A flinch shot is a technique used in the Monster Hunter series of video games to mount a monster. To perform a flinch shot, the player must first lure the monster into a trap. Once the monster is in the trap, the player must use a slinger to fire a stone at the monster’s head. If the stone hits the monster’s head, the monster will flinch and the player will be able to mount it.
Flinch shots are an important part of the Monster Hunter series because they allow players to mount monsters and deal massive damage. Mounting a monster allows the player to perform special attacks that can quickly weaken the monster. Flinch shots can also be used to interrupt a monster’s attacks, giving the player a chance to heal or reposition themselves.
