There is a new variant on Gore Magala (urgent to get into G3). Half its body is Shagaru and half its body is Gore Magala. I nickname it “Chaos Magala” since it’s wild as all get out, and the male armor is called the “Chaos” series (female is the Nephalim series).

The weapons you can make from it are new single-weapon trees, separate from the Gore/Shagaru series of weapons and they have a neat new mechanic.

For each of the weapons, they have very high raw, good natural sharpness, and a few slots. However they all come with negative affinity (20-35%) that you cannot shake normally even with skills. They have a positive affinity number to the right. So you’ll see something (for example the Charge Blade) like “Affinity: -35/10%”.

These weapons are specifically tailored to fighting Frenzied monsters. If you overcome the Frenzy the negative number gets turned into a positive and added to the right number. So for the CB, you it will get +45% affinity when you overcome the virus. Crazy considering the super high raw. As a normal weapon against non-Frenzy monsters they are not bad, but when you calculate the actual damage you can expect, they are “okay” not amazing compared to the other top tier G rank weapons.

They all have weird names that take 2 English words and put an “or” in the middle, expressing they can be both good or bad, I suppose. For Japanese speakers it’s very odd and often very not-cool sounding. LOL

GS: Shine or Dark

Shine or Dark LS: Chaos or Law

Chaos or Law SNS : Lies or Truth

: Lies or Truth DS: Heaven or Hell

Heaven or Hell Hammer: Birth or Death

Birth or Death Horn: Glee or Terror

Glee or Terror Lance: Sage or Devil

Time will tell if they will be popular or not, but with Diablos G rank weapons also sporting good raw (but bad sharpness) and a slew of well-balanced weapons, it’s hard to tell.

Armor looks pretty cool, too! (I’ll add the skills it gives to this post later, found this cool pic on the web here: http://mh4bc.com/archives/14864908.html)

Happy Hunting!
