User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: 5th Gen Quest Invaders/@comment-25119729-20191006174000

1) I like the concept in and of itself, but frankly, so far invaders are nothing more than glorified showstoppers that force you to either wait it out or use a dungbomb for once in your life. It's mixed.

2) Deviljho/Savage Deviljho. Not only for nostalgia reasons, but also because it has the simply best design out of all of them. Plus its lore has the most justification for it.

3) Banbaro. Just what the actual fuck were they thinking when they decided it was a invasion mon? Looks way too much like an ice area monster and as a herbivore has literally no reason to.

4) Deviljho/Savage Jho. Has the most amount of turf wars, has the most damage dealing attacks and it has the benefit of making Bazel fuck right off.

5) I guess it's a tie between Velkhana and Banbaro. Banbaro has no element, no good combos and frankly no reason to interact with whatever monster it is you're hunting. Meanwhile Velkhana probably is gonna make you struggle just to not fail the quest if you happen to aggro it. Not useful in any case.

6) Highly annoying. I can understand it using roars to find ongoing fights to make a killsteal, I can't understand it magically knowing the exact moment I aggro a big monster and homing in on my position immediately just to maybe drop some bombs and stun me with its roar.

7) I just think Jho should have been the default choice for the invasion mon instead of having Bazel be there in almost every investigation quest. Bazel is after all just a lazy bum, Jho actually has a good reason to be on the move and invade quests nonstop.

8) No. Bazel can be contained there forever in my opinion.

9) I think if they were to take Banbaro out of that roster, the invasion monsters are good as they are. Just enough to have an actual presence, but not too many to take over every quest you do.

10) Banbaro for the obvious reason that it makes absolutely no sense for it to be an invasion monster in the first place and Fulgur Anjanath. While regular Anjanath isn't the at the top in Ancient Forrest, it still lives rather comfortably in there, the subspecies should have no reason to leave that habitat and go invading. Hell, with its thunder element it could actually dethrone Rathalos as the Apex of that area. I could also imagine it would have a decent time in the Coral Highlands, seeing as how except for Zinogre, every monster that regulary appears there also has a weakness to lightning.

11) A distinct visual to make you recognize them the instant they appear, a fighting style that makes them work regardless of what area they appear in and the potential to flip the hunt on its head when they appear.
