Combat Tips / 攻略のポイント
#

  • Aim for the Head (頭部を狙う): Always use Lock On to target the head. Hammer’s specialty is building the Stun status effect. / 「ロックオン」を使用して常に頭を狙いましょう。ハンマーの真骨頂は気絶値を蓄積させることです。
  • Slugger Skill (KO術): This skill makes accumulating stun damage faster, giving you more openings to deal damage while the monster is downed. / 「KO術」を装備することで気絶値の蓄積が早まり、ダウン中の攻撃チャンスが増えます。
  • Charging vs. Combos (溜めかコンボか): While Focus shortens charge time, normal tap combos are often more optimal for damage depending on the opening. / 「集中」は溜め時間を短縮しますが、隙の大きさによっては通常攻撃のコンボの方がダメージ効率が良い場合があります。
  • Special Skill Preparation (SPスキルの準備): Fill your Special Gauge before a difficult hunt. Using Special Boost from armor like Anja Mail can massively increase your burst damage at the start of the hunt. / 難易度の高い狩猟の前にはSPゲージを溜めておきましょう。アンジャナフ装備などの「SPスキル威力アップ」を組み合わせることで、開幕から大ダメージを狙えます。
