Honestly yeah,ive played most of monster hunter alone or with randoms who i never saw again,but when i play with my brother and his friends in the game or find some hunters too join every now and then,its was way funner then without.
so true they went insect able to fly for a long time is really bad, let's remove it the highest stun move? lets make it slower to use and less stun atlest it seemed like the weakpoint moves it gained were really strong
@@EricBlanchBrines they also heavily nerfed the charge blade. And in sunbreak, they also heavily nerfed the Long Sword while making the Great Sword the new Long Sword (by giving Great Sword the strongest counter and second strongest move in all of MH) and making gunner even more broken. But if we were to talk about the biggest nerf, it has to be prowler between MHGen and MHGU. They destroyed it, for no valid reason.
@@alathreon8315 they nerfed prowler hard because low quality "clickbait" youtubers would make videos or streams claiming how "prowler is op" during the mhgen days,the community also did it a lot.

Man i really miss the old school skill system. I know it’s super dated now but that feeling of having the skills you want active while also counter slotting decorations so you wouldn’t have the negative skills active was one of my favorite parts of old school monster hunter games.
I think it's unfair in 4U to not talk about the Insect Glaive. Because yes, the gravios HBG is the strongest, but only in multiplayer with a very specific team composition. Outside of this, Insect Glaive is better.
@@spiff7575there was an increasing mounting threshold, but it was a slow increase which made mounting consistently rather easy even late into the hunt
@@spiff7575 InsectGlaive wasn't broken just because of that, but also because it was the srongest weapon outside of this very specific HBG strategy and I guess perfect relic GS.
@@alathreon8315 I agree. IG and CB were very powerful in 4U with GS. But the IG was more polyvalent for all monsters. Bounding Dalamadur was so amazing

Yeah to head lock pretty much all monsters in the first game I think the lance just needed above 300 attack. Then stab stab stab back jump repeat until win.
Some additional additions/corrections: (an expansion of the comment from @CanadianAdim) MHG: 1:39 Keep in mind that is G Wii, which had had different balancing than the original Monster Hunter G MH2: As mentioned, Eternal Schisms is in contention alongside Hammer (across the board) for Dos's strongest weapon, but I believe it can be outpaced by White Fatalis's Bow (specifically because of Charge Level 2 and 3) on most Dragon weak matchups. Dos also had an the 1.5 mod for White sharpness and Adrenaline. A few weapons could make use of both, but it is stronger than it is F2. MHF2/MHP2: 4:40 Speed Fire is not Rapid Up, it is the predecessor/equivalent to Auto Reload, and causes bows to charge faster like Focus. MH3: Clust should be out damaged in most matchups and in solo/duo isn't really viable to fully bank on as you will run out. It's also not an exception to the games that came before. Also, purple sharpness is a 1.5 mod in Tri, because it is a sequel to Dos / Freedom Unite, who's max sharpness has the same mod. MHWI: The Snowman Glitch should have at least been mentioned.
@Kostie100 with gunlance you can setup large barrel bombs and the snowmans (that was given during a Christmas event) if you do a gunlance stake through the bombs/snowman the stake hits do bombs damage so you can do easily 5000-10000 damage per stake.
Since, MHP3rd is missing MHP3rd had Bamboo gunlance with biggest artillery damange which where you can use Auto guard glitch with to mow down monsters with zero effort similar to the MH3G’s kelbi bow. Also Devil jho’s LBG rapidfire dragon shot was ridiculously strong, it could down High Rank Uragaan just under 2mins solo with no speedrun training.
MH1JP and NA strongest weapon was the Black Dragon Spear MHF1 all Sword and Shields are busted with a 1.5 sharpness modifier being given to them that stacks with their weapon sharpness (White sharpness is a 1.3 mod) MH2 added the 4 new weapon types of Longsword, Gunlance, Hunting Horn, and Bow. MH2's strongest weapon is a few things Eternal Schisms are incredibly powerful against Elder Dragons, and Hammer overall is very very strong, Clust gunning is also very strong allowing sub 5 minute White Fatails runs. MHP2G/FU did not introduce Auto-Reload, that skill was introduced in MHG
@@CanadianAdim One of the comments below also mentions the Auto Guard Shelling Gunlance glitch, which is equivalent to MHGU Valor LS but if the s were closer to fade slash in World lol
Bow was just as strong as DB's in Sunbreak if not stronger. The Berserk/Strife set on bow gave the weapon infinite stamina, insane raw and element, and made the normally squishy bow player invincible. Bow also had the power shot animation cancel that allowed the weapon to shoot off two volleys after every dash. And bow's damage wasn't locked behind wirebugs like DB's which relied on spamming Spiral Thrust.
Glad to see that almost every monster hunter content creator favorite MH is 3 tri just like me, but I introduced MH to my friends with World and so I can't explain to them why we need aquatic combat back 😭 It's just the vibe, the freedom, the music... Hope to see a MH7 in Moga islands or some new archipelago... But I hope someday we will get a reboot or a PC launch of legacy games...
To me who is a gen 5 newcomer this is really interesting, in world everyone would say LS was undoubtedly the best weapon taking everything in account, but others like bow and hbg were absolute beasts in terms of dmg
I remember one of the most broken class in 4U is the charge blade. Set up properly, you get easy KOs, be almost untouchable with most monsters using guard points, and BIG BIG damage. I remember my hammer using friend being very salty that I got all the KOs.
Thank you. Great video. I finished all Monter hunter games except Iceborn. It's definitely to hard for me. I used dual swords but Monster are insane lot of HP. Now I try Heavy Bowgun 😤
Honorable mention should be: -MonHun Portable/Freedom with Sword and Shield Got it's damage increased by 50% cuz back in og Japanese MH1, MHG and the international MH1 release, SnS was very underpowered. Only ever carried by element alone. So, together with nerfing Lance, they buffed SnS by an outrageous amount. So much that 2 quick slashes of the strongest SnS were stronger than the unsheath attack of the strongest GS in the game. Yes, the range is still an issue, but, if you know your way around it, SnS is the most powerful weapon in MHF.
Gen 1; the only time Lance users were feasting like kings. but i say they're eating well in Wilds. i say this because, since one of my sets is going to be called "Knight", my secondary weapon will be the Lance (primary being my main, the SnS) - and i've used it a few times in Iceborne and Sunbreak, and it was a fun time.
A slight correction. In GU the attack difference between daora and zin HBG was minimal. Daora in practice only got around 1 extra damage a pierce shot, while zin got slightly better slicing ammo damage (which you use to charge valor), that more or less made up for the slight damage loss. Because of this, zin was almost always taken over daora, unless you already have 1-2 zin guns on a team. This ironically makes it even more OP, cause imagine all the crazy things valor pierce can give, and now it just can get a free para too with the siege para 2 shots.
@@jacktheomnithere2127 i feel like sns in GU is def op but that game has stuff that's like even more stupidly op so ig it's all kinda relative haha. def an op version of sns but not on the level of the truly overtuned shit in that game imo
Why is it that op? Maybe I'm using it wrong, but I've had a better experience with the Greatsword even though it's not nearly as good as it is in newer generations.
@@jacktheomnithere2127 Yes and no, it has high potential but compared to other options like Valor LS, Valor GS, and especially Valor HBG, it's kind of meh-- especially on monsters like Fatalis or Nakarkos who are unaffected by most of the boons of Chaos Oil. The usual 5-attack combo most speedrunners use deals about 80 mv on top of 5 elem hits, which pales in comparison to a lv 3 Valor Draw at 115 mv.
@@jacktheomnithere2127 No because its competing with HBG in that game. In Freedom 1 SnS motion values were that broken that one combo was better than 2 and a half from GS.
I used to avoid playing range weapons especially the bowguns, but Wilds seems to be making it more fun to try. Might be the first MH that I'll enjoy using them
I miss Valor man... LS and HBG as broken as they were, so damn fun with that style. No one will disagree being a Sekiro or Master Chief is massive fun in Generation.
Lance in mh1 was god tier. Particularly, the fatalis lance. Though I remember everyone called it headlocking. You had to time the 3rd poke to get the headlock. Made farming rathalos plates a dream!
I would love to see a video about the most OP builds in Sunbreak for each Weapon. I forgot how broken those endgame skills were in Sunbreak. I’m going through Sunbreak for the 3rd time with a new group of friends and I forgot how to play my weapon efficiently with all the armor skills I had on. Something about having to hit the monster a certain amount of time to build some kind of meter. Lol
My Gunlance gameplay was to spam Bullet Barrage as much as possible. So Skills like intrepid heart gave me one free hit of invincibility every time time I land a certain number of hits. I think it was one Wyrmstake and Bullet Barrage or two Wyrmstakes and a FullBurst.
surprise for many generations gunner Being absolute monster annihilators but not a single community MH community nowadays talk about it until capcom touched LS then we got MH Drama about LS again.
Exactly. And for it to be even slightly close to the power of other weapons like bow, you have to always stay inside the goddamn circle and keep it up at the expense of your wirebugs, when you also need them for your counter switch skills. And if the monster decides to stay outside of the circle or not attack you because it's doing literally anything else, you'll have to stay there doing nothing while Harvest Moon runs out. And in the Berserk/Strife roasting section, he describes chugging max potions like it if it was freaking herbs he was talking about. Yes TDS, being immortal is fair because you still take knock back and have to constantly stop attacking to sheathe your weapon, switch scrolls, heal, switch scrolls back again, and then chase the monster because you've probably got very far away from it to be allowed to heal in peace.
The bowguns required a modicum of interest in range weapon, which a lot of people don't have. LS on the other hand, attracts the most players, so naturally it's gonna get the most hate. There's a reason why LS is the most popular weapon in almost every gen it's been in, yet not being the best weapon in many of them.
I played HBG in sunbreak. And I loved it. Sure, it was busted but almost every endgame monster had the potential to one shot. Which made spiritbugs kinda necessary to farm before any big fight :/ But I always felt like Sunbreak was a “Shoot’Em Up” as a gunner, dodge and counter big attacks while constantly shooting at the monsters. Pew pew!
And now, my question for 2 years: which is the strongest weapon (not type, weapon) in all history of monster hunter main series games? Which have the Highest damage (probably a MHRS weapon)?
Wasn’t the chernobog’s scythe one of the most op weapons in 4U? The high sharpness, 45% affinity, on top of sleep element meant every other second the monster was either stunned or sleeping?
I remember tri aleatreon kicking our teams arse like crazy. There were 3 of us, and we always got our butt kicked. Then one day a guy in our lobby asked to join, first time I learned of the power of sleep bombing.
Even though the Sunbreak Dual Blades were less cheesy than everything mentioned before them, they were still the only ones to get sarcastic commentary... Chat this is sus ain't it? 🧐
BDS in MH1 was one of if not the most used weapon in 5-6 star hunts. Lance was not the least used weapon IMO. That goes to the bowguns. I only saw those on Fatalis and Lao missions consistently
You skipped MHP3 in 3rd gen 😭 P3 has the overpowered bowguns where pellet automatically gathers on certain monster's head (very good against alatreon, amatsu, and zinogre) and elemental attack boost (alatreon armor skill) fully stacks with X element attack boost (specific elements), making elemental bowgun damage skyrocket.
I found a 2nd hand copy of MH1. I struggled SUUPER hard with Kut-Ku. I had no clue about the game what so ever due to my English not being as good as it is now and good lord, I was finally able to go online on the game at a friends house and we saw a player in some crazy black armor with a lance. Ofcourse it was Fatalis, happened to get in a Rathalos quest with one of those players and I was in awe when I saw that player headlock Rathalos. I Guess it was around 2007, because I remember the servers closing
Just wanted to share that this game you're being sponsored by (LIGHT OF MOTIRAM) actually looks really cool, nice job with the ad... oh, and the whole video of course, as always.
Can I ask what the source of the weapon usage stats at 0:34 for MH1jp is? I didn't even know this type of data was ever available anywhere, because it seems farfetched to me that the same Lance that had the Black Dragon Spear and could headlock monsters to death was somehow the least used type in that game.
Started at Freedom Unite and man I don't even know what I'm doing, my brother just let me play to get me occuppied. Used lunastra dual blades and fatalis armor just because it looks edgy and cool af. Good old Days 😂😂
Ah, I was so confused when you said Slashing in gen 5. I'm PC so I guess I never got to experience it. Anyways unless I'm deaf and just didn't hear it, I'm pretty shocked there was no mention of Spread/Shield mod HBG. The epitome of comfy braindead gameplay in Iceborne. I "learned" how to speedrun so many quests like the Seliana Teostra/Kushala hunts with spread HBG just to grind faster. I would finish those hunts in 2-3 minutes tops. I put quotes around "learned" because really after like 3-4 practice runs, you should have it down pretty consistently with spread HBG. It's just so strong and if you screw up, just aim at the monster and let the auto guard do it's thing. There's a few things I hope Wilds guts just because while they're fun to abuse, they're just unhealthy for the game imo and HBG with auto shield is one of them. I know it already has it in Wilds as a base kit feature now, but I hope you at least have to invest in it with skills to make it good or make you take more chip damage, just something.
Aww shame you didn't mention tge BOLAC in Gen, Kelbi 2.0. I think the Akantor HBG was another strong choice? Regardless, this was such a fun retrospect! Great video! Edit: I think it was Daora HBG. I gotta boot up the game again man
23:42 oh yeah i had one of those. I hunted with randos tho so they would usually not pay attention to the sleep proc and i ended up wishing i got a para gs instead. Never did tho...

But I always felt like Sunbreak was a “Shoot’Em Up” as a gunner, dodge and counter big attacks while constantly shooting at the monsters. Pew pew!
the best weapon is what you feel is the coolest sh*t design and u grind tf out of it doesn't matter how many times you slay the beast over and over.
I love this type of videos. It's so nostalgic
Light of motiram seems like a mix of monster hunter, horizon zero dawn, and ark survival
Capcom: *Released new feature
Developers: *nerf WanWan/Crystal Maiden
Came here for Awakened Kelbi Bow bullying monsters so hard it might be a warcrime.
Was not disappointed.
Greatsword, my beloved.
I think it’s good to say what is also the most broken after final patches
Heavy Bowgun? They're indeed uniting in freedom.
And now, my question for 2 years: which is the strongest weapon (not type, weapon) in all history of monster hunter main series games? Which have the Highest damage (probably a MHRS weapon)?
Wasn’t the chernobog’s scythe one of the most op weapons in 4U? The high sharpness, 45% affinity, on top of sleep element meant every other second the monster was either stunned or sleeping?
I remember tri aleatreon kicking our teams arse like crazy. There were 3 of us, and we always got our butt kicked.
Then one day a guy in our lobby asked to join, first time I learned of the power of sleep bombing.
Even though the Sunbreak Dual Blades were less cheesy than everything mentioned before them, they were still the only ones to get sarcastic commentary... Chat this is sus ain't it? 🧐
That Palw- I mean Motiram sure works fast, already sponsoring one of the most influential MonHun channel to advertise their game. LOL
Have you always been the Boss in TDS Chris? Have Played with you a few times when tri was new.
BDS in MH1 was one of if not the most used weapon in 5-6 star hunts.
Lance was not the least used weapon IMO. That goes to the bowguns. I only saw those on Fatalis and Lao missions consistently
I used lance for most headlockable content in mh1. When the online hub had "claw day" we would bust out the heavy bowgun and do fatalis runs!
Here's hoping Gunlance becomes one of the Better weapons in Wilds when that Drops I seen how great that performed from the Beta
MHR dual blade is me vibing my LIFE as a DB main and DB main only
All I remember:
MH3: blast kelbi bow
MH4: blast element insect glaive (crimson fatalis)
shit was op in my friend's circles
Slime was OP, I remember *_blasting_* my way through G Rank with Brachy's Hammer
I totally forgot how insanely broken slash ammo was because I never used it.
Ark had a baby with Horizon zero dawn. Bruh from me.
That ad transition was funny as all hell lmao
You skipped MHP3 in 3rd gen 😭
P3 has the overpowered bowguns where pellet automatically gathers on certain monster's head (very good against alatreon, amatsu, and zinogre) and elemental attack boost (alatreon armor skill) fully stacks with X element attack boost (specific elements), making elemental bowgun damage skyrocket.
so much nostalgia in one video
I found a 2nd hand copy of MH1. I struggled SUUPER hard with Kut-Ku. I had no clue about the game what so ever due to my English not being as good as it is now and good lord, I was finally able to go online on the game at a friends house and we saw a player in some crazy black armor with a lance. Ofcourse it was Fatalis, happened to get in a Rathalos quest with one of those players and I was in awe when I saw that player headlock Rathalos. I Guess it was around 2007, because I remember the servers closing
I can’t believe that horizon clone actually convinced yall to do a sponsor
I totally remember Clust Alatreon rooms in Tri, ah the good old days.
I remember my parents speedrunning Alatreon with said bowgun... That was the old time
i miss the underwater fights from MH3.
I hope they bring them back.
25:41 "Gotcha Beach!" 😂😂
now make one for each weapon, aint no dream like getting the best weapon in the game
Just wanted to share that this game you're being sponsored by (LIGHT OF MOTIRAM) actually looks really cool, nice job with the ad... oh, and the whole video of course, as always.
Can I ask what the source of the weapon usage stats at 0:34 for MH1jp is? I didn't even know this type of data was ever available anywhere, because it seems farfetched to me that the same Lance that had the Black Dragon Spear and could headlock monsters to death was somehow the least used type in that game.
I still play lance a lot because of the nostalgia of headlocking in the first game
I'm hoping gen 6 is the age of the gunlance because it went so hard in the beta.
LoM looks really good! But I have a feeling they're gonna get sued by someone
I pity anyone who haven't experience the majesty that is Valor HBG. No seriously, I pity the fool.
Started at Freedom Unite and man I don't even know what I'm doing, my brother just let me play to get me occuppied. Used lunastra dual blades and fatalis armor just because it looks edgy and cool af. Good old Days 😂😂
We are not talking about the Online games?
Ah, I was so confused when you said Slashing in gen 5. I'm PC so I guess I never got to experience it. Anyways unless I'm deaf and just didn't hear it, I'm pretty shocked there was no mention of Spread/Shield mod HBG. The epitome of comfy braindead gameplay in Iceborne. I "learned" how to speedrun so many quests like the Seliana Teostra/Kushala hunts with spread HBG just to grind faster. I would finish those hunts in 2-3 minutes tops. I put quotes around "learned" because really after like 3-4 practice runs, you should have it down pretty consistently with spread HBG. It's just so strong and if you screw up, just aim at the monster and let the auto guard do it's thing. There's a few things I hope Wilds guts just because while they're fun to abuse, they're just unhealthy for the game imo and HBG with auto shield is one of them. I know it already has it in Wilds as a base kit feature now, but I hope you at least have to invest in it with skills to make it good or make you take more chip damage, just something.
Aww shame you didn't mention tge BOLAC in Gen, Kelbi 2.0. I think the Akantor HBG was another strong choice? Regardless, this was such a fun retrospect! Great video!
Edit: I think it was Daora HBG. I gotta boot up the game again man
23:42 oh yeah i had one of those. I hunted with randos tho so they would usually not pay attention to the sleep proc and i ended up wishing i got a para gs instead. Never did tho...
1:54 that rathian....that poor rathian....
"lOnGsWoRd Is So BrOkEn, CaPcOm NeRf PlZ"
MHTri was so good.. I have many memories
Valor HBG/LS is by far the most broken thing in MH history
great video but I'm sad you didn't talk about the bounding dalamadur, insect glaive was really good but this thing had insane stat
the sponsor looks like the game horizone got told not to worry about xD
shoutout to magnet spike
i like when they nerf the OP because it destroys the game. world & rise still have god mode builds.
Guys did you know that when capcom makes a new feature its op?
Im a speedrunner, i can confirm dual blades is busted in sunbreak
I used slicing with the nergigante light bow gun even after the nerf.
Mfw when Longsword isn’t the most busted thing in Rise: 😨
Cool video, thank you!
monster hunter in a nut shell : capcom tends to make new things strong,
Remember gush crab lance in sunbreak?
Linus can count confirmed
I was wondering when King Attilart Sword was gonna show up, whose idea was it to make crit draw be 100% chance to crit?
Shout-out grongigas. Best hammer I ever did saw
