Berserk indeed sounds scary with constant health drain but after your last video when you recommended it as actually the safest option I decided to farm some Chaotic Gore, craft me some armor and test it. Can confirm, the fact that you can take the strongest attacks, block them with your face and still survive is insane. It actually feels broken when you learn the monsters enough to not get hit all the time. Thanks for the guides, man!
The shifter dango is really strong with it too. Getting health every time you are swapping scrolls (especially if you can slot recovery up) means you get health twice when you reset the health drain. If you're not the focus of the monster, you can also swap instead of dashing to bring your health back up between shots and keep your charge.
This is an underrated tech I don't see a lot of people doing when they get bonked online using bow. If you're charging, swap scrolls and use the evade, you maintain your charge. This needs shouted from the mountain tops~
There's one more deco you can consider, and that is [Breath], its the one that uses Espinas Mantle to craft a deco that heals everytime you swap with a status effect. Elemental effect are pretty common, and some status like Bleed is straight up godsend with that deco. Definitely a overlook underrated deco
This. THIS. THIS! So much! It’s an incredible skill honestly. It heals blights you didn’t know you had! Especially when the top of the health bar can be very cluttered. On top of all that it also lessens the bloodlust timer by a bit when afflicted with frenzy. I’d like to note that Quick Breath runs on a 10 second cooldown so it’s not completely spammable like say the Shifter Dango.
Amazing work ! This is super clear and helps a lot. From personal experience, i would also suggest Dango Shifter, to almost nullify the need to heal and just swap twice to get back to full.
gotta tell you, i was always afraid with the life drain but have been experimenting with the risen val armor combined with cheotic gore and your guide makes me more confident.. thanks
I augmented my full Chaos Magala armor; Bloodlust nil, replaced it with Mail of Hellfire 3. Rampage skill is Chameleos blessing for chance to get my HP back. Deco is Evade extender 3 with Charging sidestep (the idea is from your Sidestep video).Quite comfy. You're the inspiration. Thanks bro.
I've been on a Sunbreak hiatus since the Flaming Espinas and Lucent Nargacuga update (due to PC problems) so this has been nice to see what I can dip my toes back in with bow builds. I JUST fought Chaos Magala last night too so this video popping up in my feed couldn't have been a more perfect timing 😂👍
As a dual blade user who runs Berserk/Strife, this is the most fun and, ironically, most safest way you can play! 10 out of 10 video. I came to learn something about how other people manage Berserk and I did!
Hey Tidus! You came in really clutch with bow guides on the weird ps5 meta. It would be really really helpful if you could make bow progression guide for the current state of sunbreak on ps5 (TU 3) and end game sets. Cheers!
As someone that never watched sunbreak footage I have no idea what’s going on lol I’ve only played Rise base on Xbox. However as I’ve completed every quest/event and basically just farming talisman I can’t wait for the DLC and for your DLC bow progression guide for consoles. You the GOAT.
Tidus, we all miss you so much! Hope you come back to posting at some point. Love seeing your videos. I received a Spread+2, Mail of Hellfire+2, 3-2-1slot charm on my latest roll, and have one Chaotic Arm piece with +1 Mail of Hellfire to get full +3 points. Do you think I could get any use for it with the Chaotic set? With a majority of time on the Blue scroll, maybe not much? Thanks!!!
Hello! Yes that’s pretty good, ideally you get a berserk charm but those are pretty hard to come by, especially with good slots and skills. In the meantime this is a pretty good charm! And thank you, I will come back eventually but most likely not until mh6 or another game I want to cover. I tried to come back for rise but unfortunately I don’t enjoy the game at all :(
My build includes 1 berserk, 1 bloodlust, full strife and one dereliction. When the Frenzy virus is beaten if you're in berserk mode you get an instant heal.
What decorations are you using in your Element bows? For the Rampage slot if it's 3 I'm thinking about using Daora Soul, or Elembane, just not sure what I should use if it's only a 2-slot. What do you use for the non rampage slots as well? Really great videos, it's helped me improve my bow hunting quite a bit!
People seems to be sleeping on the Palicocs Healing Recovery Bats. That shits insane and have saved me multiple times due to how fast it regenerate health
Can't wait to get to HR and MR. I'm a new Bow user in Low Rank and it's annoying how I have to keep relying on dodgebolt and melee attacks to get proper damage
One thing that I’ve been doing when I get hit. I instant swap to red then back to blue, that way I can heal “safely” and not get one shot by an attack while in red scroll.
great video as always thanks !!! just tried out the build and its amazing would love to see more educational content for new bow players. also what switch skills would u say are th best for bow sunbreak?
Dodgebolt, absolute power shot, aerial aim, stake thrust. Herculean draw on main scroll and bolt boost on secondary (cause bolt boost buff lasts for 1:45min, so you can buff at the start then switch to your main scroll). Thank you!
Curious if you personally recommend rolling off bloodlust via qurio or not. Also I've always wondered what people do when the build important dango (recovery, bombadier, etc) just fails to activate?
if i dont have the big recovery dango just go into a random quest and restart it. if your on PC you can also just get the 100% mod for dangos and it takes out that annoyance of having to do that.
Grateful for this Guide, thank u for listening to your community. Do you have any other guide about how to actually play bow? Like moveset and scroll skills for this build
Hi Tidus and thank you for yet another great video. Berserk bow is truly amazing and I tried it thanks to your previous guide. 1 question: when you say "switch to the other scroll for a few seconds" - how many seconds does it take to revert the drain? Usually, I instantly switch back to berserk and then heal, because I don't want to risk being hit outside of it (happens to me sometimes and always insta kills me). But sometimes the drain is really aggressive and maybe I'm switching too fast. Currently, I am using berserk strife on dual blades so i try to be closer to the monster and it feels a bit harder to maintain vs bow, plus I lost one of the healing decos that heals on scroll swap which I use on the bow.
I don't think you need to stay a couple seconds in red for the drain to reset, I think it instantly right after you swap to red (it feels that way from my experience). I often just spam the scroll change button so that I change from blue -> red -> blue as quickly as possible and the drain resets everytime.
Wow! That's an incredible build you got there! Awesome video explaining how to use it too! I'm just new here ^^ But what skills should i augment for the builds? Are those skills in the "qurio skills" tab? Do I have to get all of them?
Hello, thanks for the build! Was just wondering how much rec up you need to not use immunizer? I have a charm with 321 with lvl 2 recov up but still need alot of decos to complete this build so I can’t really test it myself.
I just picked it back up and got the armor set. But need to grind for blood deco. And critical deco. I got the iron shell already. 3 of them. I get hit a lot though so I get a little nervous.
Wow really nice video. I didn't know the power of the healing clover bats... It is really strong. P.S. in the future, could you show your build with your augments (and talks about it and about the alternatives) and your charm? Simply because i don't know if I have good augments, and this would help me a lot (but maybe not only me) to understand which augment I could remove and which not. For example, I would like an augment that gives me mail of hellfire haha but I don't know which augment I could replace...
@@LyonOlivier69 In fact, for this reason I have augments like: Burst 1 and Blood rite 1 on the legs, slot+ and bladescale on the chest, for example. But i don't have Adrenaline Rush and Mail of Hellfire. Sad, there are 2 strong skills at level 1. 🥲
@@Tonino_lc mail of hellfire isn’t really good with berserk anyway. It’s elem% which is much weaker than damage% from skill like charge master or crit Ele
I commented the same thing on your last video, but what are the meta bows? I can’t find a video anywhere on what bows specifically I should be using. If u could give me an exact recommendation that would be awesome!
What talismans would you recommend going for with berserk+strife? Currently I got a charge master 2 evade extender 2 with 2 single slots left that I threw stun res on
I finished crafting the set, but II'm missing the KB decos to finish off. The build is fun but really scary with the having to swap between and getting hit. Def need to work on my timing and dodgebolting. Question though: What would you say is the best dango combo to use? Like lv 4, 3 then 1? I see people mention dango shifter a lot. I'm assuming we don't need Dango Fighter due to Unlim stam
4 definitely super recov. Then marksman. In 1 either booster or any utility dango you want, shifter is not a bad option. KB is essential to the build, I think you’ll see a big difference when you unlock it!
@@LyonOlivier69 I've noticed Super recovery only unlocks when I'm playing with my friend. is it not available during single player? Edit: Okay I dont think I actually have that dango unlocked so I;'ll have to do theh quest for it.
How to u activate kushala blessing? I notice even with all the regen u recommended in the video I’m having issue to activate the regen an end up dying when i get hit an try to recover.
Mr Tidus, huge fan of your video here. I would like to ask your opinion on adrenaline rush 3 vs charge master 3. Which would be better if I can only get one to level 3 with my build. My build is currently sitting with both at level 2 with one more extra level 2 decoration.
I tend to prefer charge master because it’s more consistant and tends to scale better, but both are pretty similar and which is better will depend on the fight. If you don’t want to worry about I’d just go charge master
If anyone is still having trouble with the life drain of this set try eating for lv4 bird caller instead of lv4 dango recovery. You will still need to grab 5 green spirit birds for max health( 250 hp with absolute petalace), this should allow you to live through a big attack when trying to overcome frenzy or when stunned.
@@LyonOlivier69 I just tested Dango Switch and Goumet Fish and it was very good, you don't need to keep heal it, since you have healing for the switch. Now a question, which one is better? Recovery Speed or Recovery Up? Or both?
Hey! Unfortunately there isn’t any secret, you have to do enough damage to get rid of it. If you really can’t consistently cure it, you can try to remove bloodlust with qurio augments
So i got mail of hellfire on my chaotic gore magala waist. It only lowered the defense by 8. Is it worth using or should i try to get a different skill. I'm asking cause idk if using it while being in blue scroll is worth using it over a different skill
@@LyonOlivier69 hmm okay thank you but how does kushala blessing work? is at an decoration that you can apply on everything or are there any critics or pieces that you must have?
@Tidus69 je me demander si il serait possible d’avoir une version FR de cette vidéo pour se qui ne comprenette pas trop l'anglais et si il était aussi possible d'expliquer la partie qurio skills pour le stuff car j'ai pas vraiment compris de quoi il retourner, sinon merci pour cette vidéo continue comme ça
Mail of hellfire isn’t super good with berserk. Element% is not as efficient as damage%, it’s better to prioritize things like charge master and crit element
@@LyonOlivier69 thanks man for replyng. Few days ago im seeing bow user speedrunner has using heroic, berserk, dereliction, strife, so he switch red to blue scroll, and switch again to red scroll to actived heroic skill. Am i right?
Hi Tidus, can this build go well with Bubbly Dance Skill? Cause I think with Bubbly Dance you can activate Coalescence faster to heal when using Blue scroll
I do! I made a keybind video back in base rise, you should be able to find it in my MH rise playlist. Nothing has changed except the addition of swap scroll, that i put on my radial menu
It’s not great at all no. It gives element% which is not the best. At level 3 it gives 20% elemtn which sounds like a lot, but other Ele skills like charge master and crit Ele directly increase you damage which is much more impactful. It’s not bad, but not a priority
Since Bloodlust, when the Frenzy is active, pushes the health drain faster; What is the plan for dealing with it? I'm assuming it's just a DPS race while in Blue Scroll and healing the health it drained later when the monster is down or it's otherwise safe (I've often found myself forgetting about Bloodlust and look at my health to see it at 60% due to the extra drain it caused when the buff wears off and you need to overcome Frenzy again lol) Bloodlust by itself is fine, I run it in a lot of my builds for other weapons, and Berserk by itself is fine, but man, the two of them together can be a bit overwhelming at times I guess I might have to stop being greedy and bring Healing cats instead of Gathering ones ha ha
If it’s at level 2 it should be a bit faster to overcome frenzy but yes it can be a dangerous time when it’s active. You want to get rid of it as soon as possible but that’s about as much as I can help with ahah. Healing cata definitely help
@@LyonOlivier69 so in that regard is worth running only 1 level of bloodlust instead of 2, like taking 1 from the qurios and adding another skill ? being doing anomalies a lot with this build ( lv200+ ) and i feel the same way, sometimes is hard to deal with the drain lost, probably skill issue as well, since if we do enough damage it will be easier to clear it. i think i'll implement healing cats and followers in my gameplay, since i don't really use them.
@@Maxi-Nya followers and healing cats make a huge diff. I personally run BL2 because the drain is faster to overcome and I don’t really feel like you gain that much from dropping to 1 in general gameplay
Berserk is awesome because you can disregard all resistances and just go full attack power mode and its amazing with Long Sword,but I have 1 question...and this has always been my problem with it lately for the past couple months...but how do you swap scrolls WITHOUT sheathing your Bow?Anytime I tried to do it,I'll accidentally trigger Dragon Pierce '-_-
I know I'm very late but with ranged weapons u have to press R1/RB instead of L2/R2 (for melee weapons) to swap scrolls. So R1 + both attack buttons instead of L2 + both attack buttons
Hi Master Tidus, How do you skill swap with the weapon sheathed? This is where I usually die because the monster punishes me during the process of sheathing/unsheathing.
@@LyonOlivier69 Thanks. I tried the radial menu mapping and it is a lot easier. My problem now is Chameleos' poison breath speeds up the health drain super fast.
Is bloodlust lv 2 has overcome time faster than 1? also is it not worth using just 1 lv? I happened to roll quiro with a decent slots and it drop bl to 1 . I have charge master 3 crit ele 3. mail of hellfire 3 ele ex 2 on my set.
I use 2 but it might be a bit overkill, they tend to heal at the same time. I’d get at least 1 healer palico, with all the healing skills and healing clover bats. I don’t have access to my pc rn, but for the skills try to put support centric and as many support skills ad possible
So for qurio skills are these prioritising from top-down meaning that u want lv3 cm, bladescalelv3, adrenaline rushlv3 and so on? If that so that's not effective at all i believe lv1 bladescale is enough. can you emphasize more on which qurio skill to prioritize first and what level. I currently using lv1 bladescale, lv1 powder mantle, lv1 burst, lv2 CM (charge Master) lv2 Critelement. Wondering is there like dmg calculator to minmax which skill to prioritize and at what lvl
That’s pretty good. Indeed burst and bladescale should stay at level 1. Bladescale only increase proc rate but level 1 is already 50% and lasts for 30s and does refresh so there’s no need for more. Burst gives you almost the entire benefit at lv1. Charge master and Crit Ele give the same benefit. 5/10/15% more elemental damage at lv1/2/3. Only difference is crit Ele only works on crit, but berserk is at 100% crit normally. Your setup is pretty good, if you get more space try to fit in more charge master and crit ele
@@LyonOlivier69 thanks for a quick response but it's not answered my original question which qurio skills to prioritize and at what lvl. Slot wise i can't fit anymore skill, qurio augment wise only realistically to swap skill like for example forgoing bladescale for lv3 CM and any other quiro augment into lv3 critele.
@@abdullohbudhisalmanhasri3943 Adrenaline rush gives raw so it can be better on raw matchups. Fights like scorned magna take very little elemental damage, so charge master/crit ele won't do much. But there you have to make a build for each monster. Overall, charge master will be more beneficial in more situations
