Does Clutch Claw work on non-Iceborne owners?

[Mr.Cho]

I just realized after doing some SOS on low/high rank. Do they have Clutch Claw? If not, are they fighting monsters with tougher skins? So they lose DPS?

[Seamus]

If they don't have iceborne, they don't get claw or the new weapon moves.

[Mr.Cho]

Also do they see the moves we can do but they can't?

[Furrows]

yes, people who don't own IB have no clutch claw, nor do they have the new moves.
so they are weaker and they have the nerfed versions of WEX and Max Might

I don't think anything Iceborne, including the clutch claw and new weapon moves, are available to people who don't own it.

I also doubt they changed hitzones on LR/HR monsters so everything is the same as always for them.

What if we helped them in their missions?

They can see us use them, but can't use them.

They still get the crap versions of WEX, Max Might and Non Elemental Boost, though.

Must be tough to be a non-iceborne player getting to see the moveset of iceborne players

[็Oni]

[Grottowalker]

It's a clever marketing trick for sure.

LR/HR people being able to only play with other LR/HR people would be a lot worse.

It sucks big time... because arena monsters still do the stupid clutch claw stagger. And I think the times to beat are the same... so imagine trying to true charge slash a monster and seeing them just backstep and drool, it must be awful for them.

It also sucks for light weapon users for obvious reasons lol. I'm sure you don't have enough time to clutch either diablos before they trample you or scream.
