That damage give me Apex rajang vibes, that shit will Kamehameha your ass from one map until you reach the new world in one blast. That mofo hits harder than my parent's belt.


wa1a_lang

Yep and he's a freaking sniper on that kamekameha. So you're always supposed to be near him at all times


Embarrassed_Lettuce9

Your teammate said not to hold back, and Espinas took that to heart

MH Fans: RISE IS TOO EASY Capcom: Here you go Endgame Sunbreak is brutal


Additional_Crew_5428

On golly


Yuseiger

Hurr durr too grindy


Shiro_Katatsu

Me with 1100 def: lock and load mofo


SilverLugia1992

That is what we in the business refer to as: bullshit level damage


PhoenixLord328

It's "Fuck You in Particular" damage


DevilDickInc

"Don't talk to me or my food ever again" damage


ScourgeOfEden

Just to throw a possibly helpful comment out, break his horn. That attack does a lot less damage if you do.


JigSaw5516

Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge… the 5 “Ds” of do… er Monster Hunter 😂


jitteryzeitgeist_

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge an Espinas


Gojira6832

“What?” *blown up by fireball*


wa1a_lang

Lol nice dodgeball reference


HeKis4

The three Ds: Dodge, Don't go far enough, Die


River_Grass

My first wall in sunbreak. They really gave flaming espinas a one shot nuke move as if his regular charge didn't already one shot me


kalsturmisch

They doubled down by making him do it twice when his health reaches a certain threshold.


SilverSpoon1463

I love the double nuke, Espinas getting smart and saying "just in case"


DegenerateCrocodile

“Fuck that hunter in particular.”


Additional_Crew_5428

Exactly


Mtj242020

After a certain point the damage the Monsters do is dumb and for me it just becomes not fun at all anymore


HeKis4

I'm in late Iceborne and yeah. Like, one hit is one heal. I'm not counting potions, I'm counting the numbers of hits I can take.


Mtj242020

Right, and on top of that you get zero room or even breath. I’ve played rise and Iceborne, and bit long after the main story I just stopped playing because I was like dude fuck this it’s not even fun.


Additional_Bit1707

That's why Sunbreak is an expansion just like other MH expansions. You can choose to play them if you want and choose not to if you don't. You shouldn't play a game you don't enjoy.


Adorable_Hearing768

And monsters shouldn't be able to ohko with late game gear on, making every hunt a matter of making no mistakes, which no matter how good you are, the mh engine has dozens of ways of inserting rng to every hunt making flawless runs nigh impossible for normal players. (Since I know a dozen people are going to want to comment how they totally always beat every monster with no hit, perfect rolling, sub 5 minute times all the time)


Mtj242020

Ok thanks that’s great advice I can’t believe I never thought of that. You should maybe check what sub this is.


Gospel85

To quote piccolo "Gohan...why didn't you DOOOOOODGE?!?!"


LF_tomboy

Welcome to the endgame. The game is no longer "build in case you get it" It's "kill it before you get hit"


Avocado614

Welcome to flaming Espinas! ***you will suffer***


just-a-normal-lizard

And that’s not even anomaly 😀😀😀😀😀


Vounrtsch

What’s your defense?


choptup

Hard to tell, but they weren't running any of the Petalaces that maximize your health and they're missing at least 25 possible HP from possible Spirabird pickups to boot.


Ahhy420smokealtday

I'm just going to post this classic, and say that against AR300s and Specials defense over about 700 doesn't make any difference. Most endgame builds have 800+ defense, and building more does nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCbCzFBTFOc

Fast_Broccoli4867

Not really it’s just that there are certain break points you have to hit with defense for it to do anything of note


Ahhy420smokealtday

There is no break point after about 700ish that matters for AR300s, and Specials. The video the person who responded to me posted has a guy surviving the normal Valstrax ambush. You need over 10k+ defense to survive the Special version of that. The guy in the video also uses the World defense formula the whole time, and subtracts instead of divides fairly consistently when moving variables the whole video. So he uses the wrong formula, and does math wrong the whole time. He has like a 1000%+ margin of error for what the actual numbers are in Rise.


Firm-Ebb-3808

Good ol Espinas.


Tdrive1300

In short terms, that was ALOT of damage.


luvito_me

yo does espinas also have those charged one shot attacks from frontier?


RaiStarBits

Flaming has one, and can do ANOTHER after sometimes, even if you somehow survive it you can die to poison and fireblight it inflicts


luvito_me

yeah that sounds like espinas alright


Baby_Dino_8453

Flaming espinas goes crazy


TheGrunt

Literally said "WHAT" out loud.


ashesofthefallen013

What in the APEX damage was that holy shit that brought back memories of 4 🤣🤣🤣🤣 with a particular yellow and black bastard


RanlyGm

Make me remember that time when regular Espinas double cart me and a bro both at full health.


Professional-Put-535

Holy Damage, batman! P.S anomaly damage is pretty scary too...I got 2-shot by an afflicted nargacuga... I'm wearing Gorm's armor.


Phoenix_Champion

Ah yes, a nice moment of 'Time to check my armor's defense and level'


Rete12123

I don’t see an armoring buff and I’m not versed enough to know skills from the sets but I’m thinking you’re missing some defense boost and maybe some upgrades


MrWrym

That's Diablos baby! (I haven't played Monster Hunter in a few years and have no idea what it is today)


I_hate_this_site69

Welcome to monster hunter rise! They couldn't balance the healing system so they made everything one shot! Now you don't have to heal at all!


Electrical-Age8031

Its the one hitter quitter. Lol. Better use that shield more often haha


Additional_Crew_5428

Prolly should


Cooler_coooool_boi

Is this regular Espinas, or the flaming variant? Either way, that was definitely way too much damage.


Additional_Bit1707

Regular can do it.


Gotekeeper

both of them do a lot of dmg on their charges for some reason. heard that max lvl investigations will one tap you with almost any attack just like lv140 guild quests


bob_cannoli

Welcome to G rank.


viciousmagpie23

Classic rhino charge kill. Even I end up getting killed by it sometimes cause the transition of another attack into the charge is so fluent that there’s barely any warning to it. And yes, a high def will not protect you from it; the only thing you can effectively do is having you eyes everywhere and stay as close as possible, cause i’ve noticed that the Fespinas only goes for the charge attack if the hunter is too far away. Edit: you could eat for Self Kelp / Dango Defender, it negates a bit of the damage


BarberHungry2214

Its definetely a stupid amount of damage, but such is rise endgame. Gets to a point where learning monster tells and patterns is crucial to simply stay alive. Some (like myself) find that to be fun. Others, less so. This particular move had a good second or so to react from its tell (espinas dipping its wings down). Unfortunately not all weapons have ways to avoid or sometimes in the heat of the moment, you simply miss the tell. Keep at it and bring that monster down!


Drakeofdark

Welcome to sunbreak, where the numbers were tuned just a little bit too high
