[MHFU] Tigrex vs Gunlance (5★ Village) (Urgent Quest)

This is all pretty anecdotal stuff, so, try and see it like such. If you're going to leave a comment about how Tigrex/Gunlance/etc. isn't that bad, just save yourself the time and don't. Right, hello, by the way did you know I write a bunch in the description of these videos? Anyways. This hunt wasn't that great, but it wasn't that bad I guess. Had a couple of shitty starts til I got this take. So... I DO NOT RECOMMEND fighting Tigrex like this, both because it's just not a great time (it's fun tbh, just very annoying) There's simply better weapons to use for much much much less hassle. Greatsword makes Tigrex a joke, almost every other weapon I've had very mixed results with. ...Dual Swords was fun. Anyways. This video is kind of just a "technically you can fight Tigrex at this point" The other main reason I don't recommend this at all is because of the grind involved. You need Evasion+2, I'm not going to pretend like you're going to become a god and be able to dodge through his attacks without it. You can roll through his roars decently consistently with some practice, but to roll through his attacks you have to be perfect, since there's more than one or two frames of active time. I don't actually think it's possible in almost every single case. Anyways. The Lobster Set takes 7 Sm Lobster Shells, which I got 3 of after somewhere around 14 Plesioth hunts, since it seems to only come from carving Plesioth (so, a dual hunt would've probably been better tbh) I think you can also get Sm Lobster Shells from Daimyo Hermitaur, but some information in this game, even still, seems pretty hard to find verifiable sources for, such as with Monster Bone+. You can get a Gravios Skull Shell from Ceanataur, by breaking his shell while it's the Gravios Skull and getting lucky. You COULD use the Butterfly/Obituary set and use 3 Evasion Jewels, that would only be 3 Sm Lobster Shells, but then you'd have to farm a bunch of bugs, probably easier though, I kinda forgot about it 😅 Your call. I also forgot to show in the video but I'm using one Stone Wall Jewel to negate the Guard-1 penalty from the Lobster Armor. Oh well. I'm absolutely not a Gunlance user, and I'm sure this shows, so maybe with much better muscle memory it could go a bit better. =========THE STRATEGY========= SO... the main strategy here is to use your upswing move as he turns. You have to kinda face directly left and do it to hit him, then you can do a backhop and start moving to his left, getting ready to react to his next move. If he does the bite, try to avoid it or backhop through it, if he does the double bite, use your analog stick to turn to your left and try to evade under his arm, if you can't do that, make the call, quickly, and block instead. Power juice makes this a lot safer, as he can't break your guard if your guard can't be broken. If Tigrex starts to charge, as soon as you see/hear him do it, face him and block. You can do the lunging attack during his spin, it's a great way to get a couple of hits in. Watch the video for more examples of what to do where. I'm not a gunlance user whatsoever, but I'll try to explain things as best as I can if you want to leave a comment. Tigrex in this game is garbage. Seriously. There are so many hitboxes that straight up should NOT be there, or at the VERY LEAST not there for as long as they are. Period. That's just bad game design, I'm not going to sugar coat it. It's dog shit. I have so much more fun fighting Plesioth than Tigrex, and that's kind of a problem. The instant point blank charges he does are just not fun. They're stupid. And yeah yeah, I should've blocked them when I see them, but with all I'm trying to think about, since I don't have the muscle memory for using a gunlance, my reactions are very slow because I have to make a decision to turn and backhop or face him and block, and I can't do that all the time. Again, this isn't that bad..... it's actually pretty fun and cool, just... only if you have Evasion+2 and have used Gunlance for quite some time. Just use the Greatsword, you can get an Evasion+2 set later, which, tbh you probably should if you're going to use lance or gunlance.
