a lot of good blast element will do you with a great sword lol

it appears to do unmodified damage (i.e. bomb damage) after so many red slime hits, and the Bombadeir skills boosts its power, uncertain if Status Up or Element Up affects it at all - someone with the game could possibly look into that please? D:

and if you do want to talk DPS yeah, dropping some unmodified damage here or there doesn't hurt your chances, but does that random explosion every however many hits equal more damage dealt than weapons with balanced raw and element? or hell, even a combination of element up and dragon attack+2 with a divine exodus on a rathian? probably not (but boy do i want to see how much dragon damage you get out of THAT!), you're going to see a new weapon and new tool used in a new game - its new - when was the last time a new status or element was introduced to the mosnter hunter series? its REFRESHING
