(Spoilers) Opinions on the 3rd fight of cruserweight?

I was wondering the opinion of casual players who don't run extremes or savage fights.

I absolutely fell in love with the 3rd fight of this tier and I feel like it's the best normal fight sqex has ever created, but I wanted an outlook from people who don't normally run harder content.

In my opinion it's hard but not too hard, I think an average group could clear within 3-4 wipes, the mechanics feel good and have pretty good telegraphs if you're use to looking for them, and the story is so much better than the msq story for dawntrail. These are just my opinions and these types of fights are exactly what I think the game needs to help players improve but I'm just a raider so I'm use to hearing my opinion doesn't matter.

it's easier if people aren't instapulling on day one of the patch

Loved this fight tbh. it's punishing but fair

A very good entry to getting people to improve without feeling excessive

Though, I actually liked the 7.2 MSQ a lot too

Hiding behind the corpses of the plants to block the petrification was a bit of a headscratcher for our group, along with the platform transition.

We eventually got there but a few cues were definitely obscured of how they had to be handled.

Let's say for the first try, I got yeeted into oblivion.

I personally love this Tier as well. It's gonna be hella fun to prog and clear. I hope I get to dance with my partner in Savage as well.

So that's how you avoid it

I was pretty confused at first because typically that's a gaze attack and nobody in my group knew so we were getting hit still despite being turned from the boss

It didn't help that doing that actually worked at some point, but now it makes sense that it was because the plants blocked the line of sight

Overall I enjoyed the fight and this tier a lot, it's definitely a step in the right direction

Are there any other fights apart from Rathalos that use hiding behind a corpse as a mechanic?

There is that Nier AR but I think this is the third time this mech has appeared in the game.

EDIT: Got beaten to it, make that the fourth time.

Bozja also has an CE in the third zone of southern front where you have to hide behind an add’s body to avoid a meteor attack that will oneshot you otherwise
