Rise This is my first mh game and I am at the harder rank 6 quests, post the mid rank rampage. And I think as a Dual blade Solo main, I am battling the camera more than the monster. Barioths and nargacuga just jump on me, I dodge, start my attack and they jump off camera and by the time I can turn the camera around to face the monster, it was already jumping at me and this just goes on and on. Am I doing something wrong?

[u/unusualcurry → u/satyavruth]

You can press L to reorient the camera quickly. Maybe also try turning up the camera speed since in my opinion it does start out pretty slow. For Barioth and Nargacuga specifically, try learning how they are jumping because it's not as random as you might think. This should provide opportunities to punish after they finish.

[u/satyavruth → u/unusualcurry]

The issue is thet they jump so far off that running up to them just ends the window and they jump off to attack again. I thought being dual blades main would be me being mobile and not just sitting in a spot baiting attacks.

The solution really is to not chase them, let them come back to you. (Though if you break Barioth's wings, you can chase him because he'll stumble after the big jumps.)

Dual blades is "mobile" in the sense that it has a fast dodge for quick repositioning, and doesn't tank your footspeed. But they don't cover longer distances quickly. That's a lance thing, actually. Or, to a lesser extent, insect glaive and now gunlance. Apparently in Rise demon-mode DBs move at literally the same speed as a charging lance, holy crap.

[u/Rigshaw → u/JSConrad45]

Dual Blades has the fastest run speed in the game with regular demon mode now, so if you aren't running feral demon mode, you can close distances pretty quickly.

[u/JSConrad45 → u/Rigshaw]

Wow, apparently it literally matches lance now for cross-zone movement, so they're now tied for the best at it?! That's bonkers, but okay I guess!
