Heres one, press triangle and circle together to make your guy do an upswing then hit circle again to shell upwards. Yes it was a crummy starter, but that is all that i got.

you also do = triangle, triangle, triangle, then continuously press circle to unloud all shells, then immediately jump back or side step to automatically reload.

You can auto reload?

Yes.
I'm pretty sure you have to press Triangle and Circle right as you do a backstep/sidestep.

k thanks continue to post tips and tricks here!

Actually, i dont think you have to press those after the jump. If you have completely unloaded the shells then it does wiothout pressing those buttons. however, if you havent full unloaded then you will have to press those butoons.

I'm pretty sure it never, EVER auto-reloads.

Well, I'll be playing MHFU soon so I"ll be sure to test that out.

When fighting Rathalos, he provides you with a perfect opportunity to wyvernfire when he descends to land after one of his high-aerial attacks. This will give you a much needed boost in damage, as he is otherwise a pain to (gun)lance.

you can also hit triangle and circle at the same time to do an upward slash, then you can shell him while he is desending.

I forgot to post this earlier:

After a backstep you only need to press Circle to reload.

My bad.

Get evade +2 and start back hopping through attacks :P and if you need practice just go low rank and mess around

Wouldn't Guard +2 and Guard Up work better?
As with Guard +2 you can block through any attack and with Guard Up you lose less stamina.

well evade plus 2 is only one skill so you could gem it in and plus your dps over the course of the hunt is much better with evade style play since your weapon is always ready to combo
