it was just too focused on "items" and not the "consumable" part.
I stopped at the 5% increase to defense at armour skin Whilst correct it is horrifically misleading. In high rank armour 15 defense is actually less than 1% extra damage reduction, as armour is not linear to damage reduction and gives diminishing returns
Thanks for the videos, both very informative. If not going for the atk food, would you recommend taking the elemental food instead of def when fighting an ele boss? Is there some kind of diminishing returns on ele resistance? Would be interesting to see a video testing elemental dmg resistances.
greaver81 taking the ele food is basically the only way to survive some of the later game attacks. It's the difference between a kill and a cart. Just depends on the monster really.
A question I have with your consumable items video. In this one and the last one about attack boosts, I was wondering do you know which ones if any of them are affected by the armor skills. Speed Eater, Wide Range and Free Meal. Being able to take potions and pills super fast in combat, make them apply to your team and also get a free buff sometimes would be sweet.
Please do a video about luck... Good luck set skill, lucky vouchers etc... Do they stack? Do they give you more rewards? Or higher rarerty rewards? Is it worth becoming weaker and change your armor? Or just stay strong and grind?
I know this is a super old video, but I can't help but think "wait... So, you want me to take advice from a guy who just figured out you can see your stats...". Yeah, im good.
Hey man, good breakdown videos. Monster Hunter veteran here and I'd love to make some content with you, I've got a lot of ideas and stats I want to break down since no one else has. Again, great vid man. Keep em coming
I can confidently say no, because look up above your health gauge; doesn't matter which one you take first, you still get both the def and atk icons simultaneously
*When you go into a tempered elder dragon or high level boss and nobody brings buffs* Sooo I guess extra damage and defense that could save you with a sliver of life because the monster desires to wombo combo you on frame traps. Hmmm such Prepared
Destiny player since D1 beta: I left destiny because of the obvious lack of...pretty much anything after you hit the level cap. MHW is an amazing game and minus pvp, offers everything and more than D2. Thanks to MHW, I’ll never go back to Destiny. Theres so much to do, that you will never do it all.
Honestly I will bet that D3 will return all the OP stuff that was in D1 as well as new guns and weapons and little to no micro-transactions. If this doesn't happen D3 will not get any sales at all. For me it seems like this game gets too grindy and I think D1 had just the right amount.
G rank isn't even out yet which is sopposed to be the late game, free DLC like Deviljho we're getting soon and I wouldn't be surprised if they add something comparable to raids from Destiny I mean Dalamadur (big fuck off snake) is in the game except the one we're seeing is dead I've been playing the game a unhealthy amount lol and there's still a lot to do even after doing the entire story sooo it's pretty *BOMBDIGGITY*
uhmmm... if it doesn't increase your armor buy a certain percentage then you shouldn't mention it. Ist itthe same with your damage boost video? if so i liked to know. but thanks to that i now know what to drink and use certain items. Peace
dynatwenty thats monster hunter .... You really are required to do that in end game if you are still in the main story its not really required but it does help.
Widgeon TV I came from your attack video and saw you had included percentage values in this video too. My mistake for assuming. Your videos look really well produced but the inaccurate info in the attack values video kinda pissed me off (I get salty pretty easily). I can understand the mistake tho, monster Hunter's damage calculation is so needlessly convoluted you need IQ of a million and a graphing calculator to reverse engineer it. My only issue with cases like this is the info is already out there on the wiki. I just am disappointed that all the destiny UA-camrs jump on Monster Hunter and make terribly misinformed content. I saw a GS build guide that used knock out king because he though KO damage was when you knock a monster over from staggering a body part. Anyway, sorry for the salty comment. Just try to make sure you have the right information. I would like to see a more informed community. Cheers
Chandler Douglas if you looked though the comments on the attack video you would have noticed that somebody did correct him and he did write an apology in the description of the video. He didn't need to show the percentage in he video but I personally think that looking at a percentage is more appealing than looking at raw numbers. Like if he made this video and only had a base defence of 15 then looking at +100% looks really nice to new players. BUT he did say that these are not based on percentages and showed that raw damage number for that reason.
Do you watch your videos before you post them up? You keep putting all these errors in your data. You have adamant pill as having a duration of 20 seconds, then in your summary you have it at 3 minutes. You can say sorry but this video and your damage booster video are the first two videos I've seen on your channel and all I'm seeing are you making mistakes.
1:53 wtf that drinking animation
A good way to use pill is the buff stack like you said, combined with rocksteady mantle to prevent flinching, and a weapon with very high dps, like a demon mode dual swords with dash juice. You can just combo and combo and combo until the pill ends. Works well with damage boosters too because you don't have to wait for a knockdown.
After watching 3 of your vids in a row I have no choice but to sub. Good stuff.
I'm going to have to watch this and the attack booster video one more time so I can remember the time the effects last and what stacks ingrain in my head
There's a challenge(yeah, one of those things most people ignore) where I had a Heavy Bowgun with shield, but no Guard, BUT many defense booster items. It definitely helped a lot to increase the defense while guarding attacks.
Thanks for these guides. Super handy to know. If you could do one on the different bomns too that would be awesome
Thanks for all the vids, def helped this noob understand all the boosters!!
Both of these vids are helpful, thanks
You should do all the mushrooms for mushroomancer perk next. I play a support/healer build with mushroomancer, wide range, and hunting horn buffs that is amazing for group play.

Wesley Redd that's my dream build
I never thought of that build.
That sounds like awesome support!! I’m sure you’re in a squad but I’m always looking for more people to hunt with! Add me BrutoBro if you’re interested bro!
I do this with sns. While i like using hunting horn, the ability to instantly pop a potion without wasting time sheathing is super valuable. Sns can get instant heals and pods that can save teammates that hh can't get to in time
Nick Sbordone Yeah, you can do some cluctch heals with sns because you can use your items with your weapon out instead of having to sheath your horn
I think with dual blades, the defense pill would be really good. The slower weapons are more about finding openings and getting out but personally I find myself staying too close to a monster to maximize damage output... sometimes at the cost of a life.. #faintlife lol
6:55 adamant pill should be 20sec, if it wasn't obvious enough from the rest of the video
Good content as always.
Great video! Thanks for the hard work!!
The hard shell powder and pill work together, but the pill gives %30 boost to everything except the +20 powder
The pill overwrites the seed, so you’ll need to eat another seed after.
I’ve been running tests with a gear score of 100 defense
So my combo is, Mushroomancer, eat my shrooms
Unless I have megas
Then drop a powder and pill
When starting a fight or waking a sleeping monster
As soon as it wears off reapply a seed
Once they run off
Next fight, powder, pill, wear off, eat seed
So here is the stats,because saying something is %5 boost when in fact it’s flat +25, isn’t helping, like saying a pill is +95, when it’s a percent, changes a lot of your gear is only 100 defense
You’ll see about +29
Seed +20
Powder +20
Drink +15
Mega +25
Pill + %30
So what works together
Seed + powder + drink
Powder + seed OR pill + drink
Drink + powder + seed OR pill
Pill + powder + drink
So only a combo of 3
Seed and pill can’t be used at the same time, one negates the other
Drinks can’t be combined or stacked either, one is +15 the other +25
You drink a mega, you can’t drink a normal. You drink a normal, and then drink a mega, all you did was overwrite the drink and lose it. And using Mushroomancer the shroom is like a normal drink and cheaper to cultivate or collect, might as well eat a shroom.
Lastly the powder is a flat +20 that does not stack into the pill, so you won’t see an extra +8 once you eat a pill, however it looks like all other buffs, you have applied to get your full defense up, it’s %30 of that # you get from the pill! Yay
Lastly don’t forget about your power and defense charms and talons, they don’t stack but you can carry the upgraded and non upgraded at the same time!!!!
Happy hunting everyone!
Amber Rose Eland so what combo is best used
MARK MOROS I can maybe make a quick UA-cam of what I use and how I buff before each game!
Amber Rose Eland can we play together Amber you seem cool PSN MARKX9MM9XMOROS
MARKX9MM9XMOROS X sure add me, my PSN is Glitterpoprock
I’m HR 109
I started making a video earlier today, but got busy, and tomorrow is the first expansion! So I know I’ll be busy! So I may not get a video made for a few days! I’m also helpful at spotting all the rare endemic life and Giant fish, since I’ve caught them all, and when I see uprising in certain gathering points, i know where to get the rare canteen ingredients, since I’ve finished all of that as well!
So you're telling me I have to decrease 450 by a little bit? Or a lot a bit?
Already with my build I have 515 def with no buffs so this is gonna make me even more tanky plus I always run weakness exploit so I'm excited to try this out
Great video. Pill says 3 minutes instead of 20 seconds in final results screen though fyi
I finished this video really late in the night haha. I'll do better next time.
Keep up the excellent work man!!
I farmed all of this the first 3 to 5 hrs of playing the game. Now, I have like 100+ of everything even attk boosts.
Either things got changed, or the double-take was incorrect. Pill + Powder stacks. Pill overrides the Seed entirely. This is true for both Might and Adamant.
The 30% boost includes all semi-permanent sources [everything that lasts until faint, so base armor, armorcharm/talon, and the boosts from the armorskin/mega armorskin.

I notice once I took a pill and someone took something too and I looked back into my defense and it looked like I didn't take the pill but I did. It seems that some don't stack up but reduce the effect of the other when you just take everything blindly
So looking back on this, since Adamant seed give 20 secs of invincibility then it could in theory save you from Alereoan's super nova.
It's not invincibility, it's just a sharp increase in defense. I haven't seen Alatreon because I haven't gotten to that point yet, but since it's presumably elemental I'd want to go for more elemental resistance where possible.
@@kylestanley7843 Elemental resistance does fuck all, all you need is elemental damage..
@@bell3287 noted.
w8ing for more
my god i love your Videos :D
Great video never new I could stack any of these
You dont really have to be super close to ur team for the powders to affect them, as long as they are in the same area~ It seems like its within hunting horn song range but since not much ppl use HH idrk what else to compare it to lol
Khennie Melon a skill called wide range :)
I thought the powder had to hit them unless you have wide range equipped.
Cody Jackson the range is pretty decent wide range just gets like the whole area
RockyYourMama Oh yeah I forgot about that lol
Cody Jackson And from my experience, as long as your team isnt all the way across a wide area, they'll get the buff~
Great video, thanks,, can u make an stamina boosters vid ?
10k hype!
You actually forgot the rocksteady mantle :l
It reduces damage as well.
If you combine all the defensive buffs and the mantle, you become an immovable juggernaut
He also forgot the armor/powertalon and armor/powercharm.
Hhmmmm, maybe because he said he was just reviewing consumables and eating buffs, listen before before you comment
Seems my brain would rather remember the title than something said within two seconds in a video lasting over seven minutes. Either that, or it was just too focused on "items" and not the "consumable" part.
I stopped at the 5% increase to defense at armour skin
Whilst correct it is horrifically misleading. In high rank armour 15 defense is actually less than 1% extra damage reduction, as armour is not linear to damage reduction and gives diminishing returns
The pill with challenger mantle must be really good
adamant pill and wide range! save people about to faint
Life Powder is great, unfortunately there's no Dust of Life in this game
Great video as always. Can you make one on sharpness as well?
Thanks for the videos, both very informative. If not going for the atk food, would you recommend taking the elemental food instead of def when fighting an ele boss? Is there some kind of diminishing returns on ele resistance? Would be interesting to see a video testing elemental dmg resistances.

This is good to know, i've been sucking major ass against the level five and six bosses i'm surprise that I made it to the level six bosses.
The pill would be better on a longsword or dual weild where you can stack famage really fast and go balls to the wall for that 20 seconds
Please do a video about the dash juice potion compared to energy drink potion
Whens the Health and Stamina boosts? Just want to know the durations of each than the numbers for these items.
Just so you know all meal s give 5 m give 10 and L give 15. Amd that apply for dmg and dr and element resistance
I know this is a super old video, but I can't help but think "wait... So, you want me to take advice from a guy who just figured out you can see your stats...". Yeah, im good.
Can you do a video to find on the mushroom mancer buffs and see if they stack with the attack and defence buffs
Thousandth like :) you deserve it
Armor charm and armor talon are not covered...
Hey man, good breakdown videos. Monster Hunter veteran here and I'd love to make some content with you, I've got a lot of ideas and stats I want to break down since no one else has.
Again, great vid man. Keep em coming
We all would love to stak up all this items , but this items cost money money money
Does Hardshell Poweder Stack with all Teammates? For Example. Everyone use it. Do i get from everybody +20 DR?
How do these interact with demon and armour bowgun shots? Stack or no?
How is all these stack with Palico’s Gadget and Hunting Horn?
hey been wondering, are you playing on a ps4 pro?
What about the defense and attack charm that you can buy at the provisions guy?
Benjamin Marino Pretty sure those are separate items that stack with everything. If you have the base items and upgraded ones they'll stack, together.
Hey, just wondering if these stack with the Hunting Horn and/or the Coral Orchestra?
army1237 yes
How long does dash juice last
only 317 defence? wow thats pisspoor. what HR are u. i run vaal hazak b and y and ive got 501 defence n 1167 combined attack
Does mushroommancer buffs stack??
Does defense buffs stack with offense buffs? Will Armorskin remove Demondrug?
I can confidently say no, because look up above your health gauge; doesn't matter which one you take first, you still get both the def and atk icons simultaneously
wait what ?! mega stacks with everythings ?!?!
what about elemental resistance
*When you go into a tempered elder dragon or high level boss and nobody brings buffs*
Sooo I guess extra damage and defense that could save you with a sliver of life because the monster desires to wombo combo you on frame traps. Hmmm such Prepared
No frame traps in mh unless you're awkwardly stuck near a wall with a weapon that cant block. Which is why i try to stay away from walls
What about boost feom hunting horn? Any one know
Your game looks so good are you on ps4 pro?
Yes PS4 Pro, I run the Prefer graphics setting.
Widgeon TV cool.
At 7 minutes you have adamant pill lasting for 3 minutes should be 20s. Just a mistake no big deal killer videos tho!
...Interesting.
You da man
Hey bro I am wondering, is monster hunter world a good buy if I played Destiny and had fun with that game ?
Dr. phalanges
MHW itches that scratch that D2 just can't fill. I say yes.
Destiny player since D1 beta: I left destiny because of the obvious lack of...pretty much anything after you hit the level cap.

100% it is a great distraction until Destiny gets better.
Do these stack with fortify?
Gamma Ryft thanks that’s actually really helpful
uhmmm... if it doesn't increase your armor buy a certain percentage then you shouldn't mention it.
Ist itthe same with your damage boost video? if so i liked to know.
but thanks to that i now know what to drink and use certain items.
Peace
dont put spoilers in this plz
so you have to feed your character with 10 different items before entering battle, come on :D
dynatwenty thats monster hunter .... You really are required to do that in end game if you are still in the main story its not really required but it does help.
i was just kidding, the game is fucking amazing !
It's as they say, an armourskin a day keeps the fainting away.
So Adamant Seed stacks with Hardshell Powder? You have so many mistakes in your videos, I end up more confused at the end of them.
Dang get fucked
yes :'(
IN THE ARMMMS OFFF THE ANGELLL
More likely confused because video has misinformation.
It's painfully clear that you did no research. The defense mechanics have not changed since 4 ultimate. They are not percentage based.
You clearly didn't watch the video. I didn't say they were percentage based. Thanks for the feedback though 👍🏻
Widgeon TV I came from your attack video and saw you had included percentage values in this video too. My mistake for assuming. Your videos look really well produced but the inaccurate info in the attack values video kinda pissed me off (I get salty pretty easily). I can understand the mistake tho, monster Hunter's damage calculation is so needlessly convoluted you need IQ of a million and a graphing calculator to reverse engineer it. My only issue with cases like this is the info is already out there on the wiki. I just am disappointed that all the destiny UA-camrs jump on Monster Hunter and make terribly misinformed content. I saw a GS build guide that used knock out king because he though KO damage was when you knock a monster over from staggering a body part. Anyway, sorry for the salty comment. Just try to make sure you have the right information. I would like to see a more informed community. Cheers
Chandler Douglas if you looked though the comments on the attack video you would have noticed that somebody did correct him and he did write an apology in the description of the video. He didn't need to show the percentage in he video but I personally think that looking at a percentage is more appealing than looking at raw numbers. Like if he made this video and only had a base defence of 15 then looking at +100% looks really nice to new players. BUT he did say that these are not based on percentages and showed that raw damage number for that reason.
Mark Tilton It's still annoying to see people not rereading their info before publishing them even if they apologise afterwards
No i did not enjoy the video. You do not explain how defence works. You have 317 defence, how it is calculated when a monster hits you?
Do you watch your videos before you post them up? You keep putting all these errors in your data. You have adamant pill as having a duration of 20 seconds, then in your summary you have it at 3 minutes. You can say sorry but this video and your damage booster video are the first two videos I've seen on your channel and all I'm seeing are you making mistakes.
I like the videos but I feel your content is way too niche and videos come slowly. Still you have potential to grow
Holy Shit this fucking confusin
Very misleading if this was just listen to you could have inserted a voice clip stating that the powder doesn't stack with the pill
20 sec
