What is the point of Apex monsters?

[Rizo the Hunter]

Seriously, aside from them being a tad more difficult than their regular counterparts, what is even the point of having them in the game?

You cannot craft armor nor weapons from them. So unless you want, in my case as a CB user, the pointless rampage weapons, there really is no reason to them even being in the game.

They're way more fun than their normal counterparts, and their materials are needed to craft some of the best weapons and decos.

This tweet could hint at the return of hyper monsters in Sunbreak, or something like them.

while they re sligthly more difficult to deal with, it still doesnt justify such a reward imho.

world, as general was much much more difficult than this, so i can understand. and you needed to kill more monsters in general for your desired equipment. that was an achievement on its own again imo. but this s really walk in the park.

idk call me oldskool,awkard or anything type of gamer. but for me, the rewards always should scale with difficulty.

I mean, they had their own armor set's when they were deviants and apex ripped the concept and movesets from deviants as is so it makes sense they'd also bring in the armors.

apex is like the tempered monsters but with a different name
they are tougher but not borderline op

Not really . Tempered monsters from tempered investigations in World are just increased damage “Randomly” depending on investigations you have . Some increase abit and some increase more . Only 2 tempered that break the rule are Tempered Golden Deviljho and Tempered Furious Rajang from event quests . They both have fixed damage multiplier and also more HP multiplier . That’s all .

Meanwhile Rise Apex monsters are
- Different appearance . Mostly color changes and damaged scratch marks in their skin .
- Have completely different new attacks . These new attacks shared from Devarients from Generation Ultimate . Eg , Apex Mizutsune have some Soulseer Mizutsune’s moveset but not blind and Apex Diablos have some moves of Bloodbath Diablos but not having twisted horn .
- Different Hit Zone Values .
- Different Monster entries in your Hunter Note .

So saying apexes are like world’s tempered is insults to apexes . They are entirely new monsters . They deserve their own armor and weapons .

To answer OP , yes Apexes not having their own armor is my only complaint in Rise . Currently , their mats are used for Rampage Weapons and if you finished crafting these weapons , you can use apex mats for Talisman melding . Each apex mats gives like 100 points ( not sure ) . Also emergency apex quests drop Rampage Tickets . But if you are doing emergency apex hunts , you probably have fully upgraded Rampage weapons . So these tickets also go to melding . In conclusion , emergency apex quests are for challenge , fun and you will have top tier talisman melding materials as bonus .

They're meant to replace Deviants...when only like, 2 of them are actually better than the Deviants. But yeah, aside from Mizutsune and Zinogre, they're nothing special.

lol @people who say apexes are working as intended, it's like you don't know the game development was halted due to covid and they had to painfully deliver the game bit by bit.
Obviously without covid we would have had apexes armor and/or more apexes. Or more content in general.

Ahh yes Covid. The convenient excuse for everything.

[Metaspark]

You use their materials to upgrade rampage weapons

Other than that they’re just there for the challenge, + a fun nod to deviants of the past (give me my Soulseer Mizutsune armor cowards)

Apex Lagumbi with a playboy-inspired outfit needs to be included in a patch or Sunbreak. Missed opportunity otherwise.

[Greb]

To make people who hate capturing monsters happy and also to give people like me a laugh when people attempt to place a trap to catch them at low HP.

Heh. Ho ho! Ha ha ha!

But for real they should have been a lot nastier, capable of laughing at your pathetic builds more than just stuff like Earplugs 5 not working against them, and they should have been every monster in the game especially the dumb trash filler ones like Lagombi and Izuchi...and they should all have had an Apex armour sets of their own.

It was more of a let down than anything that killing a bunch of Apex monsters was just the key to getting Rarity 7 weapons, instead of unlocking any cool armour. One of my friends finished playing that night and never came back because of that lol.
