Flinch Free - does not work?

[MACIORELLA]

I am still being knocked out and rolled..... WHat this skill is suppose to do anyway?

[Serrassi Effect]

top of my head, lv 1 prevents the little stagger, lv 2 turns trips into staggers and lv 3 negates trips. anything bigger than that will still knock you around.

[KnockerLocker]

Its best use against dual blade user and long sword user lol.

[Serrassi Effect]

yep. pretty much keeps your teamates from tripping you or getting bumped lightly by monsters.

[MACIORELLA]

But also helps with monsters yes?

[InstableMonster]

it helps but on attacks you'll still get knocked down, it only negates knock back

[SappFire]

It helps with small monsters and players. No effect on big monsters

There are 3 tiers of flinch free you know, one deco won't solve it all.

[MACIORELLA]

I have all of them !

A few days old thread, but I was wondering the same thing. Currently slotted 3 brace jewels to farm the lowrank glutton voucher event with a bandit mantle and it does literally nothing. I still get knocked out and thrown around by Great Jagras, Pukei and Paolumu when trying to pick up scales.

I know that 3 brace jewels doesn't stop tailswipes or Paolumu's wind, but it doesn't stop me from getting rolled around by Pukei's tongue move, headbutts by Jagras or Paolumu in the air, or any of the three monsters stupid walk charges ( you know the thing that rathian does 5 times in a row..). The only thing I saw it save me from was Jagras's hand swipe, but most of the time these guys are tail swiping and charging around. It's just not worth it at all other than slotting one for multiplayer.

Brace doesn't save you from being knocked away or up. It just reduces and negates small staggers and tripping.

It's only good for annoying allies and stuff like accidentally getting stepped on by a monster as it turns around. Most attacks will still send you flying

That's just really disappointing considering it's a level three gem. It seems that having one on is enough for most attacks and allies then, and the extra two are for the most part a waste of slots.

Also if op is still looking at this thread, I found this vid that explains flinch-free really easily and concisely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEoQW2vapIs

itll stop things like a teo swipe or a small tail smack. but nergigante spin or shoulder slam will still throw you across the room. same with most monster leaps/dives

so.... as a decoration against monsters, its pretty weak, almost negligable effect and doesn't do what you want it, namely lock you in place. (even if there were 5 tiers, or 7... that would be epic to not lose your ground)

you would be better off slotting for evade distance x3 to get back into the fight or dodge it outright.

(to me quick sheath / evade distance are a god send, but then again i mostly play SA)

[MACIORELLA]

Still not worth it. Prefer to put some defense in...

[Voodoo]

It pretty much works on slight bumps.

after 350+ hours of playing .....my understanding is fintch free lvl one is there so your teammates cant stagger you, is it worth to get higher or max it? i really dont think so
