In this part of the video, the focus is on discussing and ranking various weapons in Monster Hunter World.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the pros and cons of using various weapons in Monster Hunter World. They start by analyzing dual blades, noting their high DPS potential, unique dash dodge feature, and best elemental configurations with the Cold Tear Off dual blades. This weapon is noted for its strong attacks but requires farming and is best suited for experienced players. Next, they move on to the hammer, explaining that while it looks heavy, it maintains normal movement speed when sheathed and excels in face-targeted attacks to knock monsters out. Although the hammer has high raw attack power and crushing charge attacks, it’s challenging to use effectively without practice and lacks guarding or evasive maneuvers. The segment ends with the introduction of the hunting horn, highlighting its low usage rate but noting it as the ultimate support weapon, worthy of respect.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, the discussion focuses on two specific weapons in Monster Hunter: the Hunting Horn and the Lance. The Hunting Horn is noted for its ability to deal blunt damage and provide party-wide buffs such as defense up, attack up, slower stamina depletion, and earplugs for monster roars. It can even heal the team, although its usage can be complex due to the need to play specific notes for different buffs. This makes it highly valuable in team play but less effective solo.
The Lance, on the other hand, boasts the best defense with a massive shield and exclusive guard mechanic, allowing it to go toe-to-toe with any monster. It has a long reach and the ability to attack upwards, but its damage output is lower compared to other weapons. This makes it suitable for more methodical, defense-oriented play styles, appealing more to veteran players than novices. The segment concludes by noting the Lance’s lower ranking due to its limited attack power despite its strong defensive capabilities.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the creator discusses different weapon options in Monster Hunter World, focusing on the Lance and Gunlance. The Lance is appreciated for its patience-driven playstyle, with the True Fatalis Lance being the strongest in the game. Although initially considered for a lower ranking, the Lance is ultimately placed in C tier due to its solid performance, depending on player preference for a slower playstyle.
The Gunlance is introduced as an explosive alternative to the Lance, maintaining strong defense with the added benefit of shelling capabilities. The True Fatalis Gunlance is highlighted as the strongest version, combining high base attack, normal shelling level seven, and purple sharpness. The Gunlance is praised for its versatility, optimal balance of reach, defense, and special damage, despite hindering mobility. The creator personally favors the Gunlance over the Lance due to its varied attack options.
The discussion then shifts to the Switch Axe, noting a usage rate of six percent. Introduced in Monster Hunter 3, the Switch Axe features both axe and sword forms, changing movement speed and damage output. The weapon is noted for benefiting from targeting monsters’ elemental weaknesses and includes management of the sword form gauge, which may not appeal to all players.

Next, the Charge Blade is examined. It has a higher usage rate than expected and combines a big sword and shield. The weapon is complex and features an axe and sword form, with the sword form offering better defense. The strongest Charge Blades are the “QR Strongarm” and “True Fatalis Charger,” with player preference deciding between elemental or impact vials. This weapon is deemed difficult for beginners to master.
Finally, the Insect Glaive is described as the strangest weapon with a seven percent usage rate. It allows for aerial combat and uses a kinsect to harvest buffs from monsters, which transfer to the player. The weapon is noted for its versatility and unique combat style.

It also supports various coatings for added effects like poison or power boosts. The bow features a wyvern shot, a charged attack ideal for maximizing damage through piercing.
