What’s your Favorite Weapon Class?

[Mini]

I’m bored, so let’s talk about monster hunter weapons.

Personally, I really like the insect glaive, because it allows me to be much more mobile and allows for easy mounts and knockdowns. Only downside is the simple combo strings and having to juggle the bug buffs.

So there’s my favorite. What’s yours?

I'm a Switch Axe main, but I found Charge Blade to be quite fun aswell. I guess I really like weapons that have transformations and cool signature abilities.

I stopped CB somewhere mid HR then picked it up again recently. I was surprised when I found out about the Axe Charge mode. And the rotation of the blade is just so cool.

I flip flop just about equally between Switch Axes, Insect Glaives, and Sword and Shield.
I think if I had to pick a favourite between the three though, Switch Axes win by just a little bit.

Lance is god of mounting.

In MH3U I like the Long Sword most, it's a fun dance. In MHW it's the Insect Glaive, the mobility is great, but one has to use it rightly and it is a tad weaker than the other weapons. In Rise I like the hammer most, followed by the horn, stunning a monster is so much fun.

Hunting Horn all the waaaaaay!(actually really dislikes what they did with it in rise, never mind this weirdo ;) )

SnS all day, erryday.

Hammer main and Bow quasi-main, depending on Monster or mood.

Bow is super mobile and effective with most hunts, also like it when I play coop with the wife (have a support spec for that) to help out with healing etc and better see what she's doing.

Hammer is just plain satisfying in slides and the charged-up swing combo for knocking on downed or sleeping heads. Only wish I could turn off the helicopter move, but easy enough to avoid. Downside is really fast / flying monsters, but that's when the bow shines.

Used to main Greatsword in older MH games for similar reasons as the hammer - loved the weight and impact. Like it in World as well, but yeah. Hammer and Bow.

[Himars-TT]

CB and Bowguns for me!

[Dracuras]

Longswords and Dual Blades are my first favorites, added Charge Blades to the list cause I love the shifting between mobile SnS and heavy axe. Still learning the finer details of using it but I might main it for awhile.

Hammer. Simple, brutal and satisfying. Best feedback on hits.

After playing with most weapons for 200+ hunts, I gave lance a try once and it instantly became my main weapon. Insect glaive is a close second, but I don't like the kinsect extracts mechanic.

I've played the Hunting Horn for well over a thousand hunts now, have been collecting the ones I'm most interested in, and find myself patiently waiting for the Safi'jiva sieges every time I think I'm through with them, just so I can upgrade another one of the Hunting Horns I've collected from that dragon.

That said, nothing is quite as satisfying as landing a Charged Brutal Big Bang, then following up with a clutch claw Midair Spinning Bludgeon on the Hammer. It's what I go to after a hunt goes poorly and I want to engage in some stress relief. Unga bunga.
