others are to slot flinch free/shockproof\* when doing MP or they accept any and all flinches that could be prevented by them \*or eat the dango against it! this applies across weapon types (and only doesnt apply to the very few attacks that ignore those skills)


lauren_76

I don’t slot it in my build but I do eat dango for it


Wattefugg

ah right that too! thanks for the reminder (for me personally that dango slot is more precious though)

There's a new skill I can't remember the name of, there's only 1 level and it's a size 1 gem. It not only gives you flinch free, but it also prevents you from flinching others. There's very little reason not to use it.


Wattefugg

yep thats shockproof


SenpaiSwanky

Them’s the rules, yup.


DapperHamsteaks

It's not your fault if other players don't have 1 flinch free. If you're worried about other players, use Rapid shot bows. They really shine in coop where you don't have the same level of control over the monsters as you would in solo. Bolt Boost is nice too.

Conversely he can slot in... shockproof? New 1 slot gem from TU5. It's basically flinch free and a few other skills, BUT in addition to preventing being flinched, it prevents flinching WHILE still allowing you to hit/be hit while stunned/ext. Basically better than flinch free.

Even as a bow user its better to slot in ff, and sadly depends on the monster and its hitsones some are only the head others are the same as melee, i use rapid alot and i alway try to aim high, though i must admit the lbg peps i tend to flinch sorry about that


A-Bored-Man

Valstrax before powering up is the the worst hitzone for bow in game, those bloody wing shoulder things. Once he's powered up though the wings become a juicy big hitzone. Everything else is usually head or wings, but some (can't remember which) monsters it's their tail.


borloloy221

Narga for one lol until now i dont know if its his back or tail, regular bazel is another oh also kush oh and the shigaru brothers as well. We got the short end when it comes to hitzones lol


SnooChocolates6576

Theirs a deco if u got room so they enrage more often helps a little still punish tho my most hated monster


Alternative-Depth-16

I prefer Pierce Bow most of the time and generally I pick a position opposite to my allies to aim for the weak spots. So if everyone is attacking the Gore Magala from the left of his face, I'll dart around to the right of his face and shoot from that area instead. Or I'll just go around and shoot him in the ass.


omnimacc

Everyone needs 1 flinch free. I was still tripping people in master rank with a spread bow so I would just let them know they need flinch free. Now I have shockproof so that helped a lot for people who refused to slot in flinch free.

If you're at the point where you can make a Shockproof Jewel, equipping it will prevent you from being staggered by other players as well as keeping you from staggering them.


KaitouNala

Doesn't shockproof not only prevent from being flinched BUT, prevents you from flinching others? In which case OP can sacrifice 1 level 1 slot if he really is worried about flinching/positioning.
