![]() Even though this weapon doesn't match the damage output of others, it can be immensely satisfying to time attacks well enough to fully connect a Jumping Advance Slash, just to reset with a Vaulting Dance into the air. The Kinsect harvests buffs from monsters that can help power up a player's attacks, but this has to be a constant thought in players' minds during each fight. The Insect Glaive has some of the best mobility of out all the weapons, both vertically and generally in the air. Monster Hunter Rise's Insect Glaive is a bit more streamlined that in previous entries, especially when it comes to the Kinsect mechanic that the weapon relies on. However, the weapons are best suited for players who can have fun with them. Along with the rest of the weapons is B-tier, these are great picks and definitely have their usefulness. Even though the Gunlance is great at breaking through a monster's defenses, the skill curve is too large to make the weapon useful right off the bat. The Gunlance has powerful combos, and its Wyvern's Fire is definitely one of the most powerful moves in the game. It may deal with low mobility issues, but can often release a large amount of damage, especially with its Shelling. The Gunlance is proof that, sometimes, slow and steady wins the race. The Wirebug mechanic lets players also charge up an aerial attack, which allows for a bit more versatility against different monsters. While the weapon's attacks are slower, they can deal massive damage when connected. The Great Sword has a solid moveset for both newer players and veterans to work with, and is still a great choice even though it doesn't have the range of the Long Sword. The Great Sword is arguably Monster Hunter's most iconic weapon, appearing all throughout the series, so it's no surprise that it ranks high up on the list. At the very least, the Silkbind attacks will allow players to counter some monster attacks. This weapon requires players to be a bit more informed about what they are getting into, since players won't be able to hack and slash their way out of a fight. Much like its companion, the Heavy Bowgun is great for ranged combat, but will require a steady supply of ammo. The Heavy Bowgun has great damage output, especially when using a type of ammo a monster is weak to. The Light Bowgun is a great ranged-support weapon, and that is likely where its effectiveness lies. While the damage output for the Light Bowgun is manageable, players are able to mostly use this weapon for its status-afflicting ammo. Much like the name implies, the Light Bowgun is the lighter option, allowing for increased mobility and evasive maneuvers in fights. Monster Hunter Rise provides players with two types of Bowguns which are great for ranged combat, even though they require a huge investment of time and resources. Connecting the Super Elemental Discharge move on a monster is a great feeling, especially seeing the devastating damage that can be done. The Charge Blade is a bit more difficult to master than the Switch Axe, but still has the ability to deal steady damage through both of its forms. This weapon also has two forms, with the basic sword/shield mode filling a meter that can eventually let the weapon transform into a giant battle axe. Starting off the A-tier is the Charge Blade in Monster Hunter Rise, which is pretty similar to the Switch Axe. The Switch Axe is a very reliable damaging weapon, and players will no doubt have some fun wildly swinging this weapon around. Plus, the Switch Axe's Zero Sum Discharge is probably the strongest attack in the game. ![]() The sword mode is temporary, and will end up needing to recharge after some time, but both forms are reliable damage dealers. Being a weapon with dual forms, players will switch between a giant axe and sword throughout its combos. Even though there is a learning curve for the Switch Axe, any player that sets their mind to it can get the hang of it pretty quickly. The Switch Axe is another weapon that players will have to train with to reach its full potential. The Long Sword's Spirit Blade attacks can dish out heavy damage against monsters, especially when used at opportune moments. Being able to dodge and immediately counterattack keeps players engaged in fights, allowing for more mobility than some other weapons. Players will need to take time to truly master the Long Sword and unlock its potential, but even its basic combos are useful. The Long Sword in Monster Hunter has typically been a popular weapon throughout the series, and it was actually the most used weapon in the demo for this game. It has great range for a melee weapon, pretty quick attacks, and can fulfill a player's desire to be a samurai. ![]()
