Is hunting horn viable solo?

[🌧 CloudWhisperer 🌧]

In MHW i think hunting horn solo was a joke, is it the same thing in rise?

Hunting Horn is still in the bottom half of the DPS rankings but for normal players its damage is stronger than it's ever been.

It's also much simpler to use. Whether this is a good or bad thing is a matter of opinion.

This video should let you see what it can play like.

Every weapon was always "viable" solo.

I'm not an HH main, but IMO this version feels a lot better than previous versions. In World, you spent a reasonable amount of time each hunt just doing toot toot and dancing. And it didn't have the damage numbers to back up the downtime. However, in Rise the damage is not the greatest either, but at least you don't have that downtime. Combat feels more engaging.

But to answer your question, yes, HH is pretty good in solo hunts.

Agreed, it doesnt matter how long you take until youre not running out of Mission Time :P


I say even People get blinded by the whole Speedrunner stuff (wich i personally must say is the toxic way of playing any game, its insulting the Game)

99% of people who talk about things like "meta" or how "viable" weapons are are neither speedrunners nor they are good at the game. It's all very cringe. IF they were speedrunners, they wouldn't even talk about it here but in their own groups where it actually makes sense, and if they were actually good at the game they would know better than to obsess about all of it.

But come on, the whole notion that speedrunning is toxic is just plain ridiculous. Speedrunning is awesome, and actual speedrunners are some of the most passionate people you'll ever meet. They respect their games like no other, and they know not to confuse how they play the game with how people normally do it. You know, like normal, reasonable adults would. Don't conflate that group with larpers who keep talking about meta and viability.

You can win with whatever weapon

[Wik L. Dash]

went all the way to HR50 with HH solo. so yes it viable.

The way that it's stronger now, is that the weapon feels stronger from the moment you pick it up, while the weapon has stayed relatively the same in the high end ceiling. for some reason.

can't win them all I guess, but maybe that will change with Sunbreak.
