I main lance in wilds , and I mained duel blades in world and I wanted to try something new I played around with charge blade and liked it but I originally tried hunting horn for a week like a year ago and could never get good at it but im trying agian. I played a few matches and wasn't that bad I think, not alot of damage but alot of heals and buffs. I just wanted to ask for tips I plan to spend about 10 or 20 minutes practicing playing songs without looking but I was wondering if anyone had other tips or tricks that can help

I don't know if I am weird or if the kind of dooters that share my mentality are not really vocal about it:
I play solo 99% of the time, just joining other people quests sometimes to finish the daily quests or whatever or for content that would be inefficient (kulve in world) or tedious (rampages in rise) in solo.
I don't really use SOS flares, on my quests, if I play multiplayer it is because I decided to join someone else's.
Now, the meat of the argument is, when I see discussion about types of weapon users or youtube videos abut them (don't judge me, everybody poops, I am given to understand there is a whole video about the topic) people seem to consider Hunting Horn players as people that enjoy doing damage while supporting and/or the kind of player that likes to be helpful, this seemingly being the consensus even among the people who need to start every HH discussion with "HH is not a just a support weapon".

I don't get it, being a dooter gives me a god complex: When I join a multiplayer my mind is going "you peasants ought to kiss my feet for enhancing your stats with my awesome buffs. Now move aside as I John Romero this monster... feel free to applaud"

I cannot be the only one now, can I?

So I'm playing Wilds at the moment and I have gotten about 50 hunts into the weapon so far and I'm really enjoying learning it. I have gotten the hang of playing my songs properly by using echo bubble and I'm alright at the shortcuts into other songs. I also know about the focus strike mechanics I just keep doing it too fast so I just need to chill out a bit.

However I don't really know what mantle I should be using like at all. I'm using an Ajarakan HH on the side for the obvious earplugs and attack boost. I'm just really struggling to find my damage windows into some monsters. I had a real wake up call in my skills level against 9 star tempered Gore yesterday because I can't find any moments to play the echo waves. Do I just play one song and roll into really aggressive monsters? Can I hilt stab directly out of performance or do I need to encore / roll into focus mode to hilt stab after performing? Also should I hilt stab when the monster is doing a combo or is that a bad idea? For example Seregios leg sweep or do I wait for the second sweep to hilt stab?

I also know about the optimal damage combo being Song into encore into hilt stab into song and repeat. But you can only really do that when the monster is down so that does not really help my neutral.

Just trying to figure out the proper way of staying aggressive since I play mainly Lance and Hammer so I'm not used to having so little defensive options from neutral. If it's just learning hilt stab then I know what I will be practicing for now on but why not ask the real experts first!

Thanks in advance my dooters!

Working on a horn/glaive hybrid build because I like swapping between both.

Likely will be swapping out the Rey Leg's for Gog Legs for his set bonus.

Quick Sheathe I've found has been a decoration that has benefitted me in dodging more, I also feel stupid that I never realized until this week that Hilt Stab is an armored move too.

Don't mind any criticisms or insights for what I can swap out for better or worse.

Dooters be dooting!

Been playing around with hunting horn.

What's the general strategy with it? I normally do my buffs, then just keep attacking the monster with the notes needed for echo waves, so I've got it ready when there's an opening.

Am I doing this right, any tips?

I'm shooting for a sub 20 Proof solo run. Closest I've gotten is 20:31. I feel like my transition phases aren't going well. When do you leave to swap gear? If I leave too early, the monsters stop attacking each other. If I stay for one to use an ult, I feel like it's too slow. Here's build for reference. All elements have Odo/Soul, but only dragon has perfect rolls.

I got this Gog raw HH with Ebony Odogaron Power, i know is not optimal but i gess is not crap either. can you guys help a brother out?

Thank you everyone who participated and showed up for the Hunting Horn Fashion Awards Show. Congratulations again to Evilia and Cheto. The winners video is located here. https://youtu.be/s9ak486UIPM

How often are you guys performing in echo bubbles? Should I aim for all my performances to be in them? I'm usually faced with dropping an echo bubble then only getting off a small performance, or doing an entire performance with no echo bubble.

So which one is nr. 14 now? One of the lances?

Probably one of my best sequences since I've been learning this weapon.

i've been stewing on a wonderfully horn concept, and hopefully, it comes ascendance, but i have my doubts. but i figure i'd share it with the band.

(moderate to high raw, neutral or positive affinity, and maybe purple sharpness, offset melody, echo wave health regeneration, health recovery(L), sonic barrier, restore sharpness, extend all melodies)

i think it would be a fun horn to play with. what is the thought on the concept?

I’ve been making all of my Gogma horns attack focused thinking that was the best way to make my echo waves(the actual song) do more damage, but my echo bubbles( the puddles) always seem to stay about the same damage. Is there a way to increase the bubble damage??

hitting a wound strike and knocking down a mon from the air will never not be peak lmao

Hilt stab so satisfying to use. Can't wait to punch Omega with Ascendance hunting horn.

I'm certain it's either forward, or neutral, but I don't know which one is best. I think I've seen Uno Hunter consistently do the forward one, the kick, but my friend said that neutral is slightly faster.
Anyone know?

Hello HH’ers,

I’ve played since worlds with GS and I finally decided it’s time to branch out! Hunting horn just seems very appealing and fun. But I wanted to ask if you all had any advice for a newbie to the weapon.

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: I am asking mainly about Wilds, I should’ve made that clear

Looking for a good HH build to take me into Ascendance. This is my current build . Ty in advance
