Yup, fast kill times aren't always skill dependant. Most of the runs are just about the ideal set-up and knowing how to position yourself. After that it's really just farming for good RNG. However Akantore's Glavenus run right here is a good example of skillful, reactionary gameplay. Imo it's much more impressive to be able to consistantly counter a monster and play flawlessly rather than getting the WR speedkill. Not saying those things are mutually exclusive, but simply having the fastest kill times doesn't necessarily mean that person is the best or even one of the best in terms of skill.
Much has to do with how broken Fatalis gear is, it is easily 3x~5x better than everything else in the game. You hit the monster once then he is flinching, again and he gets knocked down. Add that to other stuns like wall bangs, and yeah everything that's not Fatalis itself is a pinata now
But he's not using Fatalis weapons in this video lol. I'm not even sure Fatalis was a thing when this came out.. Unless you're referring to the stunlock speedruns which I'd understand, although I think 3-5x better might be a bit of a stretch lol. Maybe 25-50% better @@affegpus4195

Hello. If anyone could help me here... At 0:48 , when Akantor is obscured by the Glav, you can see a silhouette of his hunter and weapon. 1. Was this always a feature in base world? Or is a new addition, or some kind of bug? Because I could have used that in 4U/Gen/GU. 2. Does it show up when you're obstructed by walls, too?
@Adam Stolar That's exactly correct. They look incredibly easy when speedrunners fight them because it looks like they hardly do anything, hence my commenyt. But when we fight them its an obviously different story they're assholes and move around like crazy
At 1:11 you guard point and follow it up with a lesser element discharge. How do you do this? I’ve been guard pointing in the training ground all day and can’t figure out how to perform this attack. Thank you!
0:54 can anyone help me? How did he do amped elemental discharge from sword mode? I tried to do it, but i have to do shield thrust first before doing amped elemental discharge
3:46 saed was casted. 3:51 there was no phial charge but he was able to cast it in his sword. Can someone explain to me how it was possible? I double checked there was no phials and just casted a saed. Im confused.
I could be wrong but is the beyblade move slower? It has a new visual effect but doesn't seem to happen as fast or go as far. Maybe I'm bugging. Dope ass run tho.
Ah yes, my favourite charge blade user bullying my second favourite fated four member, first being Astalos. I'll need to make this build so i can get away from the diablos meta which is no more in iceborne(thank god cause the weapon was dreadfully dull looking, only changing colours to black at the final upgrade, not even a bloody new shield look like the others, just turns black) keep putting out awesome vids AKX!
How are you charging your phials so quickly? I just started playing and love charge blade, but I struggle with generating phials, and also sharpness. I usually have to do a charge O - Triangle+O twice before I get red, but I keep seeing everyone else get full really quick. Is it a buff somewhere? As far as losing sharpness really fast, I think it's just because I have the Defender CB and it doesn't have much white sharpness so I just lose it really fast.
@@cyrak0333 you need 2 AT teostra tickets and 2 or 3 red orbs to make the layered armor. Then go to the item box and there should be an option to change layered armor
Hello man, really good run! I am starting right now to use chargblade but its quite hard for me to understand the concept (first monster hunter game + only played range weapons before). So my question is if I understand it right, that you mostly try to get an opening out by using guard point into X Counterttack? It would be really helpfull for me if you could answer. Until then, have a great time and keep it up with the runs ^^
It's a little bit more complicated than that I'm afraid. In some cases, Guard Point into SAED works, but in Iceborne monsters are pretty tanky and won't flinch after one of those Super Amped Elemental Discharges. You can always risk it, but you will leave yourself pretty open if the monster brshes it off, making it it almost a guarantee to get it afterwards. If you want a safer method, you can try the Savage Axe playstyle. Activate Savage Axe, to amplify your axe hits and stay in sword mode, until you knock down the monster, KO it with Guard Point -> AED and then go ham in axe mode. If you are wondering: "What does any of that mean? How do I do an SAED/AED? How do I activate Savage Axe?" then I'd recommend you to watch ArekkzGaming and Team Dark Sides Beginner and Advanced Charge Blade Guides. Sollte einfach zu finden sein.
I'm a LS main, but look at that smooth Shield, I want to master it but I dont understand the combos If theres Hunter V Hunter, I want to see Akantorex vs Canta
@Zoran mate that's just sad, I feel happy knowing that my nothing comment has made you waste that much time for something that doesnt matter in the slightest
Because capcom dont really know how to balance CB. After 4 Ultimate they've tried it in Gen, Gen U and World and failed every time. The only way to make anything other than SAED spam optimal is to revert the weapon to how it was in 4U. You lose the red shield buff if you use SAED which means you have to work your way back from 0 phials to everything buffed to use it again. People cried a lot back in 4U because the weapon was too OP but the way it works now is even more OP.
The guy's using a build optimised for spamming SAEDs. There are elemental and other builds that make use of savage axe over SAEDs for specific match ups, like monsters who move too much.
@@Ocean5ix I agree. CB in 4U really wasn't OP, it was a very skill dependant, reactionary weapon capable of dealing a ton of burst damage. If it needed a nerf, then in terms of motion values and not in terms of moveset. The moveset was perfect. Now we have Rise's CB and after maining it in 4U, GU, World and Iceborne, I stopped in Rise because CB is just a completely different weapon now. Savage Axe and the wirebug mechanics turned it into something that no longer resembles 4U's original design, which is by far my favourite. I'd argue Longsword's moveset was also the best in 3U/4U, once Valor Longsword became a thing it just became the brokenly OP noobstick in all following games.
What these guys said is correct. It’s more efficient to spam SAED but to be honest. Who cares? You play your way. I personally love savage axe slash and do a few axe slashes and then head back to sword and not use SAED. It’s all preference. But I also like Switch Axe a lot so I may not be credible lol
I can do the guard point but i dont get how he gets cash in phials and without finishing the animation his character just jumps to the side to doge an attack.
As your cb clicks together for the SAED, hold Y or triangle, whatever your top button is on your controller while pulling back on the left analog. Its great when you can't commit to the long ass animation of the SAED
@Zoran yeah just do the SAED like you normal do and after you press what you need to activate the SAED but before it goes off do the cancel move and it be the AED instead.
No. The reason is Phial Damage. TL:DR of it is, When Capcom Changed Phial Damage for Impact they made Base Attack the most important stat when calculating Phial Damage, *Technical details. Ignore if you dont care* They did this by removing the Artillery and Felyne Bombardier Scaling from Anything not Base True Raw. As well as Halving the Damage Scaling to Phials for such skills. anything not innately on the weapon (e.g. Attack Boost, Offensive Guard, Evasion mantle, AuL Food, HH buffs, NEB, you name it.) scales VERY Poorly for Phial Damage. Attack augments count as Base True Raw but literally everything else doesnt. *Technical Details Over* The long and short of it is. The Impact CB(s) With the highest Base Raw Attack before Stat increases will always be the best options for speedrunning. Thereby, Acid Glav, Black Blos, and Gold Rathian are the best Speedrunning Impact CBs since they have the highest Raw before buffs (290 True Raw, 1044 Listed) of all options. EDIT: This is Specific to Impact, Elemental CB is actually really good in MHW:IB and I know that. Dont need to be told.
Luna is really bad. Gold Rathian has same raw as Acid Glav with 10% more affinity and awesome slots and long natural white, but no non-elemental boost (which isn't that great for phial damage now).
Great, clean run Can anyone help me with a mixed set question? I'm running artillery 3 on the rarity 10 jagras CB, along with the usual damage boosters like NEB and high Attack. But my phials do around 89 damage for monsters like Glavenus and Brachy, for instance, while they do a lot more for earlier monsters like Rathian. Anyone knows what's up? I see Aki does around 115 in this video and I'm not doing anything that differently. The jagras CB is obviously weaker but the phial damage shouldn't be that different, I think
@@KotaroFumaa I use offensive guard, but not the evasion mantle. I don't think the evasion mantle would make that much difference, but I may be wrong. Why are my phials doing more damage to other monsters though? Did they change the fire portion of the motion values?
If it looks like fun and seems good why not make it? It all depends what playstyle you like, and you will most likely make several builds anyways so might as well test it for yourself. Zorah together with another set seems to be a solid setup anyway.
It really depends on your confidence in these Master Rank fights. Are you confident that you can consistently pull off SAED's with these monsters? If so, Artillery 5 would be worth it. I saw that meta Team Darkside Artillery 5 build, but I went my own route instead for survivability. Three pieces of Damascus, head chest and boots, beo waist, and one other piece I forget. Level 7 Defense Boost, Level 3 Health Boost, Level 4 Attack Boost, Level 2 Artillery, Level 3 Weakness Exploit, one extra level in Guard, Level 3 Focus, Non-Elemental, Capacity boost. Nice well-rounded survivability CB build with 960 Defense and all the fixin's for Charge Blade. I'm not trying to be a speedrunner.
So how exactly does he do that block so often? I never really got into world but with Iceborne I wanna try picking up this game and using the charge blade :)
You get it randomly at the end of any MR quest/investigation they always reward one R9 deco or maybe R10, you could kill 10 hornetaurs from MR investigation and try your luck

@@fellennar oh word?! I haven't been into the Selina house yet now that I think about it. Might have to look into this
@@fellennar I got a charm from him but not the razor sharp charm.
@@awesomesauce5974 there's multiple quests in the chain, the first one is for NEB and bludgeoner, second one gives razro sharp
So how exactly does he do that block so often? I never really got into world but with Iceborne I wanna try picking up this game and using the charge blade :)
But Where is Misses Glavenus?
Man I’m so glad you’re not using acid glav cb. That weapon’s sharpness is not good
Does that even matter for cb? Btw acidic has like 290 raw (for switchaxe tough so i guess its same) while others ranges 240-270.
I know so glad to see rathian cb finally see some love, been my fav since original release
@@obi-wan3916 oh yeah the azure skylark from 4 ultimate was hella dope!! Too bad that they change the design i liked the mix of pink and blue!! 😁🤙
Well if you have handicraft level 4 or 5 and the protective polish jewel it's not that bad!!! 😉😁👍
Sharpness is irrelevant for CB.
How do you farm those MR jewels? Specifically Guardian/Attack jewel? Thanks
At jagras
Mr monsters, its r n g. Not mr tempered those will mix gem rewards with augment mats.
You get it randomly at the end of any MR quest/investigation they always reward one R9 deco or maybe R10, you could kill 10 hornetaurs from MR investigation and try your luck
Yeah i know it's rng but it could be sniping, it's too fishy getting 3 guardian/attack jewel just relying on rng
What is this build?
a roar can be blocked by guarding?
If you want to learn CB, Akantore is the man to watch and learn from.
Great way to start your Ib Speedruns :D
I know u did the Endboss but that didn´t count xD
The boss that make me stop playing Icebir nas a dual blade main.
This was a beautiful duel, glavey-kun needs to hone his blade skills
Im learning Guard point on a real hunt!
