Shrieking Legiana (help and rant)

[D-Jak]

As if the normal one wasn't annoying enough, they now made this stupid thing.

How I am supposed to fight it solo, when it almost never touches the ground? I play Dualblades and it was the most annoying hunt so far I had in the game, literally. I was close to punching my monitor. I love the game and soloed almost all monsters at least once with great fun. But this just sucks.

In the end I killed it, but I am still so annoyed and angry at that ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'd love some help next time to obliterate it as a revenge.

How do I fight flying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ almodt never touching the ground? All the other flying monsters still give you attack windows.

Flash pods not really working, in the end I was just grappling all the time, trying to blast it in the wall so I can do some damage. Really horrible game design in my opinion. Or I just suck.

Shrieking Legiana is annoying. I agree with you but are you able to overcome with the issue? Yes. I would not like to say "get good" but rather say "experience is the key". You'll learn as you play more. Did you know flying wyverns can be easily knocked down if you focus on hitting their legs? Did you know Legiana is weak to stun? Maybe you could try using ranged weapons for this monster.

You're not bad at the game, just inexperienced.

Monster Hunter has enemies that just almost always stay in air like Nightshade Paolumu or Azure Rathalos, good to know that Shrieking Legiana ALSO does this. I have no idea why they thought it was a good or fun idea to essentially make melee impossible (Clutch claw helps ever so slightly with this but still is abysmal) for almost all of the fight per arena. Flash pods help get them on the ground for maybe 20 seconds for the first pod, but then they added an ability for some monsters to get blinded and stay in the air, so that point is moot for enemies like Lunastra (I notice MR Rathian also doesn't care about flash pods but I could be wrong about her.)

It's an incentive to switch to ranged weapons which if you're someone like me who sticks to 1 or 2 weapons and is a pure melee person means ♥♥♥♥ all, more of a middle finger than anything else.

Even before Iceborne, slinger ammo has been good for knocking monsters down. Doesn't do much damage, but hitting them in the face will cause them to flinch and often lower themselves a bit (sometimes just enough to scratch them with your sword).

[Synellia]

Some monsters are easier to fight with specific weapons. IG and HBG for example can obliterate shrinking legiana. On the other hand, IG is quite useless against Kushala dahora, and ranged weapons are not so great against Kulve.

TDLR: it’s nice to master 2 weapons to have more flexibility with different monster types.

Have to agree with this. This has happened to me over and over again with fights that I thought were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that now are just regular casual fights latest of which is Alatreon. Also with max defense upgrades regular non tempered monsters can barely scratch you (of course it takes a long time before you teach that point), defense can make a huge difference in fights.

Hey, maybe you could show us how good you are playing this game, git gut boy...

use different weapon?

She's a bit tricky.

1. Don't expect to be dealing dmg all the time.
2. You have to exploit the windows that are fewer in you case.
3. USE Earplugs (even at the cost of some dmg) - this is your window, too.
4. Flinch, traps and trips should be bread & butter.
5. When she's up, grapple and do airborne dmg.
6. Hit legs as much as possible.
7. Use Stamina Thief.
8. Use Fire, but more importatly some poison - either in wpn or bombs.
9. For the first few runs - get a friend? (one)
10. Give your palico fully upgraded shield - he will put up the scarecrow (or what the name is) - this surely is your window.

He uses DB, Stamina Thief is pretty useless for him.

Sorry, my bad. LS, DB and IG can't use StamThief.

Tis why I used the IG
