Prioritizing Combat Stats Early World?

Should I crank UA or MC within the first week?

Need it for hunting and self defense. Got messed up last world start by a guy wielding ceramic knife and shield while spamming Quick Barrage. Had no red defense and got smacked of course.

So rely on UA for defenses (and Bloodlust) with KITO or go whole hog MC (and Shield Up) and work to get Quick Barrage and decent knife?

10 uac is pretty much enough to hunt most stuff for moves, then swap and go full mc with shield up. But overall learn how to run away, get bunny slippers asap and preferably the third(?) perk of forager, it will prevent you from getting smacked more than having moves that will still end up in you getting smacked anyways if you are unable to create distance.

Basically what the other guy said but 20 ua makes things easier, then go full mc when you get weapons

20 if you want to kill armored animals like boars with moves like uppercut before you get shields, although with the new obsidian daggers you can use them instead if you've gotten some good MC moves even prior to shields.

Let's be honest he is not getting obsidian anytime early world considering everyone will be on the case of taking it all in the first hours, this world most people didn't even know about the daggers until a few days in
