I main bow but have a zinogre long sword for WGS farming on pukei and rath (tail cuts). The hardest part about LS is resisting the urge to use spirit blade 3 and non special helm splitter at the wrong times because you will get punished for doing it more often than not. Also, fade slash replacing your backwards roll when you are mid combo is hard to get used to as well but is added damage if used right.

Yep the fade slash really messes me up as a sns main. I prefer the consistency of the sns tbh

Im running Lance/GS with my build and racked up heavy kills with both. 600 the past month with Lance. I've fought Black Diablos, Pink Rathian, and Azire Rathalos

Converted to LS main for SnS is a huge dps difference. Still have the sns to slap on if I want to focus on partbreak or status, but melting through monster after 10 seconds of spiritgauge building up is massive

Considering the nerf to blocking (increased chip damage when blocking), do you think the Sword and Shield is still S tier? I am still considering if I should main it or not.

Lance is sck, but i upgrade it. high defense and high grade weapon save me many potion usage. I can hunt 10-20 8star low tier monster without using potion (if not missplay)

I honestly believe LBG with armor that builds reload lv3 and forgets recoil down is still competitive. I never take any damage on anything 4* and below (currently a 6* hunter) and the recoil is useful for dancing out of range of sweeping attacks that would otherwise catch me. If I get too far I just jump forward and repeat the process. Maybe it's because I'm still a 6* hunter but even with the nerfs it feels as powerful and safe as ever.

I have a lance build guard +4/5 (if coil is swapped) special attack boost +4 lock on (can be swapped) for me this build offsets the lack of damage of the lance. And I use pukei lance for good measure, anything that can chip off the monster's HP helps.

I think Lance has advantages that I think is overlooked ... 1. unless out of range Lance will 100% hit where u lock-on ... taking Kulu holding the stone, all weapons (except Lance) will hit stone regardless of lock-on, on other occasion even with lock-on does not always hit the lock-on spot 2. still honoring the author analysis, I thinking of trying offensive Lance rather Defensive ... Lance make up loss of attack speed of Sword/Shield with accuracy & increase range 3. I am not sure whether you ppl know Lance has a 5-combo-hit charging skill ... hold and release a little distance from monster and you will perform 5-combo-hit skill 4. The charging skill will chase monster that like “running away", without you having to tap/swap to catch up will monster, still unsure whether during the charge has other coupled effect (example shield you from blind effect of Tzitzi-Ya-Ku or maybe negating frontal attacks) 5. With proper handling, I think Lance can move up a tier

DB can access demon mode and hit special with 0 stamina. Additionally, you can keep entering demon mode on 0 stamina and perform a full combo before getting out of it. It also charges your special gauge the fastest out of all the weapon types and cleaves tails like no other. All of that AND it js the second strongest raw weapon in the game, only out performed by the bow, because black Diablos bow is simply broken. I might be a little biased, but personally, the only weapons I would put in S tier are the bow and db. LS is too risky and requires a huge skill level to be useful, where as the sns just simply lacks damage when dealing with monsters that are 8* +. While I agree with you that the status weapons are fun to play, and I was an sns main, using paralysis and poison. That was until I got up to 8* monsters, at which point I hit a wall and couldn't progress. With regular Diablos DB 7/5 I could kill almost any 8* monster, and now that I finally got my hands on some wyvern gems, I can take out 8*s with ease, using a 8/2 db.

I’m just imagining lance flying like the SnS it’s so goofy

As someone who used each weapon a hundred times just to unlock medals, my take for each... SnS = A really good and versatile weapon, that leaves you with little to no regret, the only downside for me is the number of taps on the screen. DB = I only used this for a quick kill while having 80% area focus or while walking leaving 20% focus in game, just by swipping left or right nonstop while in demon mode. GS = the most less attractive weapon for me. LS = It does everything for me from cutting tails to serious fight. Hammer is my 2nd favored weapon after LS until... Lance, I almost favored this weapon over the others including, until I used it on certain monsters with a 2 star gap like black diablos, zinogre and azure rathalos. Light Bowgun and Bow, while still having a poor set and not having any elemental advantages these weapons can get the job done really fast, safe, simple and easy, giving me a dilemma to invest in armors that have focus, reloads and recoils. I favor the Bow more but i just can't ignore the potential of light bowgun.

I dont know if I agree with the placement of SNS and Dual Blades. Not based on on my own liking, but based on the reason provided. SNS is placed in a high tier because of its "versatility," and I get that. That's always been the weapon's niche. Jack of all trades, and even getting to use items when unsheathed in some titles. But that makes sense in a mainline game. In this game, DPS is king, not versatility, and you say as much, when you put LS and Bow in really high placements. Versatility and stuns and blocking roars are all nice, until you can't defeat an 8 star because you're a few seconds shy of the timer, but can complete the same hunt with Dual Blades that are almost a full grade lower. You yourself said that Dual Blades do more damage than SNS, but rate it lower because of "high risk high reward." But your number one melee weapon is the riskiest melee weapon in the game with the highest reward. The logic here with those two weapons seems way off, and it seems a though SNS was placed there for popularity, more than the actual strength of the weapon.

@PauwerPlays

3 ай бұрын

Sns is in a mid tier because it doesn't have a lot of DPS, but it can do a lot to support the team. Its versatility makes up for the dps it's lacking. For the Dual blades, i disagree. Imo the dual blades is the riskiest weapon as it locks you in combos while the LS you can just sheath your weapon and wait for the monster to attack, and it rewards you with a lot of damage. Im not saying the SNS is good or the dual blades are bad. Im just saying they are not as good as the other weapons. They have downsides, unlike the top tier weapons.

Sure i have a great idea for one!

I just want my CB and GL in the game. SnS is serviceable though, and lance feels fun. Shield weapons are just fun in the overall series.

The hammer could be an A list with gyro active. Due to the omni-directional movements which when manipulated fix the reach the hammer gets which feels slightly too short imo... I ran hammer about 70hunts before i rurned gyro on for it. Im over 2.1k on gyroscope hunts now on hammer alone and becauee ive done this ive grown to stay with hammer... if the hammer performed just as same as it does with lock on qith gyro and i had no Omnidirectional movements... then i would have moved on from hammer. I agree with "lock on" the hammer sits buttom tier with g.s. 💯% As you know i farm my life away wirh partbreaker... so i run weapons that give me good break values....and tank them biased on that and the functionality with gyro... D.B sits bottom for me on gyro hands down as well as for partbreaker... D.B are soo bad with gyro on ... even the Omnidirectional dodging feels different then the rest of weapons on d.b. Have you tried doing the dodges that curve with gyro? LIFE SAVER WHEN ON THE EDGE OF MAP

There no worse or best IMO, bcus each people have their own best playstyle..for me i build greatsword and bow, because i like 1 hit charge massive damage rather than atk speed

I will not have this Lance slander haha it's definitely better than GS and the hammer. Forging a lance has been quite game changing for me since it helps me hunt Diablos, Titziyaku and Odogaron much easier, aside from that I just mainly use Bow and LS for other large monsters.

For me the hammer is my main because i like the heavy and powerfull feel you get

I main the light bow gun and I use it because I find it fun compared to the others

Is lance the worst weapon? Probably. I don’t think it’s as bad as people say it is though. Chip and low damage can be can be fixed semi resolved by resentment. The best build imo is radobaan helm and greaves, black diablos chest, rathian gloves, and diablos waist. You could swap the waist and gloves for black diablos waist for lockon and then use the banbaro gloves for additional offensive guard and tremor resistance but at the cost of burst which doesn’t proc that much with lance

@PauwerPlays

5 ай бұрын

Burst is not advisable for lance. Resentment is not worth the chip unless you max it out. The best builds for lance is max offensive guard or max elemental damage with lvl3 guard from radobaan pieces

I feel like this list heavily weighs safety/ease of use over damage potential. The most obvious examples of this are the placements of SnS and LBG which are safe and easy to use but pale in damage compared to many of the others. Which is fine but could probably be stated/acknowledged somewhere. For a list that values damage potential more evenly, I would drop SnS/LBG down at least one tier and bump up DB/GS. DB in particular has fantastic damage potential with either Burst 5 or Ele ATK 5 builds on par with Bow/LS. I think the number one mistake people make with DB is not utilizing the backwards dodge in Demon Mode which has excellent i-frames. Demon Flurry Rush should be used to reposition while maintaining Burst and avoid hitboxes completely, and only used to i-frame if you are 100% confident in your ability to perfect dodge that attack. Most JP tier lists are placing DB on par with LS, with both just below Bow which we all know is OP.

For me as a bow-main the only hard monster is zinogre cause hunt-a-thons suck hard and the ranged-weak-spot of zinogre is so damn tiny....😅 but i'm happy though cause today my first WGS dropped just after my 5th or 6th ever killed 8*💪🔥😁 think that drained all my luck of this year😂😂😂😂

SnS is s tier in the early game. Esp when you make elemental sets. It falls off hard around the end of the 8 star story. Hammer you do not want to spam charge attacks. For the reasons you listed. Triple pound is your bread and butter. Charging is for closing gaps with C2 (or for large window punishes with C3) DPS wise: Bow and LS are at the top. Hammer, GS, and DBs are in the middle. SnS, LBG, and Lance are at the bottom.
