At the cost of just spamming FRS instead of doing any sort of cool morph combos :(

HH is bad everywhere but for Gore Magala speedruns, apparently there's an ongoing bug with wounds been hit multiple times with echo bubbles.

Nah in MHG on ps2 lance was the best weapon in the game because one had extremely broken damage and unlimited combo with backstep

???
I use morph combos all the time, they're quick damage for poking and building gauges. FSR if toppled/stunned/paralyzed, but otherwise it's just morph combos while I wait for an opening. Might ZSD if I see my sword meter about to run out. Is it the "optimal" way to play? No. But it's way more fun and Fun > Optimal.

Paralyze Charge Blade is one of the strongest weapons alongside Bow atm.
So I don't know what those people are thinking, maybe they just complain about everything

People complained that you are forced to perfect block or wound enemies to charge the pizza cutter.

Nonsense of course

Im a gunlance chad. very strong weapon, if we had an artian option im pretty sure it would be the strongest weapon in the game, its purely the lack of slightly strong/wide shelling on artian that puts as a little behind charge blade and bow.
