Why is Velkhana stupid.

[Casualuser]

Less is more and more ie less. Velkhana is too fast, too strong and its unblockable death beams are almost insta cast. By far the worst and most annoying of the elders.

I must also add that iceblight is just not fun

Laughs in MR Kushala Daora.

But in all seriousness I also had unfun moment with her first time back then when I used charge blade, mainly because her speed overwhelmed me..

What I can say is just fight the learning curve, like every other monsters her attacks would be totally predictable so fast once you fight her a few times..

Or go the easy way by using Insect Glaive, Lance, or Dual Blades, she is a cakewalk with those weapons..

I use the Glance which makes me slow AF and all the 4 different death lasers are unblockable to me :C

Have you tried using ice mandle or blight 3 ? What her movements goes for they all easy dodged if you dont stand still and always on the move. Her design is not bad. She just good at punishing bad players that only stick to his one punch yolo tactic.

Once you find out how easy she really is when you figure out how her attack animations expose her for attacks then she's a piece of cake to beat.

if no one told you about Guard Up ...

and now my comment will prompt you to go look why Guard up is even a thing

masterful game design, i know

Just join a MR 999 that will evade everything with temporal mantle and stunlock it constantly

Idk, Arch-Tempered Nergigante was far harder (using only endgame World equipment as I hadn't started Iceborne yet)

[Smaugi]

IDK man , I enjoy this fight alot as Gunlance , its pretty easy to hop between Velkhs attacks and smack her head with the side sweeps.
Also I never even try to block with GL its not that good at doing it , hoping is just better.

Evade extender 3 is really good for GL hops , but overall its all practice , once you learn the attacks a simple hop is ussualy enough to avoid it and still being in range to hit the monster , GL has pretty wide and long attacks.

All I hear is "I am not good enough to deal with it's attacks". Stop complaining. Improve and overcome instead. People can solo Fatalis, don't tell me you can't deal with Velkhana.

You say you use Gunlance, watch a person fight velkhana with a gunlance to give yourself an idea of what you should be going for, that should help. But still, I don't play Gunlance almost at all but I guarantee you I could beat Velkhana if I sat next to you and gave me a controller.

Knowledge of the weapon is only a part of the equation, as long as you understand the monster's moveset well and have a good hold on the rest of the game's mechanics you can pick up any weapon and beat everything but the toughest fights. It will take you a long time because you suck at a weapon, but you will be able to stay alive and eventually do it. If you can't do it even with your main weapon then that suggests that the problem is definitely not only with how you play the weapon.
