User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Lunastra (5th Gen)/@comment-31029678-20181214062259

Lunastra, oh dear sweet Luna, design-wise I allways preferred her over Teo and knowing she was finally back after all this time was a really good surprise. Now we just need Chameleos and MH2 ED quartet will finally be reunited again.

I Love the interaction between Luna and Teo, I wish that Rathian and Rathalos could do something similar to the bond attack as well. I also hope we may get even more bond attacks in future.

Sadly her turf wars are reskins of Teo’s ones… however she does her supernova during Nergi’s one.

She and Kushala also have that nice detail of the blue fire wind…  thinking about that, a Kushala and a Lunastra collaborating together would be a sweet idea for an event quest.

Luna received a true revamp and stuff that make her different from het countrepart, argueably she is the strongest “normal” monster in the game. First the most evident, she received the blue fire that burn your health away (maybe too much fast) and stops ranged attacks it truly ignites, pretty nice addition… hopefully other future monsters we’ll  get that as well. She also got some new attacks, buffs and a unique Supernova.

Some people don’t like how Luna is now deadlier than Teo, but honestly I don’t mind. I still don’t understand why she is kinda immune to flash bombs though and why her wings are now two separate breakables.

There's als the strange change in her behaviour... I guess that Capcom would justify it by saying that gen5 Luna is a subspecies or this is their mating season, making Teo more relaxed and Luna more hysterical.

Her weapons, despite being reskins (though pretty fabulous reskins, especially the ones combines with Xeno) are a really nice introduction due to their peculiarity. A weapon united with a skill… I don’t remember if there was something similar in Frontier though, anyway it’s something I really wish can be heavily expanded in future (maybe every G-weapon will have at least one skill? Even minor ones like stun resistance+1 or health boost +1). Her armors are pretty good for what I can remember.

AT Lunastra din’t get many new stuff, I can only remeber that damned increased wind-pressure during the supernova…. There are better ATs.

In the end I’m happy she got a second chance, she isn’t perfect but  a welcomed addition that introduced interesting concepts and possibilities that should really be reused for future games. One of my favourite monsters in World and definetly my favourite DLC so far.

Nest update is... o... here IT comes.
