After fighting all MR monsters what were your least and most liked? (From a solo perspective)

[Kirage]

After just fighting Runiner Nergigante for MR 100 mission and having fought all the monsters in MR excluding tempered elder dragons. Also I exclusively used DB the whole way through.
I was wondering what monsters stood out to ppl as fun or un-fun fights?

Top 3 un-fun:

1.Tigrex - Extremely annoying moveset constantly running over and around you and generally a tedious and un-fun fight and Brute Tigrex is very similar.

2. Shrieking Legiana - Constantly in the air with big AOE ice blight attacks.

3. Velkhana - Constantly moving around and a lot of super quick high damage large AOE attacks.

Top 3 fun:

1. Fulgur Anjanath - Very well telegraphed attacks clearly gets more active and dangerous as it charges up, one of the fastest get up times after being knocked down.

2. Diablos - Again very well telegraphed and has distinct tells for most of its moves and well balanced speed.

3. Ruiner Nergigante - An improvement on regular Nergigante in pretty much every way with only a couple of annoying moves but still very fun.


Overall had great fun in Iceborne and looking forward to playing more and can't wait for new monsters!

Also as a side note what fights did you come close to failing or failed? - For me both Tigrex & Brute Tigrex went down to the last cart.

Only fight I came close to failing was Shara, and I double carted to Ruiner the last time I fought him but that's also Guiding Lands so it's not like I can really fail. I carted once on plenty of story hunts, tho, and I haven't done a Brute Tigrex without carting yet.

As for un-fun monsters, I really dislike Brachy, having to roll 5 times gets old the first time you have to do it. Kushala should be self explanatory, and MR Blos is just waiting for them to stop doing the charge into dig thing (I take screamer pods, but I only have 3).

Fun monsters would include Teostra (excellent, as usual), Brute Tigrex, and Yian Garuga, but I like most of the MR monsters.

Yea Brachy is pretty high on my list of most disliked too just not as bad as those 3.

If you struggle vrs tig use lance. He cant hurt you and you can get easy mounts

Shrieking Legiana was about the only monster I didn't appreciate. I'm sure there were differences but as far as I could tell it was just an even more annoying version of a basic Legiana with a bigger AoE on ice attacks. Seemed like a pointless yet obligatory monster to include because of the fact it was ice based.

I would have rather seen an MR Deviljho + Savage Deviljho than an MR Legiana + Shrieking Legiana combo, personally. At least then we might have seen some Deviljho mating turf wars, or a playful game of tug of war involving Dodogama.

I hate Shrieking Legiana so much, even using ranged weapons she is still pain in the ass with the constant moving every seconds in the air, also i don't like Tigrex, Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos as well..
As for most fun for me: Ebony Odogaron, Nargacuga, Glavenus, Brachydios, and Zinogre..
Also i don't include base game monsters for this..

[Hurricane]

Legiana use ig or lance for ez mode. But i also find switch axe kinda broken vrs them too

[LonesomeSparrow]

From the newly introduced monsters, I think Namielle is my favourite. The fact that the water attacks lightly flood the area is kinda cool and the game was in need of more water based monsters anyway.

Overall, ever since the Witcher quests, I really like the Pukipukis. They kinda grew on me.

Same with Odogaron.

Least favourite, by a whole lot, has got to be Lavasioth. Fighting that beast until research is maxed and then never again. Just overall boring.

I personally must recommend Capcom on the new Baz. They fixed him just enough to make him really REALLY fun to play whereas before, he was just an annoying piece of dungpod.

I can't say I really dislike anything except Barf, but, I got to Namielle this morning and boy was I disappointed. I previously saw the logo when mates in my lobby farmed it and imagined some new frame, some tentacle monster or something cool. Instead I got **another** dragon. Art department really went nuts there.
Anyways, a lot of my friends commented on the base game that all the monsters look the same.

I wish it was harder to disagree.

I hate Velkana too that fcking tail attack hitboxes

[Scyris]

I generally hate any monster that moves around like it has A.D.D like Tigrex and such for an example, as I am dual blades, rathalos is another of my pretty hated enemies as the jerk tends to stay in the air most of the time, and while I can knock him down, he has a 20k ish hp pool. Its just a very frustrating and unfun time fighting him. On Normal and high rank hes not a problem because his HP pool is much smaller, but on MR? and the fact from rarity 7 to 12 dual blades I didn't really notice much of a damage difference between them. The attack is higher on the 12* but the motion values are often so low that it doesn't even add 1 damage.

Most of them do look the same, I mean tigrex, nargacuga, and the ice version of tigrex with the tiger face, its pretty much the same thing with just a diff skin, then you have most monsters having 2-3 reskinned versions of it, and the fact that to much crap looks like generic dragons. Namielle also was a disapointment, when the cutscene first started I thought it was a octopus like thing, then a few seconds later its just "Oh, yet another boring dragon...though this one is very colorful at least."

I run dual blade and I felt like other people just saw me trying to run after nergi with benny hills in the background

Ruiner is fun fight but sometimes he's a bit bs with his move.
First time fighting him in guiding land went pretty smoothly but when he move to forest/coral area with the ledge he proceed to cart me by roaring and did the new fast paw swipe while I'm still stuck in the roar stun animation, send me into the ledge and somehow that enable me to take the second hit from the same move and kill me mid air instantly...
