OHKO mechanics are bad game design

[Illiaz]

Fully leveled zorah armor, mega armorskin potion, armor charm, max hp bar and defense boost L. and still nergigante can 1 hit me? Why even have armor in the game then?

[Village Idiot]

lol, you think this is bad? You should play 4U VS Lv140 monsters.

Whenever I went up against him the first time on the PC version I had fully upgraded HR girros set with the gs to go with it, and even if I went full blown potato and didnt dodge or block it didnt one shot me feels bad man

Skydive bomb is relatively easy to avoid.As long as you roll 3 times successfully when you're out of covering your ears,you will be fine.I only get hit by the skydive bomb if I try to sheathe my weapon and do a superdive(every single time)

Getting real sick of how often getting hit once by a monster stuns, jsut gonna find any armor that has stun resist and find earplugs cuz the yells are just cancer, from every dumb ass monster.

Once you get some amount of physical defense, a single hit shouldn't stun you. It always takes 2-3 hits to stun you. Stun is like any other status, it builds up from multiple hits with the exception of very specific attacks (tzitchi's forehead flash).

Avoid being hit more than once in a short period of time, you won't be stunned.

Avoid being hit at all, you won't be stunned, poisoned, paralyzed, sleeped, or anything else.

This game is all about not being hit by things and learning when to attack so you don't get hit.

It can be done. Even without quick sheathe dookie builds. God speed my friend, one day you shall dive a righteous dive and turn to break his horn in retaliation.

or you know just get stun resist so you can never be stun by anything not even flashbangs flash move. ^^^^ honestly not being able to be stunned is the best. some off tzitchi's armour (I go with the vambrace) and a charm or jewel if you have one and bam ya immune to stun.

Zorah armour is fine for it. Have to dodge the dive.

if you're getting one shot you need better armor/more defense. end of story.

Not when you meet him third time.

ElderDragons arent your typical monster with a fancy name. Lore wise and ingameplay they have very seperate mechanics.

This includes instant death attacks. Nergi-dive ofc.
Tao's Nova and Vaal's beem.
Kusha is too much of a weakass to ever use his... unless its that thing that negates my block... but that never kills me...
Idk if Kirin has one.
Zorah and Xeno are story specific and(imo) stupidly easy. Which is fine. I dont think they follow normal gameplay rules for elders though. So no 1shots(with decent armor).

They arent even consistant, which is kinda the point. For example I shrug off Negi-dive with block but eat hot-peppered ♥♥♥♥ when hit with Nova, block or no block. Vaal's beem is also rng for 1shot. Sometimes it just tickles me, sometimes it instantly procs ephluvium debuff if not immune. Sometimes, "FEAR THE REAPER" and Im waking up to a disgusted (learn to dodge) face on my palico.

Elders also have different trap/capture related rules.

Anywang, moral of the story is, put that weapon away and dive mfer DIVE!

[Uranus Queen]

craft other armor set, Zorah have very low defense compare to other HR set

if you have 300+ armor and 150+ HP you won't get one shot from dive bomb

[Ragosta tin Dei]

If this was the first time Nergi encounter then yeah there are armor builds that cannot withstand Nergi's enraged divebomb. Even with a weapon that adds defense, you will redline/cart. You will need to flash or divebomb or simply get out of the way. However, HR Nergi (after first encounter) is a different story. This assumes you have augmented gear or hell just higher HR which means your armours base def can hit 72 per piece. Then, Nergi cannot 1 shot you. Even tempered Nergi can only 1 shot you if you're either using tier 6 armours or you just don't like augmenting.

[Xilo The Odd]

unless you really upgrade your zorah armor, your not gonna survive. its defense is too low. late game when you can augment armor to increase its defense cap it might be viable but till then your better off trying to make other elder dragon armors.

literally git gud
