As someone who loves to play spread bow with bladescale and Adrenaline rush, being about as close to the monster as a longsword user, Embolden has been a real delight. It's so nice to bring this playstyle into multiplayer without fearing to get one-shot carted if you slip up a dodge.

The zinogre shield heavy bowgun from iceborne makes a return, now turtle themed, was honestly the best way to mindlessly grind the guiding lands. We have our ranged lance back once more

Would really like to see you guys do more bowgun builds, I really like how you break things down and HBG is my favorite weapon in Sunbreak. This build looks like a lot of fun, honestly wasn't too impressed with the skills in TU2, but embolden looks better than I expected. I hate using shield with HBG normally due to how much time you can be locked down with block recoil, so I'll have to give this a shot. Pun intended.

Embolden and Intrepid Heart are Skills I need an decoration for ASAP. If the build allows for it I need both of them.

I tried out this build against violet miz, and holy cow does this build slap. Like the amount of things you can just shrug off is insane, having the monster target you almost the entire time makes the melee users being able to use their giant combos helps speed up the hunt too.

Yes I was searching and thinking about a build tankybowgun and you made it👍

if you want a full tank with guard 5 guard up 3, try rakna helm+jyura greaves, you will probably lose out on attack boost but u will survive pretty much everything that doesnt hit your back(stuff like Scorned enrage will still deal a quite a bit of damage while guarding, and Risen Chameleos supernova/explosion will insta kill you etc.) and those 2 pieces are cheap to augment as well, and spare shot is not really needed

Cotton: makes a literal auto-guard immortal build Josh: **Hungry Eyes starts playing**

i've been putting off using a bowgun in rise but this build looks pretty fun to try out

Thank you for the build! I've mainly only used Insect Glaive and Charge blade but this looks really fun! Easy to build to!

I just want to add that Tackle is probably gonna be better for DPS during monster roars/wind/tremors

Thanks! I used this build for my Lance set in order to get through Scorched Magnamalo

For a slow hand like me, this is so great. Thank you!!!

I tried HBG for the first time using a tank build. I actually feel like I'm cheating with how little damage I take.

Thanks, this made the anomaly grind way less tedious

Nice one man.

Definitely trying this.

Looks great!

If you run with others I highly recommend 1 flinch free. It's normally cheap-ish as a quirio craft but really helps you as you share the close range space with melee otherwise. Especially LS users.

Gotta love Cotton for always giving us a good variety of fun builds. I’ve never used a ranged weapon in this game, but now I gotta try this.

Hey sorry, which rampage jewel did you use? Or do you change it for the monster you're fighting?

Hmm, as much as I don't really like Bowguns for a multitude of reasons, I may have to give this one a try. I knew Embolden would work for Bowguns but I didn't consider the guard skill stacking with Embolden and going beyond 5. Should be interesting....maybe.

Just finding this now, and OMG this is awesome. Cant wait to build it, i JUST got to Anomaly stuff, havent beat Flamin Espinas yet :P, Would there be any pre-armor sets for this to wear untill i can upgrade to this?

Have to say not only is this a banger build he also made a great fashion mix set

I love this channel. 👏

yes... come to the dark side. ....of slowly walking and shooting. you can shoulder check with the shield too, fyi. seriously tho i may try this. i’ve not use a shield on my gun in a while. i’ve got a really bubble shotgun leech thing going right now, and i wanna make an antique machine hbg build cuz its the only new level shot cluster gun 🤷‍♂️. edit: as a long time gunner, i would recommend trying to squeeze in 1 evade extender if there’s any way to do it. they shortened the default heavy roll in Rise, so 1 Evade Ext. is reeeeeally nice for getting around.

Embolden and Defiance is the new Meta defense in my experience. 💕

I keep seeing different answers on whether you can proc offensive guard with HBG shields. Would be nice if it worked with this build, but I don’t know if it works in this game

I really like this video without major armor augmentation! Keep up the good work! I've seen ppl creating videos with CAPTION saying best builds but they have a LOT of lucky augmentation involved and i'm like, meh.

my 1 Offensive Guard + 2 Attack Talisman with 2 2slots will love this

" Grand Reversal Barrage+" the name says it all. It was made for this!

I think I'll adapt this to the golm gun, I already have that one made and the slots are good enough that I can make it work and fiddle with the recoil/reload. With Qurious crafting I'm sure I can come up with enough bonus stuff to offset the downsides of the gun.

Golm HBG is honestly the best spread option available, it's damage output alone outweighs the one draw back of moving reload, and then you have the slot coverage. There's gotta be a higher damage better skills version of this build for sure

Can defiance go with this build as well or is that overkill?

How so you make the spread + jewel? I don’t have it unlocked and I’m not seeing anything online.

this is so dirty! love it

Doesn't Tune Up 1 do the same thing? Seems like that'd be less of an investment. And Crouching Shot/Fire whatever the Charge Shot alternative is called, is a good alternative to use when you downed the monster instead of reloading when you've almost finished your magazine. Also deals mildly interesting damage even with Normal 1 if you can get the full burst off regularly.

What is a spread plus jewel? I only see normal spread for a three slot

Awesome build. Next… hammer please.

i'm pretty sure it can guard even Qurio explosion with Guard 5. You probably stayed on INSIDE the explosion radius thus the damage also got delivered to your back. Guard 5 and Shield can block everything thrown at you from the FRONT not the BACK. In other words, you need to face directly at the attack and not having your back exposed to the attack.

I found the requirement to unlock it, you have to get Afflicted Dire Shell from Anomaly Investigations

I went with a Reload Speed 2, Steadiness 1 3-2-1 charm on this build to max out Reload Speed, as I managed to augment a number of upgraded slots and added extra 1-slots onto the build. You also neglected to mention that the Tetranadon HBG has R Mild deviation. It might not matter that much at Spread's point blank critical distance, but I'm a stickler for getting all of the kinks out, so I slapped Steadiness 3 onto the build as well, sacrificing 1 point of Guard in the process, which I don't think matters much. Oddly, my favorite part about Embolden is that when you see the message that the skill has activated, it means that you are being targeted by the monster. That gives you a chance to quickly turn and face the monster so you can block whatever attack it's about to use.

Finally, the best build in Iceborne is back

Sunbreak Title Update 2: Rise of the Immortals
