I tried out the Insect-thing DS (DRA 50) on Rathalos, and the Snow-thing DS (Ice 100) on Diablos... I destroyed Rathalos in my fastest time yet, and Diablos took me 27 minutes. I really expected to time out with such weak weapons haha, didn't know what I was getting into with the Dual Swords. It's crazy. The Diablos time is amazing considering it's my first Diablos since Tri, and I didn't bring any stamina-ups, traps, or sonic bombs.
I like it already! Still rocking starting armor @ no upgrades, so hopefully I can finish it up like this and get an HR armor for HR!
I shouldn't invest heavily in HR armor, right? Is there any good set to shoot for to carry me to G? Or should I get an LR armor and upgrade it to HR levels (I'm not missing armor spheres)?
