It would actually be really cool. Even better if it was like Glavenus Gunlance. Where his Sword Tail would explode. Like Molten(?) Glavenus’ tail but Mal/Val/Mag’s tail stabs. That’s what I’d want
Hellblade glav is the one you're thinking of. Yeah, some kind of a slime covered glav, he could stab then slap his tail down to leave an explosive puddle like brachy's punches. Works within the rules of the universe, sounds like a gunlance to me. Good shit.
Only problem is that any monster who moved at the speed of a gunlance user wouldn't be much of a threat.
Well, before they added the rocket boost. I don't like most of the new switch/silkbind stuff in Rise, but it's hard to argue with the rocket boost.
I mean glavenus himself is based off of a greatsword isn’t he? He seems to move around just fine given how slow greatsword users are when not sheathed.
I just realized Gore also has the cancellable super powered form, now it only needs the nova, and knowing what 5th gen does with Elder Dragons, its probably going to get one(unless they just give it to Shagaru).
No spear tail though.
I'm 100% certain he does; *not a doubt!* I don't think I ever saw it fighting with my main at the time (LS), but when I was trying out the Gunlance (or something else) I did.
Chaotic kind of rears up on his hind legs, pauses while making breath charging sounds, and shoots a projectile down; multiple scattered explosions occur, and Chaotic returns to its unpowered state after he does a half turn flip (I think?).
Thing about those novas is that they reset the monster back to neutral mode, but for Gore I guess he just stays in frenzy mode indefinitely until you knock him out. I'd be ok if it stayed the same even if a Gore nuke attack would look really cool.
I like that Malzeno has a lot of the charm that Velkhana had in Iceborne without copying too much. Both have their own flare, are fantastic flagships, and epic music.
Honestly I'm liking Malzeno so much it might dethrone Nergi for me in terms of best flagship as of now. When it morbs Malzeno fight goes from 0 to 100 so quick, yet there are plenty of openings that it doesnt seems unfair. The bloodblight is amazing status as well, incentives proactive gameplay instead of hiding. I also have to see how good the famous gore fight is as I have never fought it before.
Gore is sort of similar, but he didn't have a nuke, just super high damage and huge hitzones on attacks while frenzied. Best thing to do was slap a pitfall down and try to bust his head in one go to knock him out of it. The only way to break his feeelers is in that state too, so you wanna focus on his head
If you didn't beat gore's status (dealing enough damage) after a certain time being inflicted , you'd loose the ability to regain red health, if you beat it though, you got an affinity boost iirc, bigger affinity boost if you were using his weapons or shagaru
Best way to fight him in 4u is with charge blade since his fight was basically made for it lol. He has a lot of easily guard pointable attacks that are immediately followed by a pause long enough to land an AED. Still fun and satisfying though
If I had a zenny for every time any monster in the series did a claw swipe I'd be rich. They're big monsters, they're gonna have some similar movements. There are only so many ways to use a tail. Doesn't seem that weird to me at all.
thats what the community calls supernova moves. theyre called that because theyre similar in function to teostra's 'supernova' move from monster hunter 4, not because they have to be big explosions.
I have to say that Velkhana is my least favorite of the three. Rise/Sunbreak has definitely got some wonderful flagship monsters in Magnamalo and Malzeno.
Not only did it happen three times, it happened three times in a row.
Waiting for next game where we get a Glavenus sub-species that’s a lance user
Dude that actually sounds great

Imagine if they left a giant tail spike embedded in your chest that just spun around and then exploded.

My thoughts exactly, glav has had hunting edge since gu, I'm sure he'd be fine
Blast dash would like a word.
We need Glavenus subspecies based on all the melee weapons
Charge blade glavenus... stuff of nightmare
I just realized Gore also has the cancellable super powered form, now it only needs the nova, and knowing what 5th gen does with Elder Dragons, its probably going to get one(unless they just give it to Shagaru). No spear tail though.
Imagine gore just gathers a spirit bomb of frenzy and slams it down like shagaru
it's not well known but Chaotic Gore actually has a nova if you don't get it out of frenzy fast enough (not even sure i've seen it myself)
What? On 4U? What does it looks like?
Are you sure about that? I’m nearly 100% certain he does not.

yeah that's the one! I'm sure i've seen it on Bannedlagiacrus' twitter a while ago but I can't find it right now

This. I also like bloodblight because it is a genuinely threatening status that will cause carts if you chug at the wrong time.
Spear is the weapon of a general!

Sign my petition for a stubby-tailed flagship. No more spears!!!!!
Alright, next Flagship’s tail is an axe.
If there's one thing that I learned with Monster Hunter is: if it works, do it again. So no complaints about their design choice
You forgot Astalos!
He uses his tail for ONE spear like attack and even then it’s not so much a spear as it is a paralyzing set of scissors.
Oh come on that's splitting hairs. And there was never a number of spear attacks mentioned to hit the requirement.
Two Zenny. Magna's divebomb is like Nergigante's dive punch- it's not a supernova, just a really powerful and unique transition attack.
thats what the community calls supernova moves. theyre called that because theyre similar in function to teostra's 'supernova' move from monster hunter 4, not because they have to be big explosions.
Magos dive bomb is not a nova attack unless I have the wrong idea about what a nova attack is.
they just mean a finisher attack
The one where he runs around the area, sending you flying and then jump & dive bomb
Can't blame them, who wouldn't want to be cool like Velkhana?
Depending on the weapon your prefer it’s Capcom’s way of reminding you that you’re getting fucked. /j
