Deviant Monsters

In the past especially for 3U and 4U many have complained about the lower difficulty of the monsters. Generations has attempted to change that in some ways. While you still have all your regular monster Generations has added Deviant Monsters as well. Not the same as sub species. The deviants have new, more powerful gear and overall give more "rewarding" drops that can be used to make Rare X armor and weapons.

Currently there are 12 deviant monsters in Generations.

One example is the Grimclaw Tigrex

To fight these monsters you have to have a ticket allowing you to do so.

What do you all think? Who will miss the Guild quests?

Will tell you once I see for myself . O.

So... EU has their copies out already?

Jelous.

Anyways, I believe guild quests were one of the best additions to the game, and I am pretty sad to see them go. With Guild quests, the hunting posibilities were limitless. But with "Get Ticket, Kill Beast" deal, once you have the armor and weapons that you need, you don't ever have to deal with that one again... the game will essentially have a life span instead.

the rathalos flies a lot so gotta spam flash bombs, i went adept on the narga so it was pretty much teh same as the regular cept it throws sonic booms like guile.

Gonna start hunting Hellblade Glavenus. Trying to squeeze 3 more handicraft points onto my High Rank Glavenus set to activate Sharpness+2, it's doable I just need a few more of a material to make the decorations. Then it's on to Hellblade Glavenus...if I think my weapon can swing it...maybe I should upgrade but I really don't want to deal with Hypermode Chameleos before getting to the meat of the farming.

everything from dreadqueen's tail even that lil taunt where she slams the tail on the floor drops poison aoe everywhere... poison dont last long but it eats hp super fast. silverwind can tail slam into noscope360, all his sonic booms does the bleeding status

ok leveled silverwind to 10, and he got rly different at lvl 7 with more combos n follow ups every move hits like a truck n 3 of the ranged ones that he spams a lot does the bleed status

I did Silverwind 6, with some randoms. He Insta-wiped 3 people with tail slam at around 75% Health, good times, goood times.

You guys are getting me excited for deviants!

Just got credits last night. That means low rank is over... bring it on High Rank!

Did a few Thunderlords. His hitboxes feel really small, and the simplest of sidesteps can dodge his hits.

But maaan oh man, one hit, and its like a damn truck. I'd opt to eat Thunder Res L, to avoid getting oneshotted from his cheeky para traps to body slam combo.

One hits remind me of the older MH games. Hip checks and ohko's for everyone

High resistance makes you immune to that Blight, high negative makes you get the severe version of that element's Blight. Beyond that, I don't really see much difference.

ughh i hate ohko's -.-
cheapest crap ever conceived, i dont mind ohko's in other games, where there is like, omg, a big uber special that can only be used once every 10+turns or every 10 mins of combat(which is usually once or twice per combat) but on mh where the monsters can spam that crap? that's not challenge, that's just cheap bs x.x

and speaking of resistances, anyone know exactly how effective resistances are in this game? cause in older ones it always felt like resistances had very little effect on the dmg you took, honestly def did too but it was somewhat more noticible. Cause sometimes i feel like going for Res up or Def Up feels like it's a complete waste of effort lol

i can see the def reducing damage especially for high lvl deviant hunts where a lot of moves are 1 hit and become 2 hit with like +30 def, but the worst part is the wide arcs or status infliction that happen from those wide arc attacks

Wish Deviant armors would get 1 slot at lv10 upgrade :c

HAH!! I am soooo doing that once I get that armor. My friends are going to flip!

Once you unlock X/10, or the higher numbers. Certain quest also have chances to drop lower rank tickets.

Rank 6/VI, 9/IX and 10/X all drop extra tickets from other ranks.

6/VI has the possibility to drop extras from 1/I to 6/VI

9/IX has the possibility to drop extras from 6VI/ to 9/IX

10/X has the possibility to drop extras from 7/VII to 10/X

The extra ticket drops will range from 1-2 quantities depending on luck.

You are guaranteed 2 tickets of that rank per completion. I did X/10 more than 7/VII and 8/VIII ranks and got most of the 7/VII and 8/VIII tickets from there.

So its beneficial to max out the Deviant quests as soon as possible, so you can grind 10/X without having to do multiples of 7/VII-9/IX.

I hunted some Drilltusk yesterday. He was surprisingly easy.

Old topic, but I just did my first deviant monster (Redhelm) and I thought it was pretty tough at first. I was using hammer and just being too aggressive. Started to be very picky with my moments and went nuts on him when he was walking to get honey which is where I did most of my damage. Probably took me 20 minutes but i finished him with a super pound jump hit.

Very satisfying.

I did all my solo stuff before getting anything high rank, so I had to do the deviants with my LR armors, and this was the first deviant I did, and also wanted to do him solo.

I was not expecting his ohko capabilities on anyone with LR defense.

It was fun, so I relate about the satisfaction about being able to solo him.
