real lame and cheap flagship monster

[BeastKingSmash]

and GS sucks against him no one can change my mind about that

Start using the offset

[ZexxCrine]

Use the offset and perfect guard.

As for the camera, either up your turning speed if that’s even an option. I haven’t checked if that’s an option because most players are probably just gonna change the camera settings to refocus so that the camera works like it did in the older games. When the monster jumps behind you, refocus the camera.

You can also draw into block by pressing both attack buttons and the guard button with your weapon sheathed. The same as it always has been and was in world.

Start playing with partial focus camera, so that when you press L1 the camera targets the monster position.

oh and good luck landing the offset counter on Arkveld, literally gambling with your life there

this is like the most useless move of all the weapons in the game... what is the point of giving GS a counter if it's not viable ?

Arkveld is one of the easier monsters to land it on, but also as ppl already said perfect guard. You should be guarding to cancel animations at the end of your attack anyway, if you still struggle get quick-sheathe and do a bunch of running around and unsheathe attacks, which makes any monster a joke for GS.

It's not, GS has the second easiest offset. OP is probably just angry.

Upgrade your armor. Also the offset attack on greatsword is incredibly overpowered. It’s probably the best offset in the game. It’s so easy to fish for, you can roll out of it and keep doing it, landing it gives you a crazy strong follow-up.

I understand if you personally don’t like the mechanic. That’s one thing. However, calling it bad is just ignorant.

skill issue

[AH-1 Cobra]

I'm not even a GS main, I didn't even play it in Rise, and I barely played it in world, and I still managed to beat a 5 star tempered arkveld using a GS, so if you call yourself a GS player and can't beat one, you gotta be like the biggest cuck old on the planet.

I used the perfect guard, and the tackle to deal with his attacks, some of his moves are too fast to setup for an offset attack, the only move I used the offset on was his highly telegraphed double chain slam attack.

second easy he says

show me how often you land it during a hunt then

literal skill issue HOLY

[Peez Machine]

The offset attack window is huge, just err on the side of releasing it early. If all else fails, just stand in from of him and block everything, perfect or otherwise. You'll take a little chip damage and move on.

lol that's not how it goes, if all else fails you get smacked for half your health, that's what happens when you fail to land the counter bro
