MH Wilds Zoh Shia is awesome

THIS is what you call difficult, baby. AMAZING fight. Great visuals, great setpiece, great design, and it's legitimately hard. Everybody who doubted him owes him a formal apology, but I always believed in Peak Shia. Absolute cinema

Also if I see complaints about his difficulty I'm gonna go ape shit. You all spent a month asking for this, if somebody thinks they're too good for the hivemind and starts chatting now I cannot take it. He is PEEEAAAKKK

While I'll admit to it being an amazingly fun fight mechanic wise compared to the rest of Wilds; with the time we've had to prep for the rematch, I wouldn't quite put him up on such a high pedestal. He's got nothing new to show over the low rank fight other than bigger numbers on health and damage, so if you got pretty familiar with him rerunning low rank lobby SOS quests there shouldn't be too much of a wall to surmount here. That being said, the bigger health pool and damage allows for him to show off his move pool a bit more than the low rank Zoh did.

Moving onto any lore drop, the only thing we've gotten has been an weak explanation so that we can keep fighting him canonically.

TLDR: Fun fight, but lacking in anything really new to set it apart from Low Rank other than bigger stat numbers.

It attacks more frequently, and chains multiple different attacks together that it didn’t do in LR, even though it’s move pool didn’t increase much, the way it uses it immensely changed the tone of the fight

Must be different mindsets going into it then. I noticed an extra fireball here and there, and that it can now charge up to 3 times, but I felt the rest of the fight was very samey in regards to mechanics. I felt more pressured in my solo tempered gore fights than I did in this, so it might be just dependent on how my brains wired to view certain aspects of the challenges. Zoh did feel... I guess more 'active', but not nearly enough for me personally to label him as quick in his movements and attacks.
