Tempered kirin - wtf?????

[jester]

so i'll just begin by saying that i've wasted 5 hours trying to beat this guy today and only got extremely close to killing him once. tried solo and coop with HBG/dual blades and i feel like i'm not going anywhere. i gave up the fully upgraded odogaron 4piece armor for the xeno jiiva set (lightning res from -8 to 14) and it's still not preventing the 1shot attacks. is there any solid strat against this monster?? this is the first boss that's taking more than 3 tries for me, and in my second session today i counted exactly 21 attemps

the only purpose tempered kirin is just to give you a PTSD..
don't worry,it's normal..

i'm immune to effects, i get oneshot by the horizontal lightning attack and the big and slow vertical lightning attack he does sometimes, which is a lot easier to dodge

yeah, Nuko there are just some attacks that you can't tank, most of his large strikes will always oneshot you. Simple strategy for the fight is to just stretch it out and make quick jabs at him and back off

thanks for the comment earlier, are there any weapons you'd recommend for solo?

Yep, those are the ones you want 30 light resist for. You can probably also pop a Elemental Resist Meal then a Max Potion or something for extra bonus points.

But seriously if you don't run maximum resist and health you can pretty much expect to die whenever you get hit with those two attacks.

Great sword crit draw build, easy.

While it may suck to fully build a new set and weapon, invest in a long or wide shell gunlance with artillery +3, guard+3 and guard up. Kirin is all about taking turns, and gunlance with G+3 and GU fully negates the damage and can block all of kirin's attacks, while also just shelling for days (I was getting 40s on my regular shells, and 90s with a charged)m which negates kirin's amped state that causes all attacks to bounce.

If you do go that route, look into focus to speed up the charge time shells, and speed sharpening if you have room, or are using a wide gunlance to help maintain sharpness (or whetfish+ if you farmed a ton of their scales or something).

the biggest thing to remember with this is to make sure you don't start a charged shell while there's an attack incoming, and you'll finish the hunt easily. I also take ghillie mantle to start the fight with a free wyvern's fire (if kirin doesn't agro when it sees you, save it for when it changes areas), then immediately swap to vitality mantle for some extra breathing room. It might not set a new speed run time, but it will serve you reliably as long as you don't get overly aggressive.

I recommened either Vaal Hazak's gunlance (level 3 long shells, average elder seal) or Xeno's (Level 3 long, low elderseal). For me, it came down to xeno's being easier to make, but both are great. However, If you plan to never charge a shot (which is safer but a bit slower), look at either bazel or jyuratodus (both wide 3).

I don't recommend any normal style lances as their shells are weak, and unless you know the fight well, you leave yourself VERY exposed while doing the full burst combo. Lance can work well too, the only down side is that it must hit the horn during the amped state, or it'll bounce, unlike GL shells which deal fixed damage regardless of where they hit (and only deal less damage in yellow sharpness)

You shouldn't be getting 1 shot apart from maybe 2 attacks that are both slow and well telegraphed. 3 points of the health boost skill and a max potion as well as some lightning resist, preferably 20 or more which also makes you immune to thunderblight. Those should be your top priority until you get good at the fight. Stun and paralyze resist are unnecessary, but helpful. Evade extender can also be useful but is probably a lower priority.

Kirin doesn't have a lot of health so take your time and don't overcommit. Hit a couple times when you get a chance then get out. When I killed it with switchaxe, I would generally use 2 light attacks after every opening then gtfo. Patience is key.

[SpaceWombat]

I main longsword and used the Extinction's Edge for the fights. I'd say for any weapon, just use demon buffs to increase your attacks as much as possible for when you do have openings to attack.

Beat him solo first time, then did it again for a friend and 2 others the second time.

Heres what your problem is, like many others.

Your not stacking Thunder Resistance.

Yea, many people cart, even Ranged users with their increased passive resistance, get carted hard.

20 isnt enough

30 isnt enough,

40+ is enough, 55 if you can manage it to really lower how much it does.

So get a set of Ingot gear, put on a thunder Deco, get some Blight resist and Stun resist, and their ya go, youll stop getting your ass handed to you.

Thats the problem with alot of new MH Players, they dont realize you gotta sometimes gear for the fight. Wait till Arch Tempered Kirin, your gonna have FUN then.

Gotten myself 53 THunder Resist, Blight, and Stun resist, Ingot gives Defense boost and Health boost. Had No issues.

It's called "set", not "build".

[Zatick]

With dual blades you can be very aggressive while you have your thunder mantle on, after that it's just a case of not being too aggressive. You should find that you can get a combo off on his head when he targets your palico with that front arc attack.

[SolusiRadikal]

Kirin in this series r too slow n predictable yet im wondering why ppl r still having a trouble fighting kelbi on steroid

Whe in doubt, light bowgun
If y want melee then get 4 set rathalos or minds eye.
Case solved

Fighting Kirin isn't about beating it as fast as possible but be as safe as possible. You generally only want to get 1-2 hit off before sheathing and wait for another chance to hit it again. Just don't get greedy, you have 50 minutes for the whole hunt. You can aim for better time after you gain some experience beating it.

[Ramumu]

Some general tips fighting against all Kirin:

1. Don't dodge by predicting an attack is coming, worst scnario by not dodging after your attacks is eating a physical attack, but if you simply dodge after your attacks by practice... usually you'll end up dodging into a lightning strike soon or later.

2. Aim for the head with a combo which gives the quickest time to be able to dodge after missed lightning strikes.

3. When truly hopeless and need to escape, hiding is a better option. You can find a spot or create your own spot to hide, shoot a slinger shots elsewhere, then start drinking your potion.
Kirin is always faster than you if you keep running away to escape, and you have no time to safely drink a potion with running away.

[Heroxoot]

Thunder mantle + thunder resist gems? You can use 2 mantles by that point.

[Waffles]

Tempered Kirin is one fight where you DON'T want to bring others with you.
Solo him, focus on dodging, and be PATIENT. Going greedy for lots of hits will kill you.
