MH Rise | Solo Rathalos (Sword and Shield | SnS) - 3'22''18

[@Sc0rpionl0rd]

1:18 The fact that launching a Rathalos casually hits the Remobra for 4 dmg makes me giggle.

[@Dr_Philliam]

Well it's % hp damage lmao but yeah it looks hilarious

[@matthewfera2954]

Whoa, using that barrel bomb to get a shoryugeki off was awesome. Gonna have to try that.

[@w4rpiglet]

he actually hates it cause it's too broken lul

[@Dr_Philliam]

@@w4rpiglet I don't hate it, I hate spamming it. Using it once is fine.

[@fruntastic4257]

Me at 2:22 : Come the f*** down he is trying to beat a record! Anyway, great run as always!

[@Dr_Philliam]

Thanks man!

[@fruntastic4257]

@@Dr_Philliam For sure!

[@danithebirb884]

every day i learn something new about the SnS in this game, and that bomb + shoryugeki combo tho? definitely gonna learn to use that more, ESPECIALLY upon wake-ups, because holy shit that looks like so much fun to use

[@Dr_Philliam]

On wake ups it isn't that effective because the first hit that'll land is most likely the slash that activates the bomb in the first place.

[@aranhasherlockholmes974]

​@@Dr_Philliamwhat would you recommend for wake ups? Just metsu the monster?

[@jedpc807]

Great run man!

[@hirotakanifuji7266]

awesome shield run

[@camerondavis800]

That was the nastiest opening ive ever seen

[@Dr_Philliam]

Thank you my man!

[@gionxgaming9792]

Just amazing 😁

[@Dr_Philliam]

merci beacoup!

[@LesterRobinBPe]

Can you explain why you keep using tranq bomb and how did that 1 silkbind skill captured rath instead of another tranq bomb? This is so amazing

[@Dr_Philliam]

Tranq bombs don't immediately wear off after throwing them. It was pure luck that my shoryuken put Rathalos in capture range! The second tranq bomb loses its effect roughly after 10-20 seconds

[@Repparansho]

So with perfect rush, its better to use scaling slash instead of spinning reaper for optimal dps?

[@Dr_Philliam]

It depends on the monster. Rathalos only allows 2 PRs with spinning reaper, which is why scaling is better. If you can fit in 3 spinning reapers into a KO, that's better

[@Repparansho]

@@Dr_Philliam good to know, thanks!

[@ssj4rajang805]

What armor or layered is that?

[@StygianKarma]

so SnS is a better KO weapon than Hammer too now. Dope run, the bomb tech is really interesting. Unfortunately you're a bad player because you capped. /s

[@Dr_Philliam]

Yup, the essence of MH.

[@Rorosan1022]

Nice run ! With WEX 3 and CB 3, Critical Eye isn't better than Attack Boost ? Or Naga weapon doesnt need Critical because she already 30% affinity ? I know Attack Boost > Critical Eye in Rise but with WEX 3 and CB 3 seems CE > AB .. Thanks for uploading ! And yeah your stream today was insane :D

[@Dr_Philliam]

Attack boost is simply better :) not a very big difference though, if you want to be more consistent, go with crit eye 4. Thanks for hanging out on the stream!

[@mohsinburhanudin]

If you bring a fighter palico, it can use its first skill to give you 30% more affinity + earplug

[@ensanesane]

Glad it's not just me that misses 70% of my perfect rush hits. I swear the hitbox was nerfed from world along with the motion values

[@romainakinlami1193]

Sad liked sns in world a lot Meanwhile ls just gets buffed even more hahaha

[@Dr_Philliam]

Well it is what it is, I don't mind that much. It's still not as bad as old gen sns hitbox.

[@romainakinlami1193]

@@Dr_Philliam its still one of my favorite weapons in rise Just feels like a completly different playstyle Great run btw

[@Dr_Philliam]

Thanks!

[@AkkiLad]

Other than Shoryugeki for solo, which switch skills do you prefer?

[@Dr_Philliam]

Shield Bash combo and Advancing slash :)

[@PetalousPanoply]

I was maining Lance until I started watching your runs... What have you done

[@Dr_Philliam]

That's the spirit!

[@babayaga4320]

What switch skills where you using?

[@Dr_Philliam]

Hard basher combo, metsu Geki and advancing slash :)

[@TryDat7]

Is the SnS Meta ruled by Narga, Diablos and Jaggia blades? I mean for example the Magnamalo one seems good too but no one use it

[@Dr_Philliam]

It's Narga and Diablos for now. The Jaggi SnS in theory is amazing, but is currently lacking the skills to be useful. Once our sets aren't as stingy wth skills, the Jaggi SnS will likely take over in the raw department. Diablos is very good if you want to go for Raw and Drill Slash, Narga whenever you can keep your sharpness up.

[@hanabadah5037]

Is that bomb shoryu setup similar to Monster Hunter world’s bomb setup?

[@Dr_Philliam]

Not really, since you have to proc your own counter and not just use bombs to deal damage. It also works with small barrel bombs, but to do that, you have to have godlike skills.

[@rayannsantosdiaz1924]

Great run whats your talisman??

[@Dr_Philliam]

In this video, Wirebug Whisp 3 and a lvl 3 slot :)

Any tips for getting the timing down for the shoryugeki? I keep feeling like I block but then I get hit anyways. And with the bomb too

[@Dr_Philliam]

Which slash are you using? X or A?

[@zackmhuntr25]

Try practicing at the training room

[@umbertolizzi]

Can you share your complete build? Talisman e Jewels. Thanks

[@Dr_Philliam]

The build is shown in the end :) Jewels are pretty self explanatory. Lvl 2 decos attack boost and lvl 1 whatever fancies you most.

[@oliversianturi1818]

is wirebug whisperer a good skill to use? in terms of actually making big impact

[@zackmhuntr25]

It's great especially metsu shoryugeki charges the wirebug for ages.

[@kattoo9470]

how'd you do that face opening attack? that's brutal.

[@Dr_Philliam]

It's the metsu Shoryugeki and it's shown in my sns guide :)

[@crabsmaster1561]

How can I know if the video is a kill or a capture before clicking on it?

[@Dr_Philliam]

If it's TA rules, included in the title, it's not a capture. TA rules is very much about restricting yourself. If there's no indicator of TA rules in the title or thumbnail, it's most likely a capture.

[@HonestGhost21]

I have much left to learn...

[@Dr_Philliam]

Nothing wrong with learning!

Sorry last question, I noticed that after the shield bash combo and doing that spinning slash move, my character automatically jumps back which I have no control of. Any tips about it?

Is stamina thief not that good anymore?

I slotted it in because I couldn't find anything better. In this run I could have slotted in bombardier but since I've done it on stream I forgot to put it on.
