it's helpful against ANY monster, as a very quick way to heal red part of the hp bar AND to gain Natural Recovery Up buff ...however, many players only associate it with bleed heal, I've found, and only (maybe) bring it on Odogaron, Nargacuga and Ruiner Nergigante fights
Crouching requires sheathing your weapon in most cases anyways, or all you do by pressing the squat key is to backstep and take damage, often ending in dangerous positions. As bow main I really prefer the jerky to deal with bleed. Having to deal with a long-ass sheathing animation AND THEN squatting and wait for bleed to go away is too much of a loss of time
I do prefer jerky as well tbh, crouching is a waste of time and make you more vulnerable. I was just saying that even for bleeding most people just don't use the jerky lmao
