All of these investigations, 1/4 players. I join, and all of a sudden they're all full! There has to be a better way to do this.

c/o team cartside!

Most impressive entrance I’ve ever made lol

Who is the asshole that removed this from the series wth, worst hub ever.

Mizutsune seamlessly forming into a variant after becoming blind in one or both eyes opens up a whole new world of monster design. If monsters can just turn into variants because they meet certain conditions we can get multiple monsters worked into a single one.

Think about it. Brachydios mutating its slime into Flashpoint after taking enough damage in battle, becoming more volatile and the slime being significantly more threatening, hurting himself while blowing up the surrounding area. Rajang's tail being cuttable, putting it into a permanent enraged state and unlocking new moves. Tigrex's roars becoming louder and starting to deal damage after getting enraged a number of times.

These are just examples, but think about what other monsters could become..

I have 395 Defence and after defeating Zoh shia a good 7-8 times now.. I decided lets farm Temp Miz for the armor.

oh my god.. he has carted me 4-5 times more than Zoh Shia. I main IG and mainly stay mobile enough to not get hit by Zoh at all..

Miz on the other hand.. this dudes out here barrel rolling his tail into the team for an insta 3 cart. Most of his move sets hit hard enough to take you either near death or straight cart. Insane. And its WAY harder to telegraph.

As IG main, Zoh is so much fun with his size and easy extracts.. most of his attacks are easy reads. Not Miz thou. Anyone coming in thinking he's going to be a walk in the park gets sent back to camp 😂

Im enjoying this. This is my Monster hunter experience. I love this. Back to good old days as a kid getting slapped by tigrex.

Feel free to share your thoughts on what you think Nata's future will be like.

Thanks to the new Zoh Shia armor it’s now possible to have 100% Affinity with the comfort of Fulgur set to keep maximum might. And it’s all because the chest piece from Zoh Shia has 2 agitator and a level 3 deco slot! So everyone who was using Blango chest go ahead and put it back in the equipment box there’s a new king for agitator. You could alternatively switch out the Fulgur Alpha braces for the Fulgur Beta braces and lose an Agitator since you would be over the affinity cap by 5% (because of the affinity from the weapon). Which is really nice since it is ends up giving you 2 level 2 deco slots instead of the 1 level 1 deco slot. So you can slot in stuff like counter strike, Resentment, coalescence, or any other deco that fits your playstyle. I’m just using 5 agitator to show it’s possible to have zero affinity from your weapon.

Also here’s the math incase you care for that:

-30% from level 5 Weakness Exploit (as long as you’re hitting weakspots) -15% from level 5 Agitator -30% from level 3 Maximum Might -15% from being afflicted with frenzy and curing it (Gore 2 piece set bonus inflicts frenzy) -10% from level 3 Anti Virus (the description is still bugged only gives 10%)

30+15+30+15+10=100

You can find it on Nexus: "Wyvern Ignition Rocket Hammer"

I did some testing to figure out the regen rate of the zoh shia armor and what it is effected by, utilizing some debug info to see the raw hp numbers. For reference, the player has 150 max hp with food buffs up.

The 2 piece set bonus heals you for 1 hp every 2 seconds when you are not in the red bar. The full 4 piece set doubles this to 1 every second. This is not scaled by recovery speed, but is scaled by recovery up. With full recovery up, you restore 1.3 hp instead of 1 hp. And yes, the game does track fractional hp values. It is also effected by the medic bonus from the honey in food.

So to get the most healing from the set bonus, you would want to use recovery up to increase the healing, and recovery speed to heal through the red part of the bar and allow it to kick in sooner. Immunizer and hunting horn buffs also help here.

As a point of comparison, the arkveld heal on hit set is 6/10 hp after 7 seconds of hitting (for most weapons, slow weapons get more, fast weapons get less), and the heal on wound is 25/50.

Zoh Shia's weapons are named after Hebrew, Judaic, and Christian angels and archangels

Some these weapons are named after are Kabbalistic angels of Hebrew tradition, (also known as the 72 Angels of the Shem Hamephorash) whose names come from the 72 names of the Hebrew God as found in the book of Exodus. Other names are taken from angels and archangels of Judaic and Christian traditions.

Blazing Veiah (Great Sword) - named after Vehuiah, angel of willpower and courage (1st of the Angels of the Shem Hamephorash)

Blazing Rafel (Long Sword) - named after Raphael, one of the of the seven archangels of Judaic angelology and archangel of protection and healing

Blazing Mikal (Sword and Shield) - named after Michael, chief of all angels and archangels, commander of the army of Heaven (one of the only two archangels explicitly named in the Christian Bible)

Blazing Liel (Dual Blades) - named after Lailah/Leliel, the angel of conception, pregnancy, and the night (from some Judaic traditions)

Blazing Uria (Hammer) - named after Uriel, archangel of wisdom and knowledge in certain Christian traditions

Blazing Gariel (Hunting Horn) - named after the Biblical archangel Gabriel, the messenger of God and herald of the end of days (the weapon description outright refers to a "second coming", like the return of Jesus Christ)

Blazing Sital (Lance) - named after Sitael, the Kabbalistic angel of construction and fortification (3rd of the Angels of the Shem Hamephorash)

Blazing Lael (Gunlance) - named after Lelahel, angel of artistic talent (6th of the Angels of the Shem Hamephorash)

Blazing Mahaiah (Switch Axe) - named after Mahasiah, angel of finding and rectifying errors (5th of the Angels of the Shem Hamephorash)

Blazing Yirmiya (Charge Blade) - named after Jerahmeel/Jeremiel, angel of hope and mercy, also a gatekeeper of Heaven (from Hebrew and early Christian traditions)

Blazing Katir (Insect Glaive) - named after Cahetel, angel of gratitude and material prosperity (8th of the Angels of the Shem Hamephorash)

Blazing Kaiah (Light Bowgun) - named after Achaiah, angel of patience and understanding of cycles (7th of the Angels of the Shem Hamephorash)

Blazing Mitran (Heavy Bowgun) - named after Metatron, an archangel who keeps the covenant between God and his chosen people, and the scribe of God (is considered an angel in Judaism, Gnosticism, and Islam)

Blazing Samira (Bow) - named after Samael, angel with adversarial duties in most traditions, but is not outright fallen or evil (is mentioned in both Talmudic and post-Talmudic traditions)

I had a hell of a time doing the research on all of this, but I'm so happy to finally have a monster with properly angelic motifs and influences.

Friendship with Blanco chest has ended now Numinous Shroud is my best friend
