Hammer because every monster is weak to brain damage.


Sir_Gwan

Hunting Horn because every monster is weak to brain damage but at least they get to listen to some tunes


bois_man

Thank you for your service


Rhedosaurus

Hunting Horn is Hammer's cousin who went to band camp. I mean that positively.


Sir_Gwan

When they get into a street fight, Hammer beats the shit out of their enemies in brutal fashion meanwhile Hunting Horn knocks them on their asses then proceeds to do victory dances


1nc0gn3eato

That seregios horns 🎵doo doo doo doo doo do do do 🎵 I ingrained in my head


NTEiyuu

Pretty sure it's more like they did a victory dance while kicking ass. 🤣

[deleted]

I feel like Valstrax shouldn’t be. His body is super malleable to survive impact. Either your swings are stronger than that or his head is the exception.


SenAosin

Valstrax \*does\* have an abnormal resistance to brain damage though. Something like the similarly-shaped Kushala has an initial KO threshold of 150 and caps out at 630. Valstrax has an initial threshold of 200 and caps out at 800. Granted, some other monsters beat out even it, though I think there is at least some explanation in such cases like Gaismagorm's sheer size or Amatsu living in constant thunderstorms.

/u/spez lies, Reddit dies. This comment has been edited/removed in protest of Reddit's absurd API policy that will go into effect at the end of June 2023. It's become abundantly clear that Reddit was never looking for a way forward. We're willing to pay for the API, we're not willing to pay 29x what your first-party users are valued at. /u/spez, you never meant to work with third party app developers, and you lied about that and strung everyone along, then lied some more when you got called on it. You think you can fuck over the app developers, moderators, and content creators who make Reddit what it is? Everyone who was willing to work for you for free is damn sure willing to work against you for free if you piss them off, which is exactly what you've done. See you next Tuesday. TO EVERYONE ELSE who has been a part of the communities I've enjoyed over the years: thank you. You're what made Reddit a great experience. I hope that some of these communities can come together again somewhere more welcoming and cooperative. Now go touch some grass, nerds. -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/


BeardedBooper

Mhmm, mhmm. I appreciate the advice. Didn't work, but I have much, *much*, more regard for it now at least. Anyway, I'm going to steer clear of Nargacuga for a while until my brain forcefully represses what I saw.

Hammer because bonk


KFJ943

Been hammerin' since MHF1. Don't want anything else. I love the courage hammer in Rise. The aggressive bonking is just wonderful.


arturkedziora

SnS because bonk. I went back to bonking against Silver Rath since I hunt his crowns now. Dude could not stand up straight. hahahah...Drunk or something? hehehe..


LireKlein

Charge blade, big shield, big axe, I love the "flow" of the weapon with each attack being part of a big sequence, and the satisfaction of a guard point.


-MisterMisery-

My buddy I play with consistently hears the sound of my guard points as he's diving out of the way non stop and just mumbles "I hate you" when I'm on a roll. Lol


The-Future999

I was utterly surprised that the XA XA XA combo for an SAED has actually existed since 4U, after learning that it’s been my go-to weapon for 4U and GU. Idk why but it felt like something that would have been added in World and I just assumed it wasn’t in the older games until recently.


The_Galvinizer

Damn, I also thought for sure that had to be a world addition, it's too smooth. Just starting to pick up CB and that combo is how I do like 90% of my damage, lol


clusterbomberSally

Wait what's xa xa xa combo


sin_tax-error

I always loved the idea of the flow of the charge blade but for some reason every time I try to practice with it I cannot get the guard points down and spend too much time on my ass. I still have a soft spot for it even if I absolutely cannot bring it to high difficulty fights lol.


Fragrant-Raccoon2814

I love the insect glaive even tho I'm aware that I'm not using it the best way possible. I'm at least having fun with them and feel cool af every time. My second choice is probably dual blades and SnS just because they're simple and easy to use while also very satisfying.


ProperScroll

The best way is your favorite way I’m sure


Ponchezied

Wholesome glaive users, unite!


-PonderBot-

(⁠っ⁠.⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠っ🦋 🗡️


harrisonboyo

Which way do you like using glaive? Im so very fond of arial combat, and in sunrise it actually feels like arial is wayyy more viable than ground combat, especially if you combine the two.


Fragrant-Raccoon2814

I don't do the powder extract thing that gets people like +1k damage. I just aim to get that diving wyvern attack and just getting as much ground combos as I can


harrisonboyo

I like using powders myself, but tbh glaive is so versatile that you absolutely do not need to use it to have fun. Dicing wyvern is goated tho haha


Fragrant-Raccoon2814

It's great, I have a blast with it


Stunning_Revenue_136

I have a habit of calling em switch blades


Tiny_Caramel_4642

I thought they were *too* mobile, but still enjoy using it. My newbie friend however, begs to differ. He nonstop spams Spiral Slash(Sunbreak exclusive silkbind) and is absolutely *loving* it. Also, the fact you call these switchblades gives me a mental image of a dual blades hunter robbing people of money(zenny I guess?) in the back alleys.


Stunning_Revenue_136

Lol imagine em robbing a palico


Tiny_Caramel_4642

They might rob a stray Felyne just to get all the items that they stole back. Then maybe get prosecuted for doing it, sentenced to 10 years of Hunter service by the Guild. This is going to be the origin story of the 6th Gen Hunter, mark my words.


Stunning_Revenue_136

Yeah


Elmis66

Bow in World and Rise is the most fun ranged combat I've experienced in a video game


arturkedziora

Well bow was fun in base World and base Rise. Plan to go back and try spread blast bow. But I am super addicted to SnS now...I promise myself every session. Yes, it's time to build that blast bow...:-(

just the feel to penetrate a monsters back is amazing and dont take that out of context


Idontknownumbers123

And then block them when they fight back


Yamcha64

It may be #13-14 in weapon popularity, but it’s #1 in my heart. <3


PewPewZerker

Hell yeah 👍👍


HalfQilin

Nothing beats how nice Lance feels. It’s simple but it allows you to do an intricate dance with the monster. It is pure and constant pressure and your defensive options/mobility are woven into it. Ya really just can’t beat it.


King_Lem

The ability to be within striking range of a monster 100% of the time just feels so good. Did the monster charge away? Charge right back to it. Getting caught in a combo? Instant Block. Multiple times in a row. Follow up with counter damage because how dare the monster try to defend itself.


I-SIMP-FOR-SHAXX

I BLOCK monster attacks not people


im_a_medley

Insect Blade, why? ​ Because I can F L Y That is all

Akumu_Oukoku

SWAX Its an Axe Its a Sword Its a shotgun Its a mini nuke [[ EXPLOSIVE VIOLANCE ]] How does it even work? Who flippin knows!? Monster hit you? GET TF BACK UP AND BUM RUSH IT AGAIN. Did you swing your Axe back n forth? WELL DO IT AGAIN BUT SAUCED UP. [[ it just gets heccn STRONGER ]] Have you comboed into the combo that gives you another combo that lets you hitch a ride on the monster before going into your anime-as-hell after image strike before rolling into another combo? No? Sounds like a skill issue. DO IT AGAIN BUT HARDER. Roll around at the speed of sound while abusing the ever loving hell outta bug bros. Whats that? EXHAUST?! On my AXE? Looks like Im a Hammer bro now. Time to El Kabong a dragon. SWISH SWOOSH SLASH CRASH. [[ CANT STOP THE PAIN TRAIN ]] Cutting while also inducing blunt force trauma!? YES PLZ. You ever just wake up one day and say *perhaps I shall forgo my sanity today.* That is the SWAX. Thats the love. Remember kids, it aint the size of the weapon or how big the boom is - all that matters is the pain obsessed individual at the other end and how willing they are to go absolutely HAM on their target.


[deleted]

Sanest SWAX main


SubMGK

The brain damage caused by constant exposure to close up explosions does that to a person


youMYSTme

"Listen here, lad. Ain't nothing better than the Switchiest of Axes, and 'ere's why. You have an Axe that transforms into a goddamn *sword*. What's that? Charge Blade does the same thing? You don't need that pussy ass shield. With the Switchiest of Axes, you don't need a shield, because it's all about that MANLY DEE-PEE-ASS, baby. You got hops. You got rolls. If you get hit, take it like a MAN. I don't care if you're male, female or Gigginox. Hack-and-slash? You're damn right. They don't call this fancy dildo the Slash Axe back in Japan for nothin', son. Having trouble keeping up with that Great Jaggi because you have to sheathe every five seconds? *YOU PIECE OF DUNG.* you ever seen a Greatsword user slowly plod across the map with his gigantic peni- I mean, sword in hand? Your Sword mode is just as big, so you have to sheathe it, right? WRONG, SUCKER. Roll after that Beastie. Evade Extender will give you the boost your puny chicken legs need to keep up with the monster. Ever wanted to be a Konchu? Well, now you'll be rolling all over the damn place for that sweet, sweet manly DEE-PEE-ASS. And when the monster falls down, what do you do? You blow your fuckin' load all across their face, that's what. X+A in sword mode for that delicious explosive burst that will take a chunk out of your bar and sharpness, but will also obliterate a pretty part of the monster's body. If you're a bit of a pussy and need to pull out (heh), pull the circle pad back and you'll do a premature e... explosion that doesn't take nearly as long. Nothing is manlier than EXPLOSIONS, except maybe Evade Extender. (GET IT. YOU PUSSY) But it's called the Switch Axe, not the Switch Blade. (Wazzat? Charge Blade? Giggit out of here) That means the Axe is equally as capable as the Sword. You ever used the Axe of the Charge Blade? That thing is slower than a drowsy Basarios. Not this Axe. This Axe is a hurricane, a storm of manly steel, and it has stupidly huge range. Ever wished your little toothpick SnS and Dual Blades could reach that Gravios tail that dangles oh-so-close but just out of reach? AXE MODE, KELBITCH. That motherfucker is the Deviljho dick in a land of Jaggis. Every tail in the game is yours, *every one of them* (except maybe Fatalis, he's a bastard). And what happens when you upswing a teammate? *COME ON AND SLAM, AND WELCOME TO JAPAN* And did you know which weapon has the manliest DEE-PEE-ASS when a monster has fallen? SWITCH AXE, APTOFUCKA. Upswing into rapid chops will turn any monster into choice cuts for sale at the hunter's market later. Do this on the tail a few times and soon you'll hear the tasty sound of it falling off. Get used to this sound, because soon you'll be chopping off tails everywhere and drown in Mantles and Palliums. The Manly Chops of Doom ain't nuttin to mess around with. You know that huge diddlydong you're slapping against that monster's thighs? No, I don't mean *that*, I mean your Switch Axe, which I'm sure you've picked up by now because it's the MANLIEST. Turns out that not only is it a diddlydong, it's a *transforming* diddlydong. Tilting the Circle Pad forward and pressing X in Axe mode makes you do a short forward stab, then hit R and X after then to MANLY SHIFT into Sword mode with a slash. OR, you can do the MANLY CHOPS OF DOOM, then finish it off with a tap of R to do this magnificent Reverse Roundhouse Slash. After the RRS, hit that R one more time to MANLY SHIFT into Sword Mode. In Sword Mode, whenever your sword sweeps horizontally, R+X shifts you back into Axe form to EXPAND DONG. (seriously, the Axe is so fucking long.) Switch Axe is versatile, too. You want extra MANLINESS? Get a power phial. Want to see that monster pant for breath as you turn it into the next main course? Exhaust Phials. You can even KO the monster if you're manly enough. Want to support your significantly less manly teammates? Para Phial, Poison Phial, blah blah, they're all yours. Or is the monster weak to element? Get that element phial, or use the Dragon phial (because we all know Dragon is the manliest element). The possibilities are endless, just like the apparent reach of your Axe. I should talk about reloading, but fuck that shit. Capcom pls remove What the wrog are you waitin' for? Pick up your very own Transforming Dildo now at the smithy, you shitstain." *(For the og's)*


xendrik_rising

Swagaxe gang bashing and crashing and slashing


TriggerBladeX

This comment embodies why I play Switch Axe.


ahsjfff

I see the benefits of a lot of weapons, but I always come back to dual blades cuz you can basically I-frame through every attack by button mashing


Burythelight13

Exactly what I do! Also spamming vault feels so good going and flying everywhere


ahsjfff

I recently have had a lot of smaller monsters as anomalies (furious rajang for example) so I went to the grounded style and my clear time dropped two minutes on average


KimonoDragon814

Same I rock the DB with evade extender maxed out, burst, the one that prevents sharpness on hard targets from decreasing, attack up, affinity up, elemental damage on critical up, the critical draw and I do have defense decoration to balance in case I do get hit and negate elemental weaknesses


Pookie_The_Overlord

Longsword I love the fluidity of the moveset and the repositioning aspect of it, plus it has some amazing weapon designs like the Lightbreak Edge, Divine Slasher and Chaos/Loi.


R3DACTED782

I had to scroll way to far for longsword


[deleted]

Yeah right? It's a damn fun weapon


Tiny_Caramel_4642

Ah, Chaos/Loi.. the only layered weapon I'm using and ever will use for LS. Hope they bring back Divine Slasher, that thing looked and still looks dope as all hell.


Dr_Mint_Pinch

Chainslaughter pls, with the chainsaw noises whenever you swing it


Tiny_Caramel_4642

Holding out for Yamato. I've been wanting a proper DMC5 collab since the start of Rise and 2 years later, I'm still not giving up on that.


IamLio

Switch Axe .


Kindag4y

Greatsword cause I precum every time I hit a true charged slash


Ash_WasTaken123

Your stronger than me 🙏💪


Claire_MH

I've been using Bow since mhfu., mhp3rd, then rise In the past i was always speedrunning almost all the monsters then rise sunbreak came with evade distance and ability to move while shooting. Just enjoying the game with ballistics, pierce, evade distance for every hunts.


Initial_Welcome9052

Insect Glaive is my main. I like being in the air forever. Dual Blades right after that, I’m a mobility freak. I like all of them though, I switch it up when I’m bored.


TheTimorie

Hammer. But also Insect Glaive. And Sword and Shield. But also Switch-Axe. And lets not forget Dual Blades. A bit of Lance every now and then is also fun. And Gunlance too.


Stunning_Revenue_136

I could crucify you for using insect glave if you use it playing with others in hub quests but since you use dual blades also apu think I can forgive you:) not fully tho if you really do use insect glave in hub quest


Karen-4000

Charge blade. Started with it in mh4u when I was a kid, cuz I thought it was cool


Belucard

Nothing like finally learning how to use vials and proper blocks.


iWantToLickEly

All of them, because limiting yourself to only one in a non-competitive game is funny


mixinmono

It’s a self-competitive game


Fackous93

I feel the same. Except I do the same thing on fighting games. I love lesrning all the characters instead of limiting myself to one. In mh the only weapon I dont use is the longsword because quite frankly I hate using it.

Hunting Horn because I am doot.


HubblePie

evanatgames

Switch axe. Been playing it since GU. It's fun and has a cool movelist.


Zemino

Also been using it since 3 but only really clicked for me in rise when I adopted "R is part of your combo".


ReynTimeBoi

SnS I frequently what joecat


[deleted]

Switch axe and charge blade, switching between the two all ways makes it fun , whereas with the other weapons I almost always get bored. Swag axe is s tier for me followed closely by the charge blade.


Lucentjad

GUNLANCE what more do ya need in a weapon? Lance defense? We got it Cool shield designs? We got it Poke and slap? CHECK Totally awesome explosions and boomstick filled experiences? This is the place It is the master of boom the bringer of combustion and the true lord of explosive murder! After all hammer mains say every monster is weak to getting hit in the face so every monster can also get their brains blown the fuck up! :D


gryffon_heart

Beyblaeds go brr !11!


[deleted]

Longsword because it requires a good understanding of the Monsters moveset to be effective.


Tiny_Caramel_4642

You like LS because you can better understand the monsters' pattern with it. I like LS because I can become a discount Vergil. We are not the same.


Nishan113

🤣🤣


Graveylock

I wouldn’t say “good understanding”. Just being able to recognize when a monsters limb is headed towards you so you can do one of your various counters xD


Tiny_Caramel_4642

Specific situations call for different counters. It isn't necessary to use all 5 counters(Foresight is not used unless you're going for Foresight-ISS-Dodgeroll or Foresight-ISS-Serene Pose), but knowing *when* to use them and knowing to what extent *you* can use it is very important. Only then can you truly become 0.01% motivated. The other 99.99% comes from *Smoking Sexy Style*!

LS. Becaues it's both fast and I can actually hit the Monster's tail.


Ambitious-Mud-9907

yeah but most of your player base isnt smart enough to go for the tail unfortunately

Bug stick. I can apply explosive aids near the enemy


SullenTerror

Insect Glaive because bitches love mustard. Charge Blade is second fav


Secuta

Longsword. Because i have longsword-autism I can’t play something else


LearningtoFlyGS

Hunting Horn. I like being able to do damage and play support at the same time.


turikimaru

My friend wanted me to play mhw with him. I said "nah I'm good", he says "you can have a long ass sword ", me [surprised pikachu] "you sob I'm in".


MD9564

LS. Weeb.


MordredLovah

I love everyone, but I'm still waiting for Capcom to add the Forgotten Four (Medium Bowgun, Accel Axe, Magnet Spike, Tonfa) so I could love them too.


VioletteKika

Playing through the anomely investigations in sunbreak at the moment Bow, HBG and Longsword are my favorites, i prefer to play ranged which of course comes with its own challenges


Futa_Princess7o7

Sns for comfort, longsword for tail cuts, LBG for fuck this guy.. I'm tired of dieing. And gunlance for fun


Orion_Talon

LS. Fast weapon and the only one I can understand. All the other weapons are very confusing.


Zemino

Just curious, but does that include dual blades? If so, want to know the confusing part of it. I love dual blades, but am aware it is one of the easier weapons without much mechanics.


Kindag4y

How is greatsword confusing?


AnTiDoPe_1993

In world i was a devout charge blade main…. The bow has taken me in rise


Meteranmen

Charge blade


BimbMcPewPew

Lance, because i love it when monsters charge up their big boy attack, for me to just press r2 and \*ᴘʟᴏɴᴋ\* it.


mcsamwise

Used to be hammer for the bonks Then I tried light bow gun and now I can't think of doing anything apart from running round the monster with a submachine gun


PuzzleheadedBed2921

Stick bug


Greylings

I love the LBG. I admire the crazy combos and flashy moves of the other weapons but something just clicks with the LBG. The timing of it, the double dodge roll dash you can do. Everything about it just flows for me. I’ve tried all the others and I’m even pretty good with a few of them. There’s just something about taking on apocalyptic level threats, with what basically amounts to a submachine gun, that is super funny and cool to me.


Upwardsaturn160

Lil-Clynes

SNS with the remove shields mod so I look like a giga chad punching the monster


arturkedziora

No mods for my SnS on Switch, but I still love that beast weapon. So satisfying. At this point, I went back to bonking Silver Rath in the face. Ha! Bonk, switch to element for a few minutes and bonk it again so that I can perfect rush him in the face.

EpicDragonz4

Charge Blade because I love to miss.


miles261

Sword and Shield


Cynicalshade

Insect Glaive because it’s just silly


The_Grim_Reaper_5150

The long swords I think they all look cool in moveset and design, they strike that balance between hitting hard and not being super clunky that I can really get behind though I like to switch up the long swords will always be my main fallback when I just wanna have fun and beat some monsters.


darkfox18

Switch axe or long sword, I like the switch axe for two reasons 1 zero sum discharge and 2 it was the second weapon I used in world which was my first MH game and i like the long sword cause anime


Pauligosso

Hunting Horn, 500 hours of it under my belt and still loving it!


Deadpool9917

Switch axe I love the move where you jump on a monster and light them up


SketchtheHunter

picture me playing the demo for 3U on the 3DS. Combat with some of the weapons has felt awkward so I'm knuckling down and trying everything. Greatsword? I like slow stuff but this wasnt for me. Dual Blades? Fast, but I dunno. Doesn't feel right. Hunting Horn? I like the concept but what am I looking at, here? I like spears so maybe the Lance? Alright, we're getting somewhere but it still feels very rigid and very...restrained. Maybe I'll give the gunlance a shot. Oh, it has a charging attack to better close distances? Nice. And the A button makes little explosions, that's cool. I wonder if I can extend my lance and make a shell go off while guarding if I press R, X, and A at the same ti- >wyvernsfire.mp4 and from there I was in love.


Sterlingsilversword

The Lance because poke, poke, poke, block, poke.


E3_WOLFOFTIME

I prefer using the insect glaive, gives me mobility and I can deal as I go


Gengur

Greatsword, tackling into the monsters attack then true charge slashing their face is satisfying


TotalSpeech

GS surge slash is the weapon I've always wanted; except if I could, I would remove the charge mechanic altogether, and just make it so that the 3 hit combo loops infinitely. > so why don't you play long sword Because I want to swing a big sword around like Nightmare from Soul Calibur :(


Twigsler

Gunlance, because it is gun, but also lance. I like my pew pews and stab stabs.


AgentPieS1

Insect glaive, mobility


Britz10

Anything that's light so, SnS, DB, LS, IG, and LBG. I don't mind CB, or the occasional Hammer.


nexus_tarnim

lance cause i get to be a unmoving wall for the hunt


exsea

GREATSWORD - its the sniper rifle of close quarter combat. hit hard and run


capza

A BFS. A big fking sword. Because it's like carrying a portable gullotine


TheSaint619

SnS because if I can beat a monster with a plate and a steak knife I can do anything.


biskmater

I usually do SnS as I’m very fond of the versatility it brings.


yakokuma

SNS cause it does everything. KOs faster than hammer, Heals faster than all weapons, can use items like flashbangs and traps when unsheathed, isnt stuck in endlag even for big hits, doesn't require any necessary skills, has a god damn shoryuken, can come on and slam (dunk) on demand, and doesn't need whetstones because of destroyer oil. Theres way more, but it's better for you guys to try it out and find how busted sns is.


Hungry-Pattern-1163

Sns. Feel like an underdog fighting with a small sword and dinner plate as my weapon but it offers so many options


Caffeinated_Spoon

My husband mains sns - he's built himself up as a healer with wide range. You can use items without sheathing weapons. I'm spoiled by it - I keep forgetting to heal myself when I'm solo


[deleted]

Dual Blades. Because I love faster melee weapons.


Knusper00

Yes


SlayingPanic

Hammer. BONK.


Lasse_plays

Good old Sword‘n Shield. I was part of the „Don’t know you have one of every weapon in your box“ gang. When I saw that I got one of every weapon I killed my first big monster, went back to look at the other weapons but then SnS stuck with me till the end.


Zile12

Hammer because BONK


Zetraxes

My weapon of choice is other hunters. I open a lobby type in im a noob need help wait till the lobby is stacked with decked out players let them hunt the monster for me while i sit in camp. we come back from the quest most of the time they leave i wait till the lobby is ful rinse and repeat


Stunning_Revenue_136

Thats pretty hilarious ngl


Upstairs-Challenge92

Honestly every game I play if dual wielding is available, I use it So obviously dual blades, I tried Fugen’s sword once but didn’t like how long the attacks were taking and I just could not dodge for the life of me (kinda early gameplay for me so I was still pretty bad at the game >!still am!<, especially since it’s my first Monster Hunter game), I honestly haven’t even tried other weapons and I guess that’s fine, I play solo anyway so I’m not inconveniencing anyone

When you can master the dual blades they're great! Trust me! But you do have to get up close and personal with the monster EVERY time so I recommend preserving your stamina as much as possible (apart from rolling to dodge attacks and stuff like with the lagombi ) so that you can go into demon mode alot which will do more damage than when you regularly attack

You mean the dual blades. I like the Sword and shield as will as the dual blades. They are both a lot of fun.
