Is there a reason to use monster weapons instead of artian weapons?

[Damien]

I saw a lot of people say artian weapons are better so i'm confused on if there would be any reason to go for monster material weapons instead? I like the monster weapons design better than the artian ones because its the same look unfortunately.

Artian are the best weapon but the game is easy enough that you can choose fashion over power and still whack monsters.

In terms of min\max artian weapons are better. 3 slots 3 level decos and you can customize them (it's random, but still). But there's no content for now that requires max damage from you, so you can just use whatever you want

There are a few weapons that are stronger than artian. But for most it's artian.

[Veritas]

only a few specific cases, like arkveld gunlance, blangonga bow, rey dau lbg (for pierce ammo specifically) etc but yeah otherwise Artian dumpsters the base weapon tree. thanks capcom

monster weapons have weapon bonuses+ gems. they can be far stronger if you choose the right ones, artian are min/max because of Decos but other then that they will be replaced in time with a more powerfull monsters weapons. alot of weapons are still viable even in endgame.

[Dunfaust]

Monster weapons outright better for certain weapons, like Gunlance and Hunting Horn. Artian weapons also don't shine until you have access to a good array of level 3 decorations to use with them.

People overlook that monster weapons have built in skills. Some of which would normally take a level 3 deco slot. Artisan weapons are also pretty meh if you're doing a raw damage build. It varies per weapon and you just need to compare.

I would prefer a Kulu Ya Ku when he smashes a rock in your face!

It's a terrible system. Color me shocked.

They made the game super casual but forgot to update the grinding systems to match it.
