Which Weapon fits your Playstyle? - Monster Hunter World 

Hey. I like this video.

TheGameconomist you switched up the descriptions for switchaxe and chargeblade. Otherwise I liked the video.

Fishy42 wats ur main weapon?

Insect glaive. I use pretty much everything though. Love greatsword, gunlance & bowguns. What about you?

Lightbowgun.since mhfu im using this to crack some monster shell with crag or sticky ammo in mhw.sadly capcom they remove the rapid fire in clust and stcky.

great! proud of you

Oof

But the charge blade charges a bunch of stuff a bunch lmao

i feel like those 2 weapons were blueprinted as one weapon but they went too far with all the cool gimmiks.

TheVarkYouKnow i don’t think they play very similarly, honestly. They may seem similar on the surface, but the way you implement them effectively is very different.

Actually in the Japanese version they’re both respectively called Switch Blade and Charge Axe so it was probably just a mistake on one of the translator’s end

@@Seven-we1ks you're right about the charge axe, but the switch axe is called surasshu akkusu in japanese so basically slash axe.

Yesss

The truth has found you fellow hammerbro

Epic, gonna try it now just cuz of this lol

As a former hammerbro, you have my utmost respect.

Also as a former hamerbro I respect you and wish you luck on your journey

Keith M have you ever boxed competitively?

Ron Chen big facts

Also the responsibility to look cool while flying

Meanwhile it’s the longsword’s responsibility to prevent the insect glaive user from doing his job at all costs :P

AYYYYYYYYYY

This why ya'll don't get no tail

Image Kid Heyoooo

N7 Reaper good choice.bowgun actually iop in this game and less people apreciate that.light or heavy bowgun are op men bcoz they remove the gunner armor that makes the bowgun user easy to die and also i think capcom didnt want to buff the weapon bcoz of that reason also.imagine that if you bring back that sling ammo 99?freaking op right

Polarbrear too true

Does it support teammates? >yes > Then its a support weapon . Horn mains: NO! THATS JUST ONE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS

Just swtich to quit mode hh butthurt

To be fair, SnS can be classified as a support weapon then since they're the best for using the armor skill Wide Range. On top of that, it can be argued that causing a monster to become weakened from your actions is a form of support, therefor any weapon that specializes in status effects is a support weapon. The real reason people hate the term is because of newcomers just staying away and playing songs (corner horning) because that's the impression they get from the term.

Angry HH mains be playing metal songs with that electric bass from basarios

Yes, basically it was an issue of me mixing words and not cutting the vids between what I said

nonono, now i want some weap that morphs between dual katars and a big ass shield... OR DUAL SHIELDS

Hammer is the best imo

Taunic aerial hammer + a good Diablos shatterer build = speedrun material

+Your Dad I'm actually going for a diablos shatterer right now, got the kulu hammer II. Not too far into the game, but I'm enjoying it so far. One thing I'm not liking about World is the cutscenes can't be skipped and the whole SOS flare mechanic (would have liked it if it wasn't for the dumb game making you play a mission solo until a cutscene that you can't skip). I'm ranting now.

Taunic yeah, some parts of the game can sometimes not make sense. For example, the SOS. But it gets better after HR 100. You think you’ve completed the game but... nope.

+Your Dad That's good to hear. I'm really liking the changes to how skills work and the streamlined gathering of mundane items.

@Hollow Shell I explained why, in detail why I think it's a legit way to fight. I never said it's more efficient with damage, I said it's a perfectly fine way to fight with plenty of positives. So. . . what are you talking about?

@Hollow Shell Hollow, I really have no idea what the point of your comment is. I laid out a pretty detailed reason why I aerial IG works and I never stated in any capacity that it's more damage dealing than ground based. So, I'm aware of what you're saying but I never said that, I never disagreed with the results of the video so.... I'm asking again, what are you on about? Why are you commenting on something I never said?

@Hollow Shell For the third time, I never made that claim. I don't know why you're being defensive over something I literally never said and you can check, by re-reading the initial comment. But, either way have a great night and hope you find a better discussion elsewhere :)

@Hollow Shell I'm fine with discussing, but as I've said now, 4 times? That I've never said it was more DPS efficient. I never have. You can keep making that claim but the OP never said that. There are advantages OTHER than DPS, imagine that. That's why I'm really not interested in discussing. You're arguing I said it's better with DPS, no, I said it has has other advantages and I very, plainly, stated them. There's no words to mix here. And I've spent the last few comments saying I never said that. So other than repeating the exact same thing, I don't know what there is to discuss other than "I never said it does more DPS, so please stop saying I did." The air allows for better dodging of many moves and effects a monster might have. It allows you to avoid terrain problems such as different heights of terrain, lava, and even toads. Also, as I already stated, you're less likely to be tripped or trip allies when in the air. The results, certainly CAN be better with scoring more hits if the monster is flying or perhaps you're aiming for a specific target that's out of range on the ground if you're trying to break something. That doesn't remain a constant because the monster is always moving and not always flying and in different situations. So taking advantage of the skills and decorations that benefit the ground will 9/10 lead to more DPS- which to really drill in I've never said any different. You can evade better given the rage of jumps and your flurry. It also will let mount the monster. To restate my point, firmly is that there are plenty of advantages to being airborne and it's up to the user and the situation to suss out what is the best to do.OR if you're just interested in what's fun, or what you're more comfortable with, go with that. So, I again say I have no idea what your point is. I said flight has it's advantages and it does. DPS is not the be-all-end all of how a style can be better. I'm not being blown up by bazel bombs when going flight, or being tripped by a long sword user. But if the monster is on it's side and stunned, duh, save your stamina and cut it's tail. Can we be done? Or are you going to suggest something else I never said and then demand a discussion about that?

​@Hollow Shell You: "Snotnarok yes it’s perfectly viable. And of course if you like playing that way go ahead. I’m just saying if you care about dps or playing efficiently that’s not the way to play. That’s what I’m talking about" You literally say DPS and efficiency in the same sentence so if you didn't mean it wasn't more DPS efficient, what did you mean? Because there's nothing else I see here other than "you're wrong Aerial is not more DPS efficient" Which I never said, not once. I said other advantages, it's been helpful in OTHER situations. But you can't seem to accept this. You: "Snotnarok you’re still trying to have it both ways. I never said that you said being in the air is better for dps. You just went one step above and said “the results are far better in the air”. You didn’t make any specifics, you just made a sweeping statement that “the results are far better in the air” which isn’t true. Now go ahead and say “for the x time I didn’t say etc”. You’re the one defending something I didn’t say. You’ve literally contradicted yourself trying to cover your " What am I trying to have both ways? Please do tell me both specific things I'm trying to have because I've already looked through my comments and have never said it's better DPS and I've listed specific situations where I have enjoyed better results in the air, one of which being fun. So, I'm not sure how much more specific you want me to be it's already been two very long comments you haven't seemed to read. You: "Snotnarok just let me go ahead and make this more clear for you. You said “aerial glaive has better results” then I said “no it doesn’t have better results”" Yes it does. I've already listed the situations I have found the aerial style to help me and if it doesn't aide you then that's fine, it's called having different play styles. -avoiding being tripped, tripping your allies -avoiding monster hazards -avoiding area hazards -lets you mount monsters easier than most other weapons with out terrain help -attacking specific parts of a monster you have difficulty reaching -detonating blast puffs created by your kinsect that are higher up -Can let you attack a monster, for longer given it lets you avoid hazards. -attacking flying enemies (If you don't have flashpods or they've become immune or you don't feel like wasting them on an easy monster) Those are perfectly good examples and if that doesn't work for you, that's fine. Works for me and that's all that matters when I'm playing a game. I have already stated several times you get more damage on the ground because it's not even disputable- BUT, there's MORE to combat than just DPS, like the above things. And for a nice big part that I'd like to highlight is that the insect glave's the ONLY weapon to have this ability of leaping into the air with no hills/cliffs and having full on combos. So, if you're not going to take advantage of some of the perks or at the VERY LEAST take to the air for some ...ya know, FUN, then why not play any of the other weapons since you're insisting on nailing yourself to the ground. Why bother with the IG if you're going to ignore it's unique selling point and just slice everything's ankles like ALL other weapons. Can we be done now? Is this enough detail? Have I repeated myself enough that you finally get it? As I said I'm all for meaningful discussions but you're asking me to constantly repeat myself while you insist I've said things that you can clearly see that I haven't! When the discussion is me having to despiute things I never said when you can just scroll up yourself instead of wasting our time it's not a discussion. You're not adding any specifics to why you think aerial has no advantages- and I've already stated, how many times now that ground will do more dps? My point is aerial has advantages but if you're gonna be short sighted and focus only on dps and not survive-ability and other hazards with some monsters then why even have the discussion? You're not even discussing the topic, you're just going after me and demanding I explain myself which I've done three times while you don't explain a thing you've said. Just play the game the way you want to, I'm not sitting here telling you how to play and I'm not about to listen to you when you don't seem to even think about what you're typing. Have a great day man, I'm done repeating myself.

Mark8271997 falling shield bash can do over 500 damage with a average crit build... which can be spammed... Granted it is tricky to land it if your target it on the move or a anjanath/deviljho

Who needs range when you’re using a weapon more versatile than a halberd

Befri Rafles charge blade main! I use all the weapons because i play mostly solo, but when i am on a team with my most common hunting partner, he uses hunting horn and i use charge blade and we just fuck shit up.

E K I think insect glaive is the most fun to play 😃

Only 400hours. Man I play too much

metamorphosis sss bow fun af

Opposite for me. I can't master the bow or the bowguns

Git gud

Nigga its the slinger

Local MILF hunter smh fishing pole is easily the second best maybe slinger is third but ghile suit has good dps so it’s a fishy situation

@@modernscream1606 AT Xeno but only slinger...

Its kick

As I like to say, SnS users are all over the monster like a Konchu.

He forgot you can ko a monster with sns

The beauty of the SnS is that you can take up residence in a monster's anus, and then stick there long enough to consider what drapes you want. You can get into the blind spots where you can spam away all you want. I NEVER use the block, and yet I feel like it is still the best weapons for staying safe.

Dealing 500 dmg over 5 second per ONE hit or dealing 50 dmg each per 10 hits in 5 seconds, which is 500 too, is really the same. Its not about raw damage, its about the "dps". A 500 dmg hit per 5 s is only 100 dps. A 50 dmg hit per 0.5s is also 100 dps. The real question is - what do you need. High speed coupled with low dmg. Or slow speed with insane dmg. And that depends on the monster. On how much openings you have. Or how mobile the monster is. If its gonna run laps around you, then go for high dmg, slow speed. Hit it good every once in a while, since it will approach you only once in a while. Having a low dmg high speed weapon makes no sense for this scenario. If you only get 1-2 hits max before it distances itself, then you deal no dmg basically. So for any melee class, at least master two weapons, one of each: slow & hard hitting and fast & weak hitting.

Cap'n 😳

What the fuck. Why does he have that?? Either he got confused or is not educated

He confused charge blade with Switch Axe. Charge Blade animations had the Switch Axe description of changing Axe to Blade.

@@grimv1208 relax scrub, obvious mistake

Image Kid did you just reply to something I posted a month ago...this is the reason I will not be considering your opinion, especially when you still use the word scrub

@@grimv1208 Fact that you replied says a lot tho.

Thanks for the breakdown!

TheGameconomist no problem. :D Wanted to give more info for people wanting to get into switch axes. It's a little more difficult than the other weapons but if you get the hang of everything your dps will be really good.

Excellent description. Mastery also gives a lot of movement options with transition attacks (particularly from switching from sword to axe)

i want to use SA so bad and i have used it but the mobility is so limited and makes it so bad and makes you realize how much superior the CB is objectively :/ its definetely the coolest looking weapon

and if you want to use it against unrelenting monsters such as odogaron diablos and deviljho in particular evade extender 2 points are almost mandatory and thats alot of dps you sacrifice for that

Perhaps you don't know but the main use for it was to play the trap-master in older generations. You can basically throw a flash while having your weapon out, lay down traps (with the "trapmaster" ability, very quickly), etc. In MH Generations, if you picked aerial and also equipped the ability "rodeo master", that would lead to lots of arial dmg which then led to mounts. So, you could basically trap the monster constantly with a rotation of: flash -> trap -> mount For the sns you have two choices: paralyze (obvious & preferred) and sleep. And if you picked a sleep sns, that would lead to 1-2 sleeps depending on the duration of the fight. Then you could sleep bomb that thing. I have one loadout for this in MHG and MHGU where I can paralyze the monster for the entire duration of the fight. If you bring 3 HBG players, this is also called a "hame" run in japanese, hame literally meaning "fucking". This is how you rape monsters in MH!

grmasdfII I agree, IG seems so much different from other weapons, and I use it as my main weapon, without jumping into the air every second and being stuck on the ground it’s really hard to play other weapons, especially because IG fells so powerful when the monster can’t hit you at all.

For that I like to use GS with skills like Crit Draw, Focus, and Quick Sheath as a base, while adding other atk/crit boosting skills. You still have to position right and know the monster timings, but you'd be surprised how effective at hit and run the GS is with the Focus/Quick Sheath combo. Then again, this is just personal taste, and your mileage on trying this may vary.

You just hit the general direction of the part you want to hit and hope that you hit it.

Nah that’s what I do to lol I’m just flying around the whole fight 😂

How? You literally just scroll, point, and shoot. Block if you wanna

RI1SME this game actually helps you save money. You won't need to leave the house anymore and you won't remember you're hungry anyway because you have monsters to hunt.

@@alannowlin4271 The cooking of the food constantly reminds me of how hungry I am

Honestly I was very surprised that Hunting Horn mains get so much crap. I love having a Hunting Horn in my team.

Bless you

If you have room for your palico, give it the horn. That is... If you kept up with the grimalkynes

@@blu5440 I have and I do but multi-player always like having a Hunting Horn along.

Yeah, it is the most unpopular weapon, only 1% of players use it. I think that it's because when most people hear that it's a "support weapon" they look away (and this video really isn't helping lol)

Switch axes are also pretty technical and has it's fair shares of slow animations and obligatory multihits that leave you open to attacks. Charge blades deserve a little buff I feel(not in the damage department, they have enough of that), It simply has way too many requirements for it's burst combos which can be a bit counter intuitive. I was originally planning to main Charge Blades(in the Melee department, since my main is still the Switch Axe), but I switched to Switch Axe because it requires less steps for a similar result. YOu pretty much need to charge the energy fill the vials and execute the right combo in order to further strenghten those vials, and only then consume them for one of the strongest bursts I've ever seen in this game. It's powerful but it gets old quite fast(at least to me). The main difference between Charge Blade and Switch Axes is that Charge blades are more of a burst damage weapon and switch axes are more sustained damage + decent mobility(you can cancel some attacks into side dashes to evade while never leaving the offensive). Charge Blades is more similar to Great Swords and Lances, kind of a mix of both. You have fast poking in the sword and shield mode, and longer ranges and absurdly strong burst but slow animations in axe mode. Switch Axes however closely resemble Long Swords and double swords(or maybe hammers since they lack a double swords insanely fast mobility)

i.e. useless. imagine using SnS when GS, LS and hammer exist lol.
