Back to Game Site Quick Answer
Weaknesses and wounds should serve safe damage. Beginners should not stand in danger just to hit the best hitzone, and they should not force wound attacks through active monster moves. Survive first, then use Focus Mode, wounds, and part breaks during knockdowns or real punish windows.
Damage Efficiency Order
Priority Goal Why 1 Stay alive and keep weapon rhythm Carting deletes all damage 2 Hit safe weak spots Consistent hits beat greedy positioning 3 Use wounds and staggers Place burst inside real openings 4 Break key parts Materials and monster behavior can depend on it 5 Use traps or captures Shortens the end of hunts
Common Mistakes
Mistake Correction Reading weakness tables without positioning Find a safe angle first Attacking every wound immediately Wait for recovery, knockdowns, or staggers Killing before breaking needed parts Plan part targets before the hunt Saving traps forever They are useful for control and cleanup
