Best Power & Fire Monstie Build - Highest Damage - Nuclear Brachydios - Monster Hunter Stories 2!

[@defurnesellier1984]

For those who want to see the build on paper: 1|2|3 4|5|6 7|8|9 1 : Savage Fireball (Rathalos) 2 : Super Nova (Teostra) 3 : Bombardier XL 4 : Self Heal ( from Elder dragons) 5 : Fiery Aura (Brachydios) 6 : Fire Boost XL 7 : Valiant Flare (Pink Rathian) 8 : Salt in the Wound XL 9 : Flame Burst (Azure Rathalos)

[@defurnesellier1984]

Remember that Rathalos,Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian can all be found and retreated in the Elder's Lair,on the first floor,there are 2-3 Rathalos and Pink Rathian + Azure Rathalos are in the same area

I just noticed. The bingo could have one more to it. Form an X with the power moves and than place the 2 red genes on the middle top/bottom or the middle left/right for one more bingo.

@@danielz6177 true but still it would have to be a gene so people could put it on other monsters

[@RoyalUltimax]

I decided to start building this on my own Brachydios since I’m mainly using one and I almost actually had all the genes sitting around in other monsters. I did personally substitute Self-Heal for Divine Protection and Flame Burst for the Burning Fang from Anjanath, but it all still works really well, definitely going to be following more guides like this in the future!

[@38FerreroX]

3:12 you can have 1 more fire bingo with an "H" formation. Non elem bottom mid and top mid

Would love to see a Bazel build similar to this that either focuses heavily on fire or speed/technical attacks, or both.

[@Cap_The_Captain]

I would like to see your take on a Fulger Anjanath build!

[@KleverKilvanya]

I'll be honest man, you have pretty much been solely responsible for me buying and playing all of my Monster Hunter games, including retrying the playstation one from years ago that I gave up on. So cheers man for getting me to try out a series I had written off 12 years before and leading to me discovering that it is actually fun! Though I do still blame you for the 1200 hours I have sunk into the various titles now and the inevitable 100 to 200 I will most likely get from Stories 2.

[@sentinel9752]

So you're telling me that i can just use this on my Glavenus?

[@atroqui9nine259]

can't wait to see how this build changes once hellblade glavenus arrives

[@dienoman1435]

Theres one change i would recommend is to replace flame burst with detonate, which is a gene from uragaan Its cheap, and it causes the blast to go off which is super useful

[@IronKingify]

Does the blast do less damage if detonated early?

[@TrueHavoc13]

One tweak for pvp players. Change salt in the wound to any technical fire active of your choice. Without it you miss out on coverage and the 2 additional fire bingos you get from it can help make up for the salt in the wound loss.

[@lucasmaxvargassilveira853]

Preferably Blazeball since it has a high chance to burn or ignition breath to trigger the blast blight.

[@Animedingo]

I'd really like to see a PVP build, that explicately is designed to get off his amazing Kinship attack Make the opponent watch it

[@k1ll3rcombo25]

if you give him pump up from devil Jho im pretty sure he will actually become raging Brachydios. i added it to mizutsune and got the glowing effect on them that i believe would make brachydios into raging on top of adding his own blast blight skill.

[@alexesterly3448]

I’d love to see an ice build next, preferably power bc I want to use it on Gammoth but I figure you’ll want to do it on Velkana

[@sephirian688]

Gammoth is an absolute UNIT but that's about all she has going. Still stronger than a good few ice monsties but I would wait for elderfrost to come out before starting to build one, which I would honestly say about any of the four, with their stronger deviant counterparts just around the corner it's better to just wait. That being said you could just translate this build straight to ice and just not have valiant flare (I'm not sure if their is an ice equivalent but I haven't seen one). Slot in something a little more universal. Drop the salt in the wound for (I would say) inflict rate up since ice is generally going to have skillseal which has a naturally lower inflict rate.

[@alexesterly3448]

@@sephirian688 yeah I will definitely be slotting in elderfrost instead when she arrives and I totally agree. But with two months still till that happens I figured I’d work on a regular Gammoth build for now. I like your suggestion, that’s what I was kinda thinking already. Thanks!

I would like to see you do something for Ratha, or can this build apply to him as well?

[@Kroododile553]

I’m certainly gonna try

[@flatulent_d9374]

You can copy 'n paste this to Ratha if you'd like. However since there is no other way to get the Kinship Heal Gene that Ratha has exclusively you'd either have to keep the gene and sacrifice something else in the build or just flat out copy and not bother with it. Note that Ratha's Fire Breath gene cannot be removed, only upgraded.

[@THE_Mirage]

[@tobiasx14]

Lets see an Astalos build!! I just want to see someone elses ideas for this glorious beast

[@MrToxic750]

Can you please show the page with all the skills at some point

[@medicinalabrams]

Hey, am I misinterpreting something or can you reposition your genes to have the 2 non-elemental genes on opposite sides of the center gene in order to get 1 more fire element bingo?

[@Ghostra-jz9vs]

While repositioning is not impossible, it is difficult as you have to completely replace the Genes involved in the swap. In regards to the second part for getting the extra fire bingo, it isn't worth much, as it sacrifices the power bingo it already has, which, though you might be thinking is equal damage on power attacks, is actually a damage drop as 1.3(original fire bonus) x 1.2(original power bonus)> 1.35(your suggested fire bonus) x 1.1(your suggested power bonus). Apologies for mathing out for a moment, but, you asked.

[@medicinalabrams]

@@Ghostra-jz9vs I do understand that it’s a huge effort to move around genes, but you can still keep the 2 power bingos and get 5 fire bingos with a capital i shape, you would just have to have one of the two power bingos go diagonally.

[@justwantawholename]

I think you're absolutely right. I believe that's why people normally go for the capital i/hourglass shape in the first place. As far as I know, genes don't get locked to a specific spot either

[@wallisa]

I think replacing the tip right move with detonator from uragaan, being able to cheaply detonate on queue

[@Scarletthespud]

I think you could get an extra bingo if you moved a fire gene to the second row

[@jacobniemann4756]

I'm going to build Sil Sol or dreadking like this when they're added lol.

[@BlackBeltGamers88]

Which one is stronger? The Rajang non ele buff or the Deviljho Pump Up?

[@flatulent_d9374]

Paradise Central did a video on this. Rajang's buff is roughly around 50%(maxed out) buff however the Pump Up skill is around 70%(maxed out). The trade off between the two is Rajang's buff only lasts two turns but is a cheap 10 kinship to cast. Pump Up lowers your overall defense by a moderate amount and costs 24 kinship to use but also lasts five turns.

[@flatulent_d9374]

Depends on the style of build you wanna go with. You can use a hybrid to crank up fire skills while igniting and setting off blast or going either pure fire or go bomberman ultra. I'd recommend looking up Paradise Central and TwoSixNine's videos on builds for Teostra as reference for blast setups. Their builds are PvP based but it's not hard to tweak them for PvE too.

[@GavinLIVE715]

I’ll probably save this build for Dreadking, he’s the monstie I’m most excited for as far as fire and blast goes. Burn down the world in ways that Razewing refuses too. Probably the update I’m most excited about. I’m still ultra upset I can’t make my water Gammoth yet. I really hope that they fix the element system to change monstie appearances and primary elements. I imagine it’s on the agenda since it overrides a feature in the game universe.

[@flatulent_d9374]

Not to burst your bubble but Capcom will be patching out the primary elemental/elemental switching because in a recent interview they dubbed it a "bug" even though they showed it off as a feature.

[@GavinLIVE715]

@@flatulent_d9374 that’s so unlike them. I mean it was their feature in the first game lol. Probably one of the most unique things about stories that they have and now they deem it a bug?

[@flatulent_d9374]

I was surprised they called it a bug at all. If Capcom admitted it was an unfinished feature they couldn't get off the ground and wanted it out of the game then I'd be ok with that decision. But the fact the interviewee at Capcom said it was a bug that'll be patched out is bullcrap. I wanted to create my Voljang from Frontier series and Enma Rajang from the mobile game dammit :'(...
