I like how much of a subversion of expectation Zena is. It's appearance makes you initially percieve it as an edgelord type monster, like Stygian Zinogre, but then you see more of it and find out that your first impression was actually the opposite of what it turns out to be. He uses the least edgy element in the game, moves gracefully like a ballet dancer, has one of the chillest themes, makes rainbows with it's attacks, all the antithesis of edgy.
@@dynamo_lynn Also (i don't know If you are already aware of that or not, because your main weapons seem to be Hammer and Bow) you can cut both his wing tendrals off with slicing type weapons and then carve them, which i personally find amazing You also said in the description that he's based on bats, but there are a lot vampire squid elements on it's design too. Vampire squid, bats, vampires, everything matches
@@athos9293 Yeah I was aware, my AI teammates cut on his tendrils in a few hunts and it's always really hype when that happens, the tail can be cut as well.
Alright so, having finally gotten to this hunt - I CAN'T EVEN SOLO IT 😭 Mad respect for this hunt dawg, like the positioning against the wing swipes when it turns around I never even noticed until i tried to hunt this myself. I'm definitely getting carried by the NPCs in this game, man...
Good luck with Z4 Gasura when you need to max his hammer, he is a menace. Its interesting to see some exotic pieces on your set, instead of other zenith ones.
@@strikerali2160i know, "over the top" and "over designed" is usually brought up as criticism by peope who shouldn't even be taken seriously, that's what i mean
I’m usually someone who likes to argue the “over designed” point, but this is Frontier. Frontier is not my domain. Frontier is where stuff gets crazy for no other reason than “it’s cool lol” and that’s fine by me. If he does come to the main series, maybe tone some parts down, but honestly the wing whips are a cool unique identifier, realistic or not. At least his design has direction, unlike some other monsters.
Thats because that argument usually involves zenith monsters, especial the one that isnt originally from frontiers. The og frontier monsters are hella cool
Good run, hope you can upload more Frontier related videos ,since watching them and redaing the description you give on your videos makes ne appreciate more the game (Not related,but what are your thoughs on min min from smash, i was looking to get the game, and she looked interesting)
I don't know if you're taking requests but could we at one point get a wide poke shelling run in sunbreak? This playstyle feels so weird and alien to me personally beacuse it's so stationary in contrast to the rest of the game. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
This is irrelevant to the video but it's fine... I already have two videos with Wide shelling: ruclips.net/video/NwC9B0grkg8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/_ggw19HUEes/видео.html The reason I didn't make any more is because Wide is just too weak and falls off too hard at the endgame.
@@dynamo_lynn i was talking about poke shelling not pure shelling, the act where stab then shell. But thanks for digging out the links and taking your time to answer, appreciate it.
@@Mik-kv8xx It'll be about the same, pokes on GL are kinda weak and if you couple that with Wide which is even more weak then yeah, it's a good playstyle during regular MR progression but when you hit Afflicted monsters close to endgame it gets bad.

You're so real for that

@@dynamo_lynn and that cripples him more than some zenith partbreaks
I like that the water sort of emphasizes the strength of hammer attacks.
Such a sick fight. This map is so gorgeous and so is the ost. I wish I could actually like... get to this part of the game...

These hammer attack animations are epic. First time watching gameplay of this game. Fucking greatness
So cool how you used the hammer’s entire toolkit
love the hammers in frontier, the reach looks so nice
Zena is one of my fav monsters in frontier (I never played it)
i like this monster. Imo some frontier monsters should come back for future games. Nice run btw
Good luck with Z4 Gasura when you need to max his hammer, he is a menace. Its interesting to see some exotic pieces on your set, instead of other zenith ones.
Glad to see this is a monster you really like. It’s one that I hear get the usual “too many spikes discussion around it
"too many spikes" isn't even a serious discussion that serious people have
@@athos9293 When I say too many spikes, I mean the complaint about being “over designed”

Don't really have much to say, she's a campy character with a high skill ceiling, her moveset isn't exactly like other characters in the game

@@dynamo_lynn thx for the insight
Is it just me or those charge attacks look like sunbreak's impact crater 🤔🤔
I'm a stranger to Frontier so yea 😅
where do you think they got it from lol
It's Dungeon Monsters
Uff 🔥
