[MHGU] Lagiacrus - Valor Switch Axe (TA Rules) - 05'54"80

And now for something completely different. Getting the hang of Valor SA after being inspired by Caolan Berg's runs (even if he used Striker SA rather than Valor...). You should check out his channel, probably: / @caolanberg3837

Cool run! I’ve been playing valor gs, but just made a switch axe last night and it’s such a blast to play.

[@Griffted]

OH MY OH MY OH MY OH MY

[@caolanberg3837]

Damn Deaga you’re too nice, I’m not even that good! Also wtf you said 1 day ago that you were gonna learn this weapon and a run already!? Should we be expecting speedruns every day now?

[@Deaga]

Probably not, I'm still pretty burned out. And I just got Witcher 3 on my PS4 last week (yeah pretty late to that party) sooooo... But I was travelling during the weekend, so I used that time to compusively train Valor SA a bit. :p

[@caolanberg3837]

Deaga Haha nice. I don’t get to binge play, my kids would never allow it 🤣, so I will settle for being average at this game 😛. Witcher is nice, enjoy!! I just got Dark Souls 2 which is a year older than that I think! Wanna eventually do some speedruns for it, about 5 years late to that one lol!

[@ojackjl]

cara, bem massa, vou começar a usar mais o S.A. antes eu nao me assegurava na missão, mas agr eu vou jogar até aprender timing etc, pra n cagar nas missão XD

[@Bugan24]

Great run! This is obviously g-rank quest but you should specify it in the title (which star etc)

[@Deaga]

I see people do that, but I typically skip doing so because the video title gets so long :( You can see it's the G3 quest in any case with the quest info at the end

[@UFOToaster]

When i thought the village Lagi was bad, this thing looks like a nightmare. So many attacks, it can easily punish...great run anyway

[@Vaas109]

Was able to beat village lagi with a half empty item load out ran out of mega pots and adept longsword just watch what he does at first then fight for real

[@ejinathan]

Im a striker SA player but valor is the better option i think. You getting the hang of it!

[@Deaga]

Striker or Alchemy are optimal for speedrunning afaik But Valor is pretty cool! I actually find the morphs to be most fun, I tried this quest a lot running Absolute Readiness + more offensive skills (can skip Sharpness+2 with it), but Demon Riot explosion spam just turned out to be better for Lagi. It doesn't look to hot for Hypers/EX Deviants though, if the monster doesnt stagger, spamming bursts is suicide.

[@ejinathan]

@@Deaga ye those explosions are suicide foh real. Against zinogre someone had sub 4 on zinogre with valor. I dunno about striker but i cant do it that fast at all.

[@Deaga]

Zinogre is pretty much the ideal target for this strat, as the hind legs are s weakspot and you can easily trip it bursts, leading to more bursts. Herny has a great run doing just that.

[@ejinathan]

@@Deaga ye i was talking about him ^^.

[@123123s3]

so guessing valor switch axe is all about those double slashes into discharge huh.

[@XonixDerps]

I was wondering any combo you recommend for Valor SA? o: If ya remember

[@Deaga]

Just try to get double slashes in as much as often. You can do them from sidesteps, valor sheathe or as a morph

[@XonixDerps]

@@Deaga Ah okay thank you! ( Now to remember which was the double slash xD was that when you press x and the blade coems overhead (sword mode) Also if a monster is downed/paused should I just start exploding like you did? o:

[@no1here27]

Is mantis the best overall sa?

[@Deaga]

Mantis and Elderfrost yeah

[@alex41250]

1:59 start

[@manikaditha6308]

Cancer monster, cant imagine fighting it without valor or adept style, its just pure cancer. Nice run, must have been rough
