*skips to my weapon to pretend that it's the best weapon for me*
Found ya
Lol same
exposed
Does it not therefore become the best weapon for you since you learn more about it than the others? 🤔
That’s exactly what I came here to do when I saw the video 😂😂😂😂
I've never played Monster Hunter but the Hunting Horn looks like what would happen if a near sighted bard confused a massive fucking hammer for a musical instrument.
Pretty accurate actually
Thought you said you never played before...

@@jonvongsouvanh lol that was short lived
Thank you
I do this thing in MH games that every time i start a game i choose a new weapon to start with, but later i tend to go back to my beloved Swaxe
i do the same but with Gunlance
It's good to learn new weapons so you have something to fall back on if you start getting tired of the same weapon.
Lol, I feel like I’m the opposite of you. Swaxe was my first main back in 3U, and I usually start playing a new MH with it. But then I’ll change to something else.
Switch axe for the win I've been using nothing but swag axe for the past 5 years
I do the same but with Great Sword
The way you display all the weapons makes me wanna play all of them 😂
So......do that yo lol
@@jakemoore5077 😂 big facts
I usually main one, and have a back-up, so for instance MHW I was a Lance main, but used Hammer as my backup, of course I used all the weapons but these two were my go to. Now in MHR I want to main either HBG or SA, and have either of those as my back up lol sorry for the long ass paragraph
I main every weapon so not a problem for me
Welcome to the super small and unique club :)
My tip to aspiring Jack of all trade master of many, is aim to complete 100 hunts for every weapon, after you "completed" the game. Because by then, you have decent understanding of all monster moves and will have a better time trying out new weapons.
Hunting Horn mains, I call forth thee!
**toots the horn of the hunt**
I think everyone owes it to themselves to try HH this time around. It really feels different.

Actually it's gis other persona JoCrap that's like that.

@@asbjrnlarsen2842 ... You mean you pay money so that you don't have to play a game you paid money for?
@@TheNefariousPenguin lmao that sounds so sad
If you're new to monster hunter, pick up a weapon that looks cool, give it a try, check out a weapon guide to see if you're missing something fundamental to that weapon. Have fun.
"If you like hitting things with a hammer, the hammer is for you"
One note I'd add to differentiate the Gunlance and Lance is speed. At first glance Lance and Gunlance can look like the "Daniel vs The Cooler Daniel" meme, but the reality is that they're two opposites of a coin.
The lance is fast and constantly aggro - chaining that three hit combo over, and over, and over, always hopping between combos, mixing in the counters. It is a non-stop flurry that keeps on going. The gunlance, on the other hand, is slow, meticulous, but hits like a truck. The lance is like the defensive duelist, light on its feet, quick, agile, always in your feet, while the gunlance is the knight in full plate, slower, more patient, heavier.
So while they might seem similar in that they're both big shield weapons, in reality they'll behave much differently, so if you're looking to pick up one of those tank weapons, consider wether you normally gravitate to the fast paced weapons, or the slow, heavier hitting ones.
Ichinose said the SnS got so complex over time that now the beginner's weapon is actually the Longsword
Oils are gone now. So it's not as complex as it was. Besides, you can't throw a Kunai without hitting a Long sword user in these games. So in theory it's better to be diverse.
@@probablynotasith5355 is it because of Spin to Win wire bug?
I struggled with the Charge Blade in World for so long, but the day it clicked for me was life changing. One of the most rewarding videogame experiences I've had. In the words of Dr. Manhattan:
"It is January 20th, 2019. I feel fear for the last time."
Can't wait to poke, poke, poke, hop into Rise.
hello fellow lance brother
Pity that we slap poke slap hop now
@@mot6376 not really a pity, some variety is always welcome, and pokes are still strong

The hype is just real. 7 more hours for me... Have fun m8!
@@manuelbranco8299 I ordered a physical from Amazon with release day shipping but now its coming Monday. I am so sad about it
Right? I still don't know what I want to use. Used the glaive since 4 ultimate, wanna try something new

@@Zach-wu8vz oh my god.. I feel so sorry for you. Luckily I purchased the digital version. What about ordering digital and refunding the physical copy?
Charge Blade mains, LETS TAKE TO THE SKYS!
*Aerial SAED*
Too bad i didnt like the game otherwise i be there. Still on world/iceborne.
CB best Weapon, 5k uses in MHWI :D
Charge Blade is the best. Strong offense, strong defense, amazing ability to deal status effect and elemental damage. It's perfect.
That said, It's hard to ignore how much fun it it to fly around the map with wirebugs + Insect Glaive. Oh well, everyone could use a secondary weapon type to excel at...
the swiss army knife weapon
@@Renkinjutsushi "Oh well, everyone could use a secondary weapon type to excel at"
HEATHEN!!!!
Your're out of the Charge Blade Gang.
Hand in your badge and gun.
I'll second your review of the Switch Axe. My first MH was World, and I used the Switch Axe before realizing it was generally considered a more "complicated" weapon. That said, it's really only as complicated as you want it to be. It remains quite viable even if you keep it in axe mode almost all the time. Then if you're feeling adventurous, dip your toe into some sword action. That's the main reason why I never even tried any other weapons in World - I was having too much fun with the Switch Axe.
But my toe..
The switch axe become the weapon I’ve mostly used once I made it to endgame gear.
The reach on the axe is no joke. The side hopping I use a lot
I’ve been a bow main all my life, dabbled with Insect Glaive and Charge Blade a bit, but Bow is still 90% of my play time.
MH Rise is the first MH I’ve played where I had this desire to use almost every weapon. The new mechanics and wirebug moves adds such a layer of gameplay that’s just... ugh. Phenomenal.
It’s amazing how Capcom, not only make 14 incredibly distinct weapons, but adding the witebug to compliment everyone’s style of play too.
Other way around for me, though this was a problem in World too. I always played every weapon but starting in World most of the weapons felt bad to use, and they just threw out what a lot of weapons (bow included) used to be. Meanwhile (especially in the context of how different everything used to feel) most weapons feel the same now too (ie it's all slow stationary burst damage that you spam but with arbitrarily good mobility when not attacking, so for instance if you look at both objectively DB is just GS with bad reach and sharpness problems). Really sad.
I was initially all about the big heavy weapons. I really felt I got the timing down with Great Sword, sprint around, and attack - then I switched to Dual Blade and now I feel like an upgraded true monster hunting beast. Paired with some boosts it’s absolutely just pure fun.
Altought I'm a huge fan of the Dual Blades, I usually try to adapt my game depending on which weapon my teammates use, in order to be more versatile for the hunt ! Plus, I feel like some weapons are sometimes more useful against certain monsters you face
What i got from this video is that now i want to play all 14 weapons :|
Cheers bro! Can't wait to play this tomorrow. I got the new switch rise bundle. I think this time I'm gonna switch it up with weapons. Get a decent feel to all of them 👌
I just started playing yesterday and am new to the series. I have been experimenting with a lot of theses and have been enjoying the hunting horn. I need to continue practicing, it’s a steep initial learning curve, but so fun.
Arekkz: "Dual Blades turn you into a ninja"
Me: *laughs in insect glaive*
sry for necropost, but @0:36 he says "every weapon is viable, every weapon is great in its own way..." while showing IG. 😤
Switchaxe is my choice. Especially for the Silk Move what has good damage, can pose through anything, and have a very short recovery time.
Will there be any weapon workshop videos? I've always loved those
7:10
That fish be like: Get down Mr. President
He sacrificed his body for the greater good of humanity 🤣
*spongeanity
Wow I was searching this exactly video and it comes to me 😂
I love the sweet sound when cracking the monsters face
So I fully wasn't expecting this to be the case as a Great Sword main, and tbh when I get to try out all the customization options I think it'll probably change back, but at least as far as the Demo it's GOT to be the SwagAxe. It just feels sooooo rewarding to use.
Bro, seeing aerial style dual blades makes me unreasonably happy
Agreed! Element aerial dual blades
Gonna carve limb to limb.
That ground to air beyblade is going to look like some insane dps
@@theLanceInPants especially if we can still use piercing bind with it, on top on element damage..Bruh... DB reigns as king
Definitely something I'll be picking up!
Everybody gets aerial. Rip insect glave...
Never heard such a quick and nice summary of the weapon types tbh :o
Happy to get this guide I just started playing and idk which way I'm going yet even though I tried everything in the demo !
The Silkbind things are too faffy for my old hands, so I have been having fun using the Heavy Bowgun. I can manage the counterattack, and other than that just work on keeping a good distance the old fashioned way rather than flying around everywhere.
I do keep accidentally loading Wyvernsnipe at inopportune moments, such as when trying to mount, but that is just a matter of remembering.
I've always used either the Great Sword or Long Sword but upon trying each weapon in Rise, everything feels so satisfying to use. Right now I am using Heavy Bowgun and Dual Swords which i barely touched in the past games.
Can't wait for the weapons tutorial
Thanks, helped a lot for which one to try first
Arekkz, Team Darkside, and many others are teasing me. Can't wait... can't wait
Charge Blade mains rise up! I finally learned the weapon in world and I don't plan on losing that muscle memory lol.
I picked it up and it felt like we were meant to be lmao
I struggled with it in World for so long, but the day it clicked for me was life changing. One of the most rewarding videogame experiences I've had. In the words of Dr. Manhattan:
"It is January 20th, 2019. I feel fear for the last time."
Just when i say to myself "okay. Ima get off UA-cam looking for info." Boom. Here comes alex lol
Omfg thank you!! Sending this to my friends who are starting with rise!!
CANT WAIT FOR MIX SET MONDAYS AREKKZ!!!!
I’ve always been a Longsword main but this time imma go Great! 🗡
That's Great ;)
Don't you dare betray the weebu's for that chad monstrosity
Some of my favorites across the series have been Charge Blade and Long Sword. However, after the demo, I'm debating if I should pick up Hunting Horn.
Really like the new Zinogre charging effects, the fulgurbugs are so prominent
Man, still so many questions, can't wait for tomorrow!
Probably the one you were best at in MHW. With that being said, WHERE MY LONGSWORD MAINS AT!?!?
I never played Monster Hunter World though; this'll be my first Monster Hunter game. I'll be going with sword & shield (though I may experiment with longsword after getting better at the game); it's easy (well, easier) to use based on my experience with the demo, and it allows me to play as a left-handed character; as a left-handed Zelda fan who was extremely disappointed that Nintendo made Link right-handed in Breath of the Wild for no good reason, it'll be nice to play as a left-handed character on the Switch.
My main in MHXX was Long Sword, but I switch for every game 😅
They're all kicked out of other people's games because they trip everyone
@@MrTerrorzone2012 I don't like that. I mean, if yoy know, what you are doing you rarely hit others. And a bad Hammer or Hunting Horn player at the back end is way worse I think. But that has nothing to do with the weapon. It's the players, so every Long Sword player should have a chance, at least for one hunt.
LS since GU
I played my first MH game last year, with world/iceborn
And after watching a bunch of gameplay and vids like this, i desperately wanted to main the hunting horn, but...getting to tobi kadatchi with it was horrible for me, so i tried the others and...
God i fell in love with the switch axe, everything about it, combat and design just clicked with me, and now im a mh fan for life :)
So hyped for tomorrow!
Still have no clue what I'll main though, leaning towards duel blades.
I used Insect Glaive on MHW and I loved it. However for this game, I think I'll try different weapons but you made so many look fun so I don't know what to use
Arekkz: You want to play insect glaive if you want to be king of the skies.
Rathalos: So I took that personally...
Insect glaive is one of the best weapons to use against rathalos and rathian lol always on top of them and never getting poisoned or burned
Insect Glaive > Any flying monster.
Personally I will use 3 weapons:
Dual Blades as my main weapon: Light category, Cut damage, Hight dps, really good for cutting tails or just kill the monsters fast, also really good in online or solo
Bow as my mid/long range weapon: Technical category, Shot damage, also Hight dps, can be used as support in online and is really good at solo too
Hammer as my knockout weapon: Heavy category, Impact damage, Hight single hits (which in the end result in a hight dps as its a really fast weapon for its weight), really good in online or solo
This way I have the 3 weapons categories, the 3 of the 4 damage types (fixed is the last type), all are really good for solo or online, are really good for farming and play similar, I know they have the same downside: the management of stamina, personally for me its not a downside in world I completed the game with the Bow and the Dual Blades, so I know how to manage that and Rise Dual Blades are just a lot better, its not that stamina consumer as it used to be, these 3 weapons are the ones that felt more naturally for me and I had the most fun playing, even though I never used a Hammer until Rise's demo it just felt so natural for me, it was like using a giant impact dual blade (it has a beyblade attack too), using these 3 will be really good for solo and online as all 3 of them are just awesome in those category so that's why I am using them
- Sorry if there's any English error
My first weapon when I started playing monster hunter (when monster hunter world came out) was the charge blade. It was my main all through the main story and I tried out others after the xenojiiva fight. When iceborne came out I went long sword. My favorites are long sword, switch ax, charge blade, dual blades and insect glaive
I will always start with GS, but I love videos like this.
Hunting Horn all the way, it's the only weapon that hits hard and also continuously ups your stats. Plus I feel the visual elements are really useful for beginners
Nice coverage here. I would also mention that Bows have one other complication as a ranged weapon. The one Bow-specific complication that one should get a feel for the proper attack distance, for damage. If you are too close or too far, you do significantly less damage with your attacks, depending on the arrow type chosen. Something the Bowguns don’t deal with. In a typical MH game, one could feel for the proper distance if the screen shakes upon impact.
Just wanted to note that because when I go between Bows and Bowguns, being cognizant of that distance aspect is one basic part of what greatly changes my approach in combat.
Also, for new players trying out the heavier weapons like Great Sword, take note that rolling is your friend. Without rousing rolls to cancel animations, not only will the startup seem long, but you will feel open and vulnerable, for some time, after the swing. Recover much more quickly, if you roll at the end of your attack or combo. You may see that in the video here. For Great Sword, you can also use stuff like wire bug Power Sheath to quickly put your sword away, gain back all your mobility, and get a healthy boost to your weapon damage for a bit.
I've been an IG hunter practically my whole hunting career, but after trying other weapons I feel like you could really learn them all.
I love the insect glaive because you can just sic the kinsect onto your target and spam X and deal a bunch of damage.
Bro that long sword description was so funny... Thanks for all your helpful vids, just starting now :D
4:30 Imagine being so pissed off that you'd rather use your bear hands to rip into a platypus than using the two swords you already got.
No that's because the Lance destroyed them.
3:35 Wow valor hammer is back!! RIP every other weapon in the game for me 😁😁😁
Can't wait for your hammer runs in Rise, but you can't just ditch my precious switch axe like that 😪
@@tetsucabra4146 Ok fine, you talked me into it, Switch Axe can stay but that’s it nothing else!
I'll be going for Insect Glaive at least for my coop adventure. For the singleplayer portion, I want to try as many weapons as possible. Gunlance, Lance and Switchaxe are my most beloved weapons, but it's time branch out once again. Last time I did that was 4U.
Hi Arrekz guys. Been watching for 5+ years and I love all the content you've provided. And all the hunter tips that help me get all the gear I want.
I know this was a thing in Iceborne, but since I haven’t played since 4 Ultimate, I am very happy the longsword spirit combo gives you the option of a badass sheathe and redraw move instead of starting your combo completely from scratch.
My first proper venture into MH, and I'm gonna start with the Great Sword just for looks. Plus it hits hard!
My first weapon in MH1 and MHFU.
It's really fun to do big damage and stun everything, yet so frustrating to constantly miss charged attacks.
If you can get the skills for crit draw and quick sheath, it will make your life 10 times easier. lol
Could you please do weapon tutorials like you did in World, but with the wirebug attacks as well?
my favorite is the charge blade, i always enjoyed how it works even if i dont know how to fully use it yet
Longsword is always gonna be that weapon that's my really solid third favorite weapons. Like it's a really fun weapon to just break out every now and then and basically parry the world with but it's never gonna be my number 1 pick.
It’s mostly the fact that everybody uses it that makes me not want to use it.
That Levi Attack on Titan reference made me chuckle! 😂
Probably going to start with the dual blades. I really would like to learn the charge blade though. I love that buzz saw looking axe attack.
I need help using the charge blade, it was my main in mh4u but idk how you did those air combos in the vid, I always loved the charge blade so versatile for me
I love flying around the map with the insect glaive and wire bugs. You jump around and can jump from walls like some kinda demon
i hat how people always say bow is the easierst ranged weppon to get into , its hard af
I'm so ready to get back into this series, gotta finally try out Bow
I AM TUROK !!!
Hammer main. Wanted to use Lance as well in World but I was too far at that point. This time since it takes less material to craft weapons I'll make hammers and lances from each monster if possible.
3:26
Bro, look at that chunky damage! 483 damage, that’s nuts! God I freaking love Hammer in this game, it’s so good. I feel like people are definitely sleeping on it. I don’t see as many people talk about it compared to Hunting Horn. I absolutely love both, just wish the Hammer would get a little more recognition you know?
Hammer is gonna be MEGA sleeper OP. Those damage numbers are overtuned LOL
Lance main since first MH game on PS2. Never gonna change but still want to support Arekkz
Going to be trying out hunting Horn this time around. Each game I always try out a new weapon. And HBG for range
I struggled with a weapon switching between hammer, dual blades, and sword and board during the PSP life. Then I tried switch axe with the DS until I decided to give Charge Blade a try. I’ve been charge blade since. Insect Glaive was nice for solo work because of the speed and mobility and it made mounting sooo much easier. But now I’m definitely 💯 Charge Blade main.
I've always been a Hammer main and Horn secondary, but I'm genuinely contemplating the Glaive, Dual Blades or Funlance this go around.
i will always recommend the gunlance :)
Only 30 seconds in and I hear LIES how dare you slander the LEGENDARY SnS like that. The SnS is our God. So powerful that Capcom had to nerf it by removing its oiley greatness.
Obviously joking great video 👍👍👍
JoCat is that you lol
I am just diving back in since playing world ages ago. Shortly after starting I went to my Hammer, Bowguns, and duals. Looking to get back into wither swaxe or charge blade.
The footages are INSANE.
The best weapon for you is always something that makes you feel great when you hit the monster while also not dying frequently. Ahaha
It's all about the feels
And this is why I dropped the glaive and picked the lance (couldn't stand aiming with the kinsect and refreshing buffs constantly).
@@milanmalfait9914 and that's why I chose the glaive in MHW lol destroy Rathalos with it. Im trying the long sword this time around.
@@crazyape515 I'm glad you're having a blast with the glaive. I just sucked at aiming and fell into the common "jump all the time" type of mistake.
@@milanmalfait9914 same for the glaive. I liked it in concept but I got irritated the bug stuff so I eventually switched to the dual blades
I chose the Hammer for that reason. I love the idea of dominating monsters with massive blows to the head, and knocking them out.
Started of in Rise with the Charge blade, because it looked so cool in the demo. However I struggled to get to really grasp the weapon, which kinda became a problem for me when the monsters got tougher like the Barrioth for example. I then started looking at other weapons and after trying out Greatsword for a bit my eye fell on the Banabra bows, I still think they are one of the coolest looking weapons in the game. Thanks to those hovering pests I am now a full on Bow main. I really love the mobility it has in this game combined with the range to really keep an eye on what the monster is doing. It only became better for the further I progressed to the game as I could get more stanima skills to higher levels (Constitution/Stanima surge) to really keep the action going!
A year late, but I think I want to try bow. The game just came to Xbox and I have never tried bow but it's always interested me. It feels like it could be great with both pets distracting the monster and the extra wirebug mobility. Did you continue to use the bow? Do you have any tips for a beginner? hahaha
you said the magic words...."Himura Kenshin" :) My HEART
I was a Light bowgun for a long time...but this game has made me love the Long sword so much!
I’m not great at complicated weapons, so I tend to stick to things like the Greatsword, Hammer, Lance, and Insect Glaive
But somehow, hunting horn went from a weapon too complicated for me to enjoy playing, to a weapon that was too simple for me to enjoy playing
I just wanted to watch a monster hunter video, but UA-cam needed me to know that all of existence is brought to us by Raid Shadow Legends...
I already know which weapon I'm gonna start with so I'm just here to see new moves and gameplay lol. Was not disappointed.
Been using hammer for so long but imma put it on the shelf this time around and go with LS/GS as my mains
Video : We will show all weapons so you can choose any.
Hunting Horn mains : You don't choose the Hunting Horn, the Hunting Horn chooses you.
I like anime, but I'm not touching the longsword with a 10ft pole.
same
That seems like a very good primer, if I were a new hunter I'm sure that would have given me somewhere to start.
Mixed Set Monday is back baby!!!
I’m going for Insect glaive, dual blades, hammer and long sword.
Simple: try them all out.
After the demo (and watching this channel for a while) I decided I would finally decide to main the gunlance
I'm usually a Hunting Horn main, that said I took that weapon 'personality' test on twitter that Capcom released and it said my true weapon is Lance. I've never given the lance a fair genuine try, but that silly test made me want to try and make that my main for this new game.
