I've just slain my first blangonga (fuck, hes fast) and i'm starting to rev up for fighting the Daora again. What are some good mid-tier sets to look out for? whether it's a mixed build or not, doesn't matter to me. But im currently running a mix of kut ku and battle and i'm looking at trying to upgrade before i fight kushala for real, i repelled him very easily but he did hit me like a truck.

what weapons are you using? im assuming you have atk up M from the kutku + battle armor, which honestly should do you fine for most of village depending on what weapon. unfortunately atk up falls off really hard and gets outclassed by sharpness+1 really hard, which is a skill you should work towards at some point.

sharpness+1 is NOT granted with the sharpness skill, the sharpness skill mitigates sharpness loss when your attacks bounce. handicraft is what gives sharpness+1, which increases your weapons sharpness level, and can bump a weapon from green to blue or blue to white. my brain can never seen to remember this distinction in the old games, and im probably still mixing names up :lol: that said, razor sharp is still an excellent skill to have too.

skills are gonna vary a lot depending on what weapon you want, your play style, and the kinds of strategies you're using

She uses exclusively Dual Blades.

Oh yeah, i'm def looking for a handicraft build as fast as i can. I wanted to fight a Pink Rathian but unfortunately i think i need a weapon with blue to fight her as my attacks bounce off a lot even with green.
I mostly play the quick weapons, dual blades and sword and shield, as well as longsword since i find it's really reliable and the easiest for me to control w the stick. I heard handicraft is the only way to reach white sharpness on a weapon in this game too, It's the main skill i build my sets around in tri as similarly that game can only get purple sharpness if you have +1, and the attack modifiers for sharpness are def better than the raw damage from attack up m. I don't know if razor sharp and handicraft null eachother out deco-wise like they do in MHFU and Tri unless you build it correctly, but i assume Ceanataur armor probably has one of those skills?
