Monster Hunter Subspecies Are Getting Better.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Title Update 2 was recently released, and I'm amazed by the quality of the monsters. I just wanted to make a video talking about them and ranking them based on their quality and my personal taste.

Did you know if you attack Mizutsune at the right time during the spirit bomb it will drop on him and deal 2k+ damage and stagger it?! It’s hilarious. Also they have basically confirmed there will be more risen elder dragons as it’s not a new chameleos it’s simply an elder dragon so it beat the Quirio

[@roninthedragonlord8284]

The Risens are referred to by their own category in the game and on the website, so it's safe to assume they're like Arch Tempereds and we'll be getting more of them

Gotcha I thought so

[@zaciorfida-costanzo706]

Ye they are just powered up monsters, but man do they feel like variants (atleast so far with chammy). If I was blindly reacting to his fight and you told me that he was a variant, I would believe you

[@ninjalawzo]

What's a difference between variants and risen? Technically speaking they are the same, they just arrive to that tempered version due to another monster vs nature?

[@roninthedragonlord8284]

@@ninjalawzo All variants, as far as I’m aware, can happen over the natural course of a monster’s life, a Risen would only come into being under the normally unnatural phenomenon of the Qurio attacking it

[@zaciorfida-costanzo706]

@@ninjalawzo people tend to compare Risens to arch tempered monsters and all those other type of “powered up monsters”, which aren’t exactly considered seperate monsters, risen and arch tempered are technically in that similar category. However, some arch tempered monsters barely change, some just have more health and damage and thats it, but with Risen Chameleos so far, he fights differently, and has another rage state he can go into with a handful of new moves. And this isn’t just like the monster having one new attack, chammy got like 5-8 new moves. So far from what we have seen Risens are powered up monsters, but with what they have they feel like so much more, enough to be considered a variant imo

Well given this team was comprised of those who worked on main line MH and Frontier along with the guy heading Rise and Sunbreak being the man who headed Frontier (Hencewhy Espinas is in the game - it's his actual baby and it's amazing) so we can only hope for more great stuff.

[@Gorguinni]

Ohh that makes more sense

[@ChompDude]

I don't remember really liking Seething Bazel in World but I found its fight in Sunbreak to be much better. I still don't have much reason to hunt it though. Rise/Sunbreak improved ALOT of fights. Kushala is actually fun, Silver Rath is actually not a nightmare.

[@skrilllfury2120]

Kushala being fun is the big one for me. Forgives enough from World that Kushala shot up on my favorite monster list, since I’ve always loved its design and concept.

[@solomon9655]

Oh yeah, one of the HUGE upsides to Rise/Sunbreak for me is that no monsters are BAD. No more Kushala and Rathalos-induced headaches is a huge win. Helps that the game is pretty good too.

[@deinonychus1948]

@@solomon9655 yeah, even f**king Jyuratodus is a good fight now, I am kinda salty though... they had the Piscine Wyvern skeleton but brought the second worst one?! If Jyuratodus was made better, then maybe they could take Lavasioth and make him fun (I know that sounds like a stretch but it's not impossible) and bring the best fish boi; Beotodus as well! I think the only reason why Beotodus and Lavasioth didn't return is a lack of snow and large lava pools to fight them in (as in quantity, not quality) But hey; the fact that Jyuratodus was improved this much means that in the next console MH game (which will likely include the aforementioned piscine wyverns) all the piscine wyverns (yes, even Plesioth) could get this treatment... Lavasioth could be like an early game Agnaktor (fought after Rathian but before heavy hitters like Tigrex and the aforementioned Agnaktor) that teaches you how the lava armour works, but make the armour weaker by comparison and Beotodus wouldn't need that many changes as he was already quite good this kind of stuff makes me excited for the next game even more!

[@GenshinLover283]

And Gold Rathian, while still fun, is still just a Rathian

[@Rathadude]

Seething was barely that different to be honest. They added like 2-3 new moves in Sunbreak and that's it. Silverlos from Iceborne was easily the best rendition of Rathalos for me. His head being being hard isn't even a thing in Sunbreak anymore. You can hit it with white sharpness and it still doesn't bounce like what? Agree with Kushala though. Way less annoying though I think they nerfed his wind shield way to much. It's not even noticeable anymore because it's so weak.

[@byattbyakir6563]

Violet Mizu was crazy af and I rock with Flaming and Risen as well, i was rlly annoyed with all the fire variants in Sunbreak but I dont even care because of how good Magmadron, Violet, and Flaming are

[@Gorguinni]

FACTS

[@cahruun]

now we just need some more ice or thunder variants to test the fire weapons on lmao

[@galaxyknight2869]

I dunno, Flaming Espinas is a returning Sub, but he was kinda a second gen subspecies, making him the FIRST non-recolor actually complex moveset changing subspecies in monster hunter history. Up until then it was all Azure Rath and Pink Rath and Metal Rath with no changes but worse hitzones. Flaming Espins pioneered the idea of Subspecies drastically changing a monster in Monster Hunter. He was a slow and steady build up fighter back then with tankier but heavier hitting attacks and defense down instead of paralysis. Pearl Espinas later on, the rare species, also served as the only rare species to be introduced in a second gen era of sorts, and he was even more ridiculous with flame tornadoes and such. Frontier did us a favor.

[@SilasSeiler]

I would guess Chameleos' invisibility is harder to track because it's an elder dragon and nargacuga is not

[@Gorguinni]

Perhaps but if a monster goes invisible, it should be untraceable, regardless of threat level but that’s what I think

[@SilasSeiler]

[@CousinChal]

Honestly I was ready to be upset about Violet Mizu cos a) another fire monster??, and b) we could have had Thunder Bubble, but it's such a good fight I couldn't be mad. Oh, and the armour slaps. Also I was never a fan of Chameleos but Risen really saved him for me, tho I am dreading possible Teo and Kushala Risens in the future.

[@TheDaemonDD]

Risen are, per lore concept technicality, the same thing as apex monsters in MH4U. Apex monsters in MH4U overcame the frenzy virus, and here it seems only elder dragons are able to overcome the qurio affliction. It's kind of a funny thing, because elders couldn't even be frenzied in MH4U, so they weren't really counted for in the Apex system. In this case, I much prefer how they're doing Risen elders to 4U Apexes, since in the latter's case, it was just kind of the same monster, but you needed to have an item effect to effectively damage them at all. Here it's just a tougher fight with new moves and a more advanced AI. AND it comes with their own darn armor set, which I wholly appreciate for sure. Sunbreak's been doing subspecies pretty well. My only real complaint is the high ass number of fire variants. I could understand magmadron and orangeten, but pyredaki and flaming espinas? It's just more fire of what's already fire! That said, even flaming espinas has the benefit of being an old returning mon, if this is a depiction of Frontier's orange espinas... Either way, I am wholly looking forward to see what we're seeing next for Risen elders. Chammy's new skills were already a hoot and a half, so who knows what Teo and Kush will add to the mix. And hell, maybe even Valstrax near the end of it all.

[@jacktheomnithere2127]

I personally don't like sub species. They are pretty much taking over spots in the roster that should be for new monsters in my opinion. That was the thing I liked most about Base Rise, no subspecies. Then Sunbreak came and ruined it. None of the new subspecies or variants are interesting to me. Also, the subspecies are in my opinion just a more boring fight than the original monster. The only subspecies I actually like is Fulgur Anjanath since I already loved the base monster, just thought that fire is a pretty boring element. And Fulgur just looks even cooler and I love his charged state.

You’re completely right. I should’ve said that the fights were getting better in world, at least for me I noticed a spike in improvement

[@jackattack1319]

I prefer violet mizutsune over flaming espinas and risen chameleos.

[@Rathadude]

I have to disagree at least partly. I do think Iceborne had some of the most unique subspecies and variants to date with gems like Coral Pukie-Pukie, Acidic Glavenus, Ruiner Nergigante ect. But a lot of the Sunbreak subspecies are just the same monster but swap the elements and add more explosions. Pyre Rakna Kadaki is the only exception since it combines its web and fire in a unique way. But look at Aurora Somnacanth. They just gave it some random ice explosions it generates spontaneously out of nowhere and a generic ice laser. Magma Almudron gets "lava mud" but it mostly behaves the same way we've seen before with a few new moves. Flaming Espinas is probably the worst where it just gives his fireballs Michael Bay effects, steels a couple more moves from other monsters like Bloodbath's spin move, and oh yeah they gave it a nuke because we haven't seen that before. And with Violet Mizu? Again more explosions. The homing projectiles have been done before with Stygian so they don't really feel special only with Stygian's case they actually made sense because his projectiles are living organisms. How do Mizu's bubbles track you are they like sentient or something? Oh yeah and they also gave it a nuke because apparently all high tier fire monsters need one now.

[@poopbutt1879]

Facts. But i disagree with flaming espinas, he was a pretty cool frontier monster in rise.

[@dinolover]

Yeah nah. When every sub is a fire element that doesn't mean they're evolutions whatsoever. Improved move sets doesnt translate to a good monster. Dunno about you, but subs were fun when they werent all some form of FIRE. Seething bazel, fire. Metal raths, fire. Espinas sub, fire. Violet Mizu, fire. We've only got 1 original monster sub because Risen is just Apex with a different title.

[@neypaz8054]

Since Iceborne only? No love for the P3rd, 3U and 4U subspecies? I think your bad opinion on the old subspecies was mostly because of the first-gen subspecies, which were all crap. But Capcom began improving since then IMO

Both two being simply elemental changes is complete bullshit, expecially with Magmadron, and makes me dubt that you actually fought them at all or if you say it just because you hate them for other reasons.

Subspecies exists because of adaption not to be a better challenge an example of a good subspecies would fulgur anja because instead of it shooting thunder beam it shoots thunder mucus others great subs would be sand barioth or brute tigrex. Good subspecies are we the devs spend time think on how to turn an interesting idea for a monster into a fight rather than just "hehe ice rathalos" and more of something like ground based rathalos.
