SOULSEER MIZUTSUNE IS CRAZY - New Gene/Monstie/Armor Review + Egg Farm - Monster Hunter Stories 2!

[@Rathadude]

It's ridiculous to be honest. The only max rarity water monster in the game and it doesn't have any useful water genes to speak of. It'd be one thing if we had loads of other options like Seltas Queen or Plesioth but for some reason they aren't even rideable. Two of the three Gene's he comes with aren't practical on him since they aren't his primary damage type and so won't scale off water bingos. Like just one new high damage water move that applies some effect or something would be perfect. They could've just had the fire filled bubbles count as a water attack but with a high chance to burn to make it unique. Or maybe give it a gene that let's it swap it's water and fire attack or even make it's water genes get counted as fire genes for a few turns. What's really sad is the fire gene isn't even a good fire gene. Why have an attack that will detonate later with only a medium chance of burn when I can just use savage fireball and have an immediate high chance of burn?

Throw in Plesioth and Green Plesioth since they're both more physical type water monsters so we get more physical water moves to benefit the fact that Soulseer has high crit. Reason being is what good water genes we got are ranged based and none of them can crit.

Makes one wonder if Capcom has lingering resentment toward water due to how underwater combat was so poorly received.

[@arielfiengo]

I think although you can get pink rathian and lagiacrus eggs they have high chances of gettin a “water” element genes (the blue ones) like evasion skills. I can’t confirm this due to the fact that I had only a couple of explorations, but it could be interesting if that’s the case.

[@hanp6102]

That's not how genes work in this game: there are (from what I know) 8+7 different monstie-type-gene-pools (Normal, Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, Dragon, Status, Elder D., and Weak Version Pools for each type except the elder dragon tier) each class gives you a specific set of predetermined genes. This means that every single pink rathian (high Fire pool), ash kecha (high Fire pool), Lagiacrus (high thunder pool) etc. you get, has a set amount of skills you can get from them (which in case of fire monsties means 0 Water Monstie Genes) . So no they don't yield you a chance of giving you the water monstie pool genes. I assume Capcom somehow messed up the Water Monstie den and accidentally gave it the regular pomore garden monster egg spawns. Here is a short list of all the Water Gene Pool Monsties in the game; Weak Water Pool: Ludroth, (Regular) Kecha Wacha, Barroth / Strong Water Pool: Cephadrome, Mizu., Purp. Ludroth, Deviant Mizu..

[@arielfiengo]

@@hanp6102 sorry, i didn’t mean precisely water attack genes like the ones you have mentioned. Instead, I was referring to genes that are blue in color (that’s the water element part), like evasión skills or kinship cost down 😅.

[@hanp6102]

@@arielfiengo Jeah, and i specifically even told you that the fire monsties just somehow happen to NOT even have a single water element gene in their gene pool. Fire monsties don't even drop a water gene (fire monsties do not drop evasion genes nor kinship cost down nor ANY OTHER water gene)

[@hanp6102]

Additonally that means 2(fire) out of 5 monsties the new "water" den drops don't even yield any chance for water genes. Lagiacrus (high thunder pool) and green Narga. (high Normal pool) drop each 2 water genes, however those are not the genes anyone specifically farming for the water monster pool genes needs (like for example Water attack plus, water def. plus, cirt heal, scynchronize etc. are all EXCLUSIVE genes for the water monstie gene pool). The water genes that lagi drops could already be obtained from the thunder den quest they released one month ago.

[@shirokatta4051]

Fun fact this beast of a monster has one of the largest health pools in the game beating out basically all the elder dragons with a total of over 30,000 hp and hitting for above 400 water damage. So this thing is tanky as hell, hits with aoes, attacks twice when enraged, and counters quite frequently my advice don’t use an ai partner wait for a buddy and pack as many health items as possible and use as many paralysis daggers as possible. He will counter against items but he if he’s paralyzed he can’t counter most of the time and he seems to be easy to put under status effects. If you want to wait out the counter it stops once the bubbles on his claws go away best weapons to use on him are blunt and cutting type weapons aim for his claws to tip him over. Use as many kinships as possible and stun lock him so he doesn’t kill everyone with an aoe because those do all the debuffs and he likes using it a lot so the best option is to use all the potions and let the monsties do the damage patching them up when needed. If you have a thunder weapon use that. So basically buy life powder like how people bought toilet paper when COVID started and bring something that has a high chance of causing paralysis and call it a day. Do keep this thing has a lot of health will not go down quickly so you may want to make sure you have a good bit of free time because it took my lvl 60 party over 30 turns to put this thing down so yeah this to take some time. It’s parts also are kinda hard to break and he has that insane amount of health so unless you are over leveled or have some kind of crit beast that deals all the damage this will be a battle of stamina

The one thing on Soulseer Mizutsune I wish wasn't made irrelevant was his high crit chance. The majority of what water genes we have are ranged attacks which will not crit. Maybe if we had Namielle, Plesioth, Green Plesioth, and Nibelsnarf as monsties they'd definitely have physical hitting water attacks. Otherwise I just use Pump Up, Merciless and Harmony genes to compensate for the lack of being able to crit reliably. I'd trade this diet Soulseer for Plesioth.

Yeah Elderfrost Gammoth unfortunately just got regular Gammoth's ice armor and two new AoE ice attacks. Elderfrost doesn't even beat out Velkhana in raw ice damage (and certainly not crit) and Kush is better simply due to the fact Kush has maxed out crit potential while still having the same raw ice damage and nearly identical defenses as Elderfrost. I guess Elderfrost is slightly better than Kush as a tank with higher HP but that's about it. P.S. - If Elderfrost had maxed out raw ice damage then it would have an advantage over Velkhana and Kush like Rajang does over Boltreaver Astalos, Thunderlord Zinogre and Kirin. Also note that Kush's kinship gives out a defense buff to allies on top of doing AoE. So not even Elderfrost's kinship can compare to Kush.

Little Disappointed in this one; what with its lack of water moves and Valiant Flare equivalent. The Water Egg den is actually way worse than I thought it would be; here I was at least expecting to just get a bunch of Kecha Wacha, Royal Ludroth/Purple Royal Ludroth, and Cephadrome (lol) eggs; but nope. Having stocked up on Pink Rathians for Valiant Flare genes, its actually kinda annoying to see her eggs pop up when I really wanted a way to just farm water moves. My only assumption as to why they did this didn't give us a water buff move like Valiant Flare is that Soulseer Mizutsune REALLY works well with evasion passive stacking, so they might've thought pairing that with defense as well may have been too much? Even then; its a huge missed opportunity for water monsties. Here's hoping we do get an expansion that fills out the roster a little.

If the baby soul seer can actually see, does that mean we blind it before we actually ride it? Also why didnt they just give Hellblade and Boltreaver the same treatment as Soulseer and Elderfrost but giving them the other weapon types they they didnt have like GS, GL, S&S, and Hammer for Bolt and GS and HH for Hellblade? It feels very odd for half the Fated 4 to just have all weapon classes covered and the other to have a select few.

[@conorb.1901]

@@ChaoticOrigin I think the only subspecies that had weapons in Stories 2 were the metal Raths, but those were just upgrades for the Rathalos stuff

Still think Namiel should have been the strongest water monster.

Mizutsune - Sans Edition

[@Kharnix]

It's really sad seeing Mizutsune done dirty like that. He's still an amazing monstie, don't get me wrong but he is seriously lacking in the water genes department. Hopefully we can get Amatsu, Namielle and Coral Pukei in an expansion or simply past the roadmap who will give water the genes it desperately needs.

[@crimsonangel8716]

Lol I've been playing online to try to get Soulseer and I've met alot of people who try to sabotage me with a lvl 1 monsties and then they are typically a low level as well...It truly sucks when this happens

[@Decarus37]

I have been getting people level 40 who just attack and expect me to keep them alive. I have ran out of f*cks to give. If you come here 30 levels lower than me I expect you to keep yourself alive while I put in the reasonable damage.

[@crimsonangel8716]

@@Decarus37 Yeah I've had to use 5 ancient potions and spam life powder to keep these people alive or I just reset my save and do solo with ai which rarely help in terms of healing

[@Decarus37]

@@crimsonangel8716 I actually am out of dust of life now because I kept having to use it during the counter stage and these people will hop onto a mount and not realize they can't just hide when soulseer is enraged. Watched so many mounts be canceled from a crit

[@crimsonangel8716]

@@Decarus37 It's been like that especially when people don't know they can heal while mount or don't wait to delay the super attack with the kinship and end up getting one shot

[@meowsquared]

SoulSeer is frustrating because it's a crit water monstie in a game that literally has zero crit water moves to begin with, and everyone more or less expected SS Mizu to solve that issue for us. As it is, it's a cool-looking monstie that I'll probably never use aside from maybe a meme-build or two.

[@AkaiAzul]

There is one water move that can crit: Maximum Rollout, a medium strength move that causes recoil damage to the user, meaning if you did get it to hit hard enough, can severely injure your monstie. Yay?

[@FlintsForge6931]

if they added nammiel that would be crazy

[@Hyperneosonic97]

We really need a water element monster that has GOOD Water Elemental genes. Be it Namielle, Chameleos, Tigerstripe Zamtrios or the Plesioths.

[@Zingystardust01]

Why does capcom hate water monsters so much. Fire, electric, and non elemental have plenty to chose from. Hell even dragon and ice have options

[@BlackHeart1216]

I'll stick with my water Palamute thanks.

[@hoodieeevee372]

Tis bobble king

[@Rusty_Spy]

This was already a pretty annoying aspect of monsties with how they don't learn all the unique moves their larger monster version can, and this is probably the most egregious example of that.

[@groudongamer3178]

I'm naming mine orochi cuz of okami.

[@windwolf7517]

Honestly if Plesioth were a monstie (ugh, gross) we'd have more water dudes...oh well.

[@wooper9633]

I'm waiting very patiently for Raging Brachy and Ruiner Nerg. Edit: AND NAMIELLE

[@S34Mii]

I was pretty disappointed in everything about this monstie. I have a very powerful regular Mizu but Soulseer just doesn't have what I'm looking for besides water element offense. Armor, weapons, and genes disappointed me...
