MH4U: Relic Armor Sets! (Dream Blademaster Set)

This armor set I've thought of is good for the SnS, Dual Blades, SwitchAxe, Hammer, Hunting Horn, Insect Glaive and even the Charge Blade (if you prefer evasion over guarding). Of course this revolves around relic armor and a miracle charm that is insane to start with.

  • Craftsman's Specs/Sword Saint Piercing - 10 Mechanic/10 Fencing 
  • Relic Armor - Edgemaster 4
  • GX Hunter's Arms - Spirit 6 OOO
  • Grand Divine Ire Obi - Edgemaster 3, Spirit 2 OO
  • Guild Boots - Torso Up
  • Miracle Charm - Sharpness 8, Evasion 9 OOO

The decorations you need are:

  • 2 Razor Jewel level 1
  • 1 Evade Jewel level 1
  • 2 Spirit Jewel level 2
  • 1 Spirit Jewel level 1

The set gives you a ridiculous array of armor skills and they are:

  • Honed Blade
  • Challenger +2
  • Razor Sharp
  • Evasion +1
  • Explosive Trapper/ESP

This goes well with Blast element weapons because the Explosive Trapper skill powers up the blast damage value or if you prefer, you can just use the Sword Saint Piercing to prevent bouncing off from hard monster parts. Evasion +1 will mostly allow you to evade any attack or even small monster roars. This is a very difficult set to get because of the charm but worth every effort put in. I just don't know about the looks though. :O

MH4U: Guild Quest Shenanigans! (Level 136-140 Rajang Solo)

At last! For my honor I've finally soloed an Apex guild quest Rajang! Though it was level 136, I still feel that it was a great achievement in hunting one. It was tiring, relentless and used a lot of focus for it. Took me about 42 minutes! Yes 42 minutes.

Ever since the day an Apex Rajang beat the living daylights out of me, I vowed to myself that I would solo one to regain my honor. Could have beaten him faster if I had a better weapon, preferably a relic and if I had the Tremor Resistance.

So here are the armor skills that I've used:

Challenger +2
Honed Blade
Evasion +1
Elemental Attack Up

The weapon I used was Daora's SnS which was named Daora's Maelstrom and used the wystones Drive and Element.

This was a challenge! Of course you could just take him on with a group of people but to me, soloing him was so sweet and I think I've become a lot better reading his movements.

I've seen a lot of videos of him being soloed in like 12-15 mins, I hope I get to that range sometime after a lot more practice and perseverance. Never give up! Just a lot of practice and I'm sure this beast will bow down to you.

Oh yeah, I didn't use any bombs or traps to get a good clean fight. It was just a test of willpower. Next time I'll try to get Razor Sharp or Tremor resist instead of Evasion +1 and Elemental Attack Up. Weakness Exploit would also be nice since he has high hitzones for almost every part.

So that's that for my soloing shenanigans, till next time guys! Happy hunting!

MH4U: Hunting Horn (HH) Overview!

(Image from MHwikia)
The Hunting Horn! A weapon that does a lot of exhaust damage and KO as well! Some overlook it as a weapon only used for its buffs but to an expert HH user, he/she can turn it into a devastating weapon.

Never forget to play the Double White note as this is your self buff and doing it twice will make your attacks bounce less on hard monster parts so always try and notice if the effect isn't activated anymore. Without the Double White, you'll just be moving so slow, but with the Double White activated, you'll be as fast or even faster than the movement of an SnS user!

When compared to the Hammer, the HH is stronger in terms of exhaust damage which means you'll be making monsters fatigue faster the more times you hit it on the head. Remember that fatigued monsters lasts longer on traps which means more damage can be dealt in just a single trap! The fatigue status on monsters give off "tired"openings so always take advantage of that and pound away to get a good KO.

Know the songs of the HH you're using because the song it has differs from every other HH. Check out the songs and pick which of those would benefit you most in certain situations. The buffs except for the Double White, affect the whole hunting party!

These are just examples of  how awesome the buffs the HH has:

  • Attack Up
  • Defense Up
  • High/Low Grade Earplugs
  • Infinite Stamina
  • Max HP up
  • Healing
  • Sonic Bomb effect
  • Negate mud/snow
  • Negate Blights
  • Raise certain element tolerance
  • Wind Proof
Just by looking at the song effect the HH has, you'll know how big of an impact it has in a hunt and you can even extend the effects using the skill Horn Maestro! The HH has no guard but it contemplates with it's vast array of buffs so don't forget to sing those cool tunes during monster openings.

*The attacks of the HH always have super armor*

The HH is like a support, high DPS weapon capable of many things. Don't be affected by what others say about your preferred weapon, like the HH, many people think the HH is a weapon only used for its buffs but in fact, the buffs are just the extension of the HH itself. Hope I've helped you in giving a good look at the HH, if so, grab one and let's sing to victory. Happy hunting!
