How Damage Works MHR
The thumbnail isn’t click bait Elemental Crit is bad but we’ll
talk about that in a minute. Since A lot of us are at the end game and are
looking at building our optimal sets I’m going to show you how damage is
calculated, what that means for our builds, and at the end I’m going to share some
tools, like my damage calculator and a armor set searcher,
that will help you make better builds.
This is he topic hole and this is how damage is
calculated in Rise
The formula they are using for Rise is similar to worlds
with a couple adjustments, but we for we get into the changes that let’s talk about the formula.
There are 2 parts to it. The first is Raw and the other is elemental.
RAW
For Raw it’s calculated by taking your
(Raw attack*
Sharpness * MV% *HZV%* Crit modifier*Class Modifiers) We aren’t going to
worry to much about the class modifiers since they are things like charge
levels but you’re probably wondering what a Motion Value or a Hitzone value is.
(Raw attack* Sharpness * MV% *HZV%* Crit modifier*Class
Modifiers)
MV
Motion Values basically shows how much damage an attack will
do. The bigger the number the bigger the hit. This is balanced so that slow
moving weapons like the great sword will hit harder than faster weapons like
dual blades. Each attack as a different motion value and knowing which ones do
more damage can help you figure out combos.
HZV
Hit zone values tell us how much damage a move will do to
the monster. This is how we know which part of the body will take more damage. Motion
values were different for each attack a move has but HZV are only looking at
the type of damage you do. These are going to be Cutting from a sword, Impact from
a Hammer, or shot from one of the guns or a Bow.
If you want to find the motion values they are being
actively mined and tested by people like myself ,which I’ll have a link to in
the description, but HVZ’s were given to
us this time by Capcom. You can find them by going into the hunters notes and
they show up after you’ve killed a monster. We’ll get to it later but they are
built into my damage calculator.
So next we have Sharpness or distance modifiers for ranged
weapons. Does Bow count as ranged still?
For Raw Sharpness here are the values
You can see that once your damage gets below Yellow your
damage will really start to drop so try to stay above Yellow if your weapon is
at Green and above Blue if you can.
Next we have our Crit modifier. This starts at 125% and goes
up by 5% for each level of Crit boost you have. Crit boost only modifies the
raw portion of your damage.

Now that we know what goes into it, let’s show it in action.
Here I have 125 raw attack, crit boost lvl 3, green
sharpness and I’m attacking the training … Tetronadon’s belly which has a raw
HZV of 60. The attack I’m using has a motion value of 10 and so I do 11 damage
on a crit and 8 damage normally.
The next part of the equation is Elemental then we will talk
about which skills you should prioritize in order to get the most damage out of
your sets. We’re going to be adding this portion of the damage to the raw to get
our total damage at the end.
(Element * Ele Sharpnes mod * ele crit mod * ele MV% *ele
HZV%) For Elemental Builds.
(Element * Ele Sharpnes mod
* ele crit mod * ele MV% *ele HZV%)
A lot of these parts are the same as the Raw. The elemental
modifier doesn’t have as significant of an increase to damage but it’s still
important especially when you put them both together.
Elemental Hit Zones
Next we have hitzone values we have one for each element.
This is the BEST way to see a monsters elemental weakness and just like in the
raw portion this is going to be a percentage in our calculation.
Next we have our elemental Crit modifier and this is one of
the biggest damage changes that has come from Rise. Every weapon starts at a
base elemental crit of 100% instead of them being different for each weapon
type. I think this with the 67% modifier to elemental damage is their attempt
to make elemental viable for all weapons
Note: You must have elemental Crit on your build if you want
to have crit.
And with each level of elemental Crit the damage will go up
5%
Just like with the raw build this damage will be rounded to
the nearest integer or whole number.
Alright lets see it in action. I’m going to continue using
dual blades to stay consistent and to show that elemental crit really has been
changed.
This set has Crit boost 3, Crit Element 3, a raw of 215 and 32
dragon. I’ll be using the same move as before and the train dummy has a elemental
hitzone of 30.
I’ll do 30 damage for a crit and 22 for a non crit which is exactly
what my calculator shows.
Now lets talk about Which skills are the most important. If
you are making a raw build Then you should of course be trying to max out attack
boost and get all 3 levels of Crit boost. But for elemental you should focus on
getting maxing out your element, Maxing out Crit boost, and then getting attack
BEFORE getting elemental Crit. And here’s why
Elemental Crit only increases the elemental portion by 5%
per level and depending on your build you won’t even see any increase in your
damage.
Lets take these builds for example. Even though one has crit boost 3
and elemental crit 3 it’s only doing 1 more damage and that’s only when it
crits. The other build only has crit boost 1 and 5 points in attack boost. This
is increasing the not only the damage when you crit but also the damage when
you don’t.
So there are a few different programs that are going to be
helpful for you when you are trying to make new builds. The first is a model I made and have been using in this video and it lets you see how much
damage you’ll do per hit and the other is Grinding Lands. I’m not sponsored by them or anything but I did help with some of
the calculations. This will help you make sets and compare them against each
other so that you know which one is better before making them.
