Please stop using terms like "broken" and "weakest weapon in this game" in regular "what weapon should I use" discussions. It makes people think stuff is stronger or weaker than they actually are.

Cb is the most powerful weapon in the game... the glaive is the weakest i speak facts little kid deal with it

"facts" are all weapons perform very close to each other even for the speedrunning community, for nornal players every weapon is viable.

SnS is a good supporter weapon
you can use flashbang while holding it
the damage output compared to other weapons is pretty low

charge blade
has a pretty high dmg output, but it needs some time until you got used to the combos and timing of the weapon

wow these were a lot of comments and hurricane you clearly dont know anythin this game. And so i do have like 200 hours with CB and mor with SnS in older games the charge blade cleary right now is very powerful thats for sure but only people that actually think a little may realise that SnS is one of the best weapons for hunting since you can anything anytime which any other weapon cant and that can be critica at some points event ho people say sns shield/block is which is true people seem to forget that you can't really always dodge and so you just block instead of risking it to dodge and get hurt... i like the charge blade but after i tried the sns for first time in this game it felt so good cause its fast and everthing poison on sns is even more awesome(btw i like how poisoned mnster look now :D) and yeah thats why i am going with SnS. what i dont personanly like is the fact that its range sometimes really sucks but thats not that big of a thing since you can jump high. oh and i realised stunning monsters(is for me personally) way eaiser with SnS as charge blade maybe because i really dontuse phials that much since i suck in axe mode cause i suck at dodgin XD.But at the end of the day No weapon sucks or is weak and theres no strongest weapon. because you can win with all of them in different ways and like time. If you think this isnt true you clearly are a kid and if you can tell me with an good argument that there is strong weak then its cool but see ya all have good Hunting!

I have about 300h played on PS4. U cant dodge easily with de CB, but, if you know the timings, well, you have Guardpoints.
SnS is the middle between CB - DB and DB for elemental/status builds are much better than SnS (movility, DPS and evasion).

SnS is a funny weapon, but it doesnt stand out at all. CB and DB have better DPS and do a better job.

Status DB/Bowgun + Apothecary Mantle is the best for support in groups (as status)
HH is the best weapon for support (buffs)
DPS: CB/GS/Group HBG are the strongest.

All weapons are viable and funny. You can kill every monster with each weapon, but, i think the combos of the CB are much stronger, funnier (and harder) in this game.

the insect glaive might be weakest in the dps area but it makes up for its multiple buffs and being able to mount/hit the monster on the top easily not to mention the kinsect can have its own element and diffrent damage type cutting blunt ect

need find self what feels good i think before release i go gunlance but now i have tryed and im up for hammer and great sword those 2 i was think i never gonna use them but well now they r 2 my main weapon :)

[ShayMo]

i really love playing Cb SNs LS very fun but what i hate the most to play for now is GL kinda and i feel like bow. the gunlance is annoying for me to play(i mained a time ago in mH4u) but in generations when i tried i just always had to sheath the weapon back and go there its so slow the movement that its annoying but the combat itself i so much fun and yeah iget why people say sns isnt flashy but i still feel like its awesome the combos that you can do with it mostly shoryuken is the ebst one

SnS may have lost oils, but its moveset greatly improved.

i miss being able to have nearly 100% afffinty with sns

[BrotherO4]

SnS is still a great weapon...from my point of view the only reason someone "Hates" it is simple...its not Flashy like the other weapons.

I haven't played SnS, but from what HIJEK rants about it's great, especially for applying status and using items while on a hunt.

Charge blade is my main and oh my god it's the best. With the slides, charging sword, no loss of red shield after a SAED, how quick it charges and how easy it is to pull off SAEDs, it is the mother of all beatdowns.

Also I guess you can block from time to time if you really need to.

And when u get a gem later (grinding), u can literally nullified a lot of one shot killing moves by elder dragon. There is an event quest on console at the moment and the elder dragon carted a lot of people but those behind CB and lance can take the move at their face...

SnS blocking is not 100% as compared to lance blocking. I think a lot of the larger monsters u can block but still sustain huge damage. I don't think adding Guard Up is any good on SnS though I didn't try. I did test it on Great Sword and its pretty decent. My guess even with Guard Up, if u block with SnS, u probably carted or maybe near carted from Elder dragon one shot killing move.

i know for a fact using block + works perfectly fine in the games before for me since i block alot becuase my doding sucks wihtout evade master XD but i once realised that youd take a lot of damage but you certainly wont be one shoted or killed even if sns shield, i see from that angle. you get one shoted or you block with your shield and instead sruvive and after a ultimate attack from elder dragons you always have like little seconds left to heal again so it should work perfectly fine and i actually like the animation of blocking for Cb and SnS a lot looks pretty cool
