Monster Hunter Rise | ALL 14 WEAPONS EXPLAINED - What Fits Your Playstyle Best?

This is my first game, and for now, I'll stick with sword and shield. I just want a weapon that fast but also not ranged.

is this gameplay from the switch version?

and all equally garbage to use

"If you want to defend like a tank and attack lile the other kind of tank" 😂

Exact reason why I mained the gunlance since Portable 2ndG

I must be a greatsword main (i am literally guts)

I know you bring up "knowing a monster's behavior" as something a lot of weapons benefit from... but I feel like that kinda goes without saying. Is there any weapon that DOESN'T benefit greatly from knowing a monster's move sets/behavior/animations? I can't think of a single one, except maybe insect glaive, where the goal is just to fly around, shred the monster, and bounce on them to charge up a dive.

I bought this game at launch but didnt enjoy it since i kept approaching it as i had to master all the weapons equally. Im glad to learn i can just master one if i feel like it and it will be viable.

Build Long Sword, both guns and daggers. You're good to go. MHR is a really easy game and those are the most broken weapons.

I'm a gunlance main and I can tell you
The best combo is spamming X+A-X-X-X

I bought MH Rise on Switch this weekend and I have already managed to clock in 8+ hours. I'm a LBG user only. I really like this weapon. I dodge monsters attacks all the time while shooting them in the face with gyro aiming!

"You cant describe a whole weapon with one word"
Me: bonk

In a nutshell:
Sword and Shield
Sword and Sword

Longsword
Widesword
Return to Monke
They're Groovin'
Poke, Poke, Poke, Repeat
Lance, 2
World's Smartest Neanderthal
The REALLY complicated one
Bowed Gun
Gunless Bow
Artilijerija!
The French one

Honestly, I did NOT like using ANY of these weapons. I dont know what Capcom did, but this game is the worst enrty in the series for me.

Hehe dual blade go brr

Excellent and detailed explanation!

Greatsword, but Rise doesn't look fun to me.

WHY does monster hunter STILL HAVE THE SAME COMMUNICATION ERRORS as mh world, and why is there NO info about it?

Got to say as a dual blade user he isn't wrong about moving around like a unhinged saw blade... if it wasn't for all my stamina skills and my bro using dash juice as a support I would burn through my Stam like it was going out of style

My first MH game was Stories,Rise is my first mainline game.

I've been jamming with the greatsword and I'm almost level 50, but after watching this I think I'm gonna go buy myself some hunting horns and take a new approach to laying the beat down

It’s good to know a few different weapon sets in case you hunt monsters that don’t quite fit the play style you are used to using.

i'm glad i watched this knowing there is really nothing new since MHW not even "dual katanas" or anything interesting relating to the lore

Why even have a difficulty scale of 1-5 if every one scores between 2-4? Hard to differentiate. Use the entire scale.

get ready for the gamepass kids to come into the lobby

Oh heavy bowgun you forgot the other special ammo, A FUCKEN PENATRATING EXPLOSIVE ROUND

I have only used the great sword as a main weapon for years.

I mix between dual blades, hammer, and bow

I main the dual blades but always trying different weapons to get different feels this video really gave some insight on the pros and cons on other weapons thanks 👍

SNS shield freaking sucks and the start......

I use the dual blades but usually stay in the sky so I might switch to the insect glaive

I always played long sword but in Rise the flexibility to craft other weapons is so nice, I’ve started to main the Great Sword and I’ve really gotten into the lance and heavy bow gun. Every weapon in this game is super fun to play and it honestly offers so much replay value

I main the LS and hunting horn in world. But rise really let's me play the great sword with a little more speed. Which is what steered me away from great sword in mhw. My suggestion is give them all a try before you decide

Thx 🙏🏾 u so much really help especially when you mentioned insect blade (I PERFER THE AIR)😂😂

I go with Light bow gun
love the idea of shooting monsters mid air when they would otherwise be relatively safe
also those mines can force burrowing monsters to surface

Personally going to get a feel for each weapon. Currently using dual blades, sword and shield, light bow gun, or bow and arrow, for choices right now. Hunting partner uses more variety than me, but I'll try each out in the training area, and see what I like best.

Pick the lance its the best weapon

thanks great video

Recently got Rise with a view of going greatsword or longsword. Now I’m trying new weapons and LOVE the switchaxe; it’s basically a trick weapon out of Bloodborne (one of my favourite games ever)

As a long time Monster Hunter fan, I have been playing since the original on PS2.

I originally started MH using the great sword.

I have gravitated through sword and shield, double blades, and also mained hammer.

With MH3U I started using Long Sword and loved it, and kept using it through MHW as well.

Might try focusing on Charge Blade this time around, it’s always looked freaking awesome but we will see, I am getting older and tend to not like to have to think to much about what I am going to do.

It tends to be easier to just act like I am a samurai and wreck shop with a Long Sword.

I love my switchblade

For me, the easiest weapons to complete the game (or learn the game) with, are: both bowguns, Insect glaive, Bow and as for the more traditional melees, probably Switch Axe because of its reach and decent overall speed

Although I've only played a few MH games so far, (namely MH3, MH:G & MH:W) I've always preferred Bowguns as the monsters regularly jumps around/reposition themselves, forcing me to sheathe, move in close again and then start attacking again... maybe just a few hits before they jump around/reposition again.

But with a Bowgun, no need to do that. just rotate, and I'm (pretty much) back on their a--es.

Thanks for this, i think the light bow gun is the one for me lol

hey, i can wield a huge hammer or god-like axe , but i dont know how to throw a punch, how does that make any sense?

why dont they have like a monk punchy punchy Ganlets like weapons I WANNA PUNCH STUFF

Watching these videos now before rise is released to console
