While top-tier weapons and gear are important, controlling the battle's flow is paramount. Mounting provides significant control.

Several methods exist for mounting, each requiring skillful timing and damage application, considering the monster's resistance and your weapon type.

Mounting from High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method utilizes environmental advantages. If the battlefield offers high cliffs or ledges, climb above the monster (quickly, before it follows!). As the monster approaches, time your leap onto its back. Maintain control by using knife and weapon attacks while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is ideal for ranged weapon users, particularly bow users. While riding your Seikret near the monster, perform a dismount aerial slash attack. This can create an opportunity to mount immediately after.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, will find this method optimal. The Insect Glaive’s aerial capabilities naturally lend themselves to this mounting strategy, making it a seamless part of your attack flow.
