I have a question, obviously.

Usually with an ailment inflicting build I would go with inflict rate up and salt in wound, naturally, but... Is there a why to make a reliable built without it?

Using inflict rate up and salt in wound takes up two slots making them non-elemental and thus costing me eventual elemental bingos related to my monsties elemental type. It's kind of annoying.

Of course debilitating lilt would be an option but for an elemental bingo it kind of only makes sense on a water type monstie.

How much of an influence are the ailment inflict rates of skills itself really?

I haven't found a solution myself yet but maybe you did?

Hello there ~

I have a question. I am planning to make a Dark Lord leech build though without using Malzeno which leads me to one question... Which dragon type monstie would be the best choice in your opinion?

The general genes I do want to have in the build are Dark Lord, naturally, as well as Night Parasites and Dragon Eater, Self-Heal and Stamina Surge. All other genes are rather flexible since they would probably depend on the chosen monstie's stats.

As mentioned I don't want to use Malzeno just because... I don't know. I already have a wyvernfell heavy Arkveld though of course having two of them wouldn't be an issue but also not really diversive.

So, back to my question... Which monstie would you choose? And if you're willing to share, what are your builds with Dark Lord?

After playing the Rudy's Side Story DCL today eventhough people have been ranting like shit about it, I have to say... I liked it. It's been endearing, it's been fun and it had the typical dose of secondhand embarassement when Navirou is showing up.

Of course there have been some minor issue and one major, the minor one actually being that the Nergigante fight was laughable easy and the major one... Well... Was it just me or did Navirou have a different voice actor? On top of not sounding like himself, he kinda also didn't really act like I remember him. Probably because they wanted to keep the general more grown up tone of the game but seriously, that's not Navirou.

People complained about the decorations, honestly? They're quite cool I think, especially the razewing decoration if you pair it with a nargacuga weapon and the rath soul armor and crit-heal.

All in all, here you have an opinion that isn't ranting and still criticizes while also mentioning something good.

By the way, the game is released since march, we have june, three to four months to get an DLC are awesome and quite early I think and who knows, there might be a lot in the future, the keyword is patience, lol.

I am working on a dual type build for Odogaron giving it the thunder element which is also supposed to be it's new main attack element.

The current build is:

• Adamant Rage (Egg Skill)
• Bolt Eater (T) (Khezu)
• Thunderbug Strike (S) (Zinogre)
• Thunderbug Blitz (P) (T. Zinogre)
• Critical XL
• Critical Kinship XL
• Inflict Rate Up XL
• Salt in Wound XL

I was thinking about doing this build eventually instead:

• Critical XL
• Critical Kinship XL
• Thunderbug Strike (S) (Zinogre)
• Thunder Attack Boost XL
• Crit-Heal XL
• Adamant Rage (Buff) (Egg Skill)
• Thunder Smash (T) (Astalos)
• Thunderbug Blitz (P) (Thunderlord Zinogre)
• Thundercall (N, all enemies) (Thunderlord Zinogre)

What would you do? Any suggestions which to take or to further optimize? Help would be appreciated.

Also, Odogaron is Protective/Attack, has Defense and Stamina Recovery +3 via excursion and the excursion skills Resonance +, Best Buds + and Unscathed (unawakened).

Having played MHS1 and MHS2 I wanted a new monstie experience in my second runthrough of MHS3 restricting myself to only new monsties which was kind of okay though why is the available roster of technical monsties that limited? Especially if you also don't want to use Elder Dragons?

I build my team with the forced upon Ratha (seriously, if I could I would swap it for Espinas), Almudron (chosen to be a spare for my beloved Mizutsune eventhough the one is power and the other technical), Magnamalo, Arkveld, Rey Dau and with those elements covered my choice of a technical ice monstie with satisfying stats has been nearly Impossible since I refused to choose Aurora Somnacanth because I don't like the Design and also the stats which left me choosing Barioth but only because I never used it in 1 and 2.

What monsties would have Chosen for a completely new monstie time without using returners?
