What the heck happened to Flash pods?

[PossessingSpirit09]

They barely work anymore. The first shot does, but any shots after do absolutely nothing. I'm aware that they nerfed the stun duration (I think). Is there something I'm not seeing?)

[Xedhadeaus]

Big nerf because flash pods were basically traps
Besides, unless every monster has mhfu tier body checks, then flashing them makes them easier to handle.

Pause then use it again after a while, I don't know the exact timer but eventually it works again. Alternate between claw takedown and flash pod, if neither is an option, you're SOL I guess, spam slinger bombs/pierce then and pray.

Or as the annoying crowd says: "lul imagine not using a bow/HBG against flying mons ahaha".

I belive flashpods works the same as before in low/high rank but master rank monsters builds up a immunity to flash pods really fast (1-2 flashes)

[Juno Brier]

Basically "git gud and stop relying on them all the time" would be a pretty impolite way to put it.

I had to go do a LR Legiana for some materials, it got up just as fast as MR from being flashed. Guess it's a universal change.

they basicaly have a internal cooldown

previously tempered monster and so would become permanently immune after 3 flashes

now they become immune for some times after single flash, if you wait enoguht time there is no limit to how many flashes you can use tho.

Work all day vrs velkhana and jho... if youre playing 4p its probs team mates making the monster immune

That would make too much sense.

Flying monsters also dont stay knocked down when hit. They get right back up.

Pretty sure people mainly only care because ''lol flying 24/7'' monsters are a thing. Nerfing flash pods against them is fking stupid.

[Raxtor-夜]

For anyone who still finding answers: just flinch shot it directly to the head. It'll work instantly. But yeah, still not that easy since they got new moves and be more aggresive in MR.

[kukukachu]

honestly, I'd just like MH6 to incorporate a way to get up to the flying monster instead of knocking it down.

[Bobucles]

Master rank monsters learn to close their eyes after a few pods. They still wreck the low and high ranks.

Three year necro.

I can only assume they intend to for you to use the glaive or ranged weapons for those enemies. There just isn't any other reasonable way to deal with them.

I mean, if they steal the ideas from Wild Hearts and make an automatic fortnite tower appear LOL.
