i need to rant about Kirin

[BeastKingSmash]

why they thought it was a good idea to make her head the ONLY weak part ?? as if the cheap lightning wasn't enough you gave her just 1 weak part which is the hardest one to hit, and also your attacks will bounce off her body unless you have minds eye jewel

this is too many bad design decisions into one monster this is the worst monster design in the game in my opinion

[Berkan]

Kirin is too easy with spread hbg, even it is hard to not kill it under 10 minutes. Oh wait, nearly every monster is easy with spread hbg. This thing is Op, and if u have shield gem , u are nearly invincible. it feels like cheat.

let me guess: you never tried DB against kirin?

Yes. Use weak comboes that you can use slinger evade from if you need it. Hit n run style. Tenderize only when down.

Now looking at it, I still believe its the same dude. I mean he got banned again, for complaining about kirin broken. His previous posts were also complaining about other monsters being broken.


Some similarity between the two of them, eh?

Lance is extremely easy against Kirin. You have no idea. When I first started out, I had incomplete gun builds and I main guns, and it was just hard to aim with controller, so I had to switch to melee. Lance is laughably easy against Kirin if you have Guard Up and Guard 5. Turn in the general direction of the horn, poke, poke, poke, backstep. Repeat. When in doubt, your only response is guard. You don't have to hit with the tip of the lance. Anywhere along the shaft counts and Kirin is always within lance's reach.

Lol SA would be my second to last weapon vs Kirin. I don’t care if sword comes with free minds eye.

Blue sharpness against regular/tempered kirin, White sharpness against AT kirin

[Magnussen]

I guess that everyone has an "easy" and "hard" monster... Kirin is the easiest for me. Using bow it is a piece of cake.

I agree that the hitboxes are weird but only in one ocassion: when he is doing the lightining attack that creates a line (or three) in the ground. During that animation his hitboxes are so weird that my arrows literally go through him, that is so cheap that the developers should be assamed of that....

Aside from that it is too easy...

Like I said before, shelling ftw.

Get rekt bois

[FauxFurry]

If one uses weapons with high Elder Seal, Kirin is a lot more vulnerable (if one doesn't want to just shoot the thing with sticky rounds or shell it to pieces).

[SolusEmsu]

White+ Sharpness pierces Kirin's lightning armor. Fire Dual Blade "Sin" type is what I have always used on her, and it has always worked very well. Dodge the lightning easily and white Sharpness to ignore the body lightning armor. All the way to Arch-Tempered Kirin.

[Nerevar]

use LBG. kirin is helpless againist this weapon. he wont hit you ONCE even as an average player since all his moves are either only close range effects or have super long longrange windups. you can literally WALK away from his attacks with lbg. its his absolute counter weapon. can then use whatever ammo you want to win.
