Hucast... mainly annoyed by the desert monsters...

Hucast is a touch choice for solo in Ep 4 desert. Without support techs, you're fighting for you life in many areas.

Recommendations:

Get a Cure Freeze and a Cure Shock. These are vital for fighting Girtablublu and helpful against bouncing slimes.

Bring a gun. Handgun or Mechs. Handy for knocking downs Zus, pretty neccessary for the ep. 4 boss and useful for doorway sniping when overmatched in a room.

Use a good crowd-clearing weapon along with your traps. Confusion and Freeze traps work well when used with a good sword or a good partisan. I used Last Survivor for a long time, then graduated to Snake Spire, than Yunchang and now use Excalibur mostly.

Seize special works well in Episode 4, particularly on Girtablublu and on the Dorphons, which you can't use freeze traps on. Use a Red Sword or a Bravace to improve your odds on these guys.

When possible, take a good support force or a good ranger with a spread needle/frozen shooter. Makes fighting in these areas a whole lot easier especially if they do a good job with support techs.

Hope that helps.

Sword not that great for Gorans.. you really need to move around a lot to knock them all for one full combo.

You're better off using mechguns and knocking the Gorans out first before taking out Pyro Gorans. Also use the room space to your advantage by moving far away from the lizards (if there are some) so you can draw the gorans out into the open.
