        It was gold crown largest. I don’t remember the actual size I forgot to write it down. lol But it was a big ol cat dragon.

          Oh lord they big!! I love it when it’s a gold crown smallest and it’s like “awwwh chibi” before I slaughter it.

          Also as a fellow charge blade user… Nice and based.

            I do CB and HH depending on the group and the monster. CB in Sunbreak is so much fun though. So much more mobile and the wirebug Arial SAED just dumpsters. HH has some weird moves but if you hit right you can stun the shit out of stuff. Also the sharpness regen song is just… Just so gud.

            And yeah gold crown smallest are hilarious like “I want to keep it as my pet.”

              Based, see you actually help. I’m CB, DB and IG so I’m just flying about constantly trying to do all the anime moves and damage. I help by not carting lol.

              I need to get into it properly I’m just so crap at sitting down and playing and maintaining concentration.

                Yeah that’s a few ppl in my squad. lol. I generally just don’t have time to dedicate to a wide variety of games so I just focus on a few I can actually play and beat. Also I’m a tight ass and don’t spend a lot of money on games. lol.

                I will say the end game of this one is suuuper grindy and it kills the fun for a lot of ppl that don’t like to grind. At the same time it also adds something for the ppl that actually like to hunt repeatedly for the sake of hunting so that’s nice. I haven’t gotten my late game HH set down just yet so I’ve been running CB. I do more utilitarian focused builds instead of raw dps. Doing ridiculous DMG can be fine and all but I like being able to take hits and generally have a little easier time and my dps isn’t THAT much lower cause I have so much up time. There’s a new skill from Gold Rathian that basically turns you into the juggernaut when the monster enrages. Makes you immune to tremors, wind, ROARS, etc and adds some defense. Like… Uh yes please? Like the monster enrages, I get the buff, the monster roars from it’s enrage, but I am now immune and just SAED it in the face. lol

                  Oh wow that gold rathian skill sounds incredible.

                  Yeah I spent ages min maxing sets on the vanilla game and they weren’t exactly min maxed because like you I want that ability to react to all situations and actually take a hit but I made them a specified to all the elements I use etc so I was feeling great and now I’m like “all my beautifully crafted sets are for naught”.

                  I feel pretty worn out at this point. I just did the MR70 quest. Now I have to grind to MR100 and it seems to far away. Maybe I will continue at some later point.
