User blog comment:WolfQueen/Discussion of the Week: G Version Flagships/@comment-26421638-20190202172647

1) Nargacuga, in a certain sense is precursor of monsters like Barioth, Zinogre, Mizutsune or Odogaron, a bunch of monster who focuses on agility and/or combos, a swift monster like Nargacuga was something of completely new when arrived on Freedom Unite and nowadays is still one of most popular monsters of all time, and one of my favourites too. Valstrax may change my opinion but I need to play with MHGU first, Shantien looks more a final boss rather than a Flagship, Seregios is kinda interesting but is a bit underrated (especially in Japan).

2) Easy target, Azure Rathalos. Not a fan of Subspecies, not a fan of old gen Rathalos and I certainly don't like 4th/5th Gen Azure Los, sure was 1st Gen but a reskinned monster wasn't the best idea for a flagship.

3) Seregios? I guess... I wasn't aware of what were capable to do Narga and Brachy at that time, but I can easily say what Flagship I'm looking forward: Valstrax.

4) Helpful yes, but they aren't everything. a MH Game may be interesting even with a mediocre flagship and vice-versa.

5) Not always, for example I prefer Gore Magala over Seregios or Narga over Tigrex, Valstrax might be the opposite situation in my book.

6) A New Flagship? Yes, I'm expecting a Fanged Wyvern who lives in the new area that uses Ice combined with a new or uncommon status. I don't know... An Ice Fox Wyvern different from Dyura?
