When you've played MH sooooo long that you reflexively sheathe your weapon to sharpen so you take a long time to realize you can sharpen with your weapon out.

When he said every weapon, I thought wait wut?? And yes if its particularly hectic I prefer to be on my dog now. I also like to do the running jump opening off the dog

[@JoyTuub]

Ya, this has been the case since world. You can select the whetstone on your quick select (Radial) menu by pressing LB (default). This will automatically make your character kneel and start to sharpen. This saves so much time! It took me a long time to finally accept and learn to just use the radial menu. Once you embrace it and are mindful about making and saving your loadout, you will feel the huge difference. I have personally been far more inclined to use the right tools at the right time, rather than being lazy and not sheathing my weapon. Give it a solid try for a couple weeks and see if you feel the same.

I love that all of the Feral demon mode animations are taken from Wolf's Maw in Generations

[@midnightmacabre5981]

A lot of the switch skills are based off of Generations, actually! Another notable example, Melody Mode: Performance is Invigoration (complete with old, free i-frames, woo), and Compressed Finishing Discharge for Switch Axe being the last hit of Trance Slash! ...Also, Metsu Shoryugeki for SnS is just a buffed version of Shoryugeki with optional Shroyugeki III follow-up, obviously. And Silkbind Sakura Slash is just a free version of, well, Sakura Slash III, but with a super long cooldown. It makes me happy to see a lot of my favorite old hunter arts be turned into normal moves!

You can also dodge forward after doing feral mode to get better positioning then go into the blade dance. Took me a while to get used to doing the piercing bind moves but you start getting used to it the more you play.

Honestly speed sharpening 3 is so fast that a lot of the time I'll just sharpen in front of the monster as long as they aren't in the middle of a move that's about to hit me and I can usually get away with it. Or I'll sharpen when they're asleep or stuck in place for a wyvern ride. In those situations sharpening with the weapon out is pretty useful

Yeah, the translation for effects is super scuffed. Ibushi Soul and Narwa Soul are wrong about how to activate them and what their effects are. Dragon Exploit only works on Wyverns, not Dragons. At least one armor piece has the wrong name. Dango Bombardier is wrong about what attacks it buffs.

Bruh since I've been playing this game it's been so hype

[@C_Kiri]

On god, the decoration balance in this game is fucking absurd. Like, Hellfire Cloak is a really niche ability that you *need* to have at least at level 3 to be able to force one knockdown on a monster per hunt, maybe two if it goes on super long, it does like 60 damage and requires you to either be using a weapon that has a silkbind that counts to remove it, or you have to sheathe and ZL+A. THAT one's a triple-slot decoration Critical Boost and Weakness Exploit though? The two most powerful skills in the whole-ass game? Yeah those are double-slots. Capcom's out of their goddamned minds.

[@omegawario7479]

My favorite thing to do with feral is even the activation in mid-air is an attack and it's much faster to do and safer and it feels great

[@asashisenpai911]

Here's an advanced technique you can use to reposition yourself after activating your silkbind attack: MHRise's mechanics changed a bit so it lets you change a 180 degrees dicrection literally frameless. This counts for several moves for any weapon, even for activating feral demon mode and demon flurry rush. Try it out: Press ZL+X for your silkbind move and wait for the animation to run out. Dodge towards the direction of the monsters weak point (head), which lets you position near its head. Quickly flick the left stick to the opposite direction and press X+A. Voila. As I said, this counts for several moves for any weapon, but since Ive only played Dual Blades now, youve gotta experiment for yourselves. Hope I could help

[@kodyfulton7641]

Psa you can also wire dash into the feral mode to make it quicker and when you do the regular dodge in feral mode it uses less stamina than the demon mode dash.

[@Trlll]

I am so sorry you didn’t know about the sharpness radial trick. The only thing with dual blades is your stamina doesn’t stop depleting when you sharpen, your stamina doesn’t start regenerating until the animation is done AND the pause before it starts, activates. Gotta watch out for that

[@DERyuga]

Wow, I cant believe this! Thanks for pointing this out, I knew I felt a lot stronger in this game but now I know why that is. I'm also happy to hear that I'm not the only one who does the silk pierce bind into the feral demon activator. A friend also showed me you can stack the silk binds, which can get your damage to crazy numbers (requires a monster on the ground though). With Bubble Dash and Resuscitate active I managed to get my attack up to 268 and with gems I got 41 on my elements- Im planning on gemming in critical element with my remaining slots, would that be better or worse than crit boost?

Hey gaijin hunter. Huge fan and loved the video as always. I just wanted to share something i found out with feral demon other than the atk boost. I don't know if its a bug or intentional but in feral demon mode your stamina consumption is cut. Its like a free constitution skill. Speaking of the skill, yes it stacks.

[@emblemblade9245]

I can confirm I noticed this too! Though I’m not sure if it’s the natural stamina loss that’s reduced, or the stamina loss when dashing, but either way it definitely uses less!

[@tho_tho]

Gaijin, don't know if you've realized it yet, but for those DBs specifically you can just use Master's Touch now that it was added to the game, so you don't need Protective Polish and Speed Sharpen, because you MT now might be 80% activation rate, but you can use the 3 lv2 decos you use for Protective Polish for Razor Sharp instead and just attack all day long! DBs lose 1 sharpness every 3rd hit, that means that every 3 hits you have a 10% chance to lose 1 sharpness, which is kinda crazy if you get lucky with RNG, plus frees up lv1 slots for other useful stuff like more Attack Boost!

[@kaiserlos2441]

i only stumbled about the ability to sharpen my weapon when unsheathed myself just the other day. i never got that deep into MHW, and was so used to play "old style" that I instinctively put away my weapon first every single time.

Demon mode! Demon mode! Damn I must be a genius Feral demon mode!

3:15 Just be in FDM before you do piercing bind, dash cancel out of the last few frames of the animation, and then start attack during it. Boom, more damage, and you could even do blade dance if the monster is down, or you're confident you'll get the whole thing off. Alternatively, just use the aerial starter, let the spin play out, press X, then then press A.

tbh I found out the sharpening thing on accident when I was speedrunning in World - when you're pushing the limits you find out all kinds of things

[@isegard2957]

also unless you didn't notice but using demon mode or feral demon mode make you unflinchable so I just don't use flinch free decoration at all when I use my dual blades. the only time I would actually get flinch is when the monster is down and everyone rushing to attack it anyway and I always have demon mode on at that moment so you can use that free slot for something else if you want to

Wolfs maw art plus adept dodge make dual blades amazing

[@YojimboJames]

That’s great! Now if only those damn felynes will give me paw print stamps.

Been using this switch skill with Narga set. The Evade window+evade distance would make big difference with feral.

Cat paws and Feral. I've had so much fun with it.

[@laggalot1012]

The way I play Dual Blades, I like entering and exiting Demon Mode quite frequently, so I think I prefer the speed and flexibility of the regular Demon Mode. And personally I find just pressing A once after piercing bind gets me in position just fine. Still good to know about the Switch Skill, though.

I feel like a caveman using DB. Such simple gameplay compared to the other weapons, BUT ITS SO GOOOD

[@Daria-Morgendorffer]

Sharpening with your weapon out just blew my mind, you'd think I'd try it at least once in 150 hours....
