Thanks again. I've only done a few of the 3* village quests, so that's probably where I'm going wrong. I'll focus on those until I stop being so shit!
Also, when you add in the sauce in at the bistro look for skills like Moxie (prevents one death) or even better Defender (Hi) which will negate some damage taken randomly.
For Great Sword, using just draw attacks is a decent way to hunt. Go in, draw (charge if you have time) and drop the sword on the monster, sheath it and run out. Keeps you more mobile.
If worse comes to worse, grab a more defense set like Tetsu's armor, you won't get the attack bonus from Buja, but may help keep you in the fight longer.
But most importantly, just enjoy it, as you play it will become easier over time, look out for GAF rooms if you can, I don't think I can remember a GAF room that was every upset with carts or failed hunts, most of us are pretty level headed and know it's tough for a while when it's new.
Edit: also if you are playing online and get to half health or lower, just leave the area to heal up if you need, prevents getting pounced on when you what to drink a potion or two.

Just hunted the Mizutsune that intrudes in a 3* village quest. Phew, took me 40 minutes with my sword and shield but I'm feeling pretty good after that.
Then I killed the bulldrome in 3 minutes to end the quest lol

Eat food that gives 50 health and keep your HP at maximum levels. Also practice soloing the monsters via village quests so you can learn patterns and attacks.

I miss Wroggi armor so much. They need to bring it back in MH5 or what have you.

You're telling me that thing was actually able to be killed? I tried attacking it for a bit but concluded that it was like the Lagiacrus that intruded that coral quest back in Tri (which had infinite health).
After it didn't die in more than just a couple minutes, I figured it wouldn't die (since every monster I've hunted thus far has died quickly, I literally killed the Bulldrome in less than a minute).
Still got stuff for breaking parts, at least.

A certain Palico build in this game is extremely viable and even gives kill times similar to actual weapons

It requires you to have Piercing Boomerang, Big Boomerang, Critical up L, Critical up S, and Boomerang Pro. Earplugs are optional. You also teach it Last Stand and Emergency retreat but those aren't unlocked until level 25
Boomerangs do a lot of damage with it. If you plan on using Prowler on hunts a lot its perfect
It's +15 Attack and 20 Defense and you get 5 more attack if you drink a cold drink. Same for Hot Blooded except with a hot drink you get 5 more defense.

They have triple health. Doable but I'm not wasting my time with that shit lol. I could kill it 3x over and get 3x the drops right after
You could do it in 4U. I don't remember if it was in 3U.
It's been in since Freedom 2 at least. i can;t remember if it was in the original MH or the first Freedom.
Thanks pal. Appreciate it.
Great sword is a trick weapon to use but it's my favourite weapon and I consider it the flagship weapon for the series.
First, most of your hits will be unsheath attacks (forward + X) it's fast and you can then roll away if the enemy is too offensive. It can also be charged for a lot more damage, which is basically the GS gimmick.
As for hitting monster you need keep the target camara on them and usually get to them from the side after they do an action.
Combos and handy moves.
Unsheath attack to sword slap to super charge to spinning charge is the most damaging combo and will go great damage to specific parts. The last move does leave you super open though. ( forward + X (chargeable), X , back + X (chargeable), A (hits with the strength of the last charge).
Not the most damaging combos but it's fast and covers good areas are
1) X , A (repeatable) -> moves forward a bit
2) A , A + X (repeatable) -> keeps you in place
You can go for a super charge out of of a horizontal slash by pressing A a second time.
Out of rolls:
1) if you roll forward and press X, you'll perform a forward sword slap. It's really handy because it advances a lot and leaves you with the chance to do any move. Charge, super charge, horizontal slash or backwards slash.
2) rolling sideways let's you do a horizontal slash, which allows you do dodge and keep on the offensive.
Hope that helps, you just gotta look for an opening. Sometimes unsheath and run might be the best move. On big openings like lots of cool down, when it's exhausted or knocked down/ trapped go for charges. You can also direction your attacks a little bit by going to the right or left of your character when hitting that will let you acomodate your strikes.
I think it works like the regular dodge. But my guts telling me that if you happen to activate the second jump by hitting a surface, it gives another iframe for that jump until you got airborne.

How do you use the counter class bonuses as a HH user?

Over 10h and still doing some gathering shit in Village 2*. I thing MH3U and MH4U had better pacing at start.
They really should have named this Monster Gatherer: Generations.
Why not just skip most of them? You can always go back and use them to break up the meaty hunts later on.
Right at the beginning of the dodge and also you get a lot of invincibility frames when you vault off the monster. You can even avoid getting hit by tail spins by vaulting off the tail as it comes around, or rushing attacks by vaulting off them head-on.
Not sure what you mean? How do you Adept Horn? Do an adept dodge and press X, A, or X+A to start a three hit combo. You get the note of the button you pressed, and you can get two more notes from the combo by pressing the buttons, or you can not press buttons to not get more notes. You can also evade out early after the first or second hit.
Oh shit now that sounds awesome
Yeah I only found out about it a few days ago--I've been using Aerial wrong all this time. lol. I always assumed you would just get hit if you jumped at a monster bumrushing you, but for some reason you don't get hit if you time it right.

Anyone up for HR2 keys? We can take turns on the urgent, too if anyone else needs it. I've still been neglecting online even though I'm nearly done w/ village lol.

We're gonna be fighting Malfestio first if that sweetens the pot, lol.
Thanks for all the good answers, I guess I do not have to write a OP that says "Am I the only one who thinks MHG has a slow opening" ;-)...
I think MH4U has the best opening. But I think this might become my favourite MH game since adept is just so fun.
However, right now it is a slog, a long slow slog...

Is that Jam, the legendary cat of legends? I am also interested in acquiring it if anyone has it and is willing to share?

Over 30 hours in and I finally tried something other than guild style. Aerial style longsword has brought a new sense of joy into my monster hunting. One day (maybe after a few hundred more hours) I may try a different weapon. What a time to be alive! Thanks to everyone in here whose pro-tips helped make this fairly unwelcoming game a little more accessible. 😀

I don't know what that's about but I'm coming, wait!
EDIT: Thanks for the cats. It's the Pierce+Big boomerang combination. It's not that hard to get those cats, just scout for fighting felynes and you will eventually find them. I think I have like 7-8 of them.

I have played and enjoyed every weapon extensively, but dual blades were a bore to me in MH4U. However Aerial dual blades is something else. I've never felt more badass. I recommend trying it
