Reddit cropping is really weird

First gunlance in game to have the sleep element. Inbuilt rude Awakener, which can be raised to lvl 3 thru weapon upgrades.

How's everyone doing? I love this Wave 3 of Season 10 Mizutsune is one of my favorite since it's Zinogre's Rival! 🫧⚡

After extensive testing against the training dummy (which has an exact hit zone of 130%), I arrived at the results shown in the photo (generated by AI for simplicity, though the data comes from my own research).

In summary, regarding the final combos: the SSC deals more damage, as its total damage multipliers (motion values, or MV) sum to 373, compared to 292 for the SR.

However, it is crucial to note that the SSC charged attack cannot benefit from the Spirit Gauge, which boosts all damage dealt by 50%.

The SR combo can only be initiated when the Spirit Gauge is charged; consequently, it always deals 50% more damage.

Therefore, the SR MV becomes 292 x 1.5 = 438.

In other words, the full SR combo—aside from delivering more hits (great for status builds)—ultimately deals more raw/elemental damage as well. Test it out yourself.

Detailed SR MV:

SR attack	MV
Spirit Blade I	28
Spirit Blade II	34
Dividing Slash	45
Spirit Reckoning — Hit 1	36
Spirit Reckoning — Hit 2	89
Spirit Reckoning — Hit 3	12 × 5 hits

And from SSC:

SSC attack	MV
Spirit Release Slash — Hit 1	42
Spirit Release Slash — Hit 2	124
Spirit Release Slash — Hit 3	207

Important details:

1. A perfect dodge modifies the SR combo, skipping the first two hits, which reduces the total MV to 345 (230 x 1.5).

2. Each hit is rounded individually (up or down), resulting in a minimal difference at the end of the combos.

The armor looks really cool. I'm a big fan of the color, the silhouette is interesting, and I like that they matched it with the RC Diablos reward.

But making the ENTIRE thing a set? Horrible decision.

2000 gems for layered is already a tough sell, but for a set that forces me to wear exclusively these parts? That defeats the purpose of layered armor.

If the forced set aspect was removed I'd probably buy this. But hopefully this isn't the start of a trend with layered sets. Or maybe it IS the start of a trend and I spend even less on the game.

Played around with Awakened Kinsect. Initial testing on dummy poorly replicates the multihit aspect of this ig + Kinsect. The build itself was suboptimal + perfectionist, so I'm surprised it died in the end.

Currently I feel like Kinsect slash goes quite well with pretty much most of the customisable Ig. For awakened Kinsect , I'm inclined to use it ​​for Ig ​with ​smaller charge guages and more than 3 stamina, also ideally a faster Kinsect too. During recording there were times where I accidentally down swiped forgetting it wasn't the standard ig mark +harvest attack, but instead​ launches the bug. It was fine when the bug was done extracting, but there were times where you're just straight up animation locked waiting for the bug to come back to you. Also if you're disrupted in the middle of the bug launch animation, you lose your charge so that's with being aware of .

Summary. It's fun, but can feel a bit clunky at times. There probably is huge damage potential, perhaps for powder type bugs, but I don't have the resources to build it up yet. I think both customisations are worth investing in, but for Awakened Kinsect , you can't let the the training dummy's ​performance be an accurate reflection of it's DMG during real combat.

Can anyone tell me the current longsword meta? I've got a LS of each element to 10.5 and tigrex as well. Currently using the pics for my sets

I only have a chance of seriously practicing this one today. Wasted too much time with GS 😂.

Currently using retaliation lvl 4 and perfectionist for practice. Also included taps and swipe gestures so that we can see the timing.

Timing for crab was a bit difficult due to lack of familiarity, diablos was a nice practice partner.

Is it the event with the most R6 drops of the game?

On the map, only one ⭐ Kulu Ya Ku would spawn and even if I find a 2 ⭐ it never drops the material I needed.

I already have grade 3 equipment why the fuck do I need a specific weaker armor 😭

God damn, could have reached 800k if I can hit the tail.
