[@ravenuneru9343]

A monster hunter video with a hunter wearing Assasin's creed hood while playing league of legends background music. Talk about Video game diversity

[@kushalasub-tempered6804]

This could possibly go higher... When a monster receives the "defense down attack" from Barnos/Deviljho/Acidic Glavenus you'll see something like a de-buff on it (looks like white smoke coming out from their body). That probably means those attack could also weaken the defense of monsters and at least make a difference. Should be worth a shot IMO.

[@enderan647]

Another set up hell

[@insaneHollow]

Well it could work, but if it doesn’t change the defense number of the monster and instead lowers the hit zone value, it would not work on dodogama. However, if it could lower the hit zone values of any monster... maybe a weaker monster could be tested on? Preferably one that is less resistant to other elements? If not then we will need to wait for the update of this vid using safi, raging bra, or maybe Kulve weapons.
