*The Clawblade, Cannon, and Staff, are unlocked in chapter 2.*
*By the way, I also factor in raw "complexity", stamina management, and mobility, when analyzing the difficulty of a weapon. That stat only applies to brand new players.* -BoomstickAlex
Idk why they wouldn't have all weapons from the start.
Holy crap did not know you could do that with the maul and boxes. That's pretty funny.
Good game. Patch will make it better.
Simple and to the point. Good.
We hope.
It's a good day when boomstick gets his hands on a game fr
I would say the Wagasa's mobility is high. Its really only second to the Claw Blade, and its definitely superior to the other weapons with a medium mobility.
nice i want to use the claw blade after watching this
I love the katana and don't like any other weapon. I'm trying to really master it and with the new patch came a new katana move which makes it flow much more in battle. This was needed and I'm glad the devs listen to us!
I've been using the Karakuri staff, it's very fun
The whackstick isn’t that hard in my opinion, it’s not that you have to learn to use each transformation. It’s just one combo allowing you to go in sword mode, you just have to time your transformations after attacks, just like the bonkbarrel.
Agreed. And if you have a karakuri build you can ultimately avoid half the transfers and just spam the moves that get 2 bars instead of 1 and get to the big swing faster. It’s a deceiving weapon that makes you this honest transitioning and flowing is key. But it’s not. Imo. Reminds me of monster hunter and how you’d have dead combo routes that almost felt like they existed to throw the player off from learning properly.
The staff looks good
I have been playing bow by far the most and due to its range, mobility it seems to be the the easiest ( most comfortable) for me. Been maining range weapons in MHW prior.
And I like this bow a lot. Everything is comfortably and safely useable with that weapon in wild heart.
The cannon on the other hand is much less mobile and has longer animations.
And it's coolest move is defenitely harder to build up because of the projectile speed and short range when firing a ki-base ( they have to hit the kemono and be picked up to charge the big laser).
So if you want to fully use the cannon moves you are even more vulnerable because the ki-base can be at dangerous spots while the bow can always move freely and reposition optimally.
pro tip! use glider karakuri to fly and shoot simultaneously, you’ll be able to build up enough heat to use your big damage laser without having to worry about safety really. you can land close to the monster and use the shell point blank for a confirmed hit, then laser it up. very easy and good damage. plus ac130 cosplay
@@megamilkxl3414 gonna try that
With some stow speed, u can stow the cannon pretty quick. Which lets u swap to fire and put it away faster so u have more mobility. U can hit the ki base mortars a lot easier by hugging the kemono. No aim needed, just huge balls, lol! U can also animation cancel all the cannon moves! U can dodge roll out of dropping or picking up ki bases, and u can dodge roll out of picking up the charge for ur laser. This cuts the animation time in half! U can also use celestial anchor and shoot and do a spread shot. This doesn't cost any charge and builds heat up super fast. 2 anchor spread shots, and u have a charged ki base mortar ready. U can also animation cancel these as well so they happen faster, one after another! U can use torch first, then anchor spread shot and literally just 1 torched spread shot basically gives u a full charge.. U can also dodge roll out of laser attack at any point, before or after firing.
Bow is definitely safer than cannon as most ur attacks don't need to be so close (*cough *cough ki base mortars) and like u said u don't need to hit a mortar shot to get a laser attack. Bow just goes with the flow.
@@Towelie42O good summary. Been playing for hundreds of hours after my original comment.
And I loved the cannon the most after all.
Shortly after my original comment I switched to cannon main and never looked back.
@YourTamedLion That is awesome lol! I'm a newer player and I started playing cannon as soon as I unlocked it, lol. It had so much tech to learn but I love it as well! Its basically a greatsword gun, and i love giant swords😂
Initially wanted to try the wagasa in this game then when I tried it for the first time I thought it was quite difficult to use so I used the mail and found a lot more success then I bought the game for my girlfriend cause she thought it looked fun and so I made a new character and picked the wagasa back up and started learning how to use it more effectively and it is now easily my favorite weapon it is incredibly satisfying to use and visually please with your armor sets (if you are into the fashion game B) ) but definitely a must try weapon for everyone super fun
def agree. in adition i'd say the staff and the claw blades are also weapons that are incredibly unique, all of them great pick ups for anyone wanting to try a new kind of fantasy that you dont get often from a lot of games
I would argue that wagasa is high difficulty because of the tight parry timing, unless you're really good at it, and the bow really should be medium difficulty, its not a very complex weapon/hard weapon to play.
I’ve been trying wagasa and it’s a pain to parry on time I just make the karakuri wall and jump attack to fill the bar or if I notice a simple attack I can parry but some are almost impossible to time.
@@TheNamezZ bro same for some reason there's some monsters I just couldn't parry like the irontail could never get the timing down
Nodachi main here. Love it.
Same. I've tried everything else except the claw blade and I keep going back to the nodachi. So much so I made one for each element. Lol
Which weapons have parrying aside from the Wagasa. Because parrying is amazing
Just Wagasa has parry
I came across this video, the game just stopped working 7 hours after i started playing anyone knows a possible reason? (yes, I talked with the support and it didn't change a thing)
The staff does give animation lock when you are in the middle of doing one of your R2 combos so doing them the right time is crucial and button mashing won't work on enemies like Golden Tempest who fight like crazy and are jumping around spinning slapping with u anime moves right out of ur button mashing animation lock now your down for the count because u mashed and yes you can be hit with combos as well as them difference being u die with two or three hits and that's with food buff's it's all about timing with the staff.
0:23 I never knew the Kitana can latch on to a Kemono like that. Do you just do a plunging attack after using the stake?
Yea, me too, I wonder how he did that?
Bow with glider opens its use and damage a lot btw. Use it to hit a hard shot, into a full charge volley to apply arrows, the glide right after to detonate the arrows with the power shot. Extremely high dps that is mobile to dodge and move away while throwing in top dps. Only downside is if you run out of karakuri/thread points, but after one or two volleys, the bosses can be harvested for thread to continue onslaught.
yeah. i keep seeing people forgetting the glider exists with the bow, thinking it’s all about box and spring…. glider is basically improved box
I always end each volley with a side step switch to power shot for max DPS. Then anchor jump away and shoot, which will give you a full max charge on the bow to follow the same pattern. Non stop DPS
Claeblades look super fun. I would try all weapons but like monster hunter I would never use a ranged weapon I know in monster hunter people do some serious damage there just not for me I've always like melee for games no ranged
Honestly try it, the cannon actually has to be used pretty close with the bow only being a little better cause after a certain distance every attack does 1-3 damage so you gotta stay close. The bow is also super good at breaking parts cause you can easily focus parts
If this game added a lance and shield weapon my life would be complete. I love lance and shield from MHW
A fellow Lance enjoyer I see
Wow there ain't to many people like you and the other guy love seeing people use weapons most don't. I've never tried it. I use the inscet glaive absolutely love it. I always try to play with something else but just go right back lol
Closest is the umbrella, you can block ALL the things. In fact it’s encouraged so you build up the meter to do more damage
I highly reccomend the umbrella, you can jump around with it almost like a gunlance from Rise and, you can block literally everything with the parry.
Edit: There is also an armor piece that increases the parry window, so if you can't hit that perfect window don't worry.
Lance superiority gang rise up
"Boom" goes the stick!,
how is the bow high difficulty?
bow horizontal plant explosives bow vertical detonate explosives
also nodachi has more of a medium mobility the lowest mobility weapon would be the the cannon
wow...karakuri staff...just wow...
having a good maul player in a party of 3 will smash the kenomo pretty handily since you can get off full charged hits fairly easily when their attention isnt on them.
Yes i find some enemies to be just outright annoying when im solo, but in group play it becomes much easier to lay down a ton of damage.
@Stuck Trippin absolutely. Looking at you lavaback lol
So I see that you're latching on monsters and attacking like with the kitana and hammer how did u do that
Will they add more weapons?
Monster hunter ist König. Die Perfektion in dem Genre ist Phänomenal. Trotzdem hat wild hearts seine Daseinsberechtigung. Also ich bin schon jetzt kleiner Fan und würde es geniessen, wenn MH einwenig eierflattern bekommt und natürlich auch nachlegen will. Konkurenz ist immer gut. Aber auch so ist so ein tolles spiel- Mega schnelles Movement und das bauen ist ne geile abwechslung zum normalem schlagen. Einfach nurGeil. ich hoffe sie machen weiter mit diesem teil.
God that gameplay is so smooth... I wish my 4090 could do that...

@@Fabio82586 lol spend a few hundred for great fps vs a few thousand
If you’re a hammer main in mhw like I am, the maul ain’t hard at all and feels slightly quicker so you’ll have a good time!
The nodachi is more like mh hammer. The maul is more like mh sns
@@chrisjames5372 Really? Interesting. Never used sword n shield in world, but I picked up pretty fast on the maul mechanics in less than a few minutes, so fun smacking kemono across the map 😂
@@chrisjames5372 The only thing that the hammer and nodachi share is the charge while moving but that's kinda where similarities stop I think. Other than that it has a similar gameplay loop to GS. It has LVL 1-3 charge and your goal is to hit the true charge slash equivalent while getting in smaller hits till you get that opening. Maybe I didn't play hammer in MH enough but they feel like two separate playstyles (given this is a different game but nodachi scratches my GS itch, not the maul like many people are saying).
@@MrKing-qd7gi its exactly the same as hammer. Move whilst charging 3 stages of charge each one resulting in a different attack. Basic x and y combos.
Literally the only thing it shares with great sword is the fact it has a big damaging attack at the end of the charge. That is all. It does not in anyway share a similar gameplay loop as greatsword. I've played since mhfu and gs mained for a lot of that time.
Nodachi and hammer have far more similarities than nodachi and gs
The maul has more similarities to gs than the nodachi does
@@chrisjames5372 Well I came in at World so I guess you've got more experience but I've still put in tons of hunts as a GS main in 2 monster hunter games to know that Odachi is closer to a GS playstyle than the Maul is. Maybe the movesets between Odachi and hammer are visually similar but the Odachi centers around its big hits and that single factor changes the playstyle. Again, haven't played hammer a ton but it seems centered around "KO monster with spinny moves> big bang combo".
I'll settle on Odachi being similar as a hybrid of the two playstyles but I don't understand any of these comparisons with maul and GS. I guess because it's got a 3 hit combo? Only no charging (which is integral to the identity of the GS). To me it seemed like a shorter big bang combo if anything but thats out of my range of experience. Also, the ideal way to play Odachi isn't even to move around while charging then release to do the move you want. It's to land the smaller hits while charging to ideally release the big hit (3 smaller hits go straight into the big hit) or to charge in place and release a big hit. That is also similar to how the GS plays. It even has a (not as useful) tackle, the triangle button moves either towards them or away with a few I-frames while dealing small damage that you can use to continue a charge. I'm talking playstyle here, not how similar the moves seem.
Main takeaway. You may be right about it being like hammer, but maul is not like the GS in my experience and the Odachi still itches that GS itch far better than maul does. This is coming from someone who's at wild heart's endgame.
For me, the Greatsword had a really enjoyable playstyle in Monster Hunter. I haven't bought Wild Hearts yet, but I think, I will like playing the Nodachi.
maul is more similar to great sword IMO like not visually but from a gameplay perspectove. (yes i played nodachi and maul a fair bit already)
I didn't like the nodachi cause it's the simplest of the weapons to use hold f to holster and attack and that most of what you can do cause the dodge attach isn't great. I wish it had more combos
@@zace7951 I have played the Nodachi and noticed, that when you hold the charge button, you can swing it and with each successful hit the chargebar gets filled quicker and this opens up more combos. After finding this out, the Nodachi was much better to play, because I was disappointed too at the beginning.
Try it out.

:D
I love how the easy claw blade was hard for me to use, but the hard karakuri staff is easy for me 🤣🤣 lmao
The claw blade had insane DPS when you land the combos correctly
I would say its easy to pick up and medium to master bc the hits can be awkward to land in claw mode
Easy AF to master, the game having bad hitboxes ATM doesn't make the weapon any harder; just frustrating.
Does you craft new weapons or is always the same weapon?
You craft new and upgrade them with monster parts, just as in Monster Hunter.
@@isiboy sweet! Thanks :) will get it
Bladed Wasabi Main here 🙋🏻♂️
Disagree with umbrella. Stamina management is a thing for that weapon. Parry use quite lot of stamina and dodging is too short.
As a umbrella main I agree XD but the on dodge is actually longer than most weapons weirdly enough
The game looks like so much fun. Kinda makes me want a PS5.
Its also on PC and Xbox
@@Eviltwin1 pc is horribly unoptimized
@@marcusevonblade2804 for now anyway. I think they already said some patches were on the way, so I guess wait a couple weeks until they fix it.
Any Weapon Recommendation thats similar to Switch Axe?
probably the karakuri staff since it switches forms a lot.
@@8bitArtist thanks 🦊
Hopefully this is helpful feedback. The audio really bothered me in this video for some reason. Either the background music or the in-game effects should've been lower... it felt like they were both at 100.
cannon and a bow? That's all in ranged weapons?
Idk if I really agree with this list. I mean, I see the points. But if online play is any indication… this list isn’t accurate. Because for a weapons that are so easy. I don’t see claw blade often and when I do they are always dying. And then for the bow to be so hard I sometimes have 2 bows on the same mission. Easy of use play into how popular a weapon is picked in hunter like games. The “try-hard” community ain’t that real.
For me. Based on my experience and observations. Easy to hard

Waiting Gaunlet from Toukiden 🤣
medium damage on the cannon? bruh. its legit got the third highest burst and more than the nodachi
claw blade reminds me of attack on titan lol
So from what i theories that these powerful majestic beasts once respected and some of them quite docile and have coexist with humanity quite long time ago.But something had made them becoming rabid and went cuckoo so badly ....so humanity had no choice but to exterminate them like a damn pest
Clawblade is Attack on Titan
Ain't no way karakuri staff is the hardest, just button mash square and r2 then r2 + triangle. The hardest is the umbrella extremely tight party window and punish you for missing a parry.
By difficulty he just means the overall complexity of the weapon. The Wagasa parry is the hardest move in the game to master but it doesnt make the weapon as a whole complicated.
@@sobervision1049 there is no complexity in Karakuri staff since you can just spam attacks and R2 and it still a smooth transition between weapon since all of their hitbox is the same, only the triangle have a bit of variation between weapon, Wagasa just punish you for being too greedy on parry if you miss it and its the worst weapon in the game without gauge.
@@taleofsonata1 Choosing to spam 2 attacks with the weapon doesnt take away from the fact that it has a complex design thats unique even among the other weapons. Its mostly bad design but the concept of the Staff is meant to have more depth than the other weapons.
@@sobervision1049 It can have a billion moveset but if the optimal play is the spam 2 button moves it defeats the purpose of it being a complex weapon.
@@sobervision1049 yea they were going after a charge blade type weapons and they accidentally just made a button smasher lol. I mean it’s fun but definitely wouldn’t recommend it to actual charge blade users because it doesn’t have the same technical feel or fun from being complex. But it’s fun to just kinda attack and have cool weapons every time you r2
Bladed wagasa difficultly medium? It's high risk weapon given your damage and best DPS is dependent on you getting parries and learning the monster play style. But all other weapons I agree and yea wagasa mobility is high especially if you are using the lamp
Good game if it let me play
@NicegramBoomstickgaming. what
Yeah... i gotta say, youve gotta be either averaging your low gauge and high gauge damage or just outright using it wrong if your Bladed Wagisa damage is just Medium, a full gauge Trey Star deals roughly 93% of the damage of an equivalent Nodachi full charge attack contacting except Trey Star is quick to come out, multi-hit for easier application of chance on-hit effects like fire from a torch karakuri or any of the Ailment Wielder skills, useable on demand, and only costs ~1/3 of your stamina meter so you can get off 3 of them in the time it takes the Nodachi to charge up once, plus at full gauge your air combo is doing slightly more damage than a Maul's base length combo but coming out way faster (granted that is using the maul wrong but the point stands), and youre definitely using it wrong if youre putting it at medium mobility, the thing can literally fly with its air combos and zoop around as it pleases with Void Shift
Bow High? Bow its easy. I can only play with bow. Another weapons its hard for me.
Same
Personally I would've put wagasa over the bow but u do see why u would've had bow be harder
Bow has high stamina management, or you don't be able to dodge when you need to. Also, it has the two modes you need to constantly jump between to be effective.
Agreed I feel the wagasa is harder. Wagasa has a stamina management system too plus you have to time your parry well or your screwed.
Bow high difficulty? Played same game? XD
No halberd weapon so I'll pass.
Lul, bow is one of the easiest weapons. You don't need to care about close attacks of kemono's, just spam 3 attacks and you will win every fight without effort. Nadachi should be pointed as Hard, instead of Bow, because you need much more skill to decide when to hit, how to dodge and to get the charge correctly. That weapon has much more tactic in it compared to bow where you can even don't use katakuri.
Personally would not put bow at high difficulty anymore. It took me less than an hour to get the bow mechanics and combinations down. I’m typically an aerial player, using the kinesect staff through the last 3 MH’s. So it’s not like I have prior experience in these games with bows
Great Sword = Nodachi
Long Sword = Katana
Dual Blades = Claw Blades
Heavy Bowgun = Cannon (Also Light Bowgun to some extent)
Lance/Sword & Shield = Wagasa (Blocking/Counters)
Bow = duh
Hammer = Maul (Hunting Horn too simply cuz BONK)
Switch Axe/ Charge Blade = Staff (its morphing time)
Interesting playstyles in this game compared to some of the best combat in the 5 Gen of Monster Hunter through World & Rise. If there's any gameplay depiction of the other weapons not mentioned; Gunlance or Insect glaive, lemme know if ya'd like
I feel like the Maul = Greatsword and Nodachi = Hammer. The Maul has you locked in place while going through its three-hit combo much like the TCS combo for GS, where the Nodachi can move around while charging its big attack much like Hammer in MH. Granted, none of them really line up 100% with MH (which is definitely a good thing, would be kinda boring if they did), but going through moveset videos my Hammer main brain saw Nodachi and said, "Oh yeah, that's Hammer if it stayed up for two days straight bingeing Berserk!"
Everything else I definitely agree with though. Either way I'm definitely looking forward to checking this game out!
No HH equivalent in sight unfortunately
Wrong
Great sword = maul
Long sword = brella
Sword n shield = kinda maul too
Hammer = nodachi
Staff = kinda dual blades.. You just mash R2+Square at same time as fast as u can
@@chrisjames5372 this guy gets it
(although honestly i dont htink theres really a comparison between them)
Comparing these weapons to only 1 weapon from mh is a mistake imo.
Staff kinda works like sns perfect rush to charge up like CB but instead of SAED you do ultimate GS TCS
Umbrella looks kinda like IG with LS mix
Nodachi is pretty much hammer mixed with GS
Bow is rather unique. You cant rly compare it to mh bow...
Katana would be close to LS but with small mix of SA
they all look kinda samey visually, lots of aerials and jumping around. is there anything for mh lance/gunlance players?
Sadly no. There no lance/poke weapons at the moment
the umbrella has a parry that costs stamina to use and stops monster attacks while building its meter. the aerials are from the tools you use in this game rather than the weapons themselves
@@UnstoppableSmooze i really dont like this seems to be force to use them, its kinda same as this forced counter playstyle in Rise i disliked a lot, shame all playstyles seems homogenized
yeee none of their playstyles are even remotely similar
From my experience only the wagasa, maul, and claw blade have aerial combat without using the karakuri
Attack dmg medium for the staff...... Hahahaha
Staff is definitely apex weaponry
Wut? Hammer is easy mode, don't sleep on the non charged combos if you near the head the stagger chance is very good. Canon is the hardest to use, positioning is everything.
Difficult doesn't mean "not good". It requires extra timing based inputs for most all swings, and is pretty slow. To a brand new player, that would be one of the harder weapons to pick up and be good with.
To me, the cannon has very low raw "inputs', making it somewhat easier once you understand the couple of moves your going to be doing over and over.
This would be so good with humanoid enemies
Humans are definitely the biggest monsters on this planet 😔
The bow is not hard wtf haha 😂 wagasa is much harder
i think karakuri staff is very easy tbh
It's fairly easy to use on a basic level, but if you start playing around with all of the alternate attacks out of different moves, also out of different transformations, it has alot of complexity.
Obviously made by a bow main; difficulty high? Lol
Staff hard…say what? It’s insanely easy to use well and one of the easiest in the game to do good with.
I also factor in "complexity" when analyzing difficulty. At any given moment, the staff has numerous attacks to understand and correctly use, across multiple transformations. Spamming attacks and swapping, rinse and repeat, is somewhat easy with it tho, yes.
@@BoomstickGaming I'd argue Nodachi is harder to use than the staff, simply because of how fast kemono become later coupled with needing 5 sec. To do good dmg, and 3 sec. Of not being hit to get the dmg off.
Staff is hard. It has the most moveset in the game
@@skyslayer7660 it has 4 1/2 movesets of like 2-3 moves each. And to play the weapon correctly it's literally just 1-2 attacks then shift to build Gauge for greatsword then unleash it. Not complex at all, hardest part is landing all the hits with your finisher.
@@mordecaigalidonus2863 Each weapon has a heavy attack making the weapon have about 10 attacks normally that's more then all weapons. Plus the different combos and moves for each special attack from the building things.
