While superior weapons and gear are important, controlling the battle through mounting is paramount. Success depends on timing, damage output, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is a viable strategy for both defeating and capturing monsters.
Using High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method involves utilizing environmental advantages. If the battlefield offers high cliffs, quickly climb to a vantage point above the monster. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches, ensuring swift attacks with your weapon while mounted to maintain control.

This technique is ideal for ranged weapon users, particularly bow users. While riding your Seikret near the monster, perform an aerial slash attack during dismount for a mounting opportunity.
Aerial Weapon Attacks
