Some people seem to think this video is a guide on how to be optimal using the bow or how to get the best damage out of the bow. This video is just tips on using the weapon. Many people have argued about using the dragon piercer. I agree with not using the dragon piercer if you want to maximise on damage but if you wanna have fun with the weapon then use it. As you can maybe tell, I like using it so I guess it's personal preference. Have fun with whatever you want.

Make sure you look at your bow, some have specific coating on each bow, some have extra dmg from a certain coating :P

I think when I'm still experienced with the melee weapons and the works of monster hunter i just dont get a grasp on the bow since i want to try it out this had helped get an idea of what i need to do in base game and iceborne

Eat for black belt and drink dash juice then you can use dash dance a lot more also grind for the bow charge plus gem or meld for it at the elder melder. I only use thousand dragons when the monster is asleep and I put down mega barrel bombs for extra damage also the evasion mantle is fantastic for safety and damage increase and flight mantle has great up time and gem slots,- I'm pretty new to bow so I'm sure I missed a lot of other stuff.

It's pretty good at stunning enemies and can easily be abused to never let the monster breath. I used to spam it until my friend got pissed and told me to stop doing it, thats when I found out it stuns people and I stopped doing it. So either they didn't know or they are really trying to stun/tire out the enemy. Wish they could take that off with that one specific move though, makes it a solo only move as on the very few times I do use it with others they will run straight into it. On the flipside, stop hitting me when I am clearly charging up my perfectly lined up piercing shot! I know you guys wanna be right where I am but that move has to line up the end of the head to the end of the tail and that shot takes a ton of commitment as I have to charge my bow all the way up to my 3rd charge, then initiate the charge shot with a long charge time only to be ruined by some dude who thinks his little poke will do better at the exact spot that I'm standing lol.

I use the dodge dash and hit triangle to mount the monsters it also does a good amount of damage.

If you're early in the game, it doesn't matter too much about the charm that you use, in my opinion. But if you're thinking of a long term investment, I would recommend the fitness charm (which gives the constitution skill), the surge charm (which gives you stamina surge) or the leaping charm (which gives evade extender). This is all dependent on whatever skills you already have and maybe you wanna swap around charms later on because of the armor or decorations you get later down the line.

Lance was my 1st weapon, but I switched to the bow because I got tired of sharpening it. I just introduced my daughter to the game. She chose lance as her 1st weapon. I'm not going to influence her decision, but I think she would be happier with a bow. Already she is seeing that its hard to sharpen while a monster is on you (unless you use the fish scale).

Here's another tip. Don't use dragon piercer you'll have more damage by dash dashing instead, only use dragon piercer if you wanna cut tails for mat other than that it's pretty much useless.

I'm a natural with the bow since i played HZD on ultra hard and have 300 plus hours on it before i picked mhw i was struggling at first with the other weapons and didn't like them because of the clunk. And i passed on the bow because i thought i would be weak. But i was wrong im doing better with the bow than i did with the rest of the other weapons.

What is it with everyone calling diferent shots different names. It's confusing me. I'm learning bow and strugling to grasp what move is what atm

Well, you must be bad at the game then lmao

Those arc shot tips are iffy bud. No offense but if you spam it and your playing multiplayer you are guaranteed to annoy your teammates pretty much every bow attack trips your teammates it can be pretty bad. Now I dont play bow that often so I dont know the buttons for it exactly but if you hold down the b button before you fire it you can aim it and the best way to utilize it is while the monster is stunned or paralyzed. Basically while the monster cant move. That being said if you have a teammate that uses a hammer or another blunt weapon like hunting horn just dont use that attack For stamina management there's dash juice for a reason on top of that use the skill constitution it lowers the stamina drain for dashing. Dragon piercer shouldn't be used unless your at endgame and have a build around it. The "best" single attack would be thousand dragons with piercing pods it can easily out damage dragon piercer with limited skills Also there is one skill that is completely mandatory on bow in really no situation should you not have it on unless you just straight up dont have it. It's the bow charge plus jewel as it says it gives you one extra charge on bow and it is way to good to not use its basically an immediate buff to your dps on bow.

Yes, I can agree. There are different strategies when soloing compared to playing as a team. If you are all bow-wielders (or long range in general), then you can use the circle/B button stun attack. However, if you are playing with any melee players DO NOT STUN. You will flinch your teammates and they'll get smacked around by the monster. Exception: If you have a mic, you can let your teammates know in advance that you're about to do it. There may be times where they want you to flinch the monster (such as if they need to sharpen their weapon or heal).

I have 1000 hrs with bow. I recommend you forget about dragon piercer (never use it).
