The reason that people hate longsword so much is that it gets everything. It even gets a counter boost silkbind while lance, the original counter weapon, gets literally nothing
To be honest if they give that circle to Lance it would be much better, I still don't understand why Long sword are able to get that move, don't long sword got enough counter move already? The circle even allow long sword to lock its meter and the new sheathing move is also a counter. The fact that long sword got so many love are unbelievable and it make other weapon looks like joke.
Back in MH3, the lance was god in the water. Bring back underwater combat and you will see lance use go up and use of other weapons go way down, at least for that particular setting.
I don't hate the LS, I love the counter based attacks, it became one of my favorite weapons after the Iceborne changes and I'm glad they kept these changes in Rise and enhanced them. BUT it's kinda ridiculous how this weapon gets all positive and flashy upgrades while other weapons rarely get anything nearly as good. Especially lance and gunlance. Gunlance being my all time favorite weapon it's just sad.
LS and Lance videos showcase were uploaded in the same day so the contrast between the two cannot be any more insane. They do play favorites pretty hard.
@@fishnutz5196 They could’ve made it more creative but yeah a lot people still won’t use it. Still sad for lance mains though because of The Shaftening.
RIP chargeblade. As a chargeblade main I actually don’t mind the weapons quirks in Rise too much. Provided you have to aim SAED’s head on, I think it’s decent provided you have skills to buff out its mechanics. But LS for the purpose of being a Japanese themed game-despite Sunbreak’s expansion being a medieval setting-gets front and center stage. Honestly I would have thought lance would have been given a lot of attention, simply because of the European influence.
@@Hibernial RIP charge blade? We can guard point in axe mode now. That is incredible, literally game changing when it comes to charge blade fundamentals. This is like complaining about the web zip they gave CB. As though monsters staggering out of range doesn't happen constantly and having a way to close in and keep up pressure without putting your weapon away, especially while in axe mode, was some trivial thing. Charge blade is the swiss army knife, not the glow in the dark weeb stick. They gave us even more utility in a way that means you'll functionally never have to move to fight most monsters and you'll never get hit. They'll throw themselves at us and we'll smash their skulls in. A charge blade main should be super pumped for this.
@@rainbowkrampus But CB never needed that? It only needs it now, because you can't back out of Spinning Axe without getting punished. If Phials would be retained in the Axe when you put the weapon away, you literally wouldn't need this "new" GP. Same with the sticky delayed Explo... like, wuhu amazing, we have another explosion that probably scales as bad as charging your sword. They probably also didn't change anything regarding the Phial Hitboxes, yk the actual problem of the weapon.
As a lance main I want to literally end it all rn Edit: I'm still gonna main it I think, I'll just look like the sad pepe frog while everyone else is doing crazy new shit. Hope the other new switch skills save us from doom 🙏 🛡🪠
Seeing Valor Crouching Fire back for HBG is insane, and I really do wonder how it will be balanced. Back in GU you could grab a squad of 4 Pierce Valor HBG users and wipe out so many monsters in minutes just because of the damage output you had.
i feel like this time around they were trying to kit-bash different weapon types while bringing in old stuffs, the new longsword iai is basically a mix of valor sheath and valor longsword counter with greatsword element (while it did not show in the demo, you can tell it's basically valor counter sheath from its description)
So imo the coolest thing about the Gunlance switch skill is that it lets you bounce between the old and new Gunlance. Erupting cannon emulates the older style with the explosion buffing the physical attacks and since you might be able to pair that with the new Gunlance style with Wyrmstake cannon it's gonna be really cool.
I play SnS, LS, Hammer, Lance, Switch Axe, and Insect Glaive so I got a good variety of "damn that's sick!" And "hmmm I'll need to try this myself cause it looks kinda weak." Very excited all around.
That Shield Tackle for lance looks great to be honest; I find for solo lance especially I'm always surprised how little time I'm actually just standing there blocking, and now I can shave that time down to even less. Thank you Monster Hunter Team, very cool!
Really hope there are a few other small things Lance gets because I have little hopes at this time. Hell, I still main Lance and sadly never used the Silkbind attacks because they never felt like they were doing anything to help me in comparison to other weapons. Best move was probably the "Super counter" but that didn't seem as necessary as the other counters you normally do. At least we got Insect Glaive's seconds...
I'm still gonna play Lance regardless. There's an upwards attack and then a downwards hit with high stagger, and a bit of a multi-hit effect too. I know Sunbreak is virtually right around the corner, so it's gonna be difficult for Capcom to change anything beforehand. However, I'm gonna stay hype, because there's probably gonna be some unreleased stuff for every weapon. After all, I main IG as well, and Diving Wyvern wasn't shown in any previews before the release of base Rise.
I'm here with ya on the Lance. I can't blame people for sleeping on it because it's the least flashy weapon ever, but it's too fun to use once you actually figure shit out. The jumping attack looks fun as another way to just deal with their attacks instead of just blocking it.
I've always out DPS'd people (use a DPS meter mod to see) with Lance, no matter what they're using. Played Lance in world and it was fine, and I enjoyed it, but Lance in Rise is amazing to play. You just make sure to have Evade Extender max and you can move faster than anyone else aside from HH with Self-Improvement, and even with that said, you can reposition fast than anyone else. The new thing is gonna feel so good to play with. I am still HH main, but Lance will always be a strong second place.
I mean if they just up the damage of Lance attacks so it doesn't fall waaay behind every other weapon a lot wouid be fixed imo. Every weapon have counters and can basically stay on a monster keeping up the attack just as much as Lance, so having Lance attacks feel weaker just makes no sense in Rise. That and increase the timing window on the perfect guard :P again, so many counters in this game, no need for Lance to have a much tighter reacting time than all other weapons on theirs.
despite how some weapons just may have not have what we all expected, im excited to what will come to sunbreak with its combat. each weapon will still be fun regardless since the wirebug is the core mechanic of the game. im interested on seeing how things will be different during these hunts!
I main SnS, Insect Glaive, CB, and some Bow, overall i think the additions are great, definitely disappointed with what CB got (Alongside Lance) I just hope the weapons themselves wont be technically held back because of it, At least switching between silkbinds will be incredible in general, and of course LS gets overtly busted “even more”, In one instance its cool, but the other its just frustrating that other weapons dont get the same, literally had to drop LS in rise because its too broken for my liking
Rest in Peace to all my big shield weapon homies. Gunlance getting another timed buff to manage to still deal really poor damage, Charge Blade having a move that is so inconsistent its the only one they show on the training dummy, and Lance being... Lance. Gunlance is so unbelievably fun in this game but why can't it be fun AND strong?
I dunno. I tried playing Gunlance on the PC version and I recently dropped it because I'm not enjoying it that much. Once I reached HR hub the damage just felt too low and battles took an eternity. Monsters would also barely get stunned. I win battles like 50% faster with the Switch Axe.
The video you showed Max is why people like gun weapons. It’s very satisfying to shoot the monster silly and basically feel like a action movie star going crazy shooting bullets everywhere. Pew pew everywhere. It’s not about satisfaction hitting the monster on the right timing but just unloading all the adrenaline and being aggressive all the time. Also hitting the right spots and having precision.
For dual blades I feel that the spiral slash and swap mechanics are honestly the best additions possible considering how its silkbinds depend more on what your fighting than anything. Not to mention piercing bind was kind of a really lack luster big damage pop cuz the damage caps at like 60. What I really want to know is if that increases or if the swap dodge can cancel demon dance. Probably not but I can dream.
I haven't played rise in a while, but I ran through the game with lance because of the overall upgraded mobility for weapons and it was pretty fun. It didn't really get a lot unfortunately, I think it just got more tools to ignore everything and continually stay in a monsters face. Will need to try it.
Sure, Lance didn't get a CRAZY OVER-THE-TOP attack or anything But that new Shield-Bash that can be used out of all of your combos will make Lance nigh-unkillable. And the new big attack it got is cool af, I've always been a huge fan of vertical slam-attacks. I really do wish they would tone down the Long-Sword bias though. Like, I get it Capcom. You're a japanese company and you guys REALLY like katanas. But if you could give other weapons the same love you give LS, the world would be a happier place.
Love lance hope lance new move ain't two wire bugs and have some invisibility or the move will be garbage. The new shield move is the old move just returning.
Lance actually had insane mobility in World. I didn't play it much in Rise, but yeah, that Shield Bash is going to be VERY useful. Throw in some guard decorations and yeah. You got a freaking tank.
I'm hoping it needs no Guard, I mean it is basically the GreatSword tackle which needs no Guard skills. If it does need guard and Anchor rage is still affected by Guard then this is another wasted addition.
I know this is old post. But that shield bash basically made an unstoppable infinite attack combo without getting damage at all. Not deal a huge damage but constantly hitting without getting any damage seem ok for me plus it didnt consume stamina so passive skill that add more damage to stamina is full is nice addition.
My top mains are LS, SA, IG, and DB. Pretty happy with what my favorites got. I main 2 weapons for all 3 characters I play. My primary character is a LS/DB main, my second character is a SA/IG main, and my final character is a GS/CH main. I go Bow for range on all 3. Can confirm I get kicked outta groups sometimes, just for using my LS setup on my primary character. If I wanna play online with my primary, it's either DB or Bow. Sucks I gotta limit myself when I actually wanna play online, and I'm primarily a solo player. I don't really like the playstyles and feel of the lances, and bowguns. I'm biased against hammers, in real life or video games, I like bladed weapons. I do dabble in HH on occasion though.
Playing through the main game and learning all the fights I'll always do with the melee weapons like CB, GS and such, but when it gets to farming a monster for the 10th time, I'll swap over to bow to speed and things up because yeah, brute forcing through with a ranged weapon does make it feel a little less exciting first time around
yeah ranged weapon just lacks any interesting mechanics for me. Like GS you can do charge or non charge attack then TCS or not even at all, there a timing thing going on there too. You can tackle throught everything if you want or you can hit then wait and then roll or silkbind out. So much layers, options and moves you could do. While with ranged weapon, you just click and shoot, oh theyre close to lets wirebug around their back and run half the map away because we're so mobile in this game. Not a lot of depth is what im trying to say.
I'm actually liking the LS changes thanks to Switch Skills. Being able to use Sakura Slash to speed-run to Red mode, then immediately have access to Soaring Kick to cash out once your bugs recharge is gonna be baller. Not to mention the new sheathing move. Definitely not moving away from my boys this time (SwAxe, SnS, GL, LS).
@@williamtorres4140 We know for certain that all weapons have 5 Switch Skills now (from the Malzeno trailer), and some, if not all, weapons have three interchangeable Silkbind attacks. We only saw two of those per weapon with the demos. There's room for some hidden gold to be found.
@@firetools it's not negativity, it's what needs to be done: Capcom refuses to acknowledge their players,we have to make ourselves heard. We don't hate longsword, we hate how they treated weapons unfairly.
@@legendarytat8278 Actually I agree with the weapon criticisms, it's some other things about the current state of the MH community that I feel are too negative.
As Lance user, if may share a point; the skill swap with the new skytrust makes it amazing to be fair cause I have switch from a defensive/counter silkbind into offensive ones, aka, useful stronger moves for when the monster is down and I can't counter anything
As someone who plays mainly swax but has recently picked up bow. It really is a whole different vibe. Sometimes I just want to go ham on the monster and other times I want to be at range, constantly poking and annoying the thing. It really just depends on what I'm feeling and what other people I'm with are playing
Spread HBD is a great way to try a ranged weapon if you want a high-impact experience. It's the shotgun compared to a rifle. Also, the HBG used to be a chain gun all the time. That's what the crouching fire does to your shots.
Imma go hard with the Great Sword. I currently have one of the best endgame build in the game on Rise and can't eait to see just how much more Broken I can make myself.
17:00 Personally I don't like ranged weapons, but something about the Bow feels very different, I guess case I use it as a hyper mobile shotgun, it also feels like it has much more oomph, I guess because the draw feels heavy and the shots feel like they have impact, besides wyvern ignition shot(or whatever it's called) from the Heavy Bowgun, the Bowguns don't really feel impactful. But that's just me, obviously every weapons has it's play style and preference.
Yeah I get that. I'm a Bow main in Rise (with some Switch Axe mixed in), and the game has been kind of a cakewalk with a spread bow + dodgebolt. You just dodge through everything tossed your way, never stop shooting the enemies weakspot with almost no downtime thanks to Aerial Shot, & rack up insane damage along the way even after you run out of Power Coatings (which then you can just craft more or go to a tent!). Doesn't help that Bow also might have the most customizable Rampage weapon either. It's like a dance of death, either you fuck up and get one-shot sometimes (minus Moxie), or you nuke the monster so fast that it feels like a joke.
Sticky ammo + the special ammo really make the weapons feel punchy. Also, there is nothing better in this game than a monster starting to fly up to move to a different location only to come crashing back down from maximum height due to the Sticky ammo you planted on their face before they took off. Also slashing ammo is awesome.
So Light Bowgun got Close Range Shot, and Bow got Slicing Coating lol. I'll be playing those, Swaxe, SnS, and Hammer pretty much exclusively, just like I did in the Base Game.
I am so excited for this expansion! I feel so sorry for my buddy who plays Lance, I sure hope it gets a massive buff in stagger and damage with such a lack of cool factor.
I kinda get it why he doesn't like long rage weapons is just i suck on dodging and parrying the monster im not that really good i will be the first one to die every time thas why i stick with the long rage weapons i might get that experience but i rather help the team in some way
The thing is, Bow isn’t even long ranged half the time. A lot of the good bow builds require you to get up close and personal with the monster. Rapid fire especially
I was like: "I really want to play Charge Blade only for Sunbreak. Can't wait to see the awesome stuff they gonna give this sick looking weapon" * *Sees the video* * "Welp, back to playing Hunting Horn and Bow baby!!!"
@@Hibernial I mean a Sephiroth costume with a masamune longsword would be more than enough for me to pick the weapon back up. While we're at it add a cloud costume with a buster sword greatsword and you have me.
Don't worry though. These are only some of the new switch skills. There's at least 2 more per weapon they haven't shown...and they probably won't show until release.
My main is LS, I can use almost all weapons but I have my preferred ones. Like in World I used HBG alot as well as LS but in rise I didn't like the feel of HBG so I opted to play more LBG and Bow. Def in sunbreak gonna mess around with HH more as well as some other weapons. maybe I will try greatsword again since I didnt play it at all much in rise asince I didnt really like it for some reason but used it all the time in world.
As one of the maybe 12 Lance Mains I'm very disappointed with the lack of anything Lance got, but it's whatever, I mostly use Anchor Rage and Spiral Thrust for mobility. Let's me stay up on a monsters face or retaliate. I have to see if Skyward Thrusts gets any I-frames when using it, and if not then feels bad.
Honestly I think Skyward Thrust is maybe the stationary, more damaging version of Spiral Thrust. Spiral Thrust has the issue that sometimes trying to control it is hard, and on smaller monsters you may just fly past them and then be unable to land the second thrust to hit them on the way back. If Skyward Thrust is capable of doing MORE damage while being less difficult to aim, it has its use. It also lets you more easily hit a flying enemy, especially on weak points other than their feet.
@@EldestOrion I'm hoping it can be used as a counter, maybe counter, Skyward up, and boosted damage on the hit down, similar to how Anchor Rage absorbs an attack and boosts damage. Other than that, unless the monster is huge, upward poke is good for most monsters. While I do agree with the Spiral Thrust being a bit hard, I mainly use it to evade certain attacks and then reposition myself towards the monster, tho I do sometimes use it to stick to a monster like glue. Well in any case I just have to wait and see, and play around with the new skills.
See Max I have the same "neurons firing" feeling when i'm playing bow and flipping off walls, over monsters heads, to shoot their tail off. Or sliding in a circle sideways to counter a Rajang's laser as it bounces off my arrow. The mobility is so satisfying.
Everyone who knows really knows, you guys are the ones who NEVER EVER die, hunting horn is cool but I'll take alance main on my team any day, there's not a monster around that you guys can't easily solo
@@jhsrt985 You're right, as a lance user I never ever die and there isn't a monster that I cannot solo. I even Solo'd KT back in world. It just so happens that my lance is also a giant fucking boom stick.
@@hakageryu307 lolll the gl is what got me to choose to play Lance not just cuz it was mandatory on the hardest monsters until I learned them but bc the gl is so great. I'm a gs main at the end of the day but when the chips are down the g Lance comes out
Actually considering the biggest damage increase seems to be the counter circle it might actually make LS players better. You'd be amazed how many LS players I still see that can barely counter shit. Now theyll have to learn if they wanna get the most out of the new skills. Also none of it matters because HBG got Valor Siege mode back as well as a ring that basically doubles the damage of any bullet fired through it. HBG is going to destroy speedrun times.
What I like form Lance is mainly just tanking a tessera supernova to the face and not care about it like the other weapons does :D Everyone got different thing that make them fell powerful but Lance fell powerful by being just a wall the monster can't pierce throw :P Any way that my opinion. doing counter and doing power block whene you see a powerful move coming your way. I don't know in this game but in rise whene they haded the power block that could literally block anything I had some fun with it. (It stupid but I don't like learning alot of combos and stuff. I prf learning the enemies move and doing bassic 3 hit with a dash to cancel into 3 more atk (but always being on the move and in the face of the monster with the ability you just shrug anything they throw at you)) That my opinion about lance I do fell like the move they showed tho are kinda bad overall I like the jumping one it fancy and got some use for sure but the shield dash vs bash like really? you could have had just give it something like a move that absorbs elemental atk or I don't know?
Important to remember that there are 2 MH development teams, the one that works on World and the portable team working on rise. If you aren't satisfied with the design decisions so far in rise, there's still hope the the next game the World team makes will be better.
The Mainline World Team actually seems to try to make each weapon fun. Portable team has always had a grudge against the Shield weapons, despite giving longsword full invincibility with literally zero decoration investment meanwhile the shields needs to max out two different skills to block a freakin laser beam and it STILL takes chip damage
@@KenBladehart quite the opposite, it's the worst thing ever going back to GU after getting used to World and Rise. In Rise every weapon feels awesome to play, they might not be on the same lvl dmg wise but at leadt they're usable. Old world weapon gameplay honestly feels so restrictive and ass now, if you wanna solo EX deviants u have to play Valor LS or the bowguns. Some match ups u can use striker Lance or Valor GS but the rest of the weapon roster is yikes. New world weapon and fight changes were a blessing in every regard. 80+ % of the monster roster in GU feels absolute ass to fight too. Of course there good fights but those are few.
As an almost exclusively Gunlance main... We are crossing fingers for balancing patches increasing Shelling damage or something. If not we are right there with you.
Theres some absolute irony of everyone who doesn’t play gunlance being like Gunlance looks so cool!! And then the veterans downing their 5th whiskey being like “if only you knew...” “Buff mechanics” mean nerfs to the gunlance and it has since it happened in each Gen, Iceborne and Rise. If the Bullet Barrage is two bugs, we’re basically never gonna get to use it because we have to use one wire bug at all times to keep Ground Splitter up. I pray I’m wrong but it’s unfortunately so hard to get hype as a gunlancer no matter how flashy it is.
Solo ranged weapon can be boring but... when you have a full squad of guns and bows, staggering, paralyzing, KOing, then put it to sleep for a BIG ASS BOMB WAKEUP it feels really good.
About long range weapons granted it's not an engaging weapon even I as a bow user gets bored sometimes with it and I can use long sword and great sword for fun but when it comes to a long serious hunt I just excel at long distance, bow wasn't my first choice but it's first weapon that taught me how to play monster hunter
Hey Max, I have an idea that might be fun! What if one day, you react to a full weapon explanation for a weapon? I’ve been watching some lately and it’s pretty good for theory crafting builds!
I haven't played Rise yet. Been awhile since I beat World. Maybe I'll pick it up when Sunbreak drops. The Dual Wield shit looks dope af. Bow, Hammer, and Greatsword too. I was Hammer main when I started World but after beating Xeno, I switched to Bow and Dual Wield. Enjoyed the heck outa those. I've always liked the concept behind Charge Blade but doing its "chores" has always been too tedious for my tastes.
Rise CB is considerably easier to grasp than previous games imo due to counter peak performance. It can chain into buffing shield, buffing sword and the big damage moves at the cost of just one wirebug
@@czyu3361 Does the counter help charge phials for SAED faster? Tbh, the hardest thing for me in World was trying to get perfect block into SAED. Did it once, missed, and never tried again xD
I don't think lance is actually that bad- for what it's worth. Lance has always gotten the short straw by being the slow shield poker. It's kinda hard to make that flashy, and instead they decided to make gunlance for that instead. But just on these abilities alone; a better version of the of the insect glaive (hits twice instead of just once) is a pretty nice drop attack, and it now has proper shield bash.
Listen, I ate well, I main switch axe so I’m happy, but I’m still pissed about how long sword basically got a circle where you do double damage and unlimted sprit gauge, and they got a great sword esque charge attack, that’s bullshit
Not speaking for everyone obviously, just myself, but I love playing lbg for the consistency of it's damage output. I think melee is in general much more engaging and fun to play, but I get tired of being knocked around, or charging up a move only to wif it, or to try and do literally any damage to the monster and it just walks away and attacks someone else. Lbg I don't have any of those problems, just shootin and dealin damage at a steady pace.
If you're looking for a fun LBG, I can strongly recommend the Tigrex Tank line. Just pump some Lvl2 Shells in there and go DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA. As for bows... I assume everybody here knows about how fun the Counter Chameleos Bow build is right?
I’ve been specifically not looking into the new moves until they were all out. As a Charged Blade main, I feel like they could have given them something better then a defensive stance. We all ready have a timing based parry for a skill that can loop into some fun damage. But just getting a bigger shield mode seems very weak.
The reason that people hate longsword so much is that it gets everything. It even gets a counter boost silkbind while lance, the original counter weapon, gets literally nothing

Best move was probably the "Super counter" but that didn't seem as necessary as the other counters you normally do.
At least we got Insect Glaive's seconds...
I'm still gonna play Lance regardless. There's an upwards attack and then a downwards hit with high stagger, and a bit of a multi-hit effect too.
I know Sunbreak is virtually right around the corner, so it's gonna be difficult for Capcom to change anything beforehand. However, I'm gonna stay hype, because there's probably gonna be some unreleased stuff for every weapon.
After all, I main IG as well, and Diving Wyvern wasn't shown in any previews before the release of base Rise.
I'm here with ya on the Lance. I can't blame people for sleeping on it because it's the least flashy weapon ever, but it's too fun to use once you actually figure shit out. The jumping attack looks fun as another way to just deal with their attacks instead of just blocking it.
@@Sayiism poke gang rise up
Yeah, Ive always wanted lace to have some king of Giga Drill Break thing or something to add some flash. Still gonna use it all the time though.
I've always out DPS'd people (use a DPS meter mod to see) with Lance, no matter what they're using. Played Lance in world and it was fine, and I enjoyed it, but Lance in Rise is amazing to play. You just make sure to have Evade Extender max and you can move faster than anyone else aside from HH with Self-Improvement, and even with that said, you can reposition fast than anyone else. The new thing is gonna feel so good to play with. I am still HH main, but Lance will always be a strong second place.
I mean if they just up the damage of Lance attacks so it doesn't fall waaay behind every other weapon a lot wouid be fixed imo. Every weapon have counters and can basically stay on a monster keeping up the attack just as much as Lance, so having Lance attacks feel weaker just makes no sense in Rise. That and increase the timing window on the perfect guard :P again, so many counters in this game, no need for Lance to have a much tighter reacting time than all other weapons on theirs.
despite how some weapons just may have not have what we all expected, im excited to what will come to sunbreak with its combat. each weapon will still be fun regardless since the wirebug is the core mechanic of the game. im interested on seeing how things will be different during these hunts!
Havn't played much MHrise, defo will be going hard when sunbreak releases cant wait
me neither, im still trying to beat elden ring lmao
you should hop on to get some good gear for sunbreak !
Haven't even bought rise. Def not getting sunbreak. Only chance is if they bring back stuff like Molten Tigrex
Word of advice rampages help get you to HR 100 quick
I bought Rise beat it after like 5 days and never touched it since but the new dlc might get me into the game again but fr this time lmao
I’ve always used all weapon types in MH but it was world that got me playing the guns as much as the other weapons
I main SnS, Insect Glaive, CB, and some Bow, overall i think the additions are great, definitely disappointed with what CB got (Alongside Lance) I just hope the weapons themselves wont be technically held back because of it, At least switching between silkbinds will be incredible in general, and of course LS gets overtly busted “even more”, In one instance its cool, but the other its just frustrating that other weapons dont get the same, literally had to drop LS in rise because its too broken for my liking
Rest in Peace to all my big shield weapon homies. Gunlance getting another timed buff to manage to still deal really poor damage, Charge Blade having a move that is so inconsistent its the only one they show on the training dummy, and Lance being... Lance. Gunlance is so unbelievably fun in this game but why can't it be fun AND strong?
There's still moves that have not been shown for each weapon though...
I dunno. I tried playing Gunlance on the PC version and I recently dropped it because I'm not enjoying it that much. Once I reached HR hub the damage just felt too low and battles took an eternity. Monsters would also barely get stunned. I win battles like 50% faster with the Switch Axe.
Because it happened once back in 2nd Gen when Gunlance was introduced and the Devs said "never again"
@@multiDJC So then why LS?
@@thenonexistinghero exactly what I did. And I feel sad because of this state of affairs. Great sword looks fun af. As does glaive
For the most part, what rise has done is give the benefits of longsword to other weapons, with a few more functional skills to make them well-rounded.
As a light bow gun player i am satisfied
same
I am so happy you did it!! Ive been awaiting this 😎🔥👌🏼
As a Switch Axe player I am very VERY happy with how things are turning out for this weapon.
Its more more unga bunga...
AND IM LOVING IT
@@kaarD04 Can't go wrong with more unga bunga.
The video you showed Max is why people like gun weapons. It’s very satisfying to shoot the monster silly and basically feel like a action movie star going crazy shooting bullets everywhere. Pew pew everywhere. It’s not about satisfaction hitting the monster on the right timing but just unloading all the adrenaline and being aggressive all the time. Also hitting the right spots and having precision.
For dual blades I feel that the spiral slash and swap mechanics are honestly the best additions possible considering how its silkbinds depend more on what your fighting than anything. Not to mention piercing bind was kind of a really lack luster big damage pop cuz the damage caps at like 60. What I really want to know is if that increases or if the swap dodge can cancel demon dance. Probably not but I can dream.
We are more Levi than ever now
Very excited for this update!
I haven't played rise in a while, but I ran through the game with lance because of the overall upgraded mobility for weapons and it was pretty fun. It didn't really get a lot unfortunately, I think it just got more tools to ignore everything and continually stay in a monsters face. Will need to try it.
Sure, Lance didn't get a CRAZY OVER-THE-TOP attack or anything
But that new Shield-Bash that can be used out of all of your combos will make Lance nigh-unkillable. And the new big attack it got is cool af, I've always been a huge fan of vertical slam-attacks.
I really do wish they would tone down the Long-Sword bias though. Like, I get it Capcom. You're a japanese company and you guys REALLY like katanas. But if you could give other weapons the same love you give LS, the world would be a happier place.
Love lance hope lance new move ain't two wire bugs and have some invisibility or the move will be garbage. The new shield move is the old move just returning.
My grudge is that guard is expensive as hell to put on
Lance actually had insane mobility in World. I didn't play it much in Rise, but yeah, that Shield Bash is going to be VERY useful.
Throw in some guard decorations and yeah. You got a freaking tank.
I'm hoping it needs no Guard, I mean it is basically the GreatSword tackle which needs no Guard skills. If it does need guard and Anchor rage is still affected by Guard then this is another wasted addition.
I know this is old post. But that shield bash basically made an unstoppable infinite attack combo without getting damage at all. Not deal a huge damage but constantly hitting without getting any damage seem ok for me plus it didnt consume stamina so passive skill that add more damage to stamina is full is nice addition.
My top mains are LS, SA, IG, and DB. Pretty happy with what my favorites got.
I main 2 weapons for all 3 characters I play. My primary character is a LS/DB main, my second character is a SA/IG main, and my final character is a GS/CH main. I go Bow for range on all 3.
Can confirm I get kicked outta groups sometimes, just for using my LS setup on my primary character. If I wanna play online with my primary, it's either DB or Bow. Sucks I gotta limit myself when I actually wanna play online, and I'm primarily a solo player.
I don't really like the playstyles and feel of the lances, and bowguns. I'm biased against hammers, in real life or video games, I like bladed weapons. I do dabble in HH on occasion though.
Playing through the main game and learning all the fights I'll always do with the melee weapons like CB, GS and such, but when it gets to farming a monster for the 10th time, I'll swap over to bow to speed and things up because yeah, brute forcing through with a ranged weapon does make it feel a little less exciting first time around
I do the same tbh
yeah ranged weapon just lacks any interesting mechanics for me. Like GS you can do charge or non charge attack then TCS or not even at all, there a timing thing going on there too. You can tackle throught everything if you want or you can hit then wait and then roll or silkbind out. So much layers, options and moves you could do. While with ranged weapon, you just click and shoot, oh theyre close to lets wirebug around their back and run half the map away because we're so mobile in this game. Not a lot of depth is what im trying to say.
Every weapon is gonna benefit so much from the new skill swap, I’m so excited to see how they turn out to be
Sunbreak is gonna be such a fun expansion
I'm actually liking the LS changes thanks to Switch Skills. Being able to use Sakura Slash to speed-run to Red mode, then immediately have access to Soaring Kick to cash out once your bugs recharge is gonna be baller. Not to mention the new sheathing move.
Definitely not moving away from my boys this time (SwAxe, SnS, GL, LS).
Every weapon? Go check Lance Mains Comments or Charge Blade mains comments. No benefits for them in actuallity.
@@williamtorres4140 We know for certain that all weapons have 5 Switch Skills now (from the Malzeno trailer), and some, if not all, weapons have three interchangeable Silkbind attacks. We only saw two of those per weapon with the demos. There's room for some hidden gold to be found.
I like to watch Macs vids on Monster Hunter. It's nice to see someone's view on it that doesn't know much about the series.
Max's*
And it's nice to see how positive he is when half the community are so caught up in drama and negativity.
@@firetools it's not negativity, it's what needs to be done: Capcom refuses to acknowledge their players,we have to make ourselves heard. We don't hate longsword, we hate how they treated weapons unfairly.
@@legendarytat8278 Actually I agree with the weapon criticisms, it's some other things about the current state of the MH community that I feel are too negative.
@@firetools Huh? Perhaps that's true then. I don't really hear anything from the community that's not related to the weapons nowadays.
A ton of them look sick and the Switch axe looks cool
As Lance user, if may share a point;
the skill swap with the new skytrust makes it amazing to be fair
cause I have switch from a defensive/counter silkbind into offensive ones, aka, useful stronger moves for when the monster is down and I can't counter anything
16:27 Same here! Making me want to play tf out of MH Rise/Sunbreak
Some of the silk binds are from monster hunter generations like the oil
Can't believe they added in DMC combos into MH
As someone who plays mainly swax but has recently picked up bow. It really is a whole different vibe. Sometimes I just want to go ham on the monster and other times I want to be at range, constantly poking and annoying the thing. It really just depends on what I'm feeling and what other people I'm with are playing
Greatsword, my beloved...hhhooh~
Spread HBD is a great way to try a ranged weapon if you want a high-impact experience. It's the shotgun compared to a rifle.
Also, the HBG used to be a chain gun all the time. That's what the crouching fire does to your shots.
Wow going to have to spend some time in the training area after release.
longswords no longer have to choose between sakura slash and helm splitter.. yep, definitely another buff they absolutely needed to be viable i guess
Imma go hard with the Great Sword. I currently have one of the best endgame build in the game on Rise and can't eait to see just how much more Broken I can make myself.
as a SnS main, i'm satisfied with what my weapon of choice got for Sunbreak :)
17:00
Personally I don't like ranged weapons, but something about the Bow feels very different, I guess case I use it as a hyper mobile shotgun, it also feels like it has much more oomph, I guess because the draw feels heavy and the shots feel like they have impact, besides wyvern ignition shot(or whatever it's called) from the Heavy Bowgun, the Bowguns don't really feel impactful.
But that's just me, obviously every weapons has it's play style and preference.
Yeah I get that. I'm a Bow main in Rise (with some Switch Axe mixed in), and the game has been kind of a cakewalk with a spread bow + dodgebolt. You just dodge through everything tossed your way, never stop shooting the enemies weakspot with almost no downtime thanks to Aerial Shot, & rack up insane damage along the way even after you run out of Power Coatings (which then you can just craft more or go to a tent!). Doesn't help that Bow also might have the most customizable Rampage weapon either.
It's like a dance of death, either you fuck up and get one-shot sometimes (minus Moxie), or you nuke the monster so fast that it feels like a joke.
Sticky ammo + the special ammo really make the weapons feel punchy.
Also, there is nothing better in this game than a monster starting to fly up to move to a different location only to come crashing back down from maximum height due to the Sticky ammo you planted on their face before they took off.
Also slashing ammo is awesome.
So Light Bowgun got Close Range Shot, and Bow got Slicing Coating lol.
I'll be playing those, Swaxe, SnS, and Hammer pretty much exclusively, just like I did in the Base Game.
I am so excited for this expansion!
I feel so sorry for my buddy who plays Lance, I sure hope it gets a massive buff in stagger and damage with such a lack of cool factor.
So much SPEEN in the new moves.
That 'counter shot' is a move that a character in Megaman X Dive does as a unique skill from its Monster Hunter collaboration event.
I got stuck on the apex arzuros quest and put the game down. I need to get back into it again.
As a Lance main, we appreciate your sympathy, thank you.
I kinda get it why he doesn't like long rage weapons is just i suck on dodging and parrying the monster im not that really good i will be the first one to die every time thas why i stick with the long rage weapons i might get that experience but i rather help the team in some way
The thing is, Bow isn’t even long ranged half the time. A lot of the good bow builds require you to get up close and personal with the monster. Rapid fire especially
I was like: "I really want to play Charge Blade only for Sunbreak. Can't wait to see the awesome stuff they gonna give this sick looking weapon"
* *Sees the video* *
"Welp, back to playing Hunting Horn and Bow baby!!!"
CB and Lance mains are despairing outta there.
Capcom be like
"I will give charge blade mains despair."
@@vocalcalibration8033 FF7 crossover with MHSB? Sephiroth with LS incoming? Uh oh…
@@Hibernial I mean a Sephiroth costume with a masamune longsword would be more than enough for me to pick the weapon back up. While we're at it add a cloud costume with a buster sword greatsword and you have me.
How you were with CB is how I was with HH, looks like I’m sticking with swaxe in Sunbreak!
Yeah charged blade gang !
oh.....
Don't worry though. These are only some of the new switch skills. There's at least 2 more per weapon they haven't shown...and they probably won't show until release.
@@lilfuzzballa If that is the case ill be very pleased, but please be some offensive skill.
Now I can get out of hammer friends way and shoot the tails with my bow
it would be great if they had a collab with dmc 5 with vergil's layered armor and yamato sword
Those guys were straight up a firing squad for that poor great Jagras, and it was it awesome
Still playing lance. Yeah it's not the fanciest weapon, but it's still fun to play once you give it a chance.
My main is LS, I can use almost all weapons but I have my preferred ones. Like in World I used HBG alot as well as LS but in rise I didn't like the feel of HBG so I opted to play more LBG and Bow. Def in sunbreak gonna mess around with HH more as well as some other weapons. maybe I will try greatsword again since I didnt play it at all much in rise asince I didnt really like it for some reason but used it all the time in world.
As one of the maybe 12 Lance Mains I'm very disappointed with the lack of anything Lance got, but it's whatever, I mostly use Anchor Rage and Spiral Thrust for mobility. Let's me stay up on a monsters face or retaliate. I have to see if Skyward Thrusts gets any I-frames when using it, and if not then feels bad.
Honestly I think Skyward Thrust is maybe the stationary, more damaging version of Spiral Thrust. Spiral Thrust has the issue that sometimes trying to control it is hard, and on smaller monsters you may just fly past them and then be unable to land the second thrust to hit them on the way back. If Skyward Thrust is capable of doing MORE damage while being less difficult to aim, it has its use. It also lets you more easily hit a flying enemy, especially on weak points other than their feet.
They’ll be more moves for sure - just like how rise was, they didn’t show everything
@@EldestOrion I'm hoping it can be used as a counter, maybe counter, Skyward up, and boosted damage on the hit down, similar to how Anchor Rage absorbs an attack and boosts damage. Other than that, unless the monster is huge, upward poke is good for most monsters. While I do agree with the Spiral Thrust being a bit hard, I mainly use it to evade certain attacks and then reposition myself towards the monster, tho I do sometimes use it to stick to a monster like glue. Well in any case I just have to wait and see, and play around with the new skills.
I get it it's a little disappointing, but I think we're overreacting a bit. Wait until sunbreak comes out, then we'll see.
@@TonyJenn Not really an overreaction when lance gets pretty much shafted in every other game lol.
Switch-Axe gang, we feasting! Can’t wait to try that counter
gunlance and switch axe got the best new moves its not even a contest. 😎
as a longsword main since 3... yes yes and yes
I love great sword and they made it so much better
See Max I have the same "neurons firing" feeling when i'm playing bow and flipping off walls, over monsters heads, to shoot their tail off. Or sliding in a circle sideways to counter a Rajang's laser as it bounces off my arrow. The mobility is so satisfying.
Yeah, it's pretty obvious Max hasn't messed with bow much. It's a very point blank in your face type of playstyle.
@@Aerowind It kinda forces you into that with the coating made specifically for close range combat xD
We lancers may be used to taking damage head on. But how will we fare against emotional damage? Idk but i will not abandon u
Max: And RIP Lance users
Me, a Lance main: Don't worry Max, we got used to it
its not like lance needs something new right?
Everyone who knows really knows, you guys are the ones who NEVER EVER die, hunting horn is cool but I'll take alance main on my team any day, there's not a monster around that you guys can't easily solo
@@jhsrt985 You're right, as a lance user I never ever die and there isn't a monster that I cannot solo. I even Solo'd KT back in world.
It just so happens that my lance is also a giant fucking boom stick.
@@hakageryu307 lolll the gl is what got me to choose to play Lance not just cuz it was mandatory on the hardest monsters until I learned them but bc the gl is so great. I'm a gs main at the end of the day but when the chips are down the g Lance comes out
As a LS main looking forward to sunbreak
Let’s make long sword even stupider
Actually considering the biggest damage increase seems to be the counter circle it might actually make LS players better. You'd be amazed how many LS players I still see that can barely counter shit. Now theyll have to learn if they wanna get the most out of the new skills.
Also none of it matters because HBG got Valor Siege mode back as well as a ring that basically doubles the damage of any bullet fired through it. HBG is going to destroy speedrun times.
What I like form Lance is mainly just tanking a tessera supernova to the face and not care about it like the other weapons does :D Everyone got different thing that make them fell powerful but Lance fell powerful by being just a wall the monster can't pierce throw :P Any way that my opinion. doing counter and doing power block whene you see a powerful move coming your way. I don't know in this game but in rise whene they haded the power block that could literally block anything I had some fun with it. (It stupid but I don't like learning alot of combos and stuff. I prf learning the enemies move and doing bassic 3 hit with a dash to cancel into 3 more atk (but always being on the move and in the face of the monster with the ability you just shrug anything they throw at you))
That my opinion about lance I do fell like the move they showed tho are kinda bad overall I like the jumping one it fancy and got some use for sure but the shield dash vs bash like really? you could have had just give it something like a move that absorbs elemental atk or I don't know?
Important to remember that there are 2 MH development teams, the one that works on World and the portable team working on rise. If you aren't satisfied with the design decisions so far in rise, there's still hope the the next game the World team makes will be better.
Portable team made GU, whereas main team did 4U. I absolutely love 4U, but couldn't care less for GU. And so far, Rice seems like GU 2
The Mainline World Team actually seems to try to make each weapon fun. Portable team has always had a grudge against the Shield weapons, despite giving longsword full invincibility with literally zero decoration investment meanwhile the shields needs to max out two different skills to block a freakin laser beam and it STILL takes chip damage
@@bloodbane93 this basically. F the heat gauge
@@Walamonga1313 Rise is nowhere close to GU is. Rise honestly a pathetic game compared to GU
@@KenBladehart quite the opposite, it's the worst thing ever going back to GU after getting used to World and Rise.
In Rise every weapon feels awesome to play, they might not be on the same lvl dmg wise but at leadt they're usable.
Old world weapon gameplay honestly feels so restrictive and ass now, if you wanna solo EX deviants u have to play Valor LS or the bowguns.
Some match ups u can use striker Lance or Valor GS but the rest of the weapon roster is yikes.
New world weapon and fight changes were a blessing in every regard.
80+ % of the monster roster in GU feels absolute ass to fight too. Of course there good fights but those are few.
Been waiting for this one
As a charge blade and lance main, Im feel a little left out lol. Gonna have to check out gunlance
As an almost exclusively Gunlance main... We are crossing fingers for balancing patches increasing Shelling damage or something. If not we are right there with you.
IG became you'll just fly forever now
Theres some absolute irony of everyone who doesn’t play gunlance being like Gunlance looks so cool!! And then the veterans downing their 5th whiskey being like “if only you knew...”
“Buff mechanics” mean nerfs to the gunlance and it has since it happened in each Gen, Iceborne and Rise. If the Bullet Barrage is two bugs, we’re basically never gonna get to use it because we have to use one wire bug at all times to keep Ground Splitter up. I pray I’m wrong but it’s unfortunately so hard to get hype as a gunlancer no matter how flashy it is.
I'm a bow main but lance is my go to melee weapon and damn not even at least spiral thrust from generations
Solo ranged weapon can be boring but... when you have a full squad of guns and bows, staggering, paralyzing, KOing, then put it to sleep for a BIG ASS BOMB WAKEUP it feels really good.
HBG with that ring and Valor Siege mode is gonna destroy speedrun times. Calling it now.
So basically what hbg normally does everyday
@@RZ-yk2se That but even more faster.
I don't get the longsword hate, but ayeee my main looking sweet!
Dual sword users:
"GIGA DRILLLU BURREAKAA!"
I like how half this video is just Max going "holy shit" to stuff already in the game.
It’s official, Lance is the red-headed step-child of Monster Hunter.
I got exactly what I wanted with db
About long range weapons granted it's not an engaging weapon even I as a bow user gets bored sometimes with it and I can use long sword and great sword for fun but when it comes to a long serious hunt I just excel at long distance, bow wasn't my first choice but it's first weapon that taught me how to play monster hunter
Hey Max, I have an idea that might be fun! What if one day, you react to a full weapon explanation for a weapon? I’ve been watching some lately and it’s pretty good for theory crafting builds!
funny thing is that harvest moon would have been a perfect lance skill
I can already see modders adding that skill to the lance. and Im right here for it
I use everything except Greatsword, Bow, Hammer, Lance, and Hunting Horn, and somehow I'm disappointed by what I saw they got. Especially Lance.
Dood gotta try LBG or HBG using spreadshot. Its more engaging
hmm, do a neat back flip. Or, bat my c4 bee? decisions decisions.
I feel for Lance lol
But as a GS main I’m eatin good I’m sorry
I haven't played Rise yet. Been awhile since I beat World. Maybe I'll pick it up when Sunbreak drops. The Dual Wield shit looks dope af. Bow, Hammer, and Greatsword too. I was Hammer main when I started World but after beating Xeno, I switched to Bow and Dual Wield. Enjoyed the heck outa those. I've always liked the concept behind Charge Blade but doing its "chores" has always been too tedious for my tastes.
Rise CB is considerably easier to grasp than previous games imo due to counter peak performance. It can chain into buffing shield, buffing sword and the big damage moves at the cost of just one wirebug
@@czyu3361 Does the counter help charge phials for SAED faster? Tbh, the hardest thing for me in World was trying to get perfect block into SAED. Did it once, missed, and never tried again xD
I don't think lance is actually that bad- for what it's worth. Lance has always gotten the short straw by being the slow shield poker. It's kinda hard to make that flashy, and instead they decided to make gunlance for that instead. But just on these abilities alone; a better version of the of the insect glaive (hits twice instead of just once) is a pretty nice drop attack, and it now has proper shield bash.
Listen, I ate well, I main switch axe so I’m happy, but I’m still pissed about how long sword basically got a circle where you do double damage and unlimted sprit gauge, and they got a great sword esque charge attack, that’s bullshit
Not speaking for everyone obviously, just myself, but I love playing lbg for the consistency of it's damage output. I think melee is in general much more engaging and fun to play, but I get tired of being knocked around, or charging up a move only to wif it, or to try and do literally any damage to the monster and it just walks away and attacks someone else. Lbg I don't have any of those problems, just shootin and dealin damage at a steady pace.
So Long Sword got Trafalgar Law's "Room" ability from One Piece it seems
I was already long sword exclusive they didn't have to convince me any further 😭
If you're looking for a fun LBG, I can strongly recommend the Tigrex Tank line. Just pump some Lvl2 Shells in there and go DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA. As for bows... I assume everybody here knows about how fun the Counter Chameleos Bow build is right?
look at that funlance!
Longsword: ULTRA COMBO!!!!!
Db main and I'm hype, psycho crushhhhhherrrrrr
I’ve been specifically not looking into the new moves until they were all out. As a Charged Blade main, I feel like they could have given them something better then a defensive stance. We all ready have a timing based parry for a skill that can loop into some fun damage. But just getting a bigger shield mode seems very weak.
