Is Wyvern Strife any good?

[Tresh]

I love the look of the weapon (It's a dual blade) as well as it's double element damage. Any good or not worth the farm?

It's one of those weapons that you'd use if you're fighting against a monster that is weak to both. But since it's difficult to get Crit Element and Crit Status with Razor Sharp, a weapon like that usually isn't worth it. Usually better to focus on a single element or status effect and maximize your effectiveness with that. That said, the weapons look cool af and you shouldn't let damage optimization get in the way of looking cool.

Mhm, I'm just looking damage wise and even each element damage on its own is comparable to other, single element damages (360 for both poison and fire) base damage is a little lower than average with 378, but that seems to be redeemable with the right gear or jewels

If you care about numbers, you're basically losing half the potential poison or fire damage you'd get from a single element/status dual blade set. But like I said before, just play how you like. Unless you're trying for speed runs, the time difference between that and a single element/status DB will be negligible.

Thanks, then I'll continue to go for it. I like gimmicky weapons like that that come with dual element/special status. Just wanted to know if it was going to be significantly weaker than it seems.

Yeah it's okay to go for stuff like that. I'm running a Colonel Sanders cosplay with the meat hammer right now for the lols. I used to run Lobster Man with the Lobster Claw Hammer or Chef w/ Wok Hammer in Freedom Unite and still got good times due to my skill. 1 or 2 extra minutes is worth it if you get to look hilarious while doing it.

That does sound very amusing and I haven't even played Freedom Unite. This is my first MH title and I'm having tons of fun after I completely burned myself out on the souls series with no intention on going back in the near future.

Oh yeah, you can do all sorts of cosplay nonsense in MH games with the right gear. Admittedly, MHW seemed to be really tame on that stuff until now with Iceborne. The older games just got straight up silly.
