User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Monster Hunter Frontier Forward/@comment-4009941-20140105235044

Rukodiora:You know I could complain about how many times I had to hunt this jerk but I will be honest his music never gets old ever!. His magnetic powers are for sure worth mentioning able to suck you into his claws literally and push you away when you make him flinch. I go through the extra trouble of avoiding any attack that has magnetic dust to avoid magnet status, its that annoying but cool. Ewuipment is cool the weapons glow and the armor has extremely great defence for LR.

Violent Raviente: Hmm I guess I could say he is kinda slow but he is focusing on like 64 hunters at once what did you expect? his full attention?. But when he starts moving its freakin fast and everyone panicks!. His strongest attack is his tornado breath attack that covers the whole area! killing almost anyone without top level SR equipment. I enjoy hunting this monster he is eventfull, collecting 32 players to hunt one monster for 9+ rounds of battle with 4 NPC hunters in battle per team, 4 hunters per team and 4 more NPC hunters that stay on the ship per round not to mention it switchs NPC hunters on the battle field per round or atleast every 3 rounds so lots of activity going on at once. Then there is hunters that stay back at the area you post quest from donating items for support so yeah lots of chaos if not planned out. His equipment used to be the most powerful in weapons in the game untill Supremacy monsters showed up.

Unknown(Black Flying Wyvern): Hmm a nameless quest invading monster that strikes fear and excitement uppon appearance I remember I first ran into one in the Great Forest killed everyone.... For sure it gained my respect after that. I do wish they gave it a name other than "Unknown" though but I guess it gets to keep being mysterios. It doesn't even have in game monster info(Neither does Raviente) so its even more unknown than some Elder Dragons. Equipment like its SNS is beyond excellent with the SNS at HR100 having 1500 element of your choise with unlimited upgrades that are there only to change element around to your wish.

Gogomoa: Current in game kill count 1358..... I know I know your thinking what the hell or something. It had a great Hunter Rank Point event quest one time so I hunted him non stop to rank up(Even though compared to ones we got now that event is kinda lame but that was back then). I have to say very unique Pelagus using webs and swinging through trees at high speeds. It will really gain your respect when you hunt a SR100 Gogomoa when its speed becomes kinda insane to the point that when in super rage it has almost no stall time before it does complicated attacks. Besides that I think I heard its behavior when not hunting it = Sloth.... His equipment is very good I reccomend its Gou weapons from HR1 > HR998.

Kokomoa: Okay lets remember the baby Gogomoa has its own name and is considered a small monster that if you think about it has a HC version even if it barely does anything besides spank its butt at you still a cute side monster that makes its parent go insane when you hit it enough.

Abiorugu:My favorite of all Brute Wyverns(Jade Barroth gets 3rd place) though I kinda consider both Abio and Gia to be the same monster(Hence why in my mind was thinking Jade Barroth is only 2nd place). Abio scares the heck out of people who face his HR100 version it goes from being Jho in LR and HR but then at HR100 Gou Abio gets insane with that combo, throwing tail spikes, digging from under you and knocking you in the air to chop you in half mid air!. Abio is smaller than Jho but way more aggressive I consider his smaller average size to actually be his advantage!. Though his equipment is not reccomended for players abover HR499 as it has no SR upgrades. But his armor does have a cool skill, when you use throwing knives you can throw 6 per using one knife item in your inventory like in some of those old ninja movies.

Taikun Zamuza: I first hunted this crab at HR and was in shock when it had a movie scene and broke the ground beneath me. All the sudden it moved faster and started charging using its hammer claw as a shield and its scythe claw as a sweeping lance. But my biggest shock was when I broke all parts then it reveals its final form in a area that is deep underground glowing blue and then it reveals its final form!. I was in complete shock then it drills into the ground and comes out the walls and kills me. This crab is awesome!. His equipment ranges from just good looking to being very useful as its Gou GS has a supremacy upgrade that uses Supremacy Dora scales.

Kuarusepusu:A scrapped monster meant for Tri that got picked up by frontier team. It has became a leviathan power house. For a time it boosted what was considered insane attack power when it was released. It has this fun little thing where you can break the crystals the fall off its body and steal fire or thunder element for your weapon making a triple hit if your using another element as it uses it and your weapons element same time. Though many wanna dismiss it as a Agnaktor and Lagiacrus wannabe it has some very unique strengths you have to see to beleive. Such as its slither attack NEVER ends even from across a whole open desert area until it hits or passes its target and same for digging attacks, at HR100 it gains sweeping tail beams and 4 beams spinning shot form its back same time as making a flash blinding then burning hunters, it has the normal head sweeping beams as well. Also not many notice but if you get near his crystals on the ground they blow up on you either flashing making you dizzy or exploding with thunder. Also there is 3 quest types of Kuaru at HR100 Normal Highlands, Super Thunder Great Forest Peak and Dual Kuaru in the desert with a team attack and they communicate with each other. Super thunder has some insane reach with charged thunder attacks that also cause paralysis making people run surprising distances form him and his thunder slither is scary scary fast!. Dual Kuaru kinda follow each other whole battle and their team move has insane reach and heavy attack power cooking and flashing hunters. His equipment is surprising maxed Gou SNS has 1450 thunder, good purple sharpness with S+1, 25% affinity and 1 slot but downside is the SNS is Short Reach type.

Odibatorasu: A giant turtle boy as I call it or Sand Man my personal nicknames. This guy has great control over the sand being able to make pillars of sand, make sand rocks errrupt form the ground on cammand, Making pillars come from under hunters making them stuck inside them forcing you to have to squirm your way out to escape, making you fall in pits head first(looks hilarios) alos having to shake your way out, a tail sand beam when he slams tail and sand beams out all the pores and cracks of his tail, he has a bunch of holes on his back for shooting homing sand rocks into the sky and making explosions of sand with incredible insane attack power. So Odei is the master of earth in a sea of easy to move sand that I guess he has been sleeping and hiding in for a long time. I like this monster, I even like his face most people call silly. Sure canon on the back looks overdone but when Supremacy Odei uses it you can see how useful it is for him and a nice effect when he is in rage is if you look at him he darkens and the whole area starts to have a sand storm with the sand just coming out of all his pores to make the storm. His equipment is extremely nice rivaling Ravi when it came out but the cash to make his GS... 9.5 million and it was worth it even though I replaced it with G equipment.

HC Monsters: Power to Kusha! that thing is crazy! Free roaming twisters, attacking 4 hunters form anywhere in the area at once by making twisters pop from under them and making the free roamers at the same time!. And ice element everywhere! chunks of spiky ice all over the ground! causing damage and he can weaken your armor with def down status!. HC Nono is one of my favorites the clean white color looks beautaful. HC Rusted Kusha is also cool along with ice he leaves rust chunks on the ground that if you step on loos buts of sharpness.

Supremacy Monsters: Doragyurosu and Supremacy Unknown are the insane power houses of Forward 5 never has any monster had me fail quests so fast even with a full group of hunters it was insane you panick through the whole battle about if its gonna target you next or is it gonna kill us all at once and no one will be able to use fats eating skill and Lifepowder people with 0 health who were comboed mid air mid air! Never before did I panick so much in MH the adrenaline rush of "Oh heck I don't wanna fail for the 11th time in a row" was fun and depressing same time so yeah Supremacy Doragyurosu and Unknown are insane even in G-rank armor we got now your not safe and our current armors have like +800 defence since Forward 5. You can imagine the pain and suffering was fun. Still I like the way Supremacy Paria looks more than Unknown so my favs are Paria and Dora. I mean Dora turns red from being so over powered it burns its own skin burning red! and Paria is a total horror show. As for equipment burnt Dora scales has allot of uses in many weapons to turn them into Supremacy weapons and same goes for Paria who by the way to max a Gou Gogo SNS you need allot of Supremacy Paria.

I have to say Forward 5 really made a nice finish before G started with Supremacy equipment you could make to plan for G-rank. Supremacy armor added in Forward 5 was great but a real pain of pains to make having full 15 slots maxed with gems that give like +5 Evasion +5 Evasion speed and +3 something else in 1 slot gems you can imagine + Supremacy armor boosts skills like Large Wind Res > Dragon WInd Res just form wearing the armor and sharpness boosts when using Supremacy armor + Supremacy weapons giving some Sky Blue Sharpness that is above purple in Gou, Supremacy and later G quests.

Music hmm Taikun final form and Supremacy Paria share a soundtrack I love and Abios sounds unique I like it.
