All 14 Weapons Explained - What’s The Best Weapon to Use in Monster Hunter Rise 

Great sword

Bow

Sword and shield

Switch axe

I started the game 3 days ago and im a hammer main but insect glaive looks very interesting, so maybe insect glaive please?

Yeah that's my bad, thank you for clarifying

@@darkhero2 Can't upload/transfer from switch... Years of academy training wasted...

The only support it does is carry the team and you can definitely solo with it

HH gods is a rare blessing to have in multi-player. The dpses are always thankful to yall chads

@@Beastleo481true whenever there is hh player in quest, it makes quest so much easier. We can do high dps without needing to worry much about heals and other stuff.

its only mid tier until you master insta block and go full damage spec with shield dash wide sweep combo. the damage is pretty nuts.

😈 why would you ever be out of demon mode 😈

I'm gonna drain my nuts to Hinoas feet

@@shadoninja4388 Oh I didn't actually know that about DB! I don't really use them often but it's nice to know for if I wanna give them a try. Thanks!

@@shadoninja4388 Oops, replied to the wrong person for my comment. For some reason your pfp looked the same and I just pushed to reply to you instead. My bad!

Jesus dude, those are all the most technically complicated weapons in the game. Most people can't even master ONE of those, let alone all of them.

FUGS or KUGS ? im a FUGS kinda guy although looking glass knights thorned GS was also a fave

@@-pressxtostart- used the original ugs (berserk model) ever since ds2 till elden ring. Though on ds1 i used zweihander. exception is bb and sekiro, they dont have a legit greatsword 😅

Atleast BB has moonlight gs and the kirkhammer. I love the kirkhammer

Worst to Best would be : Sword and Shield - It's for emergencies only. Not the best shield in the game but can somewhat reduce damage. Greatsword, my beloved - A situational one as well which is slightly lower on the "shielding" scale and eats sharpness like there's no tomorrow. Also staggers and breaks composure after getting hit by a strong attack (Recoil). Charge Blade - Timing the "Guard Point" (forgot the name) can outright negate some of the damage if you time it right, of course. Shield buff is for axe mode damage, I think. And reduced damage during shields. Gunlance - Traded some of that defensive capabilities for more firepower. Still confused to this day as to why it doesn't have the lance shielding but balancing I guess... And of course, the Lance. Its like the monster isn't even trying at this point. And as a wise man once said : "One does not simply dodge attacks with a Lance, but rather, welcome it." And "Youre a brick wall WITH LEGS! Stop complaining about not being able to DODGE!" With the proper decos, they would all function the same though somewhat different. And to be honest, the Lance and Gunlance usually were the only weapons worth getting the Guard and Guard Up decos for. The others should just focus on more damage or other stuff.

Yeah, paralyze pretty op in rise. Especially when you have a palico spamming monster mines and shock traps to keep binding up the target as well.

@@BLOODKINGbro Not just any paralysis. Paralysis PHIALS not regular paralysis.

Fairly similar to me. My main is Lance, followed closely by hammer, but I occasionally dabble in the GL and CB.

No oils...Yet again these mortals deny the power of godhood.

I dont remember that from 3ds launch of glaive

That is very burned out, there are many players that what you want is only to know which weapon does more damage and is more complete.

@@feedback4239 Just believe in your heart and the power of friendship! LoL, rocket-powered gunlance for the win!

Agreed 100%. Use what feels right for you and is fun to use.

what timestamp

Its a mod if you’re talking about the horse bike from botw

@@sleeperboi8701 got to when he got to my weapons no need to go any further

I've been running raw crit GS for too many MH titles, I need something fresh lmao

I thought this was just me, I have autism and I keep looking for better weapons to play, or new ones to play, and have never really spent time mastering anything because I’m like.. well others are using this, or would I do better with this, and never spend enough time with one, or stay with one

Hammer ofc

It's also a very fun weapon especially when just flying around because you can

Hitting bigger numbers even early on then my friends is just so fun

So slow tho...

@@BLOODKINGbro alphas don't weeb

Grind out base game because you can’t play sunbreak unless you reach a certain point in base game

I honestly prefer the old hunting horn than the one we got in rise, I play sword and shield in rise because hh doesn’t feel the same

you can't use them THAT often, but yeah usually the attacks they add are pretty valuable. most of the time you'll just be using your regular attacks.

This is Monster Hunter Rise. Not dauntless.

@@KlowRay i couldn't tell

some dual blades actually look like claws so that's the closest you'll get haha (theyre in sunbreak tho)

@@kamcosmic Oh damn that is something. i quit playing already tho gameplay structure doesn't match my style

They could just be ambidextrous

because it makes sense to hold a shield with your strongest arm so you have more of a chance to keep hold of it? also not just lance, and gunlance, but SnS and CB also both have the shield in the right hand. its consistent as far as that goes

Nah too old games lookin like a smooth potato

Rise looks more cartoony than mhw to me

I believe that's what its supposed to be even though there's no actual phial mechanic like with CB. At least I've been thinking that's the case for years now

you mean more types than these in the video? no. but each weapon type has many many looks and some look completely different. (for example, there are longswords that look like a club or a scythe)

Honestly whatever seems the most fun to you. People generally say longsword and dual blades are very beginner friendly, I think hammer is too. Honestly tho any weapon will get easier the more you play it so. Go have fun! You can always just change weapons anyways so it's not a commitmeny

just go into the train yard and test different weapons there. after you found one you liked watch some vids about that and go right after hunting. dont wonder if you dont have all abilities. Some come later.

As others speak, try different weapons in training ground. From my experience all of the weapons are actually complex on its own. Even the so called beginner friendly weapons are actually just easy to use, but all of them are hard to master. Below would be my personal advice to newbie and players that bad in the game. 1. Try not to follow builds from content creator. You can refer but you don't copy 100%. Most content creators prioritize offensive skills for speedrun purpose. They are what we called "glass cannon". They has been keep trying and failed and repeat until they get the best result without getting any hits. 2. Pick defensive skills and utility skills over damage skills. For slow weapons, you can always pick quick sheathe. Or divine blessing. Bloodrite + partbreaker can be your good friend as well. Drain level1 can make monster tiring thus they will rest and stop moving after awhile. Slugger level1 is good enough for blunt weapon to stun monster easier. 3. Bring more traps. Always take a shock trap and pitfall trap in every loadout. 4. Customize well your pet partners. Both cat and doggy are useful. Cat for utility and dog for damage. 5. If you are still cart always... then you can try sns first. SnS can guard, bash and stun with shield, eat foods/potions with weapon unsheathe. The only downside is their damage might slightly lower than others, and also their weapon reach is kinda short. But once you mastered it, SnS dps could be on par with others as well. 6. If you still think SnS is hard... you might as well just go for charge blade no brainer playstyle which the one that nonstop keep chainslash to air. That build is just...no brainer. Lol... you can search for it. If you cant get it, reply here I can search for you.

All of the above but at least i can say to you the ones who are not beginer friendly aka GunLance and ChargeBlade

@@alexandregalanth5195 Charge blade is really easy once u toy with it a bit. I didn't even acknowledge its existence in Iceborne, but it's been main in Rise the so far.

@benyamin Saki that'll soon change when Sunbreak drops. i promise you bruh. 👍

They're gone in sunbreak

They are gone in sunbreak and you can ask for help with the mandatory story one. That's what I did

Do you not notice the accent?

Nvm

@@battlefora3dscollab it says "lens" in the timestamps. thats what I meant

@@derkobold8214 He did that for other weapons as well, just look at bowgun. Pretty sure it's just a joke on his part because he knows he says it weird because of the accent.

my guy.. I was a speedrunner in mhw and still practice now and again. Patterns DO matter. You can see the initial frames of a monster's attack, and if you're well enough acquainted with them, know exactly how you can make the best out of that and abuse it, especially with weapons like GS where noticing a pattern can make you start the charge much faster and head sniping.
