Monster Hunter

Alatreon in Iceborne is the best fight in the entire series. A literal masterpiece and pure kino. Extremely tight hotboxes, interesting mechanics, cool theme, dangerous, truly befitting the title of Blazing Black Dragon
Iceborne was a fantastic G rank expansion and has me extremely optimistic for the future of MH.

The only true part of your post

he needs stronger and better moves if im going to be honest with you.
upgrade his ai to create pools of water by melting ice and then electrify it or create fog to blind the hunter.
there are lots of area denial style monsters in this game already. alatreon brought nothing new to the table besides some silly use-element-to-nerf-monster-skill gimmick you can bypass by just playing well.

sorry buddy that's actually fatalis

actually now that i think of it perhaps his real gimmick is simply copying shit other monsters do.
in mh3-xx he was just a teokusha clone. here, he just takes the area denial. really funny.

He is up there with EX Soulseer and Hellblade.

Wait for Frontier 2.0

His.2020 orchestra theme is fucking goat

Gimmick nova the fight? Ehhh.

The fight is cool but the gimmicks really drag it down.

Barely even an issue if you just use elemental weapons

Exactly.

It's so slow

The whole fight gets put on hold? What?

This, but replace Alatreon with Fatalis. It's quite incredible how we went from literal garbage mmo-reject that is Ala to Fatalis, an actually brilliant fight.

good one. Fatalis, however, was a fantastic fight to end the game on. Shocked at how fun that hunt was considering Fatalis in previous games.

He always novas, and you always have to heal through it since the damage is unavoidable and is still enough to kill you. Its a glorified cutscene.

Wouldn't really call his mechanics interesting but I still did enjoy the fight.

>beat fatalis
>get the armor and weapon for my main
Now what?

Only the first nova is somewhat dangerous even if you knocked him over once. But as long as you have full health going into it, you can just set a health booster underneath him and continue to wail on him while the nova is going off.

What weapon am I supposed to use against Fatty? I finally put him down, but at 29 minutes and 47 seconds, using Brachy's since Ala's was reliably timing out the fight. And that's with the fight going relatively well.

>Masterpiece
>when the gimmick is "use elemental damage and play slightly more aggressive or you die lol"
The fight is pretty good outside of that, maybe a little too much circular aoe spams, but that's just a flavor thing since monster attacks being circles are just weird to me. I think fatalis has a better gimmick of breaking the horns to not get fucked, especially since the fight is still pretty possible if you didn't get both horn breaks, probably still doable if you didn't get one since he still has to hit you with shit

I'm pretty sure you have to get the topple before each nova, I didn't try the booster shit yet since I like rocksteady and temporal for forcing flinch shots

You wait for more AT monsters, grind out more equipment, hunt for fun or move onto some other game

Hunt with friends.
Hunt for fun.
Do AT Velk and that double angry monkey quest.
Wait for the inevitable AT Fatalis.
Give older monhuns a shot.

>more AT monsters
Did Capcom say anything about that yet?

Yeah, you have to topple him before each nova. I was just pointing out that the nova itself isn't a cutscene like you were saying. As long as you toppled him in each phase you can survive the nova and as long as you have full health/health booster you can continue to attack him during the nova. It's not mandatory downtime or anything.

Capcom has not said anything, but the existence of pure dracolite in the files suggests AT Safi was at least planned.

>AT Safi
You know, maybe I don't want ATs after all.

Hey I remember this op from yesterday. It fell off page ten without a single reply. Sad!

Fight AT Velkhana and then uninstall

This isn't true, you don't have to topple before each Nova. Each topple reduces the strength of the fire or ice nova permanently, but not both. You have to break his horn to ensure he keeps doing the Nova you already weakened.

Ala would be largely perfect if he didn’t have the stupid nova gimmick. They could’ve made element useful in any other way, like say making its elemental hitboxes not shit, and they chose to use a cinematic experience instead so you still just use raw on it anyways.

Really? I never noticed that

No that's bullshit, the reason you want to break his horn is to keep him into the element he is countering.

He's bullshiting

they should give each element a status that gives that element a purpose. Fire status creates a burn, attacking a burned area deals increased damage and attacking it with fire damage also adds a small DoT effect for a certain time.
Ice could make certain limbs attack slightly slower, and make it easier to sever tails. Stuff like that.

That's exactly what I said. You break the horn, you topple, and then the Nova of the element you're countering is survivable for the rest of the fight. You break the horn so he doesn't switch to the Nova you haven't weakened.

>every monster hunter going forward will be absolutely pointless to play again after the last update due to the newest monsters always having far better gear
>literally no reason to farm any other monster besides the final endgame one and uninstall
Wow such great game design
