Bro I just fought him for 30 minutes was whooping bro then he left im using poison build too it just made me mad all that time wasted an no armor broke everytime another monster showed up he ran like a bihhh

Its interesting watching these old formulas, and knowing that world and Rise works on bracket systems of 80 defence, and anything inbetween each multiple of 80 is wasted. Yet seeing MHGU even as little as 10 extra defence can end up being helpful.

What is the .01 at the end of the formula for?

You are not wrong but I seem to strongly disagree with 4:00 your logic that more armor is not worth it because "it requires way too much defense" to take half the damage. My argument is simple. You should be looking at how much more Armor you need to take one less hit? Answer 20 to 40 until it jumps to higher than 40. 4:00 we assume you have 150 hp and you will take 150 dmg. Question is: How many hits you can take without dying? 1 Armor = 2 hits 21 Armor = 3 hits 51 Armor = 4 hits 81 Armor = 5 hits 121 Armor = 6 hits 141 Armor = 7 hits 181 Armor = 8 hits 211 Armor = 9 hits 231 Armor = 10 hits 271 Armor = 11 hits 311 Armor = 12 hits 351 Armor = 13 hits 381 Armor = 16 hits 501 Armor = 18 hits Two things to notice. 1) 381 is soft cap. Before that you need around 20 to 40 more Armor to take one more hit but 381 allows you to take three more hits making the Amor per Hit ratio 10! 2) You need 120 more armor to jump from 281 to 501 but it allows you to survive 2 hits but that is 60 Armor per Hit ratio or as I call it Soft Cap. Your argument is that you need way too much Defense to take half the damage while in reality you only need around 20 to 40 more armor to survive one more hit. Don't think Armor as "how much dmg you will take" Instead think Armor as "how much more do I need to soak one more hit?" Is this already old news to you or did you learn something new? Also I may be wrong <3 and this was just looking the 4:00 example you showed yourself. I my self learned this today while watching this video with previous knowledge about eHP (Effective Healt Pool) which is its own topic. Edit: Your Excel spread sheets needs additional box "hits you can take"

Dude thank you so much for this easy to understand guide! The background video you were showing made me want to try out ranged weapons.

I'm your 666 sub 😂

Here little tip. Always use examples to justify what you mean. Its very hard for some people, like me, to understand what you're talking about if you're just gonna be a human wiki. Give examples and it clarifies everything you state

Any gods isle builds for MHG haven't found any vids one for regular generations.

This video is great! I too see my fair share of people who come from World and Rise without understanding how armor skills work pre-5th gen...even with HRs as high as 200. Though it's pretty easy to explain: "If you do not have at least 10 points in an armor skill, the skill does not activate." Conversely, I see some players who overload on a skill. One guy I saw had a set with 31 points in the Defense skill. Perhaps they misinterpreted those skills as just buffs to their stats. That said, changing it to the 5th gen system was probably the most logical way to make the game more accessible.

Thank you for having a clear, concise guide with no filler, memes or other trash diluting your information. If we could get information on part breaks, severs and elemental resistances/weaknesses. You did mention the horn and how that affects its cloak, I appreciate that. That little bit extra would be awesome.

I think Meowster has been overdosing on Psychoserum...

I know it looks like the old people mafia but it was tough finding photos of these people from 20 years ago lol

Thank you, I always hated how whenever I tried to find how to calculate my damage Google always gave me sites that just do it for me and not explain it, before becoming a hunter I played warframe alot so I always liked to know how exactly my damage was calculated as I enjoyed making my own sets, or in warframes case modding my own wepons, much more than just coping a set from someone else.

Great video, very helpful. Thank you from a fairly new GU player!

Thanks man

Thank you for your content! I love watching monsters' guides! It helps a lot to watch them with a cool head instead of the heat of the battle!

Great channel, just discovered it!

When calculating the damage on training dummy it helps to show the crit rate in the damage formula so instead of a low/high damage people can know the average damage and decide if Crit boost will raise your dps more than crit rate. So at 3:05 your weapon's dps if you only use attacks with 10 motion value would be calculated as 125raw * (1 + 0.4crit damage * (20crit rate/100possible crit rate)) * 1.05 sharpness * 0.1MotionValue * 0.6HitzoneValue. So it looks to be 125 * (1 + (0.4 * 0.2)) * 1.05 * 0.1 * 0.6= 8.5 DPS. Just wanted to show this so people don't get confused and assume the dps is the average between the non crit and the crit which would be 9.5.

Very nice video! Played rise on pc for 50 hours now and was wondering if committing on full elemental is worth it, sadly not much. I play bow but still have one question. The elemental damage is also based on sharpness, but bow doesn't have sharpness. Does this mean the sharpness modifier is 1?

Aw man, this was really helpful but it looks like the channel might be dead. I hope Sunbreak might cause more videos to get made. I tend to have a hard time noticing attack telegraphs so being able to see them when a monster _isn't_ trying to eat my face is super-helpful.

the elemental section really stuck out to me, it reminded me of mh4u: where the gore magala armors of all ranks had negative fire resistance as a skill (the worst element imho to be weak to) and it really showed that if you didn't take care of your resistances, it really didn't matter how high your defense was at that point.

I am done with this game

with lbg i can kill this monster so easily but i was practicing ls i masterd the weapon but cant fight this monster with it i can counter every monster attack in the game but i feel like this purple ass is so hard to predict i cant do shit with melee weapons against this monster

There are few things i might add: - the fast Body Slam is always a double Body Slams, the slow one is always a solo slam - after Body Slam Chameleos turns invincible but lying down for a second or two (aim for the tail) - the Poison Cloud Ring attacks always done while Invincibility turned off and Chameleos do a small 'tippy toes' before jumping mid air - if you saw Chameleos get into a calm steady positioned, it means it'll used it's tounge attacks, move to the side - Tail Slams have vertical hitbox as well - Chameleos will break all lock on (L1 lock on) everytime it goes invincible. Get used to it, or break it's horn - breaking it's horn may not removed invincibility completely, but at least you can see it's silhouette a lot clearer and you can lock down on it using L1 Note: this all came from my experience from few fights i have with it, have fun farming this silly purple doggo

Isn't the starting animation for both the flying slam and in place body slam the same?

Thank you !

i wondered why different weapon types have the same damage. like hammer 100 base and lance 100 base.

I just want to know if I do overall less damage if it has an elemental resistance or not

Generations of monster hunters, capable of falling from extreme heights without taking damage, being able to withstand claws, bites, tail swipes, and body charges from massive apex predators...only to get knocked out of soaring wyvern blade from a monsters reeeeee. Rise is my first monster hunter game and that's the only thing I can't stand about it.

Love

aren't earplugs obtainable?

No rushing you back or anything but I hope you are doing well and that maybe one day I'll see more of your videos.

Got Rise on PC recently and Mizu felt like a huge difficulty spike compared to how easy the rest of low and high rank was. I was looking for a video to just show me some tips and different tells and this was perfect. Thanks!

Finally found a video to beat that 1 Star Village Urgent. I’ve been struggling for some time

I just tank roars with invincible gambit😂 coz i give up on dodging it. It doesn't hurt me much so i decided why not dish out some damage instead😂

Extremely helpful. Thank you.

Yooo what's the name of this song? Wanna learn it 😊

Excellent video! Disappointed with the reduced i-frames, but not surprised, considering they introduced the wirebug evasion and counter moves :S

Nice video and to the point. Thanks

Amazing tests, just a quick question, why is that % in the charts a negative?

Before I watch the rest of this video, I would just like to state, that my current displayed defensive value is 69.

Nice

Got his ass with rajang swax 💪

I love this community. 450+ likes and no dislikes. Not even accidental ones. 0.

How can u tell if it getting close to dying

How bout defender ticket 6 I need it to upgrade my Hand-me-down sword :(

I found out that some effective 0.5 damage numbers are rounded up and some are rounded down. Like a 136.5 raw damage was rounded down to 136 while a 115.5 raw damage was rounded up to 116. 31.5 was rounded down to 31 the same as 73.5 down to 73, while some elemental damages like 10.5 or 4.5 were rounded up to 11 and 5. Do you know the mechanics there? Its just the 0.5 that seems to be absolut random xD the damage numbers i calculated absolut correct and those testings all ended with exact 0.5 not more not less

The elemental damage equation is so beautiful! Thanks for tips about 0.67 elemental MV

Very informative, thank you!

Thanks for the video man, it definitely deserves more views
