do all weapons take the same time to draw/put away?

[SahaKit]

so i just read a nergigante post so the ptsd kicked in and remembered that i was using the bow, nergigante stunned me with his roar and i was mashing to unsheathe my weapon as soon as i recover (to try to superman out of that), but couldn't and got dive bombed.

so it's the same or differs from weapon?

[Waffles]

Generally yes, though HBG is an exception.

No. Every weapon fits into a different sheathe speed.

Fastest are things like your dual blades, and slowest are your heavy bowguns and gunlances.

Heres a trick to Nergigante, you can predict his dive bomb easily.

There are 2 conditions that needs to be met in order for Nergigante to dive bomb.

1. His spikes must be all black
2. He always does a big roar before flying

If you see that, then you know you have sheathe your weapon after his big roar and get prepared to superman dive.

You can also wear the vitality mantle to help survive his dive bomb.

Otherwise, many things can change the speed of sheathing. There's a skill that speeds up sheathing.

Huh. I haven't noticed. Then again I only used CB, Bow and HBG. That's probably why.

Different weapons have different sheathe time. Usually the larger weapons are slower.

You can either beef up hp, defense, elemental defense to take it like a man, dodge with evade extend decorations or use sheath decorations and superman dive or a mix of everything.

With exception to hbg, every weapon gives you the time needed to sheathe and do supermandive from Nergigante dive. The trick is to just press and hold run button when he roars which will automatically sheathe your weapon and spam jump button while running away from him. I tested it all few months ago on ps4 and it work every single time with every weapon except hbg.

Here's a trick for nergigante; use the best skill in the game: earplugs and never get yourself or anyone on the team got divebombed again.

Also every time he try doing it, you flash him and it's a 6-7 second dps fest on him.

Sadly you don't "dps fest" him at all when all his weakspot is hardened. Flashing him when he's about to dive to remove his black spike is the worst decision ever.

Yeah, ok. Saving your teammates' life is the worst decision ever indeed.

Saving them from what? Their inability to do a superman dive? That's something that everyone should have learned after finishing its story quest.

I know Lance takes much longer, but I dont know about the rest.

The game never explains how or why to superman dive. Just a FYI. There's nothing telling a player that he's immune to damage while he's laying flat on the floor.

Its a different matter if someone comes to the forum where people will inform them about it, but to assume everyone just knows is a bit ridiculous.

Especially given the idea that falling flat faced on the ground is usually considered a bad thing, not a good one.
