Lose the HR armor and use MR armor already

[AtlasGen]

I noticed that there are still some people still wanting to keep their favourite drachen armor in MR still despite the lower defence which makes them die to even the body flop from Ishvalda. THE BLOODY BODY FLOP. Its already weird to be using HR armor in the final boss of Iceborne.

I know that you still want your MAX DEEPS but you just ain't no speedrunner with godly precise dodging capabilities. Its just time to lose them and rely on some MR armor that would increase your survivability rate by a lot.

I changed out my armor as soon as I hit Iceborne. I went from full Bazel to MR Bone Armor right away. And it served me well until I started getting a mix of Tigrex and Uragaan Armor together.

What I'd love to know is how those people got to the final boss without MR armor. Even in MR armor, monsters like Tigrex, Glavenus, and Brachydios could be really devastating, if they hit you.

The game is notably easier solo, so they probably just did that and are getting tripped up in multi. I dropped my HR set after Barioth, personally, but I probably would've been fine up to Acid Glav, Barioth was harder than a good few of the assigned monsters following him.

is it safe to sell high rank armor? been thinking of it but wasnt sure. I already finished the expansion and wasnt sure If I should scrap them

SOS can get you anywhere after a lot of tries

If you're into some deep end optimisation keep some of it, like drachen set and elder gamma armor. Generally just stuff that is timegated. Most speedrunner sets that run teostra bonus usually use the gamma helmet for example for deco slot.

If not, then just ditch it. The difference is truly minimal.

dranchen its obsolete as soon you get Narcaguca, its the same thing people.

Augmented and Fully upgraded HR armor, Gobbler +3, Mega Potions x infinity.
Dodge, hit, drink. repeat.
It can be done.

Only up to shara? I went up to The Silver rathalos (mr 70) rocking my xeno gamma parts and other things that were part of my long gunlance build, after killing him twice I dropped it for the zoranh + silver los with blackveil vall hazak GL , that was a wild ride, full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and one shots, hardest part for sure was brachydios because his slime was invisible for me for some reason , yikes.

"Narcaguca" set isn't even remotely close to what drachen is. The closest thing in MR that comes to mind is Brute Tigrex set.

It is actually better considering you do not die as much. People forget that you do not DPS while you are dead.
Btw... the teostra armor let you do exactly the same people were doing in HR with the dranchen armor. Master's touch + 100% affinity.

I kept mine, in case a friend starts the game and wants some help without me trivializing the content up to Iceborne. Also, so I remember which pieces to shoot for in MR, provided they have similar skills.

The first couple monsters I did in my old Odogaron set but then I decided "I could use a little more defense" and decided to bird up with Kulu Ya-Ku's set. Lasted me until the MR version of what I wore before.

the difference between you and the most ive seen is that they arent using one of the safest playstyle that could let people carry you. Im not surprised u can even solo albeit may take time to kill them. But most people doesnt do that.

I'm using Shara as an example since i frequently went on SOS to get the plates as well as the mantle and see a lot of people geting oneshotted by basic attacks. I just noticed most of them are using drachen armor still. That and they just don/t know how to upgrade their armor (this one is quite few).
