About the burst art system

[Lexy]

I notice that burst art significanlly boost particular attack move to the point I only spam those move rather than chaining atacks to do combo

For example i have this buster blade with (i using xbox controller)
1. Lvl 3 charge attack burst art (overkill)
2. Improved Y arial attack
3. Improved Y step attack

I usually devour then spam moves 2 or 3 until the oracle cell are broken then charge lvl 3 attack to dish 3k dmg (rank 4 wep atm), rinse and repeat

I rarely use my gun form (i use ray gun)

Is this how GE3 meant to play? Or I'm playing it wrong?? Since it gets boring too fast, even faster than the original GEB at PSP....

Well yes you're going to end up trying to spam the most damage while not getting killed, but that show all the games have played, even in GE1 and 2 you just resorted to the same basic attack steps because they worked, i mean that show most games work :P

finding which attack you like is part of the fun
for me, it's the hammer rush
i keep using it on downed enemy until my stamina almost run out
seeing my character pummeling them nonstop is fun :D

or when using spear, i use the charging dash-Y to move around and staying behind the enemy

so if you get bored, pick another weapon and experiment

Well imo dishing out high damage after chaining few attack give better satisfication than just spam 1 button over and over... Like when I was a short sword user at GEB, it gives some satisfication when I chaining 5 attack ended with a cool slashing moves, it also gives more dynamic gameplay....

But based on your comment I think this is how GE3 meant to play @_@ I think I need break a while after doing the same attack moves after 2 days XD

I started using the dual blade (dunno the name lmao) but no stamina regen during the "spear" mode really kills me XD I changed to buster and it was a blast seeing the high number you can dish when charging attack to downed monster XD

Switch to Heavy Moon, pretty much same as BB but more fun. I am not sure about Ray Gun, Sniper is best for me.

Well for one, no one is forcing you to use burst arts only. I mixup my gameplay a lot and using the raygun often to avoid getting stale. If anything I tend to use my gun when my stamina is getting low to avoid wasting time not attacking. Still getting under 5 min without spamming BA the whole mission. I'm honestly glad this game got a lot flashier than the previous games cuz for an anime-style hunting game it lacks that feel IMO.

This is a byproduct of them not knowing how to balance worth a damn even after the lopsided mess that was GE2RB. This is especially noticable in BAs that ignore defenses while still being easily spammable (BH's Lost Memory is one example).

I too, mained short sword in GEB and had to learn to use every move at my disposal. Now, there's not as much of a point as you can just constantly stagger and down anything by spamming certain moves.

3 Burst Arts - 1 for spamming, 1 for downed, 1 for fun.

my favorite BA is the Mercy Spiral for the Variant Scythe. I feel awesome when i do that and i tend to do a quick swap to my Castor Pollux II and unload a few shots too. It is boring when you keep spamming the same move over and over ...and over .... and over... and over.....and over. so, experiment with other weapons or nerf yourself (solo hunt or use weak weaponson high rank ).

while I was a HoH Variant Scythe user in GE2RB I wouldnt recommend doing that build here it may still have it's use but the pace ruins the timing
but for now my LS BA is all about getting airborn and spamming REKKUUZAN
while my Charge Spear BA is all about whaling dives for maximum damage from downed aragamis
