Play as a Healer in Monster Hunter Rise

Thanks for Watching!! And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!! And many thanks to Vasko Games for helping me get uhhh prime footage for this video and being such a good sport about everything haha Make sure you go check out his channel too!! (kzbin.infofeatured)

[@TundraStalax]

I had a bad experience being a Healer in Rise, not that I've stopped doing it, some absolute dickhead of a Hunter running Valstrax was telling me to stop healing him like 'oh sorry, I'll turn Wide-Range off mid-quest', I swear some players just don't value staying alive over their precious DPS boost

[@S.I.L.]

As a Valstrax armor user, I don't mind healers. I can just get hit from a weaker attack and then I'm at full power and the team is still alive thanks to the heals.

[@skiffy8121]

im sorrybut my heals are too constant....i feelbad for strax users i end up with in apexes

[@Kajidoh]

I always enjoyed playing the support role for my friends in video games, so I'm really enjoying the Rampage Horn with the Heal skills. Though I get yelled at and or kicked from rooms quite often now that everyone seems to be running Valstrax Armor. So I've made another Rampage Horn with Crit skills so I can effectively support the Valstrax Armor peeps and cringe as they all cart and fail the hunt.

[@MechakittenX]

I wish more people collected birbs before going into the fight. That'd be even MORE of a bonus.

[@___------]

Nah that's boring and a waste of time, and unless you're REALLY bad at the game you don't need to collect any more than the ones you already accidentally collect while on your way to the monster

[@WaluigisBulge]

“No one wants to play the party healer” Counterpoint: can’t get yelled at for being bad if I constantly heal everyone and myself. Also my dying is then on them so I don’t have to be good at video game

[@wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee5896]

but then someone out there uses Valstrax set that needs health to be at 80%

[@dwinters6291]

I hate it when I lose 80 attack because of healing when wearing Valstrax

Srsly ppl need to chill if your just worried about damage just solo it's what I do when I want to thrash a monster 💀. Multi is for fun and people who can't manage and need heals so yeah if your playing multi and get healed don't act all hissy ya scrub.

[@aqwafyy]

Only reading the title I can either see a bow with heal brace or hunting horn

[@JCN4048]

Bow users be like: “Give me some space, HEAL ROUND”

[@navi8801]

I know im way freakin late, but 5th gen monster hunter game has the best ability to play as a "healer". I absolutely love the changes to wide range! Anytime i play HH now, I usually pair it with wide range 5! Since demon/armordrugs also last the entire fight (until a player dies) i love the double buffs from an attack/defense horn. The changes to food buffs also inherently buffed hunting horn in rise, so i feel i contribute a lot more to the fight!

[@DP3com]

I usually use HH with some form of healing melody (Rampage Hunting Horn is AMAZING for this) + Bead of Resonance. Also, unless it's an Apex or elder dragon hunt, I bring 3 life powders along with 5 blue mushrooms & 5 godbugs (only 5 vs 10 as there are times where I have bug and/or mushroom collecting mini quests that I'm doing) to combine on the fly if the randoms I'm playing with aren't the best at healing themselves. I usually add Dust of Life and mats to make em on the fly too for apex and elder dragon hunts.

[@goranarbunic7258]

Just to resume: GOD DAMMIT VASKO JUST DODGE!!!!!

[@VaskoGames]

You can dodge in this game?

[@CaptainAstronaut]

I give up

[@flannelshirtenthusiast4159]

An additional note for Sword and Shield, you can use the radial menu to use items without blocking or sheathing. Unrelated to healing, you can also use throwing knives without sheathing by holding ZL to aim and Y to throw. Hi Spaceman, recent sub love your videos, also mad respect for your bass chops

[@Mekudan]

super late, but you can use any item while holding ZL and pressing Y, not just throwing knives

[@laythalsibai9848]

You could choose to be the healer of the team or… just get a team of competent hunters that can heal themselves

[@catheriner999]

Thanks for this. I didn't even notice that Speed Eating applies to potions as well as food. As a dual blades main I heal basically every time I get hit cause squishy but also every second spent not doing damage is a second wasted. Gotta go fast. I have also been thinking of picking up hunting horn lately and if I'm going to go cleric I might as well go hard on that too.

[@ReikuYin]

Full set of Kushala also keeps you topped up as it heals beyond the red.. it's slow, but can help with potion economy as you can break off a monster and just heal that way.

[@Duppy0906]

people with valstrax armor seeing theyr health go up all the time be like: im done "quits the quest". This has actually happened to me which is mindbogling

[@LoreLunatic]

As someone who has basically equipped this armor as a GS main and never taken it off, I get the frustration. But its not leave the quest worthy.

[@cice7076]

It can be frustrating to have 20% or more of your dps cut :')

[@wolffster25]

Pro tip bring 10 honey, 10 potions, and 10 mega-potions bam you now have 20 mega potions. Also you can you set them to be auto crafted from the radial menu. You can also use the first aid med in the supply crate and use some of your honey to get first aid med+. For even more mega potions be careful though as you won’t get to keep them after a quest.

[@mastadon1154]

[@ianleoncarmona9722]

I Love the Toaster Hunting horn, you get the DPS damage randomly and all of your spells are healing and one buffing to both attack and defense

[@SirBanana1992]

my favorite horn of them all design wise, eternal love for the orphée.

[@JGuy97]

Such a good Horn for keeping people alive.

[@space_charmed3451]

Something that I can't entirely remember but I'm gonna say anyways is with the radial menu and sns, your weapon stays out despite the radial menu usually putting weapons away to use the item selected.

[@Venalii1]

I’d say the teostra horn is your go to for maximum survival, since it also gives healing/antidote and regeneration in addition to defense and attack up for that extra surviviability

[@JTruong3rd]

This is how I usually turn into a healer. My team dropping like flies and refusing to heal so I have to bust out the heal build. With free meal, wide range and sns.

[@tristenj1992]

"Look, no one wants to be the party healer" Me, a healer main in FFXIV: Oh.

[@Buphido]

I have an armour set which is an immortal build (three pieces of Kushala and defence boost) coupled with recovery up and recovery speed up, all accompanied by the narwa hunting horn with health regen L, health regen up and stun resist. It's the ultimate immortal healer set which allows me to get tossed around like a sandbag while keeping my teammates topped up. I used this set on the three apex quest with a friend of mine playing valstrax greatsword and we didn't need a single potion as I always kept him at just the right amount of health for his damage buff but high enough to live attacks and it was one of the most relaxed we ever were in an apex hunt.

[@Jaywill12beast]

More important than to play as a healer or dps is to take the role of a not stupid person and go get some birds.

[@-siranzalot-]

I'd actually like to play as a healer for a change sometimes. Problem is I can only Play with randoms online and as such have no way to strategize with them.

[@thebeardlyowl1700]

Counter arguement is that makes it more thrilling, watching the monster as you also watch your teams health/see them as they stand there stunned or run around without healing at 1/4 health. Makes it far more engaging without having them tell ya what to do. (Then again that's only a pro if you *want* it to be thrilling haha)

[@user-nt4fi7dr4c]

back in MH world IB, the freemeal secret skill gives 75% of proc chance and it actually procs like 95% of the time. While widerange is a lvl1 deco and theres a lvl4 charm for it too. it was pretty common to see a healer hanging around drinking potion non-stop during the entire hunt of a high difficulty monster.It made MH literally became a boss raid like MMORPG games and the mega potion actually never run out. thats probably why they nerfed it to 40%

[@ineedmoneysp]

I’ve never seen people use healing ammo either. Lol I do like that in Rise the bow arc shot now does different stuff. I like that I could heal myself and others with it now or do something else depending on what bow I use. In World the only thing I know that the arc shot did was KO damage

I always wondered why it wasn’t more popular or at least I didn’t see a lot of other cats using it. People used the Hunter horn cat and bomb or firework cat a lot.
