Hammer: step 1, whack monster in head
Step 2, do it again
Hunting Horn: Step 1, whack monster's head
Step 2, annoy them with music
Reason why I player hammer: Get to yell at all the people in the way of you hitting the head.
How to hammer multiplayer:
1.knock monster.
2.launch away the dualblades that attack head.
Microwave As a guy who uses Hammer from time to time, I feel this a lot
@@brodericksiz625 hammer is My Main weapon and wanna know why?
Its because of the attack flip a dip dip (slope spin)
When you play hunting horn, your teammates are the support weapon
Lmao. My God that's quote worthy 😂
“you ARE the support son!”
That just happen to be in the way.

Amazing, i have much to learn, Pootis Master.
So, Glaive?
Step one, trust your kinsect it is your life line to winning.
Step two, never fully engage without the proper buffs (at least a red to have the flexible combos remember to roll to get out of the reset animation if you missed).
Step three, do not be afraid to use the kinsect as a range weapon while you figure out how to fight a monster (looking at you Kirin).
Step four, the jump animations are fantastic but be smart you can get smacked down either by jumps, touching a charging monster, or sudden bursts of lightening.
Step five, get all the buffs and attempt to mount if you work fast enough you can get a strong flurry of blows in.(and you can explode the clouds while mounted so do target the monster with essence before mounting to keep stumbling it)
Step six, never neglect your kinsect, level it up with your weapons, they have feelings too.
Well constructed and very helpful tips! And finally someone who cares about the Lil Kinsect
"sudden bursts of lightening" Lol. I think I know who you talking about 😄
i have been instructed to not mount when i have all my buffs up and to just strait dps as much as possible no?
that being said, i actually very rarely do not have all my buffs up
Mount when you have buffs, because the buffs can turn 1 button press into 2-3 attacks, which means faster and more efficient mounting. Then, only when the monster is down, should you focus on pure DPS.
As someone who has used the glaive in previous games (specifically Generations) And I am just beginning World. However, it may be obvious, but acquiring the buffs is much easier in World and I would have to say a good rule of thumb for the buffs is head=red, legs=white, body=orange, and the tail is usually green. Also your kinsect will lose stamina when its away from you, so when you are trying to get your buffs, keep it away from you as little as possible, this also helps with aiming at the spots listed above for the needed colors. Another thing is that the glaive is primarily an aerial weapon and should be treated as such, staying grounded will limit your capabilities so don't worry about "jumping too much" just be sure to also watch your own stamina as well because that is what you need to get yourself in the air. Happy Hunting :D
Honestly, I was not expecting this video to be so entertaining. I thought it would be more about facts and damage numbers and the like. Instead it focused on the feel and emotion behind the weapons. Great decision. I really enjoyed the video!
Thanks dude! Always a pleasure knowing you guys enjoyed the video 😊
Yeah damage numbers only matter if you're attempting to speedrun, for general purposes it's a matter of the players preference
You somehow talked positively about almost every weapon. I'm both surprised and impressed.
Lol. Many thanks!
in mhw all weapons have their fun factor, it is a matter of preference really
As someone who plays all weapons in World, I can say every weapon is good and fun to use.
@@janyozenith4331 really? I heard that hh was really bad
@@Pam234 Actually, it is suprisingly fun when you master playing with it. It feels good to buff yourself and your teammates while you're also bonking the monsters in the head. And it's always fun to get the K.O.
I'd recommend trying it out. It may be janky at first, but it will become fun as you get good with it. But to be honest that's true for most weapons as well so...
Fishing rod/ dragonator Main here
Alles wird gut I’m capture net main, I do use the fishing rod sometimes, like for behemoth
Poison plant main here.
Frog main here
Right shoulder main here. You thought the great sword was good, prepare for the tackle spam
Blunt end of the bullet hose is the weapon to surpass metal gear
"Your only form of defense is guarding with your shield"
Evade lancers would like to disagree
+3 Evasion with Lance is OP.
@Tesla most of the moves cover hella distance so if you chain your dodges together you get plenty of i-frames and cover plenty of ground
@Tesla because blocking takes chip damage and stamina, evading only takes stamina (also the Lance evades have much less endlag)
nigga im just explaining how evade lancing works, besides its a much safer alternative against stuff like kulve's lava floor attacks, or kulve in general
@Tesla nigga with your logic elemental builds would be useless, and thats a plain old fucken lie (also evade lancing is actually better for elemental builds since you use more fast pokes instead of charged pokes)
Hunting Horn main here.
Frankly, if you ever wanted to pick up the horn at some point, MH:W is the perfect game to do so. I feel like the motion values on most of the basic attacks got nerfed, but that's because the HH got quite a lot of changes. As far as I remember HH users always followed the same pattern: buff your squad --> dps until buffs expire --> buff up again. MH:Gen tried to solve this tedious pattern (in which you were enslaved by the buff downtimes) by allowing you to keep up 2 songs at time with the double notes (well, as long you sticked to the monster). But now with the triple song stacking and the multiple encores you basically have zero buff downtime, since you can play 3 songs and encore them at the same price of playing and encoring one (which basically translates in more reliable dps) and that's why the motion values on the basic moves got nerfed (attacks are on average 13-16% weaker).
But that's not all tho.
The freaking recitals and encores motion values skyrocketed to insane levels. Back in the days people used to smack monsters heads while playing the songs just to style it off but now you're actually incentivized to do so just because the damage is crazy (185 total motion value over 5 smacks for the backwards encore and you can even roll out of it after the animation, what the hell).
I mean how cool is to K.O. a monster you're giving your back to while playing the songs of your people?
Well worded and very informative! I wouldn't expect any less of a musician of the battlefield.
Many thanks and may your face notes be bountiful!
I thought HH was pretty weak again. I want to use it as an offensive weapon for once, instead of a support weapon. IG and DB can be used perfectly without the buffs (I even mained IG in 4U and almost never used the kinsect), but HH even struggles with buffs active. I hope they would show some more love in World, but instead, they broke the DB instead.
Actually I believe HH is now at its performance peak - I mean, the sole fact that you have basically no buff downtime translates into more reliable DPS, since you're not forced to waste your time into playing songs. Keep also in mind that recitals/encores are now like 100-150% stronger than they used to be, you're actually rewarded with INSANE DAMAGE if you manage to encore the songs while hitting a monster.
Of course, HH now has a significantly higher skill cieling, that's a thing to take note of.
HH definitely feels the best it has ever been. The only problem I have is the lazy design for most of them. Only a few have distinct looks =(
HH main as well here
Don't own a PS or XBox so I gotta wait for the PC release but this sounds amazing
For anyone using the Great Sword: Sheathe it. The monster took some steps back? Sheathe it. Monster looks ready to strike? Sheathe it and dodge. You're slow, the guard is only best used as a immediate last resort or to block things like a flash or roar AND using it lowers your sharpness when struck, so just dodge. It's almost never worth it to take the very slow stroll over to a monster to swing your surf-board sword or try to block the attack, so just sheathe and dodge.
Also, status effect great swords are not worth it for the status itself. Being the big slam sword, it's big damage with few hits, which means less applications of the status. Doesn't mean it wont proc whatever status is on it eventually, but it's nowhere near as reliable or useful as status Dual Blades or Switch Axes.
And, while I'm not a Long Sword main, got one important tip for anyone planning to use one in multiplayer: Watch where you swing it. Long Sword is notorious for causing fellow players to trip and stumble as it's swung around, which is never fun to deal with. Don't attack a monster right next to someone, take a few steps to the side so you wont cut them off from their attacks.
Great tips! All of them! I should've totally mention the Longsword's tendency to interrupt teammates. Longsword and Greatsword wielders be sure to take heed to Lord Greez's generous wisdom!
Many thanks and Happy Hunting bud! ✊
They've actually greatly fixed that long sword issue from what I've seen. There's still a bit of it, but it doesn't seem much more than any other weapon.
Tackle is a pretty good move too.
You can tackle through almost any attack so you could use it to advance a whole lot as well as the wide slash following it.
Great Sword is the closest to Dark Souls-feeling gameplay in MHW. After coming from the Souls games hoping to smack some monsters, the GS really shines with the roll-opportunity/read attacks, or punish playstyle.
It doesn't matter which weapons you play. What matters is if you enjoy it or not. For all the new commers: there is no "best weapon" because it all boils down to preference.
Probably the best comment I seen. I prefer to learn to use all of the weapons even the ones I find difficulty in for fun.
👍👍
Four Rice yeah thx and Ik! But you are a such a gentlemen and add me I’m BaS_aasendi27 I WILL buy it soon and I love axes and hammers❤️🔥
The long sword disagrees

Where was the hunting horn when I was in marching band?
would have made hitting the judges "on accident" SOO much easier XD
No survivors
Omg... Finally a video that tells people not to play songs in a corner with the hunting horn. Gave a like JUST for that. Its supper annoying to see people do that in a game.
Lol. Someone has to correct these lads. MH World is bringing in a boat load of new players and I'm sure you Vets want them playing right. Let's minimize the cheerleading as much as possible.
Corner Horners are horrible to play with.
broedblings a good hh player is always a valuable asset
True, that's why they need to get in on the action as well as buffing.
as a one-third horn user i would agree that its a great weapon, and would say the only time to corner horn would be when some one is mounted and your horn has a song for reduce stamina consumption, attack up and a good health recovery and from my knowledge there isnt a horn with all 3 but ik at least 2 of the 3
Where is my Dragonator?
Lmao. I don't think any future comments can beat this one 👌
🎥 If you wanna see more gameplay beyond even just videos I live stream on Mixer at www.mixer.com/ds_synchro
And I'll be leaving my lobby open for you guys to join in!
DeathStalker Synchro the hammer has more damage the great sword actually does less damage than a hammer
I f****** love the MH Community🤙 always so helpful
The great sword is called great because of weight damage and size that's why it's a great sword ;3
Probably the most fun i've had watching one of these videos. Much love dude
Many thanks! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it and much love to you too dude
Insect Glaive and Charge blade are my babies because they strike a balance with two seperate approaches.
IG: Get out of the way.
CB: Get out of MY way.
Hammers were my first love, but then I met Switch Axes. Safe to say, Hammers became my side ho. But of course, not all good things last. Switch Axes were taken from my gaze when those sexy Charge Blades walked by. And now, I live in a polygamous relationship with all three being my simultaneous favorites. I've been wanting to try Bows, Lances, and Gunlances, but I just can't force myself to leave my mains.
Lol. The cruel reality that there's always a younger sexier weapon right around the corner.
Also gotta drop that heart for Lil Nep 💚
Bows. Are. Bae.
That's literally the same way I feel. I rocked the hammer back in the day then switched to switch axe (pun not intended) then to my current love charge blade, occasionally I go back to switch axe when I want a change.

Sword and Shield main here. The noob toothpick might not be flashy, but it's practical and the hunter's flexible friend.
First off, you potentially are the most consistent source of damage per second for all weapons. You can afford to be relentless and aggressive, because you don't have to step out of the fight to sharpen or pop a healing potion. Because of that you will always be a pain in the monster's backside, stunning and tripping him and leaving him open to everyone else.
You may not hit hard, but it all adds up with time, and with your usually great elemental damage you'll likely be among the top. SnS traditionally has the greatest Dragon elemental damage among all weapons at high rank play. For starting ranks, Poison is a strong and accessible choice. KO damage in particular has been buffed from previous entries, so Shield bashes are worth trying.
Be sure to integrate the Slinger into your combat. Keep an eye out for Slinger bombs, and save them for when a monster tries to run away. You might flinch it and stop it. Though everyone can do this, you're the one ready and able to do it at a moment's notice.
Bring Lifepowders and other powders to your hunts. Just do it. Everyone else will love you. Some armour sets even give you skills to spread your item effects across everyone close by - with this and a SnS, you might kick a Hunting Horn user off his "best support weapon" chair.
Lastly, remember that SnS is the best weapon for a hunt against a monster you've never faced before. The great thing about a jack of all trades is you'll never be caught out without an answer to some new trick that might trip a more specialised weapon. Improvise, adapt, overcome.
Hope this helps, good hunting!

I don't mean to be offensive. But I always assumed the play style was more like Demon's Souls. Yes, I purposely said that one.
You'll be the biggest, most annoying swarm ever!

Sns main here too
Easiest to pick up
Hardest to Master
I think something missed when talking about the lance is just how mobile it actually is. It has access to a back/sidestep which is useful for repositioning, getting out of the way of attacks, or just using it to move towards the enemy. It's useful for all of this because it can be used up to 3 times in a row. It's actually so strong that if you were to invest in evasion skills, you can make the sidesteps your main form of defense as opposed to using the counters.
If you're going for guard lancing instead of the aforementioned evade lancing, you will still find the sidesteps useful for lining up attacks, and it can still be useful to dodge every now and then, especially before you have higher levels on the guard skill. A major gap closing tool for the guard lancer is the shield advance which allows you to move forward a little bit with your shield in front of you, allowing you to keep up with the enemy without leaving yourself as open as when using the charge.
Longsword/Gunlance main here. Some general advice on the playstle of the two weapons.
Longsword first:
Due to reasonably long commits on most of its moves, the thought process with the Longsword in its basic execution should be very similar to that of the Greatsword, land a few hits and then preposition. However, by combining that process with the Fade-Slash you are able to keep moving while maintaining a constant offense and the large build of Spirit by landing it implicitly encourages this method of approach.
The other big element of using the Longsword is striking smart, not fast. As the long commits leave one open for quite a bit and can very easily lead to receiving unneeded damage, the Longsword allows one to stall any attack in a combo for 2-3 seconds before it is dropped. Gauge the distance and the monsters' movements, then decide how you want to proceed.
For Helmbreaker I recommend trying to maximize your usage time of the red bar, it's very tempting to nail the Helmbreaker the second you get into red, but try and hold it and use the sword as aggressively as you can until the bar ist almost depleted, then look for an opportunity to use the Helmbreaker to send it off.
------------
Gunlance:
Gunlance can be very tempting to just use the shelling indiscriminately, Fullbursting does a lot of damage and the Wyrmstake can be use right behind it for a lot of immediate damage, but you will find yourself resharpening your weapon more than you're actually fighting with it. Use the Lance strikes to deal the bulk of your damage when possible, and use quick shells or a Wyrmstake of opportunity after a wide slam to pepper damage where it matters for breaks. This maintains a sharpness for much longer and once you find an opportunity for a lot of damage at once, when a monster has been tripped or toppled for example, then unleash the full burst potential of your weapon. The exception to this is Wyvern Fire as it doesn't degrade the sharpness and is tied to a cooldown rather than reloading. Use this whenever you get the chance to. Wasting one is the lesser mistake to never firing it in the first place.
Secondly, being familiar with your shell type will make your use much more effective. Normal, Long and Wide have very different handling and damage priorities than their explosion cone and ammo capacity. All types share the same base damage values at each level, but apply modifiers on the different shelling types. For example Normal will have a penalty on quick shelling, but a positive modifier for each shell during Full Bursts. Long has the most powerful Wyvern Fire and Wide has a much more powerful charge shot. Knowing these quirks isn't mandatory but can help explaining a lot of confusion about shelling damage.
the last two things I want to mention is the shelling-cycle and angling. The shelling cycle is pretty simple, when you fire a shell it resets your melee string, this allows you to thrust three times, fire a shell, then continue stabbing another three times. this can be done until you run out of ammo. However, in that case you can hit R2+Circle for a quickload that will refill your shells (not your Wyrmstake however) and will allow you to continue your string in the same way. Angling on the other hand refers to firing shells at different angles rather than straight forward. Using R2+Triangle for an upwards thrust or hitting triangle while walking for the running thrust will allow you to fire a shell at a roughly 45° angle upwards, letting you hit things that would be often out of reach. If you fire a shell at this angle, the next thrust in the combo will be an upwards thrust rather than forward -and firing two shells followed by a Wyrmstake will use an elevated angle that is only available through this method.-
_Correction: After testing the animations a little more closely, it turns out I had mistaken gut feeling with fact. The forward Wyrmstake is generally fired at a slightly elevated angle roughly matching that of the elevated shots, but is also capable of tracking down to hit targets close to the ground, covering both with the same attack._
Using the upwards scoop and then firing will cause you to aim almost straight up, which is perfect for hitting flying monster or targeting wings. Hitting Triangle after an upwards shell will result in another upwards scoop rather than any of the thrusts, allowing you to maintain a lot of damage above you or immediately continue into a downward slam. Similarly, firing two shells followed by a Wyrmstake will aim the nail straight up.
My dude! I had to clap after this read! Great advice and truly shows your experience with the weapons! Much appreciated for your knowledge as I'm sure you've helped plenty of hunters with this one!
Helpful comment. I'm new to the series, and like the LS, but I don't know what buttons to do for the helm breaker, could you tell me how to do it?
Seth Abercromby I think this is the longest comment i have read that wasn’t a troll cool
This comment made me want to give up using the gun Lance lmao

Heh, I noticed a lot of grammar errors and typos I'll clean up later, but much appreciated.
TheFlamingTornado1
The Helmbreaker is a combo move. You can execute it as long as you have at least one spirit boost from a Roundslash. Hit R2+Triangle after any attack or roll with your weapon drawn and your character will wind up for a big lunging thrust. If it hits, they run up the monster and leap high into the air. Press Triangle again to use a downward slash that will cost one gauge of spirit boost (that is for example red down to gold). Hitting the slash will not only do a lot of damage corresponding to the original gauge color but also give you a boosted state in which your spirit gauge refills automatically at a speed making moves like the full spirit combo and Foresight Slash into Roundslash almost free.
+Mega174
It's a weapon that has admittedly a lot of nuance in its mechanics, but it is in my opinion quite straightforward in its execution. Don't worry too much about the details at the beginning, once you feel comfortable with your pace the weapon will teach you new tricks as you go along.
Veteran of the Monster Hunter series, so I'll leave in a couple of tips for the new guys. I have a couple of weapons I like to keep in my personal pocket, although this guy does a pretty good job of explaining allot of it. Lemme talk about some of my favorites.
Sword and Shield:
This is the weapon I've probably used the most in all of my experience with monster hunter, along with the longsword.
Despite its....lack luster appearance; don't be fooled. This shit does some powerful damage in the right hands, as most weapons do. They give it to you in the beginning cause it's the most versatile and pretty easy to get used to, But that's only 1 part.
You think cause that it has a shield; you have to play passive? Wrong. This weapon is made to be aggressive. This has a good damage output, without taking away from mobility. Whether it's to mounting monsters, or going in for a couple of stabs and putting up your shield afterwards, it's able to adapt to various situations if needed. The shield is also used as a weapon, causing stun damage and breaking monster parts. Its a very reliable weapon, so don't take this lightly.
Longsword:
Flashy weapon, but style isn't the only thing it has. You hit hard and fast, causing detrimental damage to monsters, making them quiver from your sheer power. As you attack, there is a gauge that builds up next to your health bar. As that Gauge builds up, you get to use a move called "Spirit Slash" which allows you to do multiple empowered slashes. If you manage to get the last slash in at the end of the combo, the blade glows a set color. White being the first level, Yellow being the second, Red being the third. The colors represent an attack buff, with White being the weakest buff, to Red being the strongest. With this weapon, you are a force to be reckoned with.
Gunlance:
This weapon is a combo of defense and offense. You're on the frontlines, dealing big damage and guarding against relentless attacks. Now, with your shield you can poke away at the monster (Provided that they aren't behind you) without worrying about getting harmed. But this isn't any passive gameplay happening here either. You are a major damage dealer, whether it be exploding parts, or just completely destroying the monster to the point where they just fall over from getting staggered.
Heavy Bowgun:
You are the ranged damage dealer. Maybe you don't like being too close to combat, or maybe you just like guns. This weapon is still formidable, providing elemental damage and along with the explosions that we all love. People should not push this weapon aside, as this could save them between life and death. Now in this game, you're able to dodge much more freely and provide the much needed cover that we expect a gunner to provide. Be thankful to your gunner, cause it's not easy trying to cover for your ass.
Light Gunner:
Right off the bat as this name suggests, this is weapons gives more speed then firepower. But don't worry, this weapon still packs a punch. This weapon still has the elemental damage the Heavy Bowgun has, but (Correct me if I'm wrong) this allows you to buff allies with much needed Attack/Defense, or Heal allies if they that quick pick-me-up.
Now these are only SOME of the weapons I used, but these are the ones I used and enjoyed the most. I hope I provided some insight to help you along this long and (at times) aggravating journey. I hope to hunt along side some of you someday.
Loved the enthusiasm in your comentary! :D
Very informative, very well made, and no bias. Great video!! look forward to more
Many thanks! I'll try not to disappoint!
If you enjoy the Dual Blades, I suggest finding and memorizing Wiggly Lichi spawn places, and building dash juice as much as you can as it will cut your stamina drain in half while using demon mode. While helpful with every weapon and playstyle, it's particularly helpful woth the Dual Blades and Insect Glaive.
Once you discocer dash juice with those babies, you can never go back
Question does the armor perk that cuts continuous stamina drain work with dual blades?
@@blazingtorrent1344
I know it's 3 years late, but yes, it does.
Odd, because I started with Dual Blades, and switched to Insect Glaive after the first Barroth. IG is my top, with Lance and DB next. Longsword is only for cutting tails so far.
When using IG, ALWAYS aim for extracts, then send your beetle out to fight alongside you. You’ll get more dps that way. Also, for those who only jump attack, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL!!! The IG is NOT meant to only be an arial weapon! It’s meant to be able attack all sides! By just jump attacking, you’re just wasting it’s potential!
You all need to listen to the Skyking here! ^
(This includes myself at times)
Especially with two normal attacks, into strong attack, and repeat. That is a very strong infinite grounded combo, especially for right after you down the monster from mounting it with aerials.
Also make sure your Palico has the coral highlands gadget level 10 as it can reduce stamina usage
Just wanted to say, your narration is top notch. You're great at selling hype not only for each individual weapon but for the game in general. Very well done.
Many thanks! I really enjoyed making this video so it always warms my heart to see others enjoyed it as well
Insect Glaive veteran here, quick advice. I suggest investing in more kinsect speed above all else. The insects damage is negligible and you are mostly using it for essences. Faster it is the faster you can return and send it out to get more. For insect Glaive veterans coming to this game master our new acrobatic attacks. It helps keep you out of others ways when they are all in cluster below hitting each other and can help in fights like nergigante in keeping off spikes on wings. I just farmed him for the full set and it's sick. Remember to not just use the air though, you are still strong on the ground. Side note faster kinsect can be great for times when the monster is making a run for it to get several hits in. Personally I take this weapon into every fight due to it's versatility. I usually do every hunt alone first and this weapon always makes me feel powerful and prepared.
Ryker Kuechler I'm new to the kinsect squad. I'm fighting the diablos for the first time now and from beginning, to that point, and to the end of my playthrough I'm really gonna stick to the kg. I haven't had as much fun with other weapons as I have with this bug beauty. Please if you have any more tips let me know.
As someone who's also picking up the IG today to get a better understanding this will help a lot. Many thanks! Hope all the bug lovers and pole dancers are taking notes here as well.
More tips, if a monster has a point you can gather health try to use that before you dip into potions, you can also use your kinsect to knock down environmental things like rocks to do serious damage to monsters. Currently I'm trying to figure out how to control my kinsect after I send it out better. I have been able to send it out and then direct a bit in other directions. Oh another tip is to have your kinsect hold a charge before you think you are going to dip out of your full charges. Sometimes wait to collect the kinsect after you have white and red to keep your essence up time longer and attacks strong. I play very aggressively once I got my essences but you got to be careful. Remember the white essence is the most important. It gives you the mobility to get out of the way of attacks even without dodging. Red is next followed by yellow for defense. White is the catalyst that amplifies the other two. Insect Glaive is an absolute beast of a weapon in capable hands. You never stop mastering it. You will die every now and then even if it's rare when you are good with it. Sometimes you just made a bad choice and get monster combo'd lol just learn from the mistake and remember the monster should fear you and you should respect it as your prey. Gather those essences then show the monster who is the top of the food chain.
I wanted to main a new weapon for this game but I just love the IG too much. It’s a part of me now
And I only use speed kinsects
I am new to the MH series, but even before I saw this video, I adored the insect glaive. With its aerial combat and buff usage, it made it one of my strongest weapon types to play with. Although I do love it, I want to branch out towards more weapons like Longsword and Heavy Bow Gun
This was so good to watch even though I've already fallen in love with the hunting horn xD nice job man
Thanks dude! Appreciate it especially coming from a fellow Mass Effect fan.
This is the most helpful video I've seen on this thank you so much man
You're more than welcome dude!
Hammer main here :) A tip not mentioned in this video, if you charge whilst sliding you perform a mid air spinning attack, done right it can do a lot of damage, mount and knock down a monster.
Also hitting a monsters head can make it more tired as well.
This was a *FANTASTIC* video. I mean with so many of these kinds of videos already out, YOURS stands out. You have great clear, easy to listen to voice. You're to the point with just enough information to make it insightful but at the same fun. Your tongue in cheek jokes make your descriptions fun and much more enjoyable to listen to and see all the different weapons. You ARE the jack of all trades, master of none. I salute you sir, great video :)
My dude. Many MANY thanks! Really happy to hear you enjoyed the video so much and thank you for the beautifully written comment!
Ever since it was introduced I have fallen in love with the charge blade. Such a unique weapon. Also the switch axe. I just love the transformation between axe and sword. So cool.
The script for this was beautifully written. Clear and concise, with bits of flair thrown in when appropriate. Great guide
Many thanks! I'll try to stay the course and make more like this then.
wow, great video. I like the way you described each weapon. I like that you didn't focus on the best dmg or worst dmg topics. I liked the you focused on the play-style or the feel of the weapon. You peeked the interest of the person watching the video using emotion. Well done.
I just started playing the other day. I fell in love with the bow the second I saw it. I have had some of my best shots ever with this bow and I don’t plan on stopping.
You obviously put a lot of work into this.. cheers mate.
Many thanks and totally had to. I wanted the new players joining the series to have a nice pleasant and informative video to ease their entry into the franchise.
It's my first MH as well so I hope I presented the weapons accurately.
Damn. I just recently got started with this game and gravitated towards the dual blades. However, you have a way of making them all sound epic.
great explanations! Thanks!
I just bought MHW on PC and although I was a great sword main on PS4 your video helped me realise that dual blades are more fitting for me.
Thanks!
:D
As soon as you got to the lance, I was in love! You encapsulated my unending love for the lance in a perfect way! As well, for the new lancers out there, don't forget to make that jump lance! Just say your shield is your kinsect and you'll be that flying iron fortress you've always wanted to be and never leave the back of the monster!
First love the name Sgt. Flowers! And I'm happy I could convey the beauty of this weapon with my limited lancing experience. May your Lance never falter!
You're the only youtube I've seen that manages to sound dramatic without being cringey. And that's pretty hard!
Lol. I know exactly what you mean
Great Sword and Bow over here! (I’m still trying to figure out everything for the bow currently :’D)
also this video was super good! I really enjoyed hearing all of the emotion behind explaining (?) the weapons and making them sound much more appealing!
Many thanks! 😊
Stay hydrated
Don’t mind me. Just an insect glaive main passing by. *hums as I walk away casually*
By the way here are some tips
RELY ON YOUR KINSECT
They can turn the tables in a second, applying poison and blast damage
DONT BE AFRAID
As a newcomer, I realized that some monsters can move either really fast or really slow, so you can use your vault to your advantage
When the monster is fast moving (Tobi Kadachi, Nergigante, etc) vault only when it is safe, but if they are slow, (barroth) vault as much as possible, but don’t vault if you’re in danger.
VAULT SAVES
Nergigante grows his spikes to a black when he is full grown, so he will do his divebomb attack. If you’re lucky, you can vault and escape the automatic KO . This can be done with other monsters too.
Thanks and happy hunting!
Good Video, I love how the dialogue is more epic here than in the game lmao
Great video thank you 💪🏾
Heavy bow gun main here. Try not to reload shots that you know have a long reload time in the middle of a fight, unless the monster is bound or down. And be sure to use your special ammo whenever you can. If possible. Use heavy explosive shots on monster recovering from an attack, like if they are getting up from a body slam, requires a lot of prediction.
P.s. aim for the fleshy spots and stay in critical distance!
Hunting Horn is OP in multiplayer. Dual Blades in solo (in world at least)
Also, if you decide to pick up GS, don't keep it unsheathed. It's meant to be a hit and run weapon. Unsheathe, execute a charged slash and if possible a combo, then sheathe again. Rinse and repeat.
It pains me that I didn't mention this about the Greatsword. Thanks dude!
It aplyes to GL too, but in place a heavy hit the gl does a ferocious combo.
I personally main the GS and I think that the best way to play it is to go for the true charge then roll and tackle to get straight to the second slash again and then into the true charge slash. You get way higher DPS by doing that, since you don't "waste" time sheathing and unsheathing + you can roll right after the true charge slash has landed, so it takes even less time to land the next true charge :)
Best video I've seen regarding the weapons in this game. And lots of good advice in the comments section, too. Liking the MH community 😊
I agree! The real MVPs are in the comments sections. Much love and many thanks to you guys!
Thanks for all the information on the game weapons. I never played Monster Hunter B4 and I was kinda of the fence about making a 65.00 purchase but your cool non cussing commentary make me want to pick up a copy. Thanks Bro!!!
Well done on this video! The topic is great, but I also want to compliment you on the format as well.
I love the sound levels, music choice, pacing, and presentation. The script is also great with its drama and flare while not being too much or annoying. Every other tutorial on the subject I've seen has been, well, dry; not that I can blame them. I greatly appreciate the work you put in the delivery. Keep it up!
I've always called heavy bowguns hip cannons.
I like this. I like this a lot! Have you seen the HBG go Wyvernheart (machine gun) but you don't aim down the sights. Hard to aim but it's such a great Rambo moment of fully automatic machine gun fire from the hip
.....what if we could do that with artillery fire 🤔
DeathStalker Synchro that would be like every bullet is a rocket mod on halo one. It's hilarity, if you've never seen it you should look it up.
I call HBG " Bowzooka"
I call it: ,,Perfect".
I call wyvernheart "Rambo's wet dream.
I’m a switch axe main and have been one since Tri. I was looking for a secondary weapon, thanks to this video I’m thinking either the Bow for a range weapon, as I’ve played both Horizon Zero Dawn and Dragons Dogma, and both weapons were very fun in their respective Games. As well as Hammer for both simplicity and pure blunt damage for the hardier wyverns. Thanks for the great content!
Great video, made every weapon look super badass and awesome!
If there is someone using a hammer in your party do not go for the head
Is that just to avoid tripping the hammer user?
@@Adeon55 yeah
What if I'm the Hammer usere in my party?
But my charge blade would do more damage?
Teletubby Po the hammer will stun that Monster and let you deal your damage in a second. Be patient.
A nice trick for a light bowgun player, is to plant the small explosives near a sleeping monster, and then melee the explosives and the monster for a massive amount of damage
I really enjoyed the video thank you so much ❤️❤️
This is one of the most well made videos I've ever seen. Bravo.
I really appreciate that. Many thanks!
Elemental discharge is the most satisfying move by its very nature, and that is why I main switch axe.
I personally use all the weapons. I always done this in the previous games and seeing the improvement on each of them in MHW only makes me want to use them all more. They all are way too much fun to pick between and swapping out weapons between hunts make the game a lot more interesting and challenging for me.
Loved the commentary.
I used switch blade because of the great mix of versatility and damage and certain moves are amazing.
Many thanks and I agree about the Switch Axe. That Zero Sum Discharge is insane amounts of fun!
This was really helpful and now I want to get this game!
So, you wanna weild a lance eh?
Well, the sidestep is pretty useful. If you get skills that upgrade it, like evade extender and evade window, you can employ a technique known as "Evade Lancing" this allows you to attack more often senese you won't be bogged down from blocking, but requires more skill.
There's also a handy new move with this game. No, not the power guard.
The shield advance, now you can use it in any direction after an attack, and even then it also allows you to do a lounging attack. This gives you the best way to cover ground, in any direction, while still guarding and then have another way to keep moving.
Dropping that SERIOUS Lance knowledge! Many thanks dude! I hope you future Lancers see this message and thank this gentleman here.
I overuse evade lancing in MHGen
Also a deceptively self-reliant weapon when it comes to mounting. Been maining Lance since gen 3 and can say that, since the inception of jump attacks in gen 4, the Lance has gotten an incredible amount of fun. I'm personally more of a fan of guard lancing though. It's not better, by any means, but it feels more satisfying to me.
I recently found out that when you use a guard advance and then the lounge attack, you can go straight into another guard advance. You can really move around monster.
I use guard advances so often, to back up after a couple combos, to move from one part to another on an immobilized monster while still dealing damage.
AND I cannot stress this enough you can block roars and any sorta flash. You can even parry them, the lance probably has the most reliable source of damage sense only tremors and windsweeping can really stop a combo chain.
Windsweeping is easy to get skills for, I'm not sure about tremmors though...
Last time I played a lance was in MHFU on the PSP and thus I havent used a lance in years. However, I cannot wait to get back into it! Lances are the shizz
Swag axe right here ;D
Badcomedy1 rip filthy Frank
Awesome! I thought it was cool weapon originally but after I blew away that Pukei, swatting the Jagras, and knocked down that Great Jagras all in one go I fell for the weapon.
Just slinging an exploding fiery sword around and hitting everything in the vicinity is enough reason to love the SwAxe
Swaxe is exceedingly versatile when it comes to weapons with no block as with the up swing combo you can rip flyers out of the air.
Y E S
This was surprisingly very useful.
Loved the video and commentary!!!
Many thanks man!
hey DB main here. a little bit of clarification but bulk of damage come from Demon Mode and not Arch Demon mode. Arch Demon mode is just for you to recover stamina will not losing too much DPS. it has access to some moves of demon mode but not all and better than demon mode.
Finally a fual blade user
7:39 Can we talk about how this man just knock a bird out of the air.
Awesome video man, love it
Thanks! Happy to hear you liked it! 😊
Just bought the game.This is extremely helpful, thanks!
Awesome! Happy I could help and wish you the best in your hunts!
Join me brothers! We shall charge our blades and unleash the devil himself! A move stronger than a Plesioth hip check! Charge Blades UNITE!
THESE! These are comments I love see! 😄
I get Smoking Sick Style with my charge blade. This party is getting crazy, let's rock!
I do be liking this this
Quick tip on “I.G”. You can press o (on PlayStation) or b (on Xbox) while in the air, and if the attack lands you can boost into the air again without touching the ground. There for allowing you to never land. Well that is as long as you have stamina.
Çæ Gàł mega dash juice squad
With attack buff only up to 5 times in a row
First of all - not true - the 5th mid-air attack will just make you fall through the monster, he wont jump up again. Also, spamming this attack is the worst you can do as IG. Youre destroying your weapons sharpness, you arent doing alot of damage and the damage you are doing isnt even mounting damage apart from the last strike of the attack. If you just cant get any other hits in on a monster you can use it a bit, but using nothing than this attack shows clearly that you have no idea what youre doing when using the IG
It lets you absolutely tear up wings, which is especially useful against Teo and Luna. @@ItsRayful
I used to main dual blades but I recently took up the insect glaive and I’m loving the play style of it almost as much as if not more than dual blades
Heavy Bowgun. I've mained HBG since Monster Hunter 3, but MHW has made me dual spec into LBG also. Lining up those piercing shots to piledrive through the monster from head to tail, or wingtip to wingtip, or head to wingtip, etc. It does such satisfying, and high, damage. Specializing in artillery shells in MHW can do some of the highest, most consistent burst damage around, granted you have to micromanage your ammo and craft more ammo mid battle. Despite being so heavy and big, you have some serious dodge. Ironically, the HBG is easier to use when the monster is focusing on you! I went through the entirety of MHU3 as solo HBG, abyssal lagia was the hardest. Going solo HBG in MHW is a bit more complicated, where fighting small monsters is actually better to use a LBG instead. Everyone says LBG is for support, and it does that well, but it can also some seriously stupid amounts of damage with the right setup against small and medium monsters. A few of the LBGs grant a multishot to an ammo type. The most versatile of these is the normal 2 ones, ESPECIALLY that one you get from the arena (which is a pain in the ass to obtain!) Then buff that with gear that enhances normal shots, and provided you can keep all three shots of the burst fire on the monsters weakpoint, it can take down small and some medium monsters with stupidly fast time and dps. In MH3U, there was a LBG that was a grenade launcher on crack, and in..... what was it, MHFrontiers or something, had a LBG that multishot SLICING AMMO four times. I doubt capcom will ever reintroduce such an overpowered LBG again. Still, a triple shot normal 2/3 (I can't remember) LBG can do damage per second rivaling the heavy weight melee weapons, but keeping up those headshots is very hard.
tl;dr Use HBG for big bios, and LBG for little bois.
Charge Blade took a good 24 hours of non stop guides and training to learn but it's so rewarding, fun, and not to forget one of the most stylish weapons
Phenomenal video man
Thanks man! Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
i watched another video like this one that was really boring, but your was entertaining the whole way through. I only was looking for the insect glaive part but you did such a better job than the other guy i watched it all lol. Keep up the good work
Will do! And many thanks!
2 things with the long sword is that if you use the foresight slash correctly and attack again with the spirit slash you automatically get the final slash of the spirit slash combo thus putting you to the white level in 2 hits and the same applies if you do the spirit slash in mid air as the moment you hit the ground you will do the final slash and go to the next gauge level
Damn! That's a good tip! Many thanks Jin
I love the bow, especially Aloy's War bow from Horizon zero dawn... great weapon and fun to use.
Dude.. awesome ass video. Brief, to the point and entertaining. Bravo!
Entertaining? Sweeeeeet! I always feel I struggle on the front. 😀
Thanks for the comment dude!
Great Video!
MY MAN BICYCLE WALRUS IN THE FLESH!!!! Many thanks and much appreciated! I hope you're enjoying the game as well dude 💚
So I’m just going to swing things at monsters till something feels right
Where are my bug nerds at?!
It's the first weapon I chose, first time hunter in world, and I am loving it's versatility.
Bug nerd since MH4.
Lets go bug nerds
Yeah bois
TheBoy Scout Awww yaaaa XD
Great video my man
Many thanks Cornmeal! 💚
Hey man. I really appreciate this video! I've been playing for like a month or something and I'm stuck with the dbs. Problem with this community is that no matter what I pick, I get bashed for it except for other mains of said weapon.
I will pass this video on to any other fellow newbies I'll run into.
Hunting Horn main! Pro tip: for around early game (I’m up to the Anjanath assignment which is pretty early) use the pukeipukei horn (forgot real name) it has healing for you/teammates, is powerful for early game (500+ damage, 200+ poison attack) scoutfly up and soundproofing. Very useful for barroth and Tobi-Kadachi in my opinion
I personally use all the range weapons (Bow/LBG/HBG) I prefer having some distance during hunts so I can assess the monsters movements and react accordingly
I love the Great Sword. The feeling of satisfaction I get from pulling of a perfectly timed and placed charge combo, finishing with a true spin slash knocking the monster over is so glorious.
With this one video alone, you got me so excited to play monster hunter world on PC. I’m subscribed!
Awesome to hear! What weapon are you going with?
All heavy weapons, I'm starting out with the great sword 😃
Nice! I used Greatsword on one of my alt character such a great weapon.....pun cringefully unintended 😅
This guy makes everything sound cool
I felt hyped up watching this even tho I’m an experienced hunter
Sadly i dont have any advice (mostly IG HBG or Bow main) as im still really new to monster hunter. But i gotta say this was extremely usefull! The comments are so helpful!
Not sure if this has been said in the comments before, but with the SnS when you end up mounting from the backstep charge attack when you go into triple strike, if you slowly press the buttons in rhythm you can do 40-50 damage until the monster gets KOed from blunt damage to the head rather than the three strikes you'd normally do, taking you from 150ish damage all the way to in the 500's hope this helps any new hunters looking to main SnS
just because the hunting horn and the hammer are both blunt weapons don't think for a second that they are both equal at knocking out your opponent, the hammer isn't called the knockout king for nothing
the hunting horn isn't just a bludgeoning tool that doubles as an instrument, it's more effective at tiring your opponent out than the hammer
very good video man!!!
Many thanks!
Great job on the guide! I wish I watched this when I started. The weapons are kinda different than the first MH.
So, I believe this will still be useful even after iceborne release, so I'm leaving this here.
I'm an IG main. And I may be able to give some tips regarding how to use it.
So first of all, kinsect is essential. Kinsect can gather these 'essence' that will buff your character. There are three kinds of essence with different buffs. In a nutshell, red will help you attack more fiercely, white will make you more 'agile', orange will help you stay on the move.
Red you can get from the part of the monster's body used mostly for attacking
White can be extracted from monster's limbs/ parts used for moving (leg, wing, etc)
Orange from the part that is harder to reach than others.l, depends on the monster
Kinsect have either blunt or sever attack, but not both. It can have elemental attacks as well. Also, auto mode for kinsect is also possible.
Air is your domain. But it doesn't mean you have to stay up there the whole time. stay on the ground when you have the opportunity to unleash much better dps.
In midair, you can Dodge using both the Dodge button and attacks. Though the later will drain your stamina.
Know when to sharpen your glaive, and to drop down. Being able to fly doesn't make you invincible.
You can master all of this just by playing the game. You will understand everything without you realizing it.
Lastly, do give other weapons a try to keep you from getting bored playing the game. Most of the time, it will make you appreciate IG even more! For me at least :)
On the greatsword You don't necesarilly need to charge all your attacks to third stage, on your third charge atrike you do a move called the true charge strike thats the one where you swing and hit for a little damage then roll forward to hit again for massive damage. That hit is the main damaging attack you generally want to go for. If you want to just simply advance forward while attacking though just alternate between wide slash and straight slash.
Hunters Bow is my jam! Also Deathstalker synchro sounds like a rapper named Khary I listen to.
Lol. No way. What's your favorite of his songs? I gotta hear this!
DeathStalker Synchro find me remix, cowboy beebop, donkey kong 64 and Captain. Dat captain track is fuego
Oh my Gosh! You're so right! I can actually hear it! It's so weird! Is this what it would sound like if I was cool enough to rap?
DeathStalker Synchro Lmfaooooo
sah dude. Sorry friend bring a blade....
