New to Monster Hunter? Here's a primer to get you up to speed with the basics as you head into Rise...
but it sure doesn't explain some of its systems and mechanics well... although veterans will know that's pretty much par for the course for the series. Here, we'll try to break down some of the basics in the hope that more players will get to experience the joy of MonHun.There's not strictly a 'best' weapon class in Monster Hunter in general, since even though damage output does differ somewhat between them, they're all designed to fill different roles.
Dual Blades and Insect Glaive are the best picks for agile weapons, though you'll need to be mindful of their high stamina usage, while Switch Axe and Charge Blade are flashy options that can take a little learning to use well but look and feel great once you get a feel for them. Finally there's the ranged trio of Bow and the Light and Heavy Bowguns...
As for what they all do, Paralysis is one of the best general options as it holds the monster in place for a while, making it easy for impact weapons to guarantee knockouts for even more free damage and/or for cutting weapons to go to work on tails without the monster moving around.
That's all we have for now, but if there are any other aspects of Monster Hunter's idiosyncratic design that you don't fully understand, drop a comment below and we can update the article and/or dive into the discussion below to help out both new players and those struggling to deal with some fairly major changes compared to World. Hit us up, and happy hunting!
