Mizutsune

Is it just me or is it wierd that they are introducing Mizu in a title update rather than in the base game?

Mizu is a pretty easy monster, so its strange that we would fight him after gore and arkveld.
REALLY hope they just turbo buff him bc I want to be able to farm monsters other tempered gore/arkveld.

Yeah, I'm assuming Tamamitsune/Mizutsune will be buffed. It's always been a super easy fight, so I would expect it to get a buff.

I do not think it is weird. It is a nice touch after Monster Hunter Rise. I think she does not need to have appear so soon again after that, in favour of a newer monster - but still a nice touch, considering Monster Hunter Wilds has so much fanservice to begin.

And especially after Monster Hunter Rise she would have felt misplaced to begin with in the ecosystem - but with the story ending the gates are now open for new species from all across the world to come and rise.

on capcom's website for wilds mizutsune is described as a Leviathan, so she will have a similar strength to other Leviathans i think.

mizu's always been a leviathan, that's never changed. leviathans aren't strictly insanely crazy strong either, just look at royal ludroth.

yeah but look hirabami is leviathan class too :D

That is unexpected. I certainly did not recognised it as leviathan. More like a bandworm.

theyll probably make a regular LR and HR mizu because as the game is unfinished, there will be a lot of monsters to fill in biome lists, Kulu is another one that was in a leak and I don't think they're going to powercreep a Kulu that high either.

What you're all missing is the "strength" system with the purple stars. It's night and day fighting one at 1 vs 5. 5 star tempered rathalos is a legit fight and they might do somth with mizu. Better yet, they could make a Guardian version the end game version of the fight (could even do the same with Kulu)

it'd make more sense as a snake wyvern tbh, but i think leviathans have more or less replaced snake wyverns as a concept by this point, rip najarala

Now I am sad. Najarala is one of my most favourite monsters in the series.

Really hard to say. Its quite easy in Rise but you never know how they are going to tweak it. Like barioth, that thing was a menace in World Icebourne. It was then super easy in Rise. Kushala was also a breeze to kill compare to World.

[Melancholy Hill]

i mean, all things considered, wilds' current power scaling is kind of low. the strongest monsters in the game from a lore perspective would be gore and arkveld, the former is an inexperienced juvenile and the latter is a monster that's only at full potential when fighting a monster with elemental abilities (something like diablos would probably body arkveld hard, if it didn't just fly away that is). mizu could arguably fit in to late game considering that.

[Scraps]

If Rajang is anything to judge between World and Rise alone, Capcom could easily flip the difficulty switch for Mizu. There's definitely ways they can make those bubbles spooky.

She?
You do realize that all Mizutsune we see in game are males right?
