MHXX Hunting Horn Style Differences

MHXX Style Differences for Hunting Horn

Guild

- Has Flourish (directional A, allows you to play 2 notes in 1 attack).
    - If you only play one note and the first swing misses, you can still get a Pair from the second swing.
    - If you play two notes, both swings need to hit to get two Pairs


Striker

- Several moves have been removed:
    - Forward Slam (directional X/unsheathe from Guild).
    - Flourish (directional A from Guild).
    - Backwards Slam (neutral X+A from Guild).
- All attacks no longer use directional inputs, instead following a linear combo system similar to other weapons:
    - A > A > A
        - Three very quick hilt stabs in a row. Not necessarily better for building your meters.
        - After the first or second stab, can use X or X+A.
    - X > X > loop
        - Counter-clockwise swing (neutral A from Guild) followed by a clockwise swing (neutral X from Guild).
        - Loops into itself (this is exactly the same as your A -> X loop from Guild!)
        - Can use X-A at any point.
    - X+A
        - Super Slam (directional X+A from Guild)
        - Since you cannot combo into any moves afterwards, you should roll.

Aerial

- Loses Flourish (directional A)
    - A attacks now always do a counter-clockwise swing followed by a stab, regardless of directional inputs.
- When jumping off of a monster/teammate:
    - Press X, A, or X+A to do a two-swing attack (if sheathed, only X works)
        - You can input a second note before the second swing (works the same way as Flourish) NOTE: It's very difficult to land both notes on small/low profile monsters.
        - Pressing X, A, or X+A after landing will make you a directionless input attack (CW swing, CCW swing, Backwards Slam)
        - Pressing R after landing will make you move slightly left and play a song
            - This does not have an attack. The encore uses the normal encore attacks.

Adept

- Moveset is identical to Aerial (minus the forward hop and the aerial shenanigans).
- After a successful Adept Evade (during the sprint):
    - Hitting X, A, or X+A (if sheathed, only X works) will start a 3-swing attack of two upswings and a downswing
        - You can input a second and third note before the second and third swings (works the same way as Flourish)
        - You can roll before the second or third swings.
    - After the downswing, you can do a directionless input attack, roll, or play a song (this one does have an attack).

Brave

- Flourish, Replay, and Idle Backwards Slam moved to Brave Sheathe
- Y for Brave Sheathe
    - Hold Y to stay in brave stance (drains stamina)
    - X for Forward Slam
    - A for Flourish
    - X+A for Backwards Slam
    - R to play a song (can Replay)
- Brave Mode
    - Gain Dash Evade
        - X after Evade for Clockwise Swing
        - A after Evade for Poke
        - R after Evade to play a Quick song (can Replay)
    - R from Brave Stance also plays a Quick song (can Replay)
    - Rest of moveset is similar to Guild

Alchemy

- No neutral X+A backslam (have to combo from Super Pound)
- No Flourish
