AT Velkhana is too easy...

[RuDoKa]

Seriously, where is the good old AT Nergigante difficulty ? I killed AT Velk in 10mins first try... Same for Namielle... Every end game mobs should have Fatalis difficulty

Whats ur weapon?

[bolabuga]

She is kicking my ..S, when im trying GS. Any way, the fun thing about this game is to overcome your difficult. In this sense, im having fun getting myself killed :).

No they shouldn't, at all. The "issue" here is that AT Velk came after Fatalis so we are all nicely whipped into shape, and I'm willing to bet you're using some Fatalis armor pieces which are pretty much completely broken in terms of power.

This is Velkhana, we've been fighting her for a good while now. Fatty was new, you had to learn the fight and the mechanics. After learning the fight, is it really that hard anymore?

Re: AT Nergi. No. It was awful and stupid, all the vanilla ATs were trash.

I had so much fun doing over and over and over, AT nergi and AT xeno.

After fighting AT Velkhana a good few more times, they're definitely too easy, but that's because they're not the last AT for Iceborne. The last AT will be as ridiculous as AT Nergigante in HR was If not moreso, considering this is MR and MR is supposed to have end of end game content that's harder than the end of end game content in HR.

First run with a friend we made a few small mistakes and lost the first hunt. 2nd attempt we destroyed her in 15 mins and then went on to farm her almost to full completion of the items to get from her.

Shes so easy because the changes to her is just hit like a dump truck just like Fatty but with Fatty armor you can get evade window extended to 5/5 with ease making all her attacks a breeze to avoid.

They should have released AT Velkhana before Fatalis. The Fatalis set is so incredibly strong that it negates a lot of the difficulty of this fight. I defeated AT Velkhana on my first attempt with the GS and Fatalis armor. I had divine blessing 5 and that makes this fight a breeze.

I still think that AT Velkhana is one of the best AT elders and she's definetly on the same level as AT Xeno'Jiiva for me. AT Velkhana got dragged down a bit by the fact that she released after Fatalis and that's really unfortunate as it is an amazing execution of the AT concept.
She's probably the last AT elder, altough we don't know that for sure yet. It does seem very likely at this point.

She seems easy because of the current meta situation, but without Fatalis armor she is quite a bit harder. She still suffers from the same weaknesses as regular Velkhana does and she has a lot of fairly predictable moves in addition to moves that leave her wide open for an extended amount of time. AT Velkhana does punish mistakes and one hit can quickly spiral out of control due to her tendency to combo her abilities in quick succession.

Overall I think that AT Velkhana and AT Xeno"Jiiva are the best AT elders. It's just really unfortunate that they released Fatalis earlier then AT Velkhana.

When AT Nergi came, we've been fighting regular Nergi for a long time too and it was still very hard.

They had to design AT Velk with the Fatalis armor issue in mind.

And the sole reason that made him so hard was one extremely unga move they gave him.

You want a harder AT Velk a la AT Nergi school of difficulty? Just let her movecancel any breath, bite, tail whip or run attack into an extremely gorilla slam move that oneshots the player. And the slam can also cancel into itself repeatedly.

I'm not sure if thats entirely the case. She was put into the game about the same time he was, just staggered release times. Fatalis armor is essentially a "thanks for playing our game" reward to the community (much like ahtal-ka armor in MHGU), so our hunters are considerably more powerful than they were when AT Nergi was new.

It's easy for me with IG, fairly hard with bow. Haven't tried any other weapons yet.

Soloing almost ANY monster in this game is "too easy". Seriously you dont have to create post about that. But you can always increase difficulty by answering random SOS signal. Only trully skilled hunters can carry a group of average randoms.
