While top-tier weapons and gear are vital, mastering battle control is paramount. Several methods exist for mounting, but success depends on precise timing, damage output, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice.

Mounting Strategies

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

This straightforward approach utilizes the environment. If the battlefield offers high cliffs, quickly climb before the monster follows. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches, then unleash continuous knife and weapon attacks while mounted to maintain control.

Seikret Dismount Attack

Ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow, this technique involves dismounting your Seikret near the monster. Perform an aerial slash attack as you dismount for a chance to immediately mount.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive wielders, will find this method most effective. Continuous aerial attacks are the key to mounting vulnerability, making this a natural part of your combat flow.
