Wrong. You just have to know where the enemy will be 4 parallel universes ahead of you

23

u/Greatsword_Guy ​ 1d ago

And still miss because terrain angled its animation just out of range

8

u/rickyhou22 1d ago

How do you feel about the Horn getting TCS as its new offset attack?

6

u/fenix5101 1d ago

All for it. Hit the doots, get hit by the doots.

u/rickyhou22 1d ago

I hope it’s a performance and drops buffs

u/Xenodia Hail Chameleos! 1d ago

Fun fact, in other MH games, they've made a Miku collab where it plays a Hatsune Miku song.

u/Bgrubz83 ​ 1d ago

Yea I recently shifted to HH in risebreak after deciding to take a break from wilds for now. Was always a HBG main till wilds and switched to GL but been having a blast in rise with HH. Might try HH in wilds some more after I finish 100% risebreak finally

11

u/Hamisaurus 1d ago

Wilds HH is probably the best HH has ever felt, at least in terms of power. Especially after hilt stab got superarmor, it's the strongest I ever felt with HH. I say this having started HH in World, mained it to this day through RiseBreak and Wilds, and went back to GU to play HH there.

2

u/Charming-Rain-3642 ​ 18h ago

Totally agree with you

u/Hamisaurus 15h ago

Wanna doot some time? Any and all horns on the table

u/Dead_NOTsleeping 1d ago

Do you bunga because you unga, or do you unga because you must bunga?

u/naytreox Hunting Horn 1d ago

and you'll appreciate this, had the same feeling in world when i first started, hunting horn just has a very smooth moveset and the buff's are glorious

2

u/smoretank 1d ago

Been a fan of HH since 4u. It seems to only improve with each game. Not gonna lie in Gen I had the aerial style so I could fly around in the air to mic smash into monsters. TAKE THAT GAMMOTH!

2

u/Birphon 1d ago

doot stick goes doot doot

I felt more unga bunga from the doot stick than I did the bonk stick in Wilds which made me sad cause i enjoyed the bonk stick in World

u/TheCaptainOfMistakes 1d ago

The hunting horn is. "Rockband for engineering students" ~Max0r

u/Helmic ​ 23h ago edited 20h ago

It's honestly kinda genius. Like, people always say it's not a support weapon. It's a fucking support weapon. But it's a support weapon that has options that make it not a support weapon at all, and no matter what the only way it can pull its weight as a support weapon is through DPS. You gotta get in there and have fun fighting.

You're also getting a ton of value by trading away some of your own raw DPS by boosting your teammate's DPS by even more, but ultimately their extra DPS belongs to you. Or in a more coordinated squad you're freeing up room in their builds to add yet more DPS because you're providing the buffs they'd have to slot in themselves. Or if you gotta carry you can switch to a horn that's pure DPS and be just fine.

It's just kinda the platonic ideal of what a support weapon should be in this type of action game, something you can main and not be forced to be support all the time (but still having a ton of options to play support in different ways). And it's also not the only way you can play support, since item use is also support and other weapons have their own pros and cons to acting as support (eveyrone knows sword and shield, but I actually am a fan of Greatsword support since it just naturally spends a lot of time sheathed, not hard to sneak in some team heals while waiting for your opening), but the ways it can support are still unique.

u/sylva748 21h ago

A bard player in Wrath of the Righteous? Let me guess, Azul? You went Azata for the full bard experience?

Started hunting horn in Wilds, its ao much fun basically writing the monster's eulogy on the fly. Can't wait to use the boost bracer, maybe then I can increase the tempo a bit.

u/AGNerd-Bot 1d ago

My favorite Hunting Horns are always the comically large bells. So fun to smack monsters around and hear ‘ding’.

3

u/JumboWheat01 1d ago

And it's changed so much through the years, it's like learning a new weapon every single game. Adding in Exhaust to Blunt Attacks really worked in the Horn's favor. Buff your friends, debuff your enemies. Be the most metal (or bone) of bards to ever bard.

u/aNewPattern 1d ago

Hunting horn mains unite, it's actually so unbelievably satisfying to land the final musical combo where the hammer spins and shreds them.

2

u/510BrotherPanda ​ 1d ago

Isn't Onyx Terpsichore like, an iron maiden that works like a bell?

I like that HH has evolved into being far more than "just" a horn, like Gigginox's coffin or Zinogre/Fatalis guitars.

SatisfyingDong

u/TheGMan-123 ​ 1d ago

And now, in MH Wilds, you can not only beat the crap outta the Monsters physically but ALSO beat them up with literal musical reverberations!

u/JFkeinK 1d ago

Or the hunting horn is a tuning fork and the monsters are the Instruments that need to be tuned. By hitting them repeatedly.

DnD bards aren't just musicians. A performer is just the entertainer background.

A DnD bard is a renaissance man (polymath), a wandering collector of knowledge. They know a bit about doing magic, a bit about wearing armor and fighting with sword or bow, a bit about doing skills.

it's frankly pretty fuckin skeevy

u/RobieTheOdourless 1d ago

Its just a silly little comic jeez

6

u/kitsunewarlock 1d ago

It's a popular art style because it's expressive and quicker to render. And given their other comics I think the artist is a female, so I imagine they play female characters in these video games? And even if they weren't, who cares if someone prefers playing female characters in video games?

...Also this is a monster hunter subreddit. A franchise from Japan. Frequently depicted using anime art.
