[@AMGC7]

Great display of skill, but ironically enough I found the ZSD part a bit lacking in depth xD As you showed, you can detonate the final explosion earlier, but you can use that for more than just avoiding an incoming attack. If you let go before the last tick you will deal almost the same damage but with a major benefit that will increase the overall dps, since you will fall in place instead of getting sent flying (and with an animation that leaves you vulnerable for a few seconds). This way you can insta morph to recover gauge (mandatory if the bar is purple, since otherwise you will enter the slow switching to axe animation) and start doing any follow ups you want with the axe, the sword or even subsequent ZSDs, which would quickly make up for the small damage loss (*or start dodging if necessary). This becomes even more important when detonating without the long recovery animation means that you can actually punish flinched monsters (in the video you flinch a lot of monsters with the ZSD and you could have done some very fun follow ups from there if you detonated earlier). A (claw) flinched monster means you get a free subsequent ZSD or other combos like those you perform by the end of the video, so it feels bad not to punish those (I hate using mantles because they are unfashionable and temporal-rocksteady provide unfair advantages if the monster can't counter them, so those openings are quite relevant for the legit hunters that dont use cheesy methods). Of course the normal detonation isnt useless, you can actually utilize the recoil to dodge some attacks, especially AoE's that would otherwise get you good if you fell straight down. Also if you know you ain't gonna get anything else, you should also commit to it since it deals slightly more damage (scenarios like a monster running or flying away, or projected shot knockdown punish that ended in ZSD and the monster is going to roar from getting enraged right as you finish it). PD: Recently I got an aerial ZSD on arch-tempered Namielle's tail right as a teammate was wall slamming, which made a very funny interaction where the final explosion got forced and it happened even before the actual ZSD animation started... and it also severed the tail, I'm glad I saved a clip.

[@tendericed2749]

I‘d love to see that clip ^^

[@martinerhard8447]

So instead of using rocksteady you just grapple on to monster parts like namielles tail that the ai pretty much never uses to attack? And then you call mantles cheese? lol Another pro for not ending early is that the majority ~80% of part breaking dmg of a zsd comes from the final explosion. And with a early ended zsd this is nerfed by x 0.7. Had a friend that had trouble breaking fatalis head fast enough because he always ended early.

[@ShatteredGlass916]

[@Frostfang_Piglet]

I used it at first sight because it reminds me of Nero's Red Queen sword from DMC.

[@MrMokey24]

Wow i love your videos! For anyone scrolling through looking for some advanced tips: Always cancel ZSD early by stopping the input prematurely, you can train to get as many little explosions as possible without getting the recovery animation. If you end ZSD in Sword Mode, you've done it correctly. This allows you to get out more ZSD's, and you won't leave yourself open for hits during the lengthy animation after full ZSD.

[@dcshiori]

Thx 4 watching Nya! Don't forget to check my other 10 LEVELS Weapon Series in Iceborne. 🌟🐱

[@martinerhard8447]

Ending early is not always good. It gives the final explosion a x0.7 nerf. Especially when you want to break parts you dont want to end it early because ~80% of part damage of a zsd comes only from the final explosion. Damage wise its also not always worth it. Fox invictus here on yt has a vid on it. You wont get significantly more zsds and on raw switchaxes you overal damage will be lower. This is because the ticks profit more from element while the finisher is mainly just raw based. So only end early if recovery is an issue. But most people do zsd with temporal or rocksteady and have full health after a zsd (due to health augument) so monsters wont be able to cart easily

[@jeremycu4571]

Stunlock I think, it works if you know how a monster's topple works. Keep smashing leg for this one, for teostra and most elder's its keep smashing their head. If your damage is high enough and you are able to keep focusing on the right part, that monster wont stand up anymore. Speed runners can make it do that the for the whole hunt. It will work in casual, just that, its going to look like 1 topple, then it gets up, then it topples again sooner than usual.
