Someone explain to me abt "Mind's eye" buff

[Gouda]

I'm stupid enough to understand what "deflected less" means.. Can somebody explain to me about this buff? and is it meta? which weapon is good using this decor??

Hard Targets are armored targets that take significantly reduced dmg and make your weapon bounce.

Mind's Eye eliminates the bounce chance and makes you deal more dmg to the hard target but not more than you are losing attacking the hard target to begin with.

Attack a better location to deal more dmg than attacking the hard target location with increased dmg.

Deflected just means when your weapon bounces off and stops your combo, like what happens when your weapon sharpness goes very low.

Its very noticable for something like say Gravios. Normally you bounce off him constantly and because of that its hard to sling a combo together.
Put in minds eye 2 and you can suddenly combo on him easily cause your attacks never get deflected.

To be honest thats the only use cause i have found for minds eye, unlike previous games wilds seems to be very forgiving when it comes to hard monster parts and having your weapon bounce.

Maybe later monsters will appear like pink rathian where it might be relevant.

Not really meta, since most people value sharpness for the bonus damage, and hitting weak spots.

The best use for it (in my opinion) is for dual blades, particularly if the set you're wanting to use doesn't have good sharpness in the first place. It lets you just keep up aggression and not have to stop to sharpen constantly. It's more of a lazy luxury more than a helpful benefit though.
