Combat Tips / 攻略のポイント

#

• Guard Points (GP): Learning GP timing allows you to reduce knockback and immediately counter with an AED. / GPのタイミングを覚えることで、ノックバックを抑えつつ即座にAED（高出力属性解放斬り）で反撃できます。
• Artillery (砲術): Essential for Impact Phial CBs, as it is the only way to directly increase phial damage. / 榴弾ビンを使用する場合、ビンのダメージを直接上げることができる唯一のスキルです。
• Focus (集中): Highly recommended to fill phials faster, allowing you to use your strongest attacks more frequently within the time limit. / 短い制限時間内でビンを素早く溜め、AEDを撃つ回数を増やすために非常に有効なスキルです。
• Lock On (ロックオン): Crucial for ensuring your attacks and phials hit the monster’s weak points. If the Pukei Lagoon Hat is unavailable, use the Kulu Headpiece. / 攻撃やビンを確実に弱点に当てるために必須です。プケラグーナ装備がない場合は、クルルヘルムで代用しましょう。
• Special Skill: The Super Amped Element Discharge (SAED) is your ultimate move for massive burst damage. / 必殺技の超高出力属性解放斬りは、一気に大ダメージを与えるための最強の手段です。
