Helps that the 3-piece Narga set bonus is a better version of the Xeno one.

Favorite fights so far are Barioth and Narga. So fast paced, I love that shit.
Also thankful for the Switchaxe flinch buff. Master rank Rathalos is a complete douchebag.

Though Iām a little disappointed they didnāt change narga up a little bit to throw off vets. I mean I enjoyed the fight, but I bodied the hell outta him. Barioth was much harder.
Bariothās speed is crazy.
I donāt know how GS hunters can deal with that thing!!

Best fight IMO is Namielle.
Shara Ishvaldaās second form is also cool, however the first form is a bit of a slog.
Among the Fanged Wyverns heās probably the most annoying. Donāt have as much trouble with him compared to the others as GS.
Fighting barioth, brachy and glavenus with switchaxe makes me feel like Iām using a greatsword.
Buffs were cool, but Iceborne really highlights where the weapon is still weak.

Coral Pukei might as well be called Elder Dragon practice due to the amount of beams and beam shenanigans the Iceborne Elders do. Only Ruiner Nerg doesnāt have any beam weaponry. Meanwhile Shara Ishvalda goes full Shin Godzilla.

Brachydios is the hardest monster to solo with SA so far for me.
Handed Barioth its ass with this Longsword:
ā¦speaking of ass!!
ā¦SPOILERS BELOW!!!
*THOT HUNTER FASHION TIME!!*
Glav is a lot easier than I expected, but still fun. Narga is great, Barioth was the first monster that triple carted me but he prepped me for the others. Tigrex is annoying but also not that interesting, I donāt get the love. Brachy is pretty sick though.

Yeah Odoās armor looks amazing in general. I love the dog ears on the hat for the female version lol

Female Namielle armor is straight up an inkling from Splatoon.
A lot of Glavenusā moves lost their tracking properties because they were made with hunter styles in mind.

Unlocked Nagacura and Glavenusās quests!!
And I so want that Naga armor and LBG!!
Man the way shrieking legiana takes off mid fight and shoots back is fucking sweet!
They better add valstrax.

Soloāed Nagacura and Glavenus last night, without carting!!
They almost came close but I prevailed.
Fighting Glavenus with a charge blade was extremely fun!!

Finally upgraded Dark Devourer to Endless Famine. Getting consistent triple digit damage of individual sticky 3 shots going off is so fun.
Also been playing with the extra customization slots. Adding in a long barrel and ranged attack up lets me play artillery from afar. However going with 4 recoil suppressors is probably going to be meta for damage.
EDIT: Speaking of Savage Jhoā¦
Spoiler
Savage Pickle ties with medium tier Elders (Velkhana, Blackveil Vaal, Namielle). The turf war itself is amazing, with them doing a full DBZ style beam war that blows up in their faces.

Up to the Azure Rath/Acid Glav tier but before moving on I want to get better at Brachy. I think Iāve only failed a quest of his once in 11 but I just canāt get used to the neutral so I never beat him cleanly. Itās so fucking hard to get chances to hit his head, his arms always get in the damn way and his openings are so short if you donāt already have the perfect positioning it feels like.
