      For all the LS Users with Iceborne. Use 2 pieces of the Barioth Set for Punishing Draw, combine them with 3 pieces of Diablo Set for Slugger secret and use the impact mantle. Now you can K.O Monsters like the weeb you are (respectfully)

          You forgot Exhaust Phial Switch Axes on the list of weapons that deal KO damage. Exhaust Damage from SA's to the head count as KO damage.

            Is Slugger recommanded? i have one hammer build and that has slugger 5 but i heard that slugger is pretty bad in multiplayer. Is that true

              Knocking over enemies by leg hits don't cause stun damage. Leg attacks cause stagger, enough stagger and the monster falls. As far as I'm aware there is no skill that increases stagger.

              Stun happens when a blunt attack hits the head enough.
              Attacks that cause stun:
              Shield attacks (SnS, Lance, CB)
              Charge blade attacks when charged with impact phials
              Blunt bug attacks (IG)
              Blunt weapon attacks (hammer, HH)
              Melee attacks with bowguns
              Sticky ammo (bowguns)
              Most attacks with Impact Mantel on

              I think that is all of them. Hope this clears things up for people.

                Does slugger only work with blunt weapons? I want to use a longsword with slugger skill to knock enemies down more often .
