0:54 Move set 4:07 Charge Levels 5:09 Best Decorations for Bow 6:11 combos 8:07 Foods Skills for Bow 9:02 Things i wish I knew earlier 12:28 Advanced Tips 16:30 Final advice i have a mod on in this video lol
One thing id add for new players, Thousand Dragons with bomb, piercing, or thorn ammo does crazy damage early on. Even getting up in master rank its a nice damage move
Piercing is my favorite to use. It hits so many times. Just do it at an angle you'd already use Dragon Piercer and you get STUPID damage and probably stagger the monster
Great guide! This is how weapon guides should be made, teach players the best combos and skills to bring and cut all the extra moves that aren't that viable which would just overwhelm a new player.
This was actually a really really helpful video, thanks! I didn't expect anyone to have information that would straight make life much easier, but the reticle aim and auto-aim turning off with controller made it much easier. Thanks!
I have about 50 hours in mhw and I always kept trying the bow but being upset by the numbers. This video has shown me the true potential the bow has and I will continue using it now. Good vid btw
Great video man, ive actually been struggling to find a good guide that shows things well and you did the job. Been a bow user for a while but even a lot of the beginner parts of this video helped!
As a GL main, branching out into the bow for a secondary. This video has been tremendously helpful. Thank you! One point of note: you moved through the moves a little quick, and the inputs for them disappeared a little quick. I can easily replay those sections, but it would have been nice it you had done a slow-mo on those so it’s easier to follow everything that’s going on with some of them.
I am a newbie that just join the game and also decided to stay with the bow, most of the guide online for bow mainly focus on DPS and build around speed runner, which is good for damage build but they don't provide the experience require for bow play style that much, your video is nice to understand and have a more natural summarize.
Sup bro, I was looking to pick up the bow so this video is a godsend! I’ve always been a Charge Blade main and recently I wanted to pick a ranged option. Bow has always caught my attention and having this video show up was amazing. Would you be able to upload a “Builds” video? Pre-Alatreon would be an amazing place to start, since people always do those sieges and I think every hunter should aim to obtain the kjarr weapons and safi set. Thanks for everything bro!
100%, as a new player i also came here looking for builds.... Also, how do one obntains kjarr, safi and all that? Its so confusing...i googled, and it says Safi siege was only available in Jan 2023....like wth, nobody else can get it now?
@@VDViktorBoth Safi’Jiva and Master Rank Kulve’Taroth are siege quests done by lobbies of 16 players. Both are event-like quest doable in gathering hubs. You need to progress the story and guiding lands to a point in order to unlock both sieges. Just google them and you’ll find out. Only one of them is available at a time, they keep rotating.
@@VDViktor safi siege and kulve taroth siege is on a 2 week rotation you can access them from the gathering hub, i suggest search for lobbies who does them
10:21 You can also change the "Target Setting" there to only target large monsters. The targeting feature is not something I use a lot, but I know it is a pain when it rotates you 180 degrees to target a small creature. Just one more little thing! :)
My 1st encounter with the bow was in 4U, in the arena quest against najarala. My partner chose a close weapon so I went bow, he had agitator so the monster never targeted me, so I just spammed lvl 3 shots with power shots. It was the rathalos bow so it was a piercing singular arrow, and najarala is pretty big, so the quest ended in like 5 minutes. That made me appreciate the bow a lot more.
Pro tip: Arc shot is the best attack for stunning monsters if the monster is exhausted spam arc shot in the head of monster sometimes it can knocked monsters twice as long as the monsters is in the line of arcshot
i would like to say, with the lunging melee attack, i have success using it as like a ''ahh im really low stamina and cant dash'' dodge move, it covers a great distance and you instantly recharge enough stamina. can be absolutely great when you inevitably run yourself into a corner with low stam and a boss charging at you.
I really like the part about playing without fear, most people don't say it but I agree, Monster Hunter is not a 'fear makes you better' kind of game. My advice is playing a certain monster with the weapon a few times, it doesn't matter if you keep carting three times or take the whole 50 minutes, you gon' learn today. Being scared of a monster vs learning the moves and removing that fear makes so much difference, best monster to practice on would be either Nargacuga or Black Diablos. Nargacuga to learn how to dodge and how most monsters work and Blos for learning the jukes that monsters do
Nice vid man, ive been playing since 3U as a DB main and im finally thinking of giving a ranged wep a shot. My friend told me bow would be a good fit since they play similar and rely on the same stuff for the most part. Thx for the helpful vid bro.
Im trying to get better at bow, since i like that i can change status effects mid fight like poison or sleep coating. Very well made video. Managed to get a safi bow with blast so ive got a good start
I'm a new hunter in mhw and really want to use ranged weapons, since i know you need whetstones to shrapen melee weapons, but idk how to craft them. When i search it in internet it says whetstones are part of the supplies you get at the start of a quest, but so far (until you first try to capture zorah magdaros in assigned quest) i haven't found any whetstones I prefer the bow because it's more constant in terms of damage (you'll almost never out of ammo, rather out of arrow coatings). Imho the advantage of bowguns over bow is their interchangeable ammo types, so you can face monsters with different weakness in the same quest/expedition, also the damage of HBG or the number of ailments LBG can apply. second reason i use bow instead of bowgun bcs i'm the type of person that can't imagine what i'd do if i ever run out of ammo (i prefer to chase monster if they run away so they only have as little time to recuperate as possible, but this makes me unable to forage for crafting additional ammo) especially with LBG since you shoot ammo like no tomorrow
i impress all your video you speak very well and more clearly! but one thing. i need to explain adivce a little more about armor build on alaltreon and with maybe Safi'jiva siege as well. I would like to continue the process, the two are the ones I have problems with..
this was a great video man i learned a lot, youre a natural at talking. Im new to mhw and im slowly working my way thru the main quest, ive always loved bows in games there was only one real choice for me and ive never played anything else except long sword. isnt there a way you can tenderize the monster by just shooting the claw at the monster and scratching it a few times like that? i thought i saw that, but ive never been able to do it. the tenderizing twice is killing me. i was stuck on nergigante for so long he was such a cheater. itll be nice to get those jewels you was talking about. i was wondering i have the legiana armor set in high rank and for 4 pieces it gives an extra charge level to the bow attacks. is that the same as the gem or like a watered down version? Also i feel like you did jumping lunge a little dirty, thats a sick move, it looks badass, and most weapons cant just jump on the monster basically for free.
I still dont understand why everyone hates on Dragon Piercer. You can use it to cut tails, and it hits so many times. It adds up to big boy numbers real quick
Yo! New subscriber here. Been binge watching all your vids!, Very helpful guide for a new MWH player who wants to play bow. Can you make a gear progression guide for new players? Thanks for the help!
Really liked the video and your attitude ! I always wanted to get into bow but it just looked like a lot to grind for. Also i have never got into the siege event since i only play solo but every meta guide recommends the bows from there, any toughts or tips about playing end game with craftable bows only ?
Element defo need Kjarr or Safi. They are just that good, arguably Dragon Element Kjarr or Safi can be subs with Alatreon since it has the highest Dragon Element in the game. Raw still uses Fatalis
@@nubisapira Raging Brachy is probably the best Blast Bow and yes Kjar and Safi have Blast Variant but I dont really recommend Blast on lategame since its a slot machine. Element is more consistent
I'm starving for builds videos for Iceborne, but builds that is not Silver Rathalos/Fatalis/Alatreon for Bow, I'm playing Iceborne I want to get there, if I'm already with that armors why I would search for tutorials?
Yo man, dig the guide. I found something though in the canteen portion, in my game my activation chance of black belt, etc. is half a star and yours is 3 stars. How can that be?
Thanks for the tip on aim assist. I’ve noticed it fights me and leads to missing shots when I’m trying to lead a moving target. I’ll try turning it off now.
Do you play on normal/fast or very fast? I cant aim with a controller bruh im mostly play shooters with mnk ik mhw is not a shooter but bow still requires aiming.
Pretty good guide to bows, but I disagree on lunging melee being useless. It's not meant to be a high damage attack, it's designed as a mounting tool, and a pretty effective one at that.
You could have given much more detailed and solid advice for principles of playing bow while also having a much shorter video at the same time. This video just gives the most giga-casual advice that will lead to people being extremely mediocre at best and not understand why you're advising to them to do certain things because you're not explaining the mechanics behind it.
That’s your tbh opinion I made this video based of my experience tbh if you watched the video I said I wasn’t a “expert” just giving what I think could help. If you think that much I would advise you make your own video tbh
Dash juice, blackbelt, and constitution do stack but they max out at 50% reduction. So dont go wasting dash juice or gourmet vouchers if you dont need it.

is thousand dragons only from iceborne?

For those that do not have a bow charge jewel, you can craft it at the melder that will save you time if you have been unlucky

2:29 What bow is that and how do you get it? 😳
I'm pretty excited to get back into it. I liked the bow but played really badly and ended up quitting the game till maybe a day ago.
nice video. Fairly new to the game. This will help a lot
I still dont understand why everyone hates on Dragon Piercer. You can use it to cut tails, and it hits so many times. It adds up to big boy numbers real quick
Thanks for the tutorial bro 🔥🔥
I wont breath until you drop the bow mods list
This videos underrated
I appreciate it
Yo! New subscriber here. Been binge watching all your vids!, Very helpful guide for a new MWH player who wants to play bow. Can you make a gear progression guide for new players? Thanks for the help!
Helped a lot, thank you. Can i ask wäre die you get the glow for the bow and These charge animations around you‘re character?
thank you Its a mod on NexusMods I linked both in the description ^_^

Normally I'd correct "bagelgeese" since it's "Bazelgeuse" but fuck that
Buff deserves the disrespect.
good vid bro
I'm starving for builds videos for Iceborne, but builds that is not Silver Rathalos/Fatalis/Alatreon for Bow, I'm playing Iceborne I want to get there, if I'm already with that armors why I would search for tutorials?
video muy completo , gracias
name bow ?
Main bow from freedom and you are a fucking right i cant play with you because ps4 but thanks to get people to become archers
Real bow mains admit, we forget arc shot once 10+ h into the game
I would say the jumping melee atacks are useless. They do mount dmg so use them to mount and knock down the monster
Subscribed great video been a bow user from PS4 days but I just came back and I'm rusty would love some runs with you bro whats your ID ?
Yo man, dig the guide. I found something though in the canteen portion, in my game my activation chance of black belt, etc. is half a star and yours is 3 stars. How can that be?
What bow are you using? I haven’t played in a while but I don’t recall the bow having those special effects on its abilities and the glowing quiver.
Only thing I think he was completely wrong about is the jumping melee it can mount any monster from ground level definitely do use it.
Thankyou for the guide, quick question. How do you make it so your bow has all these flashy animations for it attacks please
Pretty sure that's the SafiJiva bows normal animation
And why does your moves look so cool?
what is that effect you have on the bow? thats dope
Thanks for the tip on aim assist. I’ve noticed it fights me and leads to missing shots when I’m trying to lead a moving target. I’ll try turning it off now.
Do you play on normal/fast or very fast? I cant aim with a controller bruh im mostly play shooters with mnk ik mhw is not a shooter but bow still requires aiming.
Didn't know Zoro started using bow 😂
Whats with the different shot types, when i craft Bows in Worldborne it dosn't show me what type of shot an arrow has on which charge level.
No matter how many times I pick up this weapon my damage is doodoo and I don't know why.
Pretty good guide to bows, but I disagree on lunging melee being useless. It's not meant to be a high damage attack, it's designed as a mounting tool, and a pretty effective one at that.
And u can dodge sweeps
Bagel geese 😂😂😂
Can u give bow builds?
What is that bow skin you are using😮
Dude where can farm mighty bow and why mind's eye
why didn't you mention critical eye, weakness exploit and critical boost?
U need that on every build its not just specific to bow I guess.

Ok but why are you glowing?
Dash juice, blackbelt, and constitution do stack but they max out at 50% reduction. So dont go wasting dash juice or gourmet vouchers if you dont need it.
If I have Dash juice and and blackbelt should I still get constitution or is it not worth it?
@endsmites2436 juice(25%)+belt(20%) is 45% so I don't think the 5% would be worth the slots.
