@@MysticGohan01 playing longsword, don't worry too much about it. Some faster elemental weapons like dual blades get most of their damage from using an element that the monster is weak to. Because of that, when you first build, lets say a fire dual blade, and you go fight a rathalos or something resistant to fire, then your damage drops immensely. To get the most out of those kind of weapons, you often "need" one of each element. "Need" in quotation because you can always just brute force your way through, your hunts will just be way longer.

"There is no bad MH weapon. Only used differently" Now that's a great quote and way to talk about each weapon without causing a flame war.

Great video as always. I only want to advocate for my favorite weapon, the switchaxe. One of the best thing that I forgot that you could do in iceborne is when your sword mode goes away, but you still have the zero discharge ready, you can grapple on a monster and zero discharge even if the sword mode isn't ready. It doesn't make it completely stronger or changes the tier, but it's a cool technic for who struggles a bit with the switchaxe. I'm playing rise recently, but I also got back to world to play with two friends that start now and it's wonderful to remember those little tricks again.

It's been awhile since I last played, but as someone who ended up trying lance and loving it one of the most important things to remember about it is that it has insanely high uptime. Once you learn the timings of the boss' attacks you almost never have to stop attacking. Just keep stabbing and when they try to attack you just counter through it and go back to stabbing. This also makes it amazing at applying status effects. Hell you can even counter through monster roars really becoming an unstoppable force.

Making players trip in multiplayer is an inherently terrible mechanic and needs to go - I am absolutely ready to die on this hill. I don’t care if you can slot in flinch free. Creating a mechanic like tripping other players is just fundamentally bad, because why implement something that naturally creates animosity against other players in a multiplayer focused PvE game? It just needs to go.

Even if they keep the tripping on some moves, they need to take the lesson they did from Risebreak and make the flinch-free the smallest deco so that it is at least easy to fit in; Worldborne having it as a 3 gem means that most people won't want to fit it in because of the large host of damage-focused gems that are better used instead. Rise was better with their gem being a 2 slot, and then Sunbreak went even further and gave us a postgame gem that was basically perfect flinch free (because too much flinch free actually make it that you can't hit other players out of stun, sleep, or paralysis), and made it a 1 slot to boot.

Very cool video, and the rating by weapons guys players is a good and funny idea^^ Thx^^

I’m not offended that you’re not as big on Bow Tera, we all have our subjective opinions. Also this explains all the recent community posts in the past few weeks. In World, all I’ve played in is Bow, and I have no where near as much experience in the other weapons, at least compared to Sunbreak, Portable 3rd or Freedom Unite, where I’ve played every weapon extensively. Though that’s just certainly a matter of time investment and hardly not being interested in playing other weapons, I just wanna solo everything with Bow due to being sold on it. Though I’m definitely just biased because Bow is my favorite weapon, my second favorite being Lance. Every weapon has its fans, and whatever we enjoy is purely up to us to decide, and it’s healthy to talk about what we love in our favorite weapons and how we recommend them to people trying to find something that works for them.

The placing of DB by both you and the community give me more confidence as a DB main. I still think there's a lot more I can learn to do with this weapon. That being said, the very short reach can be an issue especially with big monsters that have weak spots in difficult-to-reach areas or just the ones that are constantly flying. I still need to find a good balance between Elemental damage and stamina consumption skills, also I'm heavily debating what's more relevant, if Evade Extender or Evade Window.

I've always used HBG, LBG and SnS, but after playing around with Lance I finally found my main weap, it is super aggressive and dish out a lot of dmg, it does make you feel great going face to face against the monster and reacting to everything they throw at you.

I love my Glaive, over 1000hrs on world and its my fav its the most fun once you get the hang of harvesting the kinsect and the vaults you can deal sustainable damage not heavy but pretty consistent, also suggest focusing on the evasive skills, my second fav is the charge blade

swapped to Gunlance about 40~ hours of playtime ago... and you're absolutely right. it was a shitshow at first but now idk if i'll ever switch to something else. The damage is crazy and shells do their damage no matter where you hit. The mobility takes getting used to... but once you realize you can hop backwards further/faster than if you hop forwards... it's a game changer lol although you look like a psycho doing it. The Vaal GL w/ long shell is my fav right now. I really enjoyed the normal shelling but i realized i can DPS faster with long shell holding the button to do the charged shell shot. the slinger/wyvern thing where you attach a bomb to the target is amazing as well... it "almost" doubles all the damage you're doing with shells... so my 150~ damage charged shell now does 250 (150 + 100 from the bomb proc). The shield is insane with guard skill maxed out - i wear a charm that gives lv 4 and 1 charm for lv5. I do recommend getting sheathing speed skill to at least lv2... you've gotta sheath a lot with the GL just like the greatsword. Goodluck to all you hunters out there.

I love the gunlance ! It's my fav weapon in world and in GU. The only gripe i have with it in world is that it lost the awesome out-of-shield shell advance that it had in the older games. It's been replaced by the forward hop but I think the shell advance was a much better out of shield option and combo opener. (You can still do it but not from a shielded position, which is what I liked about it the most in GU)

I once played with a HH main who, not lying, used some weird buff stacking that regenerated about 70% of any HP lost within 2 seconds of getting hit. And he dropped on the ground a buff that would further extend this insane regen like Vaal Hazak armor - bringing me back up to full over like 10 seconds. I wish I could stomach the insanely slow attack speed of the horn in this game because, man, that HH turned 3 carts vs velkhana to being able to close my eyes and 0 cart tank to the end.

​@@granthefato340 I remember seeing a breakdown of speedruns in Rise on 1.0 release - the HH was near the bottom in solo but the best single weapon to bring in 4 player coop, provided only one player was using it, due to the Atk Up buff.

S-tier on mostly solo standpoint is where weapons have the best mobility to chase, evade and/or guard while dishing out major damage. That's-- SnS, LS, Lance-- maybe CB (takes a lot of mastery but it does A LOT) and honorable mention to HH (can buff as if ur a 5-man teams worth of damage), Bow, IG, and Hammer--have decent variety of attacks and dodge friendly moveset. Other weapons have their niche expertise on some hard bosses and can achieve crazy consistency but usually takes a little more effort skill, and investment to dish out major damage, fast hunts, and near flawless run altogether. Like longer animation locks (GS, Hammer, HBG, DB), low mobility (SA, GS, HBG), lacks reach (DB), much investment (HBG, LBG), usually lacks damage (LBG, Bow) P.S. even LS and Lance have their drawbacks (lol SnS is king) --a HH and Hammer main

Sticky light bowgun with maxed slugger is some of the most fun I’ve had in world, and shines even more in multiplayer. Just running around shooting the monster and getting 4-5 stuns per fight on basically anything is so satisfying. Sure, heavy bowgun could probably out dps it, but in exchange you get much more mobility plus the sliding reload. Only real con imo is how intensive it is to set up, between farming all the ammo and getting the armor you need for it, but once you’ve got enough inventory to not care about burning items it’s a lot of fun

it’s great to see that all the weapons are viable and fun, huge accomplishment honestly. for me the great sword is just total domination you feel like you are the monster like you have unlimited power

I have 150h+ with the Hunting Horn and I appreciate all the support (no pun intended!). But after a while, it gets tiresome to maintain the self buff constantly active. Plus, solo hunts take forever, the damage simply isn't there, regardless of how well you play. I also found it better to pre-buff before arena fights, but that also is a pain in the ass. Lastly, most players don't seem to understand what you are doing for the team; for instance some Dual Blades users don't have idea why they can somehow keep Demon Mode so active (because of our Stamina Buff, c'mon!). Weapon design is silly, elemental damage doesn't pay off, etc.. so, even though I used to be a HH main, for me it is a B tier. Fun to use, mobile, but 1h for each solo hunts is too much.

Love how this game is alive again right now I made a new character and already beat fatalis with 100 hours on that character

Eyyy, got my comment read! My feeling about these lists is something I commented on one of the polls. Picking S tier for a weapon is like picking a favorite character in Lord of the Rings (the proper trilogy, obviously). Any choice is perfectly reasonable. And the gap between Sam and Legolas isn't anything like the gap between Infinity War and She Hulk. More like Empire and A New Hope. The biggest compliment to this game's combat system is that there simply are no bad weapons. They're all just different levels of absolutely excellent.

My personal Tier list (Biased lance main btw) S - Lance

One of my least/favorite things about hammer it is the opposite of long sword. It gets punished the most when long Sword flinches you, but you shouldn't get flinched because of monster part placement. So the only reason a long sword is flinching you is because they are at the head, and that's your space gosh, darn it. I really think Capcom gave the hammer the uppercut just so that hammers can give the ultimate revenge against longsword users.

Hey man, great video! I gotta say the community is right on the bow. As a GS main who recently restarted the game using bow, im willing to to lay down for the bow and say the bow is literally the polar opposite of GS. Instead one big number you do many, many numbers. Instead of being locked in place youre quite agile. The damage you can put out is insane. And you CAN cut off tails. Yes i said it... ive made it my goal ever since i learned i could do it. Gearing is not complicated either just match element weaknesses on bow. The rotations, like GS, are fairly basic; and like GS and most weapons, in depth monster and game knowledge will be needed. Combined the bow is a very satisfying and devastating weapon

Wyvernblast mod 2 is heavy slept on. So fun when you want to chill lbg gun run but also want to flex your knowledge of monster attack and punish by throwing a grenade that does damage based on the power of the attack

15:50 You can stack the Echo 3 times, play all three then recite it. This will make all the Echo hit at the same time giving you damage similar to a Great Sword True Slash. Not the same damage output but roughly the same. After 600+ Hours got my first 3 stack Wake up. No one thinks about this during Wake up as almost no one sees this due to us Hunting Horn Mains being few and far between. Also Hunting Horn songs can give: Divine Blessing, Earplugs, Muck Buff ( Normal Walking speed in mud and snow ), Tremor Resist, Affinity Buff (10% then 20% ), Wind Resistance, Anomaly Resist (Resists Vaal Hazak Status, Sleep, Bracky's and Tero's Blast Blight etc), Blight Resist or Blight Null ( Shortens or Null: Thunder, Dragon, Fire ), Health Boost ( Heals the first time and increases Max HP to 200. ), Stamina Cost Reduction ( Mega Stamina Drink buff ) Thats the standard songs, not the songs that need to spin. ( Seen in video: Impact Echo Wave and Dragon Echo ) Impact Echo Wave gives extra KO Damage. Dragon Echo give Dragon Damage and possibly Dragon Seal? Guessing on that last bit as it seems to drag out their Dragon Abilities. Those songs drop light puddles, Green = Health Regen, Blue = Walking Speed and Evade Window, Yellow = Stamina Regen + Mega Stamina. Walking into the puddle twice for the Buff Boost. This buff isn't effected by Melody Extend so it needs to be dropped again to get it again.

Realistically most will use the same attack melody found on fatty's horn, which centers around attack up L/XL and melody effects extended. The wake up also still is behind TCS by a fair amount, but it is a good alternative should you not have a GS. Presumably most do not know of it because it requires proper recital and encore positioning and usage or you may wake up the monster on accident with an echo or shockwave.

Starting MHW over again and I wanna try something different this time. I usually play CB, but I used to used the GS in the older games. You made the GL look so fun tho, I think I might try that next.

Dont downplay the HBG. It's a no brainer that its the best weapon type in the game even with all the "nerfs" it's recieved over the years. Not only is it's damage uncontested it gives access to KO and wvery other status ailment and can also deal elemental damage. On top of that it can provide a bit of support by buffing teammates with demon and armor ammo. On top of that, not only can it equip a shield that makes fights trivial, but it can equip attachments that increase its dps or utility as well. Making it all-round the king of Monster Hunter. The LBG is close behind it as it can do everything the HBG can but has smaller clip sizes. However, it makes up for this by having rapid fire ammo which increases the ammo efficiency of every round substantially. With rapid fire elemental ammo they can easily decimate any monster in the game.

Thank you for comments on lance. Definitely very aggressive in the right hands. It's not defensive. It's counter-offensive. Also, the guard capabilities are even better than in your gameplay feature. Pretty sure you had room for more levels of guard.

awww man it’s a bit of a bummer seeing lance so universally low it’s my favorite counterpick weapon and world made it SO mobile with guard dashes (which blocks 360 degrees for some reason) and charges (which can TURN AROUND NOW). Lance rarely has a moment where it can’t block and counter and that makes for such an incredible experience counterpicking diablos or even rathian Something I didn’t see get mentioned is how Lance can actually be a mounting god of a weapon, the charge attack has a jump variation that does mounting damage( ALSO benefitting from Airborne decorations) leading to situations where you can mount three times per hunt for your team’s damage. Lance is also extremely easy to build, in my opinion all the generic damage buffs apply and the only game changing skills are guard, guard up and offensive guard. Just writing for appreciation, I really love the list and everybody’s opinion

One thing I would add about long sword is that it can still hinder your teammates because of the ridiculously wide attacks. Specifically lances and sometimes HBG with shield mod get kinda screwed because LS hits their shield and shieldstuns them when they didn’t want to. Or even worse, hit lances counter, and make them counter the wrong move and take the hit from the one they meant to counter. I can’t tell you how many times that’s happened to me, and more often than not it’s a LS that did it, because it attacks so wide.

As a lightbow gun main I like this video

hey, what is the layered armor you using in the hh/cb section?

Fun Fact: MHW HBG is the best DPS weapon in the game, beating Great Sword because of Spread, more specifically Fatalis "Vore Buster" combined with the armor, spread and pierce can shoot more than 10 times which is insane

Assuming that by the best you mean the most effective weapons are for most players when played as intended (which is what weapon tier list is for me), as a mediocre speedrunner I have to disagree with a lot here: 1. The most glaring problem here is that you placed Bow as B tier while it's one of the best weapons in the game both for casual play (as it's basic flowchart is extremly easy and consists of literally 3 moves) and speedrunning. It's only downside is that it requires a good build to work properly but after fatalis, AT velkhana (and safi)making good builds for any weapon is fairly easy as long as you have all lvl 1-3 decos (level 4 decos are nice but you don't really need them for most builds to work). Bow is easily the 2nd best weapon (maybe 3rd because of the build problem) 2. As much as I love hunting horn and think that for casual play is very underrated and can compete with other melee weapons damage wise it's nowhere near S tier. It's buffs are nice for multiplayer but for solo they aren't strong enough to put HH above pretty much any other weapon than Lance or Gunlance. I think that it's multiplayer application put it in low A tier but S is way too high. 3. Light bowgun should be S tier, the only reason why people don't put it in S tier is because HBG is just so much better than every other weapon that it's easy to forget about LBG but it's still one of the best DPS weapons with high mobility and CC options. It does pretty much everything, with it's only problem being that it's too similar to HBG which as said before is broken beyond comparison. Also even though I agree with Gunlance placement for general playerbase but I think it's important to mention how broken gunlance really is when used for speedrunning. There is basically a glitch/expliot with gunlance wyrmstake where if you place a snowman on the ground where monster is and put wyrmstake inside both the monster and the snowman you deal an absurd amounts of damage. Sadly that strategy even though is as overpowered as it can get, HBG is still better against some monsters.

As a Lance main, I am greatly disappointed by the placement of my and my cousin's weapon(gunlance) placement. The lance can have a very high skill ceiling if you play Evade Lance-style. PLUS COUNTER GUARD!!!!!

@natural9721 outside of Gut's sword, the weaponry if fairly tied to medieval claymores without truly going out of the realm of usability. Where as bleach consistently has weapons far too long & large to be practical from nearly everyone in the show, not just the main character.

I switched from Switch axe to SnS with iceborne and it was eyeopening. Making 180 degree turns at any time + shotgun into perfect rush felt so powerfull. I also thought that getting safi agro most of the time confirmed my thesis about my dps output. Playing LS on my second playthrough now and while it is really fun. SnS felt more aggressive to play.

I find I have to be in the right mentality to play switch axe effectively, its a "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me weapon" you basically have to commit to hyper aggression and perfect low movement dodges. The Switch axe is probably king of aggressive melee versatility, it has reach, speed, damage types, status types, burst and consistent dps etc. Any type of defensive thinking beyond setting up for the next hit before unloading your zero sum discharge, is more or less a mistake. You basically have to move and act like you are an apex monster even when you don't have the gear/weapon tier to back it up, because its just how the weapon is run. SnS has versatility in a different way, you can play it hyper aggressively but it really is more of an all arounder mixing versatile defensive and offensive options. A lot of people choose SnS on new monster encounters for this reason because you can take the time to learn the monsters move sets, pot, and set up traps without sheathing your weapon... and then use these advantages to win on the first go even against difficult monsters.

Tier list on both sides are fair and well done with minor changes that have valid points to them. Though in the end every weapon is good once mastered and seeing that none of them ended up bellow B tier means the developers work hard to make sure every weapon not only feels good to use but is also fun. On another note my baby SNS getting S and A makes me happy.

what is the name for the gold outfit in hunting horn section? is it a mod? and what the mod name? thanks b4

Hunting horn, my beloved!

I know this is pretty oate, vut what was that first song you used in the background? It sounds so familiar but i cant put ny finger on it

If you wanna know the tier list for weapons, just look up speedrunning leaderboarda and the best times for weapons. And boom, there's your tierlist. Love when youtubers fish for content

what gesture are you guys using at the very beginning of the video?

HH helped me clear Kushala MR & HR solo,but hammer go bonk

Grab a gunlance with wide 7 with the highest raw, guard 5, Artillery 5, guard up, and any extra skills of your choice, and you have unlocked super easy noob mode for any Monster game. All you do is just shoot, reload, block, wyvern fire, and spike on opening and repeat. No poking.

I think the reason longsword gets slapped with the Weeb lable is that because of how ridiculously long the katana is, it's reminiscent of that "Mall Ninja" aesthetic. You know, cheap ninja stars and rainbow chrome eastern swords with "Heaven" or "Spirit" engraved on them. Somebody who's "studied the blade" and "glorious nippon steal folded 1000 times".

Finally someone mentioning that hunting horn is not support weapon.. note i am a Hunting Horn main

Subbed. Been running around GL waiting for KT event to rotate, listening to Tekken music. Had me on that alone.

Great video big damage

My heart crumbled a little when I saw you waste that spirit gauge with the iai spirit slash on girros. I remember my days as an LS main but I went back to my roots as a GS player Cause LS didn't exist in MHFU lol Now it's more like I'll grab it for comfy or I'll just use HBG because I get to ignore anything the monster does

Axe mode is for when sword Mode is down but also for tripping

I didnt know much about the Hunting Horn until now thanks but i did know its not as good as youd think in world but I didnt know it was for the reasons you gave I always thought it was just overshadowed by the palico gadget you get from the coral highlands and its like "why use hunting horn when you can get your cat to do it"

I feel like SnS is the kind of weapon where I know it's a fantastic weapon, yet there's just something missing, it doesn't have that x factor that some other weapons have... I've never played SnS and felt like I had a bad match-up, but I've also never truly felt like a badass while using it if that makes sense. Nothing that makes you feel like you do when you hit a perfectly timed TCS on GS, a perfectly timed iai counter on LS, or the beyblade move on DB. I also think alot of people overestimate the learning curve on GS... I would argue that while mastering GS is hard, the weapon is still very beginner friendly since you can always just adapt a draw attack playstyle, not only is this very easy to build for, but it makes for one of the safest playstyles while getting used to the monsters. It has a very low animation commitment and you can get very good poke damage in very fast... Just 3 levels of quick sheathe and 3 levels of crit draw and you're cruising through most of the game already.

I think the baddassness factor is dependent on the individual playing it. I main sns and i although i do think other weapons are cool but overall istill think beating a huge monster with nothing but a tiny sword and a small shield is the best. I also like the idea of using items while swinging for more environmental control with traps and stuff. Plus shield bashing diving attacks, claw uppercuts and evading backsteps just make me feel like a fucking god lol. Very fair point though and thats why monsterhunter is great cause it has a weapon for everyone

@Kriss_941

@@fuwafuwamofu4967 I think what I miss from SnS is that big flashy signature move, GS has TCS, CB had SAED, LS has the Spirit Helm Breaker and iai counter, DB has the beyblade, Swaxe has the ZSD, bow has the dragonpiercer and 1k dragons, and Gunlance has the full burst. These moves aren't necessarily even the strongest for the weapon, but they're big and flashy and fun as hell when you pull them off. For example dragonpiercer is pretty much always a DPS loss on bow, but nobody can come here and tell me it doesn't feel amazing to charge up a full dragonpiercer and watch 50 numbers pop up as you fire that shit straight into Xeno's face during his enrage!

whats the name of the Gunlance in the video??

I'd really love to see new weapons on wild or even return weapons like the tonfa like weapon..

Dual Blades top tier , higher skill ceiling than people think. And it is insane where you can abuse slopes with sliding affinity against monsters with a juicy spinnable head-to-tail like Nergigante and Velkhana.

Greatsword is the best melee weapon in the game in my opinion. There’s nothing better for chopping tails, breaking heads or dunking monsters out of the sky. The dps can’t be matched by other melee weapons except for sword and shield if you’re extremely skilled at landing the perfect rush, but the short reach of SnS can be quite problematic. Greatsword is also very easy to use with frostcraft and critical draw so that’s a huge bonus

That would be the Velkhana Armor Set bonus. It's a skill called Frostcraft. When your weapon is sheathed power builds up on it and you can expend it through attacks

All 14 weapons are good. It depends totally of the player. Sometimes monster, damage type, and objective. Being farming some materials isn't the same as speedrunning or even doing teamwork. There are some instance where one weapon can perform better

good video you should try out a frostcraaft slugger gs build which a is four AT valakana and one-piece Forst fang barioth

I think we all have own tier list but without a doubt SnS Perfect Rush quite OP at certain point. I love CB and cant get away with it becoz i got used with Guard Point. I learn hard on monster behavior but im not at those super high lvl CB users who able to use Axe mode guard point at certain timing. Im just casual player with certain time to play and responsibilities.

Do you think in muscle hunter wild that Nerge Gante will come back from world?

Oh definitely. Nergi has a solid place in the rest of the franchise

In a nutshell every weapon perfoms great. The difference in tiers (for anyones tier list) are for the speedrunners. Youre always better running a weapon thats youre best with, then youd get the most dps

Yeah both Tier lists are pretty sound. Seems the Tiers were based on the Rule of Cool which is obviously subjective. I would like to see a list where only 3 weapons could occupy a Tier so S and A aren't so crowded. I gravitate toward Hunting Horn and Lance and would argue that more folks should try them out, though both wouldn't make it much ahead of B Tier given my own parameters.

the only thing i gotta say imo is that the hh is most definitely a support weapon first, theres a reason why hh mains hated rise version of it while others liked it coz it focused on dps more
