Man, watching this makes me realize that I need to be taking *A LOT* more advantage of side hops. You were dancing around Espinas like it was nothing! The fact that he even leaves himself open for a full volley after his two most common moves is huge too. I never thought this would be such a positive match-up! Also, I feel like a bit of a doofus for not considering Chaos Gore's HBG, because I was still using Shagaru's up till now. 😅 Thank you again, Mai! This is exactly what I wanted to see! Oh, and that triple stagger while firing a full volley at 2:30 was immensely satisfying.
chaos is just super good and easy to setup with aff etc so its definitely strongest gun for pierce overall. Im actually thinking of trying my luck at running another lvl 200 quest with valor hbg
woaah i didn't know you could do that 1:20 slide then crouch fire same feels in gu valor hbg and the kushala layered is really nostalgic. nice run mai 🤍
I honestly didn't even know that HBG had a step evade until this video came into my recs, my instinct every time I've played either bowgun is to stop aiming before I try to dodge. Maybe I oughta give Heavy the old college try again with that in mind lol
hbg is better at everything except maybe normal 3 lol I can see spread 3 lbg being better only from a certain playability standpoint but thats not often at all
I was going to ask why Kushala HBG. And then I forgot: Layered weapons exist. I dum. Also, good re-enacting of the most famous HBG style in MH history.
didnt think it was possible for hbg to get even more busted when the devs know how broken elemental pierce is but here we are back again. stole your build and had extreme fun against afflicted diablos so thanks for that
@@mailbg9704 so i noticed, with pierce i didnt need to restock at all while i would have with elemental pierce. crouching fire also feels way more satisfying i'd say
I feel like augments are equally or even more so of the set than some talismans. Considering you can get up to 2 good skills per armor piece vs a tali maxes at the 4-5 with certain slots
That's because Pierce 3 doesn't get much benefit from Setting Sun. Its damage ticks are already really close together and they don't hit all that hard individually. Elemental Pierce, however, is the opposite of that. It has very high individual tick damage with a long gap, so shortening that gap and getting more hits is extremely strong (borderline overpowered even), hence why Setting Sun is always used in conjunction with that shot type instead.
also good luck getting a monster to stand still enough for setting sun pierce 3 to ever be "useful" and on another note its actually better to have the ticks spaced cause it can sometimes allow hits from the side or behind to hit a weak spot more while with setting sun all hit would get absorbed on a less weak point
Im a total bowgun noob so I'm confused with the build. Does Mai only have 50 aff? 25 from weap+wex1+CE 2? Is CB3 worth it anyways? What skills should i prioritize when running pierce HBG? Im trying to pick up a ranged weapon for the first time in my MH career so it's a lot to learn PS: Seems like more than 50% aff rewatching the footage, what am I missing?
I only use quickstep on lbg so its not much different. Its almost like you get over confident with walk n shoot and more prone to getting hit sometimes cause you think you can just walk through everything.

Even using the Kushala HBG layered for nostalgia, love it.
I had to lol

@@mailbg9704 Oh!? Well I'll be eager to see which monster you choose! 👀

poor espinas didn't get a single break. This is a really amazing run lovey 💖
Dude HBG in this update after the crouching fire buffs is so fun, good run!
I honestly didn't even know that HBG had a step evade until this video came into my recs, my instinct every time I've played either bowgun is to stop aiming before I try to dodge. Maybe I oughta give Heavy the old college try again with that in mind lol
Bruh this looks so good! Might try it when SB comes to PS!
Cool stuff, not enough Bowgun content creators
Incredible run!
It's good that playstyle like this are back again and is really effective.. Kinda hated the Sticky META.. Feels like we're playing Bowguns again.
Amazing Run
What a legend
the rapidfire pierce sounds tho~
Oh yeah even woth the Kush HBG, nice run
HBG Pierce in TU3 so FUN 😋😋🤠🤠
fun and really strong
welcome back, really good run
can i ask your opinion about lbg and hbg? which one are better dps wise
hbg is better at everything except maybe normal 3 lol I can see spread 3 lbg being better only from a certain playability standpoint but thats not often at all
Outstanding run! With this playstyle of HBG, is raw pierce the best overall choice?
Siege normal does really well but pierce generally has the edge even if slight in some cases
I was going to ask why Kushala HBG.
And then I forgot: Layered weapons exist.
I dum.
Also, good re-enacting of the most famous HBG style in MH history.
Hot damn, now I wanna try HBG again... I just need to fix up a set without that many Augments lol (I got burntout by Anomaly grinding)
didnt think it was possible for hbg to get even more busted when the devs know how broken elemental pierce is but here we are back again. stole your build and had extreme fun against afflicted diablos so thanks for that
actually pierce isnt busted when compared to ele but overall pierce has way more practicality
@@mailbg9704 so i noticed, with pierce i didnt need to restock at all while i would have with elemental pierce. crouching fire also feels way more satisfying i'd say
its a nice variety and yeah satisfying
This playstyle looks sick, is it viable for other monsters too? Doesn't have to be meta
its basically only usable with pierce ammo so it works well on everything
@@mailbg9704 Nice, cheers!
@@mailbg9704 normal 3 crouching does a ton of dmg too
Normal has an even bigger clip then pierce in crouching shot mode
If only there was a switch skill so you could always get hop instead of roll on HBG
id much prefer that over the fatroll
brother got half the build in his talisman👌.. rarity 7 also ... i wish i had your luck bro
I feel like augments are equally or even more so of the set than some talismans. Considering you can get up to 2 good skills per armor piece vs a tali maxes at the 4-5 with certain slots
Have you tried using this with the Setting Sun silkbind to boost pierce procs? I notice that nobody really ever runs that and wonder why

Is this build good or is inconsistent? I love valor hbg
Just started playing, How do you get those control tips around your wirebug gauge? Awesome run can't wait till I can do that.
did they buff the crouch fire in 3.0? don't remember anyone using it really before now
yep. 3 more shots and much faster ramp up speed plus a 4ish sec faster cooldown
@@mailbg9704 ah, fun.
Hey Dani, you here buddy?
DaninyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Incredible step. Can you play this with Chaotic Gore Magala or Scorned Magnamalo? I try many times cannot beat them with HBG
can do it with any monster tbh
does anyone know what razor sharp does for gunners?

Is the chaos magala Hbg better then the scorned Hbg?
Miss u bro
no u
god damnit
W
Gold Crown?
These quests have fixed values im pretty sure. HP and size at least
how do you consistenly hop without rolling?
do u tink they will buff Spread Ammo with Crouching shot too? i want fun with Spread like pierce too 😅😅😢😢
You hop around like a lbg, so nimble.
it feels more nimble than lbg at times its weird
@@mailbg9704 Its probably cuz LBG slide lasts longer than just a side hop lol
I only use quickstep on lbg so its not much different. Its almost like you get over confident with walk n shoot and more prone to getting hit sometimes cause you think you can just walk through everything.
@@mailbg9704 I remember walking through stuff back in Tri, Deviljho's Lord of the Dance had the perfect opening for that.
MH GU vibes ❤
