Great video. One thing SFG always do is they always split up all the rules for each aspect too much. My first play it took me so long to figure out the hunter token assignment becuases it wasnt in the glossary. Videos like this help with that issue. Also charge blade gang rise up

Your tutorial is and has been most helpful. I love the franchise and never even knew there was a board game of it, so I've been trying to learn it. I'm not an experienced board game player by any stretch and this one feels quite involved to be honest, but I love the amount of detail and mechanical fidelity they managed to cram in. As for the question, Great Sword all the way, in both cases.

So I have question? About the Hunter tokens. So for example say there's 3 hunters playing. The previous hunter phase it says only 2 hunters can act, and after they do so they turn their tokens face down, and etc. On the next turn for the hunters, say the card says 2 Hunters can act again, does that mean only the 3rd hunter can act since he didn't go last turn, or can the previous 2 hunters attack again???
@CynicallyAwesome

The third hunter takes their turn, and when they finish, all tokens flip back up. At that point, any of the three hunters can take their turn. Make sense? When all the tokens are face down, they all flip

Tried playing this but found we always lose. Either we play too aggressive and lose to having little to no spaces for dodging, or we try to manage stamina and lose to time cards being horribly cruel. When we finally beat the first assigned quest we thought to fight a monster that would give good rewards for the weapons we were using. That monster was Rathalos, from playing actual MHW we assumed that 1 star quests would all be similar difficulty and that it'd just be a different moveset/resists but it's stats and armour are absurdly high. Assuming you still check comments, any tips on combat and the long metagame of campaign runs? I feel like I have to be doing something wrong
@CynicallyAwesome
Жыл бұрын
The difficulties are not created equal. A 1 star jagras is not the same as a 1 star rathalos. I couldn’t really give you advice unless I see what you’re doing, but the winning strategy comes from knowing which hits to take and which to dodge. That way you can heal/sharpen only when necessary to maximize your damage output. Try watching my play through from day 4 onward if you want to see how I manage stamina/damage

What happens in the case of having 2 hunters activate, but only having 1 hunter token "active" does that one hunter take his action, then all flip back over to being active, then the team discusses who gets the other activation?
@CynicallyAwesome
Жыл бұрын
Correct. At the end of each time card resolution, the hunters check if all tokens are face down- if they are, they immediately all flip face up and any hunter may take the next turn including the hunter who just finished their turn.

what I am still hazy about on dodges and sprints is: You can play any number of cards face down for dodge (up to the necessary value to dodge the monster attack i guess?), but they will occupy only one place on the stamina board Is it the same for sprinting? so I can play 2 cards with 1 agility, occupy one slot on the stamina board, and move 2? or in the case of sprinting I need to play the two cards in 2 different stamina board spot?

@@CynicallyAwesome It can be very punishing especially in the opening when you maybe get charged, with a 3 dodge attack and you only have 1 agility cards in your hand, so your stamina board is pretty full from the get go, or you get mauled I am not saying it's an unmanageable situation. On the other hand makes the payoff of knowing the monster moveset all the better. so eeeeh, it's fine
