Monster Hunter World: Attack Buffs & Stacking

[@sendotiago1692]

6:38 If somebody is mounting a MOUNSTER... Gaijin, you are slowly turning into a Palico

[@dammitcarl]

Sendo Tiago Good catch he is saying meownster lol

[@victorsandeen2694]

Oh sweet Jesus, your right.

[@Thyryst]

Hah, it's a slip of the tongue cause he just said Mount and you know how it is saying similar words in succession. He ends up saying Mountster. XD

[@Animaniafreak]

lol that's actually kinda cute

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

0:12 "My 1201 is very respectable and it works just as fine as the bigger ones."

[@Onion_Wolf]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Vauche]

I carry might pills on my wide range support set specifically for when I'm about to knock down an Elder Dragon. Capcom lets you eat the pill while you're falling off, so you can still be doing something when you're otherwise doing nothing. With speed eating, I can apply the might pill before I even hit the ground after a successful mount. It's extremely satisfying knowing you can apply a huge buff like that to a full party that's going in hard on a monster you knocked down.

[@6powersofM]

I didn't know you could do that. I'll have to try that out myself. That speed eating charm from freaking Great Jagras keeps surprising with how good it is.

[@Vauche]

Yeah, for end-game if you haven't gotten the decorations yet the charm is the least painful way to get it maxed out without wearing weaker high rank armor, but it's otherwise only 3 level 1 slot decorations once you have them, and Speed Eating is only a B rank skill, so you can technically start getting them the moment you reach high rank if you're lucky.

[@Ergeniz]

Jho armor has speed eating as a skill as well. Not many people like Jho armor though, though I have a build mixing it and Bazel.

[@azazeldasilva]

Man, as a new player, your videos are so useful!

[@Sleepin-N-Snoozn]

Some people might not know this but at the cultivator, once you unlock the fertilizer called "Soft Soil" it boosts all existing fertilizers by 5. So if you don't like having to return every quest to refertilize your items, you can just just get the four fertilizer buffs active over 4 quests then use the soft soil from that point on. The best part is you'll be able to do 4-5 quests in a row without having to worry about coming back to refertilize.

[@Zejety]

I didn't expect powders to stack with seeds seeing how they have the exact same stats (but in an area). Time to adjust all my loadouts again. >_>

[@nicksbordone5271]

Zejety yeah i always did one or the other. That's such a big difference being able to do both

[@Xenoforge78]

Wow, I had no idea the atack buffs stacked like that. Pawsome.

[@sangheilicommander1056]

I know its late and old but you better stop the cat puns right meow

[@Chrisdish]

@@sangheilicommander1056 don't be a puss about it.

[@VulpineDemon]

Wiggle me this: A certain helmet with some Friendship decorations and this. People underestimate friendship, AKA level 3+ wide-range.

[@jomics]

Foxon Silverfur I’ve got my damage build set in stone. I decided my next route will be to create a friendship support build. Level 5 Wide-Range and other buffs I will hopefully be the hero they need but don’t deserve.

[@ianrocco8453]

Foxon Silverfur People underestimate friendship. Yep that's why most of them play solo and have no friends.

[@linksoldier1]

Keep up the great work. Gaijin been watching your videos from MH4U (maybe even before 0.o)

[@jesseochieng]

Mushroomancer + wide range + speed eating... No one can die(unless they just got 1shot), constant buffs and insane group dps overall.... Your constantly healing whoever so fast and buffing to a point they won't even use a single item to heal or buff themselves and will constantly stay on the offense, while you take items so fast you can get bk Into the fight super fast....such a strong build but people never bother buffing others in parties... All people care about is just those high damage builds. As a veteran for 14 years since day 1 of the series ... I wish players invested time on other different builds other than just damage.... Support builds are very strong and plays a huge part in damage.

[@ihappy1]

I love it when a party member is running a mushroomancer/wide range build, supporting others is the best (I'm usually on hunting horn so that helps too) if there was some sort of commendation system in game wide range builds would deserve it

[@Ra-hu3sg]

Don’t we need to farm the hr100 quest to get the Commissioner set for this build? I will take a look into when I have the time.

[@kiefermcray1649]

Pretty sure you guys are talking about two different quests. They both drop the tickets you need but one requires you to be at least HR100 to join. Guidance of the Sapphire Star is that one, and the other with the Legiana is White Winds of the New World. You just have to do every optional to unlock that one

[@6powersofM]

That's correct. White Winds is unlocked for you once you get RED, not BLUE, 'complete' on all 1-8 star quests ánd you've beaten tempered Kirin. I got it 2 days ago and my HR was only 67 at that point. It sounds like a fun quest too; all 4 apex predators from the 4 main locales, giving you a challenging gauntlet in the arena. They're not tempered though, so the real problem is beating Legiana, Odogaron, Diablos and Rathalos within the 25 minute time limit.

[@djizomdjinn]

5:50 Will your hunt times be disqualified if you use performance-enhancing drugs?

[@austintse5719]

I wish they would give us the option to show the real attack values. I love the charts by the way.

[@victorsandeen2694]

doublerainbowmesh They did.

[@UgyBoogie]

Demon Drug stays active until death? Just wow. Never bothered with it cause I didn't want to keep an eye on the buff and refresh it eventually. Gotta dump it in my main loadout now!

[@MercuryAlphaInc]

Mega Demondrug and Mega Armorskin, the two ingredients to not only deal damage, but tank it as well. Standard loadout for me.

[@SuperJimBobJoe]

Yeah I've never bothered with the seeds or pills because of having to constantly watch the timer on them but I always set up a supply chain of demondrugs and armorskins when I play any MH

[@NightAngelBlaze]

SuperJimBobJoe honestly though, you just use the pills when the monster is down from mounting/trap/paralysis/sleep and you're going for big damage. Use the powder/seeds at the beginning of an engagement. 3 minutes will usually get you to when the monster starts trying to run away.

[@SuperJimBobJoe]

Yeah, honestly I never new seeds, pills and powder stacked with the demondrug. Glad gaijin put this video out

[@S34Mii]

That's what I do. Once I mount a monster and I'm doing the final blows, you can take a might pill WHILE YOU'RE IN THE AIR jumping off the monster to buff attack without wasting time. Pro tip for those who don't know! 😉

[@devyn5041]

Great simple intro! Adds a nice touch. really enjoy the quality of your videos. Keep making ones like this! and build guides too?

[@DJMJ4]

Great video. I get asked about food buffs all the time. Now i can share this video and Spread the word.

[@xizar0rg]

The armor skill "Attack" stacks with all of the buffs. Also, the table works identically with armor buffs.

[@nlswag81]

Gaijin, you're a good guy.

[@creamedcoffee326]

Hah, cactus quest, a total PAIN Cuz it's a cactus! K I'm gone

[@BM03]

I don't want to be that prickly dude and poke fun at you but that joke was needleless.

[@6powersofM]

There always has to be that one stinger at the end

[@d1zturbed221]

Most informative video on this ever. Start to the point 🤙🏾

[@Morgan1Hay]

I love these informative videos. Very helpful for the evergrowing community. Awesome job!

[@jackevans7366]

Remember hunters. Attack isn't everything. Staying alive should be your first priority. Dead = 0 attack

[@AznKekz]

ok

[@pouncebaratheon4178]

I think most hunters benefit more from Defense Up (L) than a 6% damage buff for most tempered and some HR, even just in terms of clear times. A single cart from a OHKO nullifies far, far more average hunt dps than an individual attack buff can provide.

[@PyroBlazi]

On the other hand, Defense Up (L) is pretty useless if you don't get hit. If you see Nergigante's dive bomb coming, just use the Prance gesture.

[@sonicfraisheya4028]

PyroBlazi why?

[@mstrswrd]

The lore of the games even agrees with you here- the reason why all the Hunters seem to be right handed with weapons like the Great Sword, but hold smaller weapons in their left hands and Shields in their right hands, is because by putting the shield on the dominant arm, they're better able to defend, and thus survive, monster attacks. Afterall, it's better to do less damage per hit if it means surviving to do those hits.

[@littlegiantrobo6523]

Thanks! I was hoping this info would be coming out soon.

[@Strawfoot]

Another fantastic video, thanks Gaijin Hunter!

[@JB1Corinthians1558]

As one of the few Hunting Horn mains out there can you do a video talking about the song buffs & show how much the buffs contribute to a hunters stats? I think this would get some much needed awareness on how good hunting horns really are. Much love for the amazing content!

[@ReifinDFanchon]

Helpful as always... Thank you for the guide, GH!

[@MaxYoung-Maxinfet]

I had no idea these stacked since only one icon shows in your buff bar. That is amazing, I am going to have to start checking my stats after taking a buff just so I dont have to wait for the video the explain I am doing it wrong :D.

[@gagers78]

Still waiting for that MH4U switch axe demonstration... I love your videos they have been so useful helping grow as a hunter.

[@reka10]

God been playing this game since 3ds. Never used the items as they seem to fade quickly as i was only using the pill. Thanks for this.

[@jackos5d851]

and then the hh buffs and fortify are % based, so if you want to see those numbers go BIG...

[@decentbucket3284]

Can't wait for a HH, fortify and peak performance/heroics team build to just wipe the floor with monsters.

[@KickenMonsta]

Man I love these vids 300hrs and just now see this haha much love

[@imahaloguy]

Thank you! I requested this! Do stamina skill stacking next, and then element caps!

[@MoonyDrak]

I am 200+ hours into the game and I never thought you could cultivate the same item in multiple slots...

[@SuperJimBobJoe]

Glad to know my tradition of always setting up a supply chain of demondrugs and armorskins wasn't a waste of time! :D

[@villageflippinidiot]

thanks for keeping up the quality content

[@Boosttackle]

It's nice having that massive ass buff, love using it but I'm lazy af so ima chill with my regular damage output :D

[@JayJayXIX]

great video! very informative as always! how about defense items? love to have a table too~ keep up the good works!

[@mackstertube]

This was insanely helpful for me thank you so much. I diff not know some only only 20 seconds.

[@1Strawbs]

Coming back to this with my speed eating 3, free meal 3 and wide range 5 set. So insanely strong, 75% to not consume a might pill. Infinite power for everyone

[@schmakyle649]

Holy crap what a great video, sub for life!

[@benmoore1292]

Thank you for this. I am going to go hit things SO HARD.

[@darkestkn8tgaming480]

I'm HR 25 and I just found out about the buffs o.O I'm such a rookie hahaha. Thanks for this guide!

[@Dakuu75]

Good thing Item prolonger effects the powders now.

[@Undeniable18]

As a first time mh player I feel good about already doing this stuff before anyone mentioned it

[@demiurge3153]

Damn. I used my might pill before I start to hunt. Thanks A LOT I could have wasted a lot of pills

[@chesterfieldthe3rd929]

After playing so many older MH games the online in World is depressing.

[@ianrocco8453]

Chesterfield The 3rd why?

[@ParadoX505]

Ian Rocco before in past mh games, because multiplayer lobbies were kinda limited and seperate from single player, youd have to be more social and talk to people to get a hunt going. Im thinking because everything is online now, with the lobbies all mashed together, people just go out and do stuff by themselves. Ive noticed a huge difference in people getting random 4 man hunts going in that i have yet to see one in world, where before they were everywhere

[@ianrocco8453]

ParadoX505 Well my reply may be a little longer but as someone like you who's been playing from the first I agree things used to be more social in MH. They still are but in a different way. People are used to going solo or just pugging with four randoms (the way I prefer) but it's because they have become more efficient as individuals. However this doesn't mean they are anti social I make more friends randomly pugging than setting up lobbies. Remember you can always talk into the mic and send people guild cards. I always get sent guild cards because if you're doing great and helping people out the best friends are ones you've gone through some shite with and remember a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet. 😉

[@JeffHikari]

Multiplayer in World is more commonly done with randoms via SOS flares where nobody communicates. You can still organize a lobby, but that tends to take more work. Also the game is arguably easier solo since they did that dynamic difficulty thing for all hunts except arena and there's no actual reason to party up except for fun. Since there was a limit to what you could do in the "single player" difficulty, multiplayer was a bit more encouraged in the older titles.

[@chesterfieldthe3rd929]

Yeah I got you. I think the s.o.s. thing is bugging me. Nobody stays ever to be social and hunt together. I miss gathering hubs.

[@netherlord8664]

Hi gaijinhunter, I think they changed Mega Demondrug to +7 true raw for MHW. Your attack went from 1383 to 1420, which is an increase of 37 attack. Taking into consideration the bloat value, 37/5.2 = 7-ish.

[@steveozanshin]

Remember everyone, the same can be said for the defense counterparts. So if you play more defensively, focus on the armor powder and armorskin and such. Definitely worth it. Happy hunting! o7

[@DerGremlin]

wait. isn't demon drug +5 and mega demon drug +7?

[@mtsims49]

DerGremlin yes. small error that I noticed too but I think all the other info is good.

[@Ergeniz]

Dammit, Gajin fucked up. Unsubbing from this scrub. Thanks for the heads up, guys.

[@hectorjaramillo9529]

Bro thx for this video i guess it goes the same for deffense i wanted to know this for a while ur doing the Lord's work god bless

[@lew1smarks1]

Thanks for the awesome video Gaijin Hunter! Does Nitroshroom also stack for mushroomancers? And to what extent?

[@PyroBlazi]

Surge The Paladin nitroshrooms count as demondrugs and stack accordingly.

[@keithadams897]

I'm digging this

[@adamgrotto8163]

Holy crap... My attack without buffs (exept power charm and talon) is 1502 with the hammer. I can't wait to see what I get to with these other buffing items!

[@wetw0rk14180]

After 320+ hours of playing MHW, I can count on one hand the times that I've been given a demon powder buff my a team mate. I don't go anywhere without it and it's so easy to make there's no excuse.

[@CraZCraft]

First tried this on the teo/luna quest and it changed the game for me! I AM THE GOD OF HAMMERS AND STRIKES THAT DEAL 400+ DAMAGE!!!

[@gurren124]

He's not swinging randomly. Each hit is... More than 100% of his power!

[@nevermind0213]

Can you do a video on stun? It seems that they have changed the values quite a bit. Which combo should I use for hunting horn for maximum stun value?

[@Tactavious]

It would be nice if it said in the tool tip which items don't stack, but still, it's considerate that they don't let you burn consumables anymore.

[@seancasey1992]

I freaking love sns wide rage with might pill

[@PrinceVinc]

And don't forget folks a dead hunter deals no damage! All of this applies to the defensive Versions aswell!

[@deiwildcat1884]

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought that Paradise from Arrekz's video said that might seeds and pills do stack? Either misheard or misunderstood, or someone was wrong. I know in past games they didn't stack so it would make sense that they don't in this game. Just thought I'd ask for more clarification. Great video as usual Gaijin :)

[@gaijinhunter]

They don’t as far as I know, but if you pop a seed you can always overwrite it with the stronger tier pill

[@lukewookiee]

I wish we had bigger backpack to bring all those items for a hunt. 1-2 more rows would be welcomed.

[@blueview5212]

you should do a video on what monsters you think they should add to the game later on

[@Hojumuju]

How do the Demon bullets stack from the bow guns?

[@matrinoxtm]

1:01 what he really meant is that the bloat value represents the average damage of each attack, not DPS.

[@MasterLollipop]

That doesn't quite make sense, because my 1500 raw hammer hits for about 300 on average.

[@yoshoverse]

i hope we get a least one more slot to cultivate items in. my three cultivation spots are taken for armor juice ingredients. one more slot would allow me to put a might seed in and have an unlimited supply of both amor and demon juices. how nice that would be. all my lost missions aren't lost because of a lack of damage but because super leet dps hunters die left and right. despite my defense xl buffs, which is the reason why i felt the need to use the hunting horn in the first place. i love quick missions as much as the next hunter but please try to gear so you survive, if something goes awry. sorry. it's been rather frustrating today.

[@Rockfello]

Amazing video. Keep it up. Cheers.

[@Aerynolae]

I'm nearly done with my SnS support build. All I need now is two more Mushroomancer gems. Almost 200 hrs in and no luck.

[@Meia195]

My mind is more blown that I could have been setting the farming tool for the same thing for all the slots, been doing 2 or 3 different ones all along. :p Just need to set 3 might seeds, go to an expedition if Diablos is up, smash his horns, leave to see if I get majestic horns, then repeat to get infinite seeds. :D

[@sherri3218]

I really hoped to see how the hh buffs could work with these

[@whitevii1533]

Whenever a monster goes down and we all charge in I always spray everyone with a Demon Powder :D

[@LittleMountain90]

Question: Do armor buffs stack in the same way and if so, what are the best numbers for armor buffs?

[@Yukilumicest]

Was the attack value and cactus mission really necessary...? Great guide though, you've convinced me to start using demon powder.

[@tastytherrien5106]

Extremely helpful information considering the game doesn't give it itself.

[@markhelsonartillaga7766]

Gaijin, can you make a video about the list of items that work with Wide Range skill and does it go well with Mushroomancer skill? Thanks and more power!

[@RemingtinArms]

"Gaijin, what does the scouter say about his power level?"

[@Skoll-Hati]

Just triple checking. With the pill and powerder, do you have to keep reapplying them throughout the hunt? Or after having the Mega Demon Drug they all last till you die?

[@TrueSighted]

Good to know.

[@Snowboarderr4Life]

Not to mention Heroics buffing you to ludicrous levels of attack power.

[@InevitableTruth247]

I was able to do up to 150 dps with a single phial with my CB after buffing the shit out of my damage and going on a tempered run, and we had a hunting horn mushroom mancer spamming that damage and heals. I knocked Vaal Hazak down in 2 SAED’s

[@katzouille]

Whelp. I guess I'm gonna need to cook a whole lot of drugs, then.

[@TheRanudo]

I see some speedrunners use Felyne Booster, do you know the buff numbers for this food skill?

[@Tactavious]

Think you'll make a video on sleep bombing? I've been trying to look for others to run with that do it but have had no success. I'm thinking not enough people realize just how much damage you can do with consecutive sleep bombs. Right now it's just me using sleep and three random that spam attacks nonstop.

[@Nekayr]

THANK YOU

[@inigo137]

Hey GH, could you make a video that list missions that seems boring and that people probably wont do, but that they help in the long run? Like the example in this video? That would be awesome, ty for your work.

[@CryoJnik]

Any quest that either gets you an upgrade for the tree, ingredients for the canteen, a new mantle or tool and palico gadget

[@coachsporty4039]

Hey Gaijin, can you tell me how the mushroommancer works as far as stacking goes and the values you get from them?

[@BM03]

I see they changed the values AND the stacking. Gaijin what about Bowgun ATK and DEF shots, are they still Mega Demon/Armor drugs with ESP and Superarmor respectively? Do they stack with all now? Duration? Heck, how much is just HH ATK L? Is it 15% instead of XL's 20%? Because Xeno'jiiva's horn is a damn nice one but doesn't go all the way to XL on ATK (as it is ATK+DEF).

[@utnag]

can you do a tutorial on different ammo types for both bow and bowguns?

[@Majors231]

would be nice if theres an option in the menu to switch between bloated values and true values.

[@lawdcookies]

Gaijin, you could have gone to the Training Area and used those items in there, items used in the Training Area are NOT consumed!

[@MasterLollipop]

You can also just abandon quest and it returns all your items anyway, which is probably just habit for people who used to make video demonstrations before the training area was introduced in this game.

[@ramondiaz9385]

Hey man quick question if I use my HH attack XL will it stack

[@lindsayn3419]

Can we still pop a might seed after a might pill to extend the pill effect duration like in older titles?

[@LiangHuBBB]

ok thx

[@jamesbaker9924]

So demon powder isn't affected by item prolonged? That's odd.

[@makie128]

I wonder if we can get new type of charms when Jho is out that also stacks with the current charms. Of course I'm hoping it will come out at the same time as G-Rank and that means monsters' stats are going to be bloated af.

[@SuperMachoGamer]

Attack up L meal + attack up L horn + attack up L armor skills? Doubt it but.. any takers? Gaijin mentioned the horn so now I'm curious.

[@RJTheHero8]

So you're saying that all Attack and Defence buffs are now considered separate buffs? As opposed to older entries where they were all listed in subcategories?

[@XiloTheOdd]

some of the skills that boost attack give a percentile value (like heroics). when is that skill thrown into calculation? before or after buffs?

[@GeForceTranceX]

A bit off-topic that related to Investigations, I wonder if when completing an attempt, do remaining attempts (left) of the active quests are reduced only or the unregistered ones are affected too? Because after finishing a run I noticed a few quest go off the list although I didn't choose to do them (it should be when I finish or manually delete them). Also assuming reaching 250/250 slot limit, is it possible that new quests automatically come and replace the old ones, or do I have to delete some in order for new ones to appear? Really appreciated for any contributing answer.

[@Purpletrident]

Only the quest you select loses an attempt the moment you accept it, not even when completing the quest, so don't ever accept a quest and take it off cause you'll lose an attempt. When your investigation list is full, you won't get any new quests to replace current ones, they just go to waste.

[@GeForceTranceX]

Understood, thank you very much!

[@toter80]

Missed mushomancer buffs. They stack too.

[@Ergeniz]

Kinda, if you took a demondrug though, its the same as a nitromushroom.
