Monster Hunter enthusiasts are all set to immerse themselves in a whole new dimension of adventure as Monster Hunter Now debuts its first season, The Vernal Invader, starting on March 14th. This season promises to pack a punch with an extensive range of content including never-before-seen weapons, monsters, skills, and a sequence of enthralling quests, all designed to usher hunters into a premier level of gameplay.
The season begins with the introduction of the Charge Blade, a transformative weapon that can switch between two modes: a nimble sword and a mighty axe. While the sword mode lets players charge up energy through their attacks, the axe mode allows the release of this stored energy in the form of potent hits, such as the Super Amped Element Discharge. This new weapon is sure to add an extra layer of strategy and depth to Monster Hunter Now’s combat system.
Facing hunters this season are the likes of Odogaron, Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, and the notoriously powerful Deviljho. These monsters can be engaged through urgent quests, which add a sense of urgency and peril to the hunts. Invasions are a novel addition to the game's map feature, where the formidable Deviljho could spontaneously interfere with players’ hunts, providing an unpredictable and thrilling twist to the usual gameplay loop.
To increase the fun, players can style up their characters with the newly added Layered Equipment. This feature allows hunters to customize their appearance with cosmetic items that don't compromise the armor's statistics, effectively separating style from function. Additionally, the number of available loadouts has been doubled, allowing players more versatility and ease in managing their equipment for various situations.
New skills such as Latent Power, Quick Work, and Status Sneak Attack are also part of The Vernal Invader update. How players incorporate these skills into their playing styles has the potential to dramatically swing the momentum of battles in their favor. Furthermore, hunters will need to be vigilant against a new status ailment, Bleeding, introduced by the vicious attacks of the Odogaron, adding a level of complexity and risk to encounters with this monster.
Delivering a celebratory angle to the season is the new Celebration Quest Line, a collection of sixteen quests filled with challenges and offering hunters the chance to earn unique rewards including hunter medals and Beginner Weapon Tickets. This quest line also serves as an introduction to the newly added Charge Blade weapon, particularly the Bone Strongarm, which will no doubt become favorites among both seasoned players and newcomers.
For those looking for even more challenge and incentive, the Season Pass presents an array of exclusive rewards for hunters who are up for the task. Hunters can engage in diverse activities and earn Tier Points as they progress through the season, unlocking a trove of rewards. Players wishing for a premium experience can opt for the Premium Pass, which entails additional perks and exclusives not available with the free version.
The Vernal Invader season will no doubt augment the beloved Monster Hunter formula with these fresh features, making the hunts more engaging and rewarding. As the anticipation builds, fans eagerly await the arrival of the new season, eager to see what excitement and discoveries await them in the world of Monster Hunter Now. The game's evolution continues with this update, promising hunters an unparalleled experience as they navigate this augmented reality world. With Monster Hunter Now's The Vernal Invader season launching soon, there’s no better time for aspiring hunters to gear up, join the excitement, and begin their quests for glory and honor in this augmented reality hunting extravaganza.
