why are people saying charge blade is hard to use

[Farmor tulle]

stands next to sns, gs and ls level of knowledge to use.

bow aswell.

Cb is just has a lot of moving parts to it that trip people up and people don't really know how to manage it.

In wilds, the skill floor is decreased heavily due to phial management being basically none existent (it's a lil disappointing)

True, people hyping it up to being the most confusing and hardest weapon to learn. Just for the hardest thing being figuring out how to charge the blade. Which only requires a quick search.

not hard to use, most complex. it has the most gimmicks to utilize to get it working properly but you can "me smack monster till dead" like with any other weapon.

Not really complex, and dont hit me with ''oh you just dont know everything'' charge blade has very little complexity to it. Hunting horn is complex. I agree that charge blade isn't that go-to like other weapons such as sns, ls or gs. But it doesen't require that much time invested to utilize the entire arsenal

Eh. I'd disagree on that. Hunting Horn can be just as "smacky monster with big heavy end" just like the Hammer and other mid-heavy weapons of that ilk. Coupled with follow the song lists then press a different smack monster with heavy end button to get buffs after a moment. It's easy enough to grasp, in my opinion, helped along with button queues for the melodies in the upper right hand corner of the UI.

Just like any other weapon though I'd think the difficulty lies in maximizing it's potential. Charge Blades are intimidating to me to use from attempts at trying to use them back in World, and trying to figure out how to charge both the sword and the shield with the phials in order to pull off an SAED, even if I could just keep stabbing the monster with the SnS combo sets which I can do okayish with to some degree.

Meanwhile Hunting Horns need certain melodies queued up in order to use their ability to hard counter a monster's attack, and that's only if the Hunting Horn in question has the Offset Melody to begin with. As opposed to...y'know. Resounding Melody, or Melody of Life. Worst of all, and where I'd see the difficulty in HH usage come into play, they tend to be different combinations of notes across different Hunting Horns.

Point is. Maybe weapons aren't as complex as we make them out to be. The complexity is just from using them well in hunts.

no weapon is hard all weapons feel the same and all monsters are the same... everything is just reskin :)

[Black Lamb, Rock Enjoyer]

Its not. Its not even the most complex. Previous iterations of Gunlance and Bowguns had even more moving parts than CB.

Idk why youtubers keep parroting this sentiment either.

I wish it was so easy to understand. I am coming from GS/LS/Bow/HBG.

I tried to understand the vials mechanic but it’s just too much for me to remember.

I don’t know why and how important it is to charge my shield/sword.

Also I am using m/kb not controller and tbh the new focus mode makes it even harder for me.
