While top-tier weapons and gear are important, mastering battle control is paramount. Mounting is a key element of this control. Success depends on timing, damage output, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is a valuable tactic for both defeating and capturing monsters.

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

This simple method utilizes environmental advantages. If the battlefield offers high cliffs, quickly climb to a vantage point above the monster (ideally before it notices). Wait for the monster to approach, then time your leap onto its back. Maintain control by using knife and weapon attacks while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This strategy is perfect for ranged weapon users, especially Bow users. While riding your Seikret near the monster, dismount and perform an aerial slash attack. This attack can create an opportunity to mount immediately afterward.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, particularly Insect Glaive users, will find this method most effective. Since consistent aerial attacks are key to mounting, this seamlessly integrates into your normal combat flow.
