Newbie Questions on Damage Output
So I just got MHW ultimate edition and I'm really enjoying the first few hours so far. The game is running great, even with the high res texture pack installed, but I have a few questions on game play as I'm pretty overwhelmed currently.

Any advice on easy weapons to start with? I have tried bow, katana and the lance, but everything seems to deal ridiculously low damage resulting in frustratingly long battles with low level monsters?

Its taken me like 10+ minutes each of fighting and chasing to defeat the Great Jarax and Yuki (cant remember the names so forgive me). Is this normal? Am I missing some heavy attacks or something, or do I just have to get used to lengthy battles in this game? Is there another approach I can take here?

I dont particularly mind longer battles, but if these absolutely beginner monster are taking so long, then do the later ones take an hour, or am I missing something here?

Welcome to Monster Hunter World!

I was ridiculously bad when I started playing and actually needed waaaay longer than only 10 minutes for the first monsters. I chased those things around for like 30 minutes each.

What I'm trying to say is: It's normal and you're probably doing great.

Monster Hunter in general, is a 'long' series of 'boss fights'. 10+ minutes is about right when you're starting off, and it's only when you hyper focus min.maxing do hunts in your gear range take <10 minutes. While the starting monsters aren't really anything impressive, If you've not used the defender stuff, That can power you though (if you don't mind being "overleveled" as it were)

You should expect most hunts to take 15-30ish minutes. Everything from mid-game in the vanilla content.. to endgame hunts with groups. MHW tries to balance that out, even if you're in singleplayer.

If you find yourself taking up to an hour for a normal hunt.. You're not geared properly. Simply focus on some time to upgrade your weapon and armour! it's the bread and butter of Monster hunter games.

Damage is convoluted.. The "Damage" you see on a weapon's page is generally not what it'll actually do. it's more similar to a DPS-meter, than an outright "It'll do (X) damage" Slower weapons get heavier "true" damage, and faster weapons do more damage overtime.


Otherwise, some easy starting weapons are Longsword, Switch axe, and people say hammer, but id say nah, It's a very, very heavy position weapon that really benifits people who know the monster move sets, over newbies learning it all.

10 minutes? You'll be fine.

About those damage number, you need to read about motion value. Smaller number pop up =/= less damage. Smaller number but you can land it often and consistenty = big damage. Bigger number but you miss or cant time it properly = less damage.

A normal 4man run if everyone plays what they want and no pressure at any point in the game can be between 20-35 min. More than that and some just need a little bit more experience, and less than that and you're in an experienced group. That's pretty much it.

Solo takes less time if you have the right build against the right monster and you know what you need to do. But it can take more time if you've not mastered your weapon + dont know the monster too well + dont have ok gear against him. Solo normal runs with no pressure can take again between 20-35min. Same thing as above.

Everything is considered if you have appropriate gear on the quest, not undergeared, and not overgeared.

Now if you try to do the best you can, it can be over in less than 15min, even 10min, with the appropriate gear again, not over, not under.

Overall it is pretty normal, even more so since you are at the beggining.

Pro-Tip : Dont sweat too much about your damage output. Play what you want to master and what you like the best, the damage will come by itself very very easily. Your personal skill in Monster Hunter games covers pretty much almost everything. That + an armor that pushes your playstyle even further.

Thanks heaps guys, good to know I'm not doing anything particularly wrong by the sounds of it. I honestly have forgotten to visit the cantene before my last few hunts, so I guess I wasnt doing myself any favours either. I will also remember to upgrade my gear cause its another thing I have forgotten about.

Keep in mind you can still access the canteen near your tent while out on a hunt :steamhappy:

Side note on that, if you have the defender armor, given to all for iceborne update, then you have one of the stronger weapon and armor that will last you til story end

10 mins is very fine. My last hunt was 30 mins, facing ebony odogaron for 1st time.

Protip:

Leave your palico at camp and 1v1 with the monster. 30 mins wont feel long that way coz you will be engaged all the time, you will have full attention of it. There will be satisfaction of reading its patterns and dealing with it well. If you bring palico/tailrider army, you can freely hit the monster for free often but it is boring and even 10 mins would feel long and tedious, and it feels chaotic too coz harder to learn the patterns of the monster, you feel you are not in control. Not so fun.

Watch speedrun videos if you really want to know how to fight a monster effectively, when and which part to hit.

I'd like to mention that as you get deeper in the game, you'll gain access to pieces of armor with skills that boost crit chance (affinity), crit damage, attack power, or the damage of specific attacks. While personal skill is far more important for shortening hunt times, these equipment skills can also help greatly.

To put it in perspective, your first hunt against a monster may take 20-30 minutes. After you've fought it many times, learned its moves, how to properly handle your weapon, geared up, and prepared the right items, you can easily bring that time down to under 5 minutes.

I've gotten some hunts against end-game enemies to under 2 minutes in some cases. (Pre-Iceborne)

As far as weapons go, try all of them tbh. Pick the one that jives with you the most. They're all viable. Don't be afraid to play more than one as well if you like a couple of them. You can test the weapons out in the training area as well, you get there by speaking to the Housekeeper cat in your room.

Thanks for the info guys, I guess I need to play around with it all a it more and see what works.
Welcome to Monster Hunter. (Just letting you know, there might be some errors in my comment because I wrote this before I sleep.)

First of all, weapons. Starting with a Charge Blade and Hunting Horn might be a difficult choice. Personally I love the hunting horn (my main) but I recommend you using it when you reach near end-game. Insect glaive and longsword might be the best choice for you. It might still require some skill but just think of simple basic math equation you need to memorize. Great Sword and Sword and shield are also an amazing choice. It's the easiest weapons to start with. As for ranged, bow will be the easiest choice.

Playing 10 minutes for the first monster? Don't worry, you have 50 minutes. 50 minutes to complete the quest. Just try your best to memorize and read the monster's movement. Survival comes first no matter what.

If you need some assistance from random players, "Fire SOS" always a helpful choice. It's in the name "SOS". I'll also be glad to assist you in future needs, feel free to add me.

As for armor, if you want to slowly learn the game, don't use the defender/guardian armor sets as they will boost your story learning curve. If you want to skip to Iceborne, feel free to use it for the entire low rank story.

I hope this helped, good luck in the future ^^

In the start all weapons will deal low damage. Don't focus on the damage numbers it show because the math behind it is absolutely ridiculous and I believe only the Great Sword is able to reach the damage number it stats but only in certain conditions and a ton of buffs.

The weapons will do roughly like 10% of the damage that is listed on a weapon.

Even later on in the game they won't be near that full damage. IceBorne weapons with a lot of decorations gets close though.

dps builds refusing to bring effluvia resistance against vaal hazak deserve the cart and should learn to build against specific monsters

my advice: build loadouts (armor and items) for specific monsters, mostly elder dragons, but if you really want to wail on certain wyverns, you can do that too
