First encounter with Crimson Glow Valstrax (Switch Axe solo) | Monster Hunter Rise

First impression of this Valstrax are good, it hits surprisingly hard and is pretty challenging but fair. Its moves are telegraphed and can be iframed, this one's going to be fun to learn.

I guess if you don't wirefall the right direction but so far I've consistently wirefalled away from the second hit. Wirefall makes a lot of the fights in this game easier.

[@retrocatwarrior5950]

Again everytime these videos come out it put my mindset into a better place, I often find myself getting discouraged when I faint once or twice during a hunt, I'm like "I'll never be good at this game", but videos like this remind me that we are all struggling, like in fighting games when you watch a pro player struggle in a combo trial your like "oh so they struggle too" it just make me feel better about my failures and I can focus more on fixing them

[@blackmoon7668]

Struggle on brother.

[@tearzofthefallen6586]

Valstrax is such a cool fight. The stuff they added to him was stuff I didnt expect. I thought they'd make him do a lot of stuff to disorient the player and jump around them. Instead they just made using the wirebug for movement very dangerous, which I really like. Wirefall on instinct, cart. Wirefall after one hit, cart. Think about wirefalling, cart. My type of restraint lol.

[@tearzofthefallen6586]

@Nathan Dunne I think overall wirefalling isnt dangerous. Especially since you can even just wait a little before wirefalling as long as the recovery animation hasnt started. But for these online players I usually run into? I've seen people wirefall into Zinogre bodyslams, Rajang beams, Mizutsune streams, and, my favorite, Teostra Supernovae. I like when moves punish wirefall, and I dont think its very dangerous unless you dont know the monster. My favorite part of the new monster period is watching people cart on my team to big obvious attacks. Not their fault, likely first timers. But enjoyable nonetheless. I think Valstrax will provide a lot of those for the first week or so.

[@yourhumbledissenter]

I love how when valstrax travels to a new zone, he travels there exceptionally quickly. He can travel at mach 1, after all.

[@kurtislachance9958]

Really puts into perspective how fast it is

[@tmck4138]

Really? That’s faster than supersonic speeds. I wonder if there’s any lore about this monster

[@yourhumbledissenter]

@@tmck4138 there is. What valstrax does is intake oxegen from the air into it chest (you can actually see it do this in the fight) and combine it with dragon element to create propulsion. In other words, valstrax is quite literally a living jet engine.

Several of Valstrax's attacks flat out one shot me, so I switched off my bow and to my hunting horn for similar results. This fight is fantastic.

@Elliepopcorn Been playing GU again and this is false. He was a snail in GU compared to this.

[@radicool21]

@@thebuddah1253 Nah I went back to check and GU Valstrax is still definitely faster. The wind-up and cooldown time on Rise Valstrax's moves are significantly higher (2:39, 4:29), which is fine because this is high rank not G-rank.

[@kurtislachance9958]

Seeing the "Crimson Glow Valstrax: Ambush" appear when it did it's dive bomb terrified me when I first saw it

[@riemaennchen]

I wish you would get carted to nearest sub-camp and not always back to base camp. Its only a few button presses to get there but I would still rather not having to fast travel manually when I cart.

Same

I legit don't understand why they didn't just put the normal one in the game and instead they made this. It's literally the same fight, but worse, wind pressure that knocks you back and can get you comboed when it's charging up it's steam, 360° spin actually hits you instead of phasing through you depending on which 360° spin it is, flying charge just looks weird AF with how it just hovers there before changing directions and being a pain to dodge, and, to top it all off, residual explosive dust particles after a lot of it's attacks, SO much fun! /s Seriously, normal one would have been way better, no need to even change any of it's moveset or give it new stuff, it was created for a game that had Hunter Arts and tons of movement options, so it already fit in Rise as well!
