*skips to my weapon to pretend that it's the best weapon for me*

I've never played Monster Hunter but the Hunting Horn looks like what would happen if a near sighted bard confused a massive fucking hammer for a musical instrument.

I do this thing in MH games that every time i start a game i choose a new weapon to start with, but later i tend to go back to my beloved Swaxe

[NiiSamaa]

The way you display all the weapons makes me wanna play all of them 😂

[MetoTMGchill]

Arekkz just casually mentioning LS's power of god and anime made me chuckle hard

[eldritch_whispers]

Hunting Horn mains, I call forth thee!

**toots the horn of the hunt**

If you're new to monster hunter, pick up a weapon that looks cool, give it a try, check out a weapon guide to see if you're missing something fundamental to that weapon. Have fun.

One note I'd add to differentiate the Gunlance and Lance is speed. At first glance Lance and Gunlance can look like the "Daniel vs The Cooler Daniel" meme, but the reality is that they're two opposites of a coin.

The lance is fast and constantly aggro - chaining that three hit combo over, and over, and over, always hopping between combos, mixing in the counters. It is a non-stop flurry that keeps on going. The gunlance, on the other hand, is slow, meticulous, but hits like a truck. The lance is like the defensive duelist, light on its feet, quick, agile, always in your feet, while the gunlance is the knight in full plate, slower, more patient, heavier.

So while they might seem similar in that they're both big shield weapons, in reality they'll behave much differently, so if you're looking to pick up one of those tank weapons, consider wether you normally gravitate to the fast paced weapons, or the slow, heavier hitting ones.

I've always used Hammer, I've never switched weapons.

There is only hammer in my existence.

[HankJ]

Ichinose said the SnS got so complex over time that now the beginner's weapon is actually the Longsword

I struggled with the Charge Blade in World for so long, but the day it clicked for me was life changing. One of the most rewarding videogame experiences I've had. In the words of Dr. Manhattan:
"It is January 20th, 2019. I feel fear for the last time."

"If you like hitting things with a hammer, the hammer is for you"

>"There is no best weapon in this game, every weapon is viable, every weapon is great in its own way."

JoCat would like to have a word with you about our lord and savior Sword and Shield.

I'll second your review of the Switch Axe. My first MH was World, and I used the Switch Axe before realizing it was generally considered a more "complicated" weapon. That said, it's really only as complicated as you want it to be. It remains quite viable even if you keep it in axe mode almost all the time. Then if you're feeling adventurous, dip your toe into some sword action. That's the main reason why I never even tried any other weapons in World - I was having too much fun with the Switch Axe.

Can't wait to poke, poke, poke, hop into Rise.

[dagewastaken]

I’ve been a bow main all my life, dabbled with Insect Glaive and Charge Blade a bit, but Bow is still 90% of my play time.

MH Rise is the first MH I’ve played where I had this desire to use almost every weapon. The new mechanics and wirebug moves adds such a layer of gameplay that’s just... ugh. Phenomenal.

It’s amazing how Capcom, not only make 14 incredibly distinct weapons, but adding the witebug to compliment everyone’s style of play too.

[Popino]

What i got from this video is that now i want to play all 14 weapons :|

[Redfox-etye]

Altought I'm a huge fan of the Dual Blades, I usually try to adapt my game depending on which weapon my teammates use, in order to be more versatile for the hunt ! Plus, I feel like some weapons are sometimes more useful against certain monsters you face

[VincentVeak]

I'm a MH vet and I'm still watching this lol
