While superior weapons and gear are important, controlling the fight is paramount. Mounting offers a significant advantage. Success depends on precise timing, damage output, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is also a key strategy for both defeating and capturing monsters.
Mounting Strategies
Using High Cliffs or Ledges
This straightforward method utilizes environmental advantages. If the battleground offers high cliffs, quickly climb before the monster follows. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches below, then utilize weapon attacks while mounted to maintain control.
Seikret Dismount Attack
Ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow, this strategy involves dismounting your Seikret near the monster. Perform an aerial slash attack during the dismount for a chance to immediately mount.
Aerial Weapon Attacks
Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, will find this method most effective. The Insect Glaive's aerial focus makes mounting a natural extension of its moveset. Consistent aerial attacks increase your chances of mounting.
