*I Just made a FAR better version of this video for MHW: ICEBORNE!* th-cam.com/video/Vn9xQlqM_1I/w-d-xo.html
I encourage you to watch that instead because you will learn a lot more and it is better constructed overall. Enjoy! -Alex
I subscribed, just because you're so close to 1,000 subs. Also thanks for the video. I know a lot of people who know nothing about Monster Hunter, and have been off put by gameplay. "It looks like a generic hack n' slash." "It looks like a shitty third-person shooter." etc.
Thanks for the incredibly helpful video. I subscribed. I hope you make it to your required quota.
ill give ya one
RuskinKrump Thanks guys, hit that 1k easly! Appreciate it.
glad to hear it. c:
I still remember the first time I had a team of randoms and we pulled a perfect combo. It was Teostra, had a Hunting Horn giving us all buffs, Dual Blade guy did that beyblade spin down his spine, cut off the tail. Longsword started a combo which launched me and my insect glaive into the air, I had all three buffs on and did the spinning drop attack at the same time the longsword finished his combo for an absolutely beautiful kill. The point of all the weapons being in game hit me right about then.
I think that Longsword guy was the most hated in other match
But LS flinches, it doesn't knock you back?
@@kinsan89 I think it was probably a glitch, I've seen the same thing happen in a couple TH-cam videos, it might have something to do with either hitting the right spot on the sword or being in an animation when the sword hits you. Or it could possibly have been patched since this, I haven't played in a while lol
The main things I get flinched by are bowguns…… the sticky ammo is VERY annoying to get flinched by, especially when I’m playing hammer, because BG goes for the head, and so does hammer.
that is an awesome kill, and honestly I love the glaive. Any time I mount a Monster as it tries to flee the current combat zone, I start singing "I'm going on a trip, on my favorite target. I'm going to die."

Couldnt find anyone who did it yet so I did. :D
He never really said it in the video but the light bowgun and heavy bowgun are really different.
Light is made for a mostly support role, with its quick shots you can constantly heal/shield/damage boost allies or poison/paralyze/sleep/track the monster. It doesnt do much damage but thats because its mostly a support weapon.
Heavy is a high damage weapon, (not only when your wryvern is up!) if you constantly use bullets effective against the monster type you WILL be one of the highest dps in your team, the bullets are slow so you cant prioritize supporting the team and sleep/paralyze bullets are kind of a waste due to your shot speed) but its high damage from range more then makes up for it.
Also heavy bowgun in this game can equip a shield apparently so your not just a sitting target...
Pat K Thanks
It should also help to know the game being compared to the weapon in case anyone isn't sure.

S U P E R W E A P O N
But it is! You support those inferior hunters by winning the hunt for them. See? Definitely a support weapon!
As someone that doesn’t even use the hunting horn but knows how godlike it can be, I praise them, they’re songs aren’t to heal your booboos, they’re to help themselves why you just happen to be standing nearby
@@PKmaster12 this is very true, we bring horns that *help* us, not you. It just happens to effect you lmao
HH is that one guy that everyone dismisses because it's not as flashy or cool as the other weapons and so they take them for granted, but in actuality the only reason you were able to live through the battle was because of that HH user. Support weapon? Carry weapon more like.
2018:ew hunting horn
2019: all hail the hunting horn
excuse me? in monster hunter generations the horn turned one of the most annoying monsters (dreadqueen rathian) into a joke
everybody loves a good hunting horn player
Hunting horn seems like an interesting weapon with how its quality is. A bad or mediocre hunting horn player will likely have a lot of trouble since they won't be able to keep buffs up or get the better buffs off while a good hunting horn player can keep a party or themselves buffed heavily and still manage to destroy the monster
[Laughs in MH Rise]

F*ck it, i'm just going what looks most DOPE
Insect glaive bro its the best
Waifu Hunter definitely looks the best
Nabeel Khan hammer is the ish love it!
FairyTailLegend Hammer, insect Glaive, and longsword main here. What do you use?
Insect glaive looks awesome, but I also love bows, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@Magma09 all MH series before new world 😂😂
@@GummyNoir I hate cephadrome more.Those are the real mofos
the whole game is a jojo reference
@@GummyNoir Remember MHF1 when monsters would just wall ride you to death, with 0 way out?
Tigrex in MHF2 was the king of wall riding. Had to stay in the center of the area at all times.
“Casual players of the dark souls series” I think something is wrong with that sentence
Dark souls has casuals? 😂
Reminds me of the time that my room mate laughed because bloodborne has a high plat rate. As in, a lot of players have gotten plat. He assumed that it was because it's an easy plat. NO. it's because soulsbourne players are DEDICATED.
Faith Zebedee interesting observation
Faith Zebedee fuck yeah we are 😤
Should i buy monster hunter? I like ds bloodborne sekiro nioh and most importantly dauntless the only thing is i hate that dauntless doesn’t have a story and that every weapon has the same base stat even when crafting a high level sword.
@@balladin9200 buy it. The story's not much, but the hunt is amazing. I just got it 3 weeks ago, and now truly regret for not buying it sooner
He’s so right. When I first started, I used the charge blade and for some reason just could not understand the combat. I started using dual blades, and since then I’ve had a lot of fun, and even revisited some of the slower weapons and had a lot of fun. It’s definitely important to find a weapon that suits you early on.
your first mistake was starting out with the charge blade
@@quantifiedamalgamation casual charge blade main; what's wrong with them?
@@SpaceMissile hardcore charge blade main; its a joke about how people like saying CB is the hardest weapon in the game when we all know it just becomes repeated movements and muscle memory after a while
@@quantifiedamalgamation oh, gotcha. I haven't played in a long time, but I remember being pretty decent with it. (I _did_ have to read up on how the charging works though.)
lol i dont have friends to play with im always playing alone with my dual swords
Me too
What do you play on?
radical dude what do you play one?
@@westonhall4391 ps4
radical dude rip, I’m on Xbox trying to find people
I like this lance
But can you put a shotgun on it?
Hunters logic
Have a regular sword n board, but then make a complex, explosive morphing version that has better DPS and better blocking. And guard points/parrying.
S T I C K G O B O N K
literally bloodborne
Sounds like God Eater
Switch axe has a mounting attack that if pulled off successfully is like jamming a nuke into the monsters body lol
Sporkinstien I call that baby the jackhammer
Agreed. I witnessed an Anja suffer for it.
Hammer = hit and run
LAUGHS IN WACK-A-MOLE
Yes and no. I'm a hammer main veteran (been since mh3u) and if I could explain what the hammer's playstyle is, it's like baby's first greatsword. Both require a lot of knowledge of the monster and the ability to read that information to maximize the damage potential, but the hammer is a lot easier and forgiving (in some aspects) for that imo. But being able to read the monster and punishing it with a massive blow to the skull is oh so satisfying. 10/10 would bang again lmao.
Dharc Daniel and then if the area is full of slopes.... *Evil laughter*
@@angrysquirrel8816 You thought you weren't gonna die today...well surprise!
It *IS* a hit and run weapon. You HIT the monster and it RUNS away.
Elder Rusty love the hammer
This was an amazingly informative guide for a Total Monster Hunter Noob. The fact that you took all the time to come up with graphs and similar game playstyle and feel for those of us with no experience with this game is such a stroke of genius. Thanks so much for your hard work on this!
Fred Mendenhall . As someone who has used all 14 weapons. 12 weapons from freedom series to 3u and 14 from 4u- generations, the info for these weapons are a little first of all bias and second of all the actual conditions for these weapons weren’t even discussed properly.basically the info you got out of this video is what you’ll get out of just watching the trailer and that’s extremely misleading. He talks about the weapons on a scale of which weapon type does more damage and if you played mh before information like that is extremely misleading. Basically if that chart was real every weapon would have the exact line going straight across because every weapon type is balanced out. Because every weapon type has a set motion value due to the size of each weapon some types have higher dps than others so their values may be smaller. If you want to know what type of weapon is good for you don’t look at the stats look at what it can do and find the techniques in them I suggest looking at gaijin hunters videos on the 14 weapons. He has covered actual tutorials on each weapon on different each game release
Actually that's exactly what I was using this video for. I am completely new to the series. I don't understand how the move sets and playstyle works with the weapons and I was curious about some of the way these move sets work and how they might have a similar style gameplay or move-set wise to a game that is outside the MH series that I might have a bit more experience with. Using that information helped me to look at two different weapons that I was thinking I might use in this game.
The sword and shield because its the Noob friendly weapon and then I was looking at something maybe for Range...and I settled on the bow.
After starting the game last night and trying a number of different weapons...the video was correct in helping me determine that my two play types are going to revolve around these weapons at first. I really enjoined the little bit I got to play last night before going to bed and I am looking forward to having the whole weekend with it after I get off work today.
Fred Mendenhall alright if this video helped you tell me the conditions and perks that the bows have.
Fred Mendenhall from experience this game doesn’t tell you what the perks for each weapon have and what conditions each weapon has and as far as I know this video didn’t go over any of that either
+Javier Rivera bruh if the video helped him it helped him lol how are you going to tell him if it did or didn't
As a somewhat proud wielder of the insect glaive, I can say that the wielders of the glaive can have an alternative role (one I play as). The De-buffer.
comparing playstyles to other games is exactly what i like to see! really helps imagine how it feels. ive been a stalwart sword and shield user since the first game and really warmed my old heart to see it appreciated rather than sold short as a "noob weapon"
I've been playing Monster Hunter for years but never came across such an informative and well made video as this one.
You've done an amazing job!!
gaijin hunter ....
he literally explains every move of every weapon and the motion values of every move ._.
Years? The game just came out
Mack daddy Hank The Monster Hunter series started 14 years ago my dude :)) the original release came out March 11 2004
koiwalo did they re re-release it then for Xbox one PS4 and PC? I've only heard about it until now and have only seen it in the Xbox store until now. I don't know I guess I'm just not in the know but thanks
"With the hammer since you'll be mostly doing blunt damage, if combined with the monsters FACE you'll be stunning him a lot"
I dont think i ever laughed this much on a serious informative video. Freaking amazing, subbed!
Something something "blunt to the face"
10:17
*levi approves*
Nice reference lol
Hehehe hjjhiejdjri4rjrjr
Haha
There are two different play styles with the Insect Glaive. One is the Aerial style which has the Hunter being in the air for almost all of the fight except jumping back up or using the sharpener or other ability (I know they aren’t really abilities, I just couldn’t really think of a better name), and the other is the Ground style which has the Hunter being on the ground for almost all of the fight and only being in the air to mount a monster
I really like how you talked about each weapon as a game type!
I started Monster Hunter in 2004, and I’m Still Hunting!
It really does put things into perspective when they're described in such ways
As a veteran hunter, this is a good guide! I particularly like the recommendations based on other game series, that's a cool idea
Yup! Everyone likes certain genres more than others so why not compare weapons to them. Too bad there is no puzzle game weapon...yet
lol veteran hunter
Junior Ahen 😂😂😂 These niqqas take it to seriously.
Fantastic video, very helpful for the indecisive type like me! Seemed you were challenged with the Insect Glaive analogy which makes sense XD. For me, it reminded me most of the more 'jump-centric' characters from the 'Tales of' RPG series. Like Milla, Judith, or Regal. Maybe a niche series but it's still one of my favorites haha. Insect Glaive in-game description seemed super complicated so I avoided it, but you made it look super fun! I think I'll just dive in and see how I enjoy it.
Boomstick Gaming puzzle sword: every strike requires you to hit a certain part of a monster to unlock a puzzle. After you unlock said puzzle, you enter a frenzy and your attack+attack speed go up. What would normally be a puzzle hit would become a much harder hitting blow until the enraged state is over
Bow is a medium damage weapon...
*laughs in crit element*
as a bow user, i agree.
when the best dps weapon in the game is said to have "medium dmg"
Well many of the info are inaccurate like the HBG damage
Might be early game damage description.
@@raidevil5497 This video was released before the release of the game, no one even had high end builds just whatever the beta offered.
"porbably not going to love them all"
I love every weapon and i cant choose which one to use.
underrated comment
Borgeb they’re all brilliant and have their strengths and weaknesses. I adore how much thought was put into each weapon.
I find myself changing weapon every 5-10 fights. Loving the hammer right now. Super mobile and hits like a truck.
Use only rocks very good weapon for beginners
LGEX as a cb main it’s gonna take u like 10 mins of gameplay and a TH-cam video to figure out how to use it lol the main problem for starting out is that it really requires end game builds to function well
Hunting Horn tutorial: Stun the monster, then dance around playing songs instead of hitting the monster. "You'll notice a drop off in your damage." Killing me, man. Killing me.
I've gotten to the point where I am on board for life! I love this game!

U still play?
Same I’ve been playing since mh3
Kinda sad they got rid of hunter style/art from mhgen
@@davidreddinger2770 I bet the next game will have twice as much and bring back the arts. This game was an experiment to capcom. I'm sure it being the best selling capcom game will factor into the budget in the next game.

I started playing mhw 5 days ago i started with the great sword, when i heard it was a beginner's trap i thought of changing it but fuck that all that matters is me being the big daddy.
I wonder how that ended

Rico Rocket Dang thanks! I thought my voice was kinda boring.
Yea I feel like this is the best video on TH-cam for monster hunter
This was possibly one of the best, most informative, and well-constructed videos I've ever seen for a game. Thank you.
Except for the gunlance, he didn't talk about it much...
eldorito777 it's SHIT
Yeah totally. "It's for people that like the Lance but wish there was more gunnery" - meh. I thought eff you too 😠
You are shit lol. You sure only use Chad weapons if you dislike the Gunlance 😂

"hunting horn damage drops off when playing songs..."
oh dear. that's not how that works.
*Laughs in attack up(L) and self-improvement*
The attack that you perform while playing the song is actually the hunting horn's most damaging attack lol
Hello other horn users are you tired of being told to support instead of just diving in with a full combo and knocking/breaking the monster? Because I am lol
he's missing all kinds of damage potentials on a lot of the weapons tbh
I just recently buy the game and the hh instantly got me i love the weapon and the buffs
As someone just getting into this massive game on my PS4 this video was a huge help to see an hear your views before I get started :) Thank you so much for the time this high quality video took :).
Hands down most helpful concise weapons tutorial I’ve found, I’ve wanted to play these games for 10 years but never had the console til now.
cjbotts same... now if only I had the room in my budget to purchase it
Well get out there and hunt some monsters!
Happy Hunting!
That's pretty much all you can say to greenhorns as far as the general game goes aside from the all important "Never quit". If you give up, you've wasted money on a game you'll never play, but if you stick with it, you've found yourself a new beloved series and honestly one of the better online communities around.
Meta Nightmare445 yea it’s not a game I could see myself giving up on. Boss fights in the DS series were perfect training to fight the monsters in this. Def loving the game in a huge way.
Good. Glad you went that way.
Right on my dude! This is such a great video! The long sword has always been my fav, but that insect glaive is just amazing!
I'm brand new to the series and this guide has helped so much with getting an idea of what I'm getting into with each weapon type. Thank you
How has your journey into the series been?
You are getting a lot of praise for this vid.
And it's well deserved. I honestly can't remember watching a better videogame vid than this.
You are the real MVP. Also, thank you for this.
Awesome! Thanks man. This video blew up on the exact same day as my last day of my job of 8 years (store closing), and it's cool to see everyone show there appreciation! I have a advanced tips & tricks video for MHW coming out tomorrow and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
@@BoomstickGaming it's late, but I am starting now with mhw on pc and this video helped me a lot! Seeing as the game's weapons are well balanced it is good to know the strength and weaknesses of every weapon, while keeping the video enjoyable. thx :)
Its also inaccurate but we can appreciate the effort.
Awesome vid. Already sent it to all of my friends!
(Just one thing)
The dual blades don’t use low damaging attacks to build up to their demon mode, like you described. Demon mode is always available. Using it drains stamina, but fills up a “demon gauge” with successful hits.
When the demon gauge is filled, you enter archdemon mode. In this mode you use your normal move set, but have access to some of your demon mode moves without the stamina drain.
Useful
I feel like the charge blade is really good but people look over the fact that you can charge the blade and the shield so that it can both be electricital
Nah that move is kinda situational. Not bad but during that time you could have used an SAED or chainsaw Y-B for more damage
Love the comparisons to other games/play types! Great video :)
I love how you used video references for each weapon to show similarities. I also like your graphical representation. Overall it was a solid video with great information. #been playing since 2007.
the OG days of the first monster hunter where literally everything was infuriating 4 lyfe
Rofl, I don't remember having it that tough in the first MH. A buddy of mine would just constantly headlock with a BDS while I just carved away at all of the other stuff with a GS.
+Clonos Freid It got a lot easier when I discovered how op the lance was to make coping with the shitty camera easier. The hitboxes were really wonky and small monsters were excessively obnoxious during most hunts. Combine this with the fact mh 1 was the first mh I've ever played and it was just pure rage every hunt
+TheArnoldification I get that. The monster that used to piss me off the most in MH1 other than the original Uragaan was the Plesioth and it's stupid hip checks. Other than that, you're right about lances and how OP they used to be.
Thanks so much I'm a beginner for this game this was greatly needed.
I'm late to the game, but this video is awesome and in depth. The comparisons to other games really helped me. Thanks for this high quality content!
Thank you so much for the game examples comparing! I thought I would have been a charge blade character, but I do love the playstyle of the switch axe
You forget to mention that the Gunlance excels in breaking monster parts, potentially more so than any other weapons because its shelling attacks deal more raw damage that overcomes monsters' defenses. Other than that this video is hella awesome! I sent this to some newbie friends who are joining me later this week.
0ptimystic breaking monster parts as in making them unusable?
Mark Rothermel Noooooo. When you're fighting monsters, certain parts of them are breakable. Tails, claws, antennae, scales and so on. You want to break those to get a chance at more rare monster parts for upgrades.
0ptimystic alright thanks. I haven't played this game yet as you can tell.
Mark Rothermel XD totally cool. Not a problem. I hope you enjoy it if you pick it up. The rest of the series has a steep learning curvem this one still does but it's way more accessible. Just know you're gonna have to put some time in before it clicks.
0ptimystic yea that's what I figured. I tried the 3ds version and was lost but I wanna give it another try hah
What you said at the ending is spot on, happened to me! Uninstalled the game after trying it for the first time with the great sword. Decided to try it again after a few days and chose a higher mobility weapon and it clicked. After a week I came back to the great sword and loved it!
Thank you very much for the weapon introduction, just what I'm looking for.. peace
Thank you thank you thank you! This breakdown is awesome, I am brand new to this series I bought it for my Xbox One X on Friday. I started out with the charge blade and yeah like you said in the video that was a rookie mistake (attacks were bouncing off like you said lol). I switched to the sword and shield which was great and now I’m trying to perfect the insect glaive (love that weapon). I was a little worried at first in the beginning but 14 game hours later and I can already tell I’m being sucked into this game. It’s challenging yet rewarding and there’s such a wide variety of options that it seemingly never gets old. I will recommend this video for all new players and the game to every person I know!
Thanks so much for posting, this was extremely helpful
Just started playing and this has been the best video I watched on any game before playing to get a good start
Really great video by showing players what a weapon style is like in other games they may have played, nicely done.
As a new comer to the Monster Hunter series I very much appreciate the work put into this tutorial. Very very informative.
This video is great. I also love the fact that on every weapon's 'trailer' bit, the character s have different outfits that perfectly fit the weapon types; like the Kulu Ya Ku armor with the insect glaive.
Hunting horn song Recitals actually make up their hardest hitting attacks, so staying on the monster would be prefered to dooting in some corner
I would say that the insect glaive has a bit more to it than riding the monster. I mean the whole insect part of the weapon is pretty significant. Also, aerial attacks do way less damage than some of the ground-based combos.
Awesome video, you really break it down each weapon and how to use it, great job.
Good guide, this and a few other videos have given me a good idea of what I am going to use, I haven't played monster hunter since I was 12 back on PS2, times have changed a lot and I feel like a complete beginner again.
DeepbloodEclipse bro me too! The memories! Lol
Amazing information and presentation. This has helped me a ton. Been avoiding playing the game because i always felt unsure about the weapons. Thanks again.
Thank you. Just came back to this video from yesterday to say that the charge sword is awesome, thanks for the graphs and stuff my man. Solid work
Got MHW last night, having only ever played FPS games this was guide was very helpful, subbed and liked. Keep up the good vids.
I don’t usually comment but goodness this video is well detailed It gives me a great idea of what weapon I should I should be using. Thanks!!!
This was so helpful and I appreciated the graphs lol, thank you 🙂
Bro to this day this is the best weapon breakdown ive found for MHW. Truly awesome stuff dude.
Saw a 16 min video, expected someone to ramble on and on, absolutely not what happened here. Awesome video packed with useful information from start to finish! Thanks!
This was a great video. The perfect amount of information without being overwhelming
Amazing video for a beginner like me! Good work! Still not sure which one ill pick but this is amazing, i originally picked the dual daggers but i am not so sure anymore. Time to go test it all out i guess!
Maan as a new player I thought after watching this I would be able to choose what I want, but now I want it all cause it all looks awesome. Im few hours into the game and I love it already.
Great video BTW. Very very informative and useful to new players.
excellent breakdown and 'this is for you because' content.. really really well done
I'm new for PC release and I have a feeling I'll be referencing this a good bit. Well put together video, you went all-out on information and descriptions. Thanks.
Not really, the information given in many weapons isn't accurate. I would reccomend looking for another review
Great video. I like that you put high level versions of the weapons to give people an idea of what you can work towards. Awesome stuff even though I'm several years late
Incredible video thank you for all the info and good visuals too
I'm loving your monster Hunter videos, and what you have to say about certain things. Keep up the good content!
I was waiting for the Insect Glaive, but you hit the nail on the head. Dragons dogma's mounting was fun as hell, and IG gave me a bit of that.
Blackmongoose I get a little bit of the mobility of a warframe though obviously only at times
Michael Josleyn goug
I mained insect glaive all throughout mh4, I'm really happy with the changes they made because insect glaive for anything before highrank was almost unusable because of the kinsect evolve system.
The insect glaive is focused all of the kinsect so if your struggling with the IG then try changing up your kinsect and see if you want a faster one, stronger one, longer range one, etc.
SnS isn't too bad for that either. The whole "Up ledges/off ledges" trick is very good in a lot of situations, and the new charging jump attack is consistently useful as well.

Thank you for that guide, incredibly helpful
Great vid! You earned yourself another subscriber! 😀👌
This had a lot of really good advice and the concept of relating it to other games is actually really smart for helping inexperienced hunters come in and pick a weapon
For the hunting horn: "You'll see your damage drop off whilst you play your songs"
This isn't true, your songs and encores are also your most damaging attacks.
Started with the switch axe, moved to charge blade around low rank barroth and anjanath, then started playing insect glaive as a guilty pleasure weapon around HR 25. Now, bought iceborne and currently playing through with only insect glaive. Fell in love after taking down tempered Kirin with the deviljho insect glaive.
Nice explanation, as a beginner i found this 11/10 helpful + ive also decided for what class-weapon type im gonna choose 👌👍
Just another advice, while it is good to main a weapon (in my case Greatsword) it is also good to learn the other weapons, you will find yourself in a situation where a monster may feel easier with different weapons
Sweet, but i prefer tanky shield weilder tho..either i go Lance/GunLance or Charge Blade 👍
"Hunting Horn is a Support Weapon"
As a Hunting Horn Connoisseur, I am T R I G G E R E D
Every melody adds a certain spice not just for your allies, but also for yourself
Pull the right strings and right melody buff choices, you gonna be a Monster's musician in their funeral
I snorted at the support weapon comment. Granted when looking at it the HH is the most supportive weapon because of the songs. I love playing supports and I love HH but the dmg is not to be underestimated. Its an all around great weapon for teamplay and criminally underplayed, being the least played weapon in the entire game.
So...it is a support weapon.
Okay... I use both Great Sword and Hunting Horn. While playing with the Horn I also feel that this weapon has a reaaaally high potential damage, however I like to play Horn more when in groups than while playing solo.
With the GS, however, I only play solo. Because I really love to kill and humiliate the monster. kkkkk
@@iliasa.5298 Nearly, its a support weapon who deals damage.
i dont like it because it looks dumb, like a big bagpipe wtf . I think a big flute or something with a sword or dagger on one end could have looked better and hence the weapon would be picked more.
this video is amazing thank you so much
Nicely made video. Love the graphs and play styles comparisons.
As a brand new player to this series, I found this to be very informative and resourceful. Thank you for taking the time to put this great video together for us. I think I speak for most beginners when I say we'll figure out the more advanced stuff later on our own. But, again, this is a great resource for beginners like myself who know absolutely nothing about this game. I've heard a lot of hype about this game, so I can't wait to experience it for myself. I'm taking a few days off from work just to play this (lol). I'll see you all out on the hunt very soon! (:
Mister Duck this is a very informative video about every weapon in the series. If you need any more in-depth information about specific weapons, another content creator, Gaijin Hunter has been making dozens of tutorials for every game in the series. You can also check the subreddit or kiranico. This game is a lot more forthright with information than previous games in the series, but there still may be some things left unsaid.
Definitely a must-watch video for newcomers to the genre!
This was super amazingly helpful for me, thanks
thank you, this was really helpful as I am about to start MH:W as a beginner so this was great help in choosing a weapon as I was a bit overwhelmed with the number to choose from.
This prepares me for the pc release, thank you

Steam ?

Shame its infested by the Denuvo malware!
Very well done thoughtful and thorough thank you so much
"You have a very important job and that is mounting the monster"
Oh? tell me more.
As a fairly new player, i agree that finding the right weapon is key to enjoying the game. Wound up playing around before settling on the long sword for my melee, and flipping between bow and heavy bowgun at range. However, seeing some of the other weapons in action, im more inclined to try broader arsenal now
Thanks so much -- just got the game last week, and started with the great sword. Was hating how slow everything was. Think I'm going to switch to the sword and shield to learn more about the game!
Great video :)
You got yourself a new subscriber
I'll start playing MH for the first time tomorrow with a friend, this was a big help. Thanks for the run down.
I'm new to this game and tried out a few weapons, none of them grabbed me as much as the Glaive did, i love that weapon. It can be devastating if you target the correct areas using the correct combos and using the evade to get out and fire off the kinsect. Its such a busy class and one that i enjoy alot because of that... you can't just run in and button bash, well you can but its not very effective 😂😂 Great video... been thinking about trying the hammer out as i didnt try it yet and this video reinforces my decision to try it. Thanks
Well edited and incredibly useful video. This is good YT content.
Very well organized flow of information that combines easy to hear explanations paired with methodic and informative visual aids. Thank you for this. :)
Aaron Black I disagree. The flow of the video made no sense. It hopped around from one weapon to the next without any meaning. For example, he could've presented ranged weapons one after another, higher skill weapons presented at the end, or put support weapons together. Good info in the video, but poor organization.
spewaysealat I see your point, and I agree that those elements of organization could have made this even better. However I feel that these minor tweaks are unworthy of completely overshadowing the positive elements of the information presented in the video.
Incredible video, thank you.
What I like about this is they keep consistent from the different releases with the weapons along with some additional movements
Quite the informative effort was put into this video and after testing most of the weapons myself i couldn’t agree more with what this video states .
