Im running Lance/GS with my build
and racked up heavy kills with both. 600 the past month with Lance.
I've fought Black Diablos, Pink Rathian, and Azire Rathalos
I main bow but have a zinogre long sword for WGS farming on pukei and rath (tail cuts). The hardest part about LS is resisting the urge to use spirit blade 3 and non special helm splitter at the wrong times because you will get punished for doing it more often than not. Also, fade slash replacing your backwards roll when you are mid combo is hard to get used to as well but is added damage if used right.
Yep the fade slash really messes me up as a sns main. I prefer the consistency of the sns tbh
Converted to LS main for SnS is a huge dps difference. Still have the sns to slap on if I want to focus on partbreak or status, but melting through monster after 10 seconds of spiritgauge building up is massive
Ikr ls damage is so good if you know what you're doing but i prefer the mindless playstyle of the sns when walking around haha!
Considering the nerf to blocking (increased chip damage when blocking), do you think the Sword and Shield is still S tier? I am still considering if I should main it or not.
Thank you for the video! I just recently started playing this game, and I love it! 😊
You mentioned your a sns main, what sns would you recommend for a new player? I'm HR33 😊
@ArkadianGames glad to see new players! For new players, i recommend sns weapons you can easily farm and upgrade. You can start off with girros sns if you want to paralyze monsters. The jagras sns is also great when fighting monsters weak against water. Once you have a strong water sns, you can farm tobi for your first thunder sns so you can hunt rathalos and rathian. But you should quickly replace these sns for stronger elemental weapons when you can :)
@PauwerPlays thank you! Awesome advice! 😊 I'm currently using the Bone GL, as I was able to upgrade it to grade 5! And it's my highest dmg dealer right now 😊
But I feel like I really need to work on my elemental dmg weapons now! 😅
@@ArkadianGames that's great! The bone gl can take you very far since its so easy to upgrade haha!
I honestly believe LBG with armor that builds reload lv3 and forgets recoil down is still competitive. I never take any damage on anything 4* and below (currently a 6* hunter) and the recoil is useful for dancing out of range of sweeping attacks that would otherwise catch me. If I get too far I just jump forward and repeat the process. Maybe it's because I'm still a 6* hunter but even with the nerfs it feels as powerful and safe as ever.
I not understand that. I need 7 shots to kill a small Monster with Black Diabolo bow 6.5
I can not use the bow effektive. I use LBG
I have a lance build
guard +4/5 (if coil is swapped)
special attack boost +4
lock on (can be swapped)
for me this build offsets the lack of damage of the lance.
And I use pukei lance for good measure, anything that can chip off the monster's HP helps.
So Lance needs a rebalance. Due to RSS i main sword and shield tho id like to use the lance more often. I do agree the duel blades need the buttons seprated and we need to be able to actually run. Other games have the joy stick option on top of dodge and hold to charge.
Before they rebalance anymore weapons, they need to rebalance the healing system.
Facts. Healing is so expensive in this game haha
@@PauwerPlays @EbiLMunkeY we definitely need the ability to craft potions
@@EbiLMunkeY we definitely need to be able to craft potions
Lance is sck, but i upgrade it. high defense and high grade weapon save me many potion usage. I can hunt 10-20 8star low tier monster without using potion (if not missplay)
I think Lance has advantages that I think is overlooked ...
1. unless out of range Lance will 100% hit where u lock-on ... taking Kulu holding the stone, all weapons (except Lance) will hit stone regardless of lock-on, on other occasion even with lock-on does not always hit the lock-on spot
2. still honoring the author analysis, I thinking of trying offensive Lance rather Defensive ... Lance make up loss of attack speed of Sword/Shield with accuracy & increase range
3. I am not sure whether you ppl know Lance has a 5-combo-hit charging skill ... hold and release a little distance from monster and you will perform 5-combo-hit skill
4. The charging skill will chase monster that like “running away", without you having to tap/swap to catch up will monster, still unsure whether during the charge has other coupled effect (example shield you from blind effect of Tzitzi-Ya-Ku or maybe negating frontal attacks)
5. With proper handling, I think Lance can move up a tier
This actually has everything I wanted to say haha Lance is definitely not at the bottom of the list.
interesting takes!
Thanks man! Hope it wasnt too hot 😂
@@PauwerPlays not at all, pretty valid based off the reasons provided! the tier list might look a little different if assessment was just based on damage output, but other factors makes a huge difference to the quality of one’s gaming experience, which i think you managed to highlight. so thanks for sharing and i enjoyed the video! :)
@@monsterhunternowsg glad you enjoyed it man! Thank you for supporting the channel :)
I use the Lance and Shield because i can dodge grounded type attacks by flying
I’m just imagining lance flying like the SnS it’s so goofy
Hi Pau, please can you do a video with awesome sword and shield builds, i am a sword and shield main too, thank you!
Sure i have a great idea for one!
SNS is like your childhood sweetheart, easy to understand and easy to handle when you just started the game with, but she will lose her advantage as you progress farther in game while LS start to show up and dominate, LS just like the lady that appear halfway in game with higher levels and damage which seducing you to give up on SNS and turn to LS 😏😏😏
Dont fall for the temptations of the sexy LS. We stick with the reliable sweetheart 🤣
Lol this killed me 😂😂
The hammer could be an A list with gyro active. Due to the omni-directional movements which when manipulated fix the reach the hammer gets which feels slightly too short imo...
I ran hammer about 70hunts before i rurned gyro on for it. Im over 2.1k on gyroscope hunts now on hammer alone and becauee ive done this ive grown to stay with hammer... if the hammer performed just as same as it does with lock on qith gyro and i had no Omnidirectional movements... then i would have moved on from hammer.
I agree with "lock on" the hammer sits buttom tier with g.s. 💯%
As you know i farm my life away wirh partbreaker... so i run weapons that give me good break values....and tank them biased on that and the functionality with gyro...
D.B sits bottom for me on gyro hands down as well as for partbreaker...
D.B are soo bad with gyro on ... even the Omnidirectional dodging feels different then the rest of weapons on d.b.
Have you tried doing the dodges that curve with gyro? LIFE SAVER WHEN ON THE EDGE OF MAP
Yeaaah db pretty bad especially when it locks you in attack animations most of the time and the i-frames when demon mode is so strict haha
Yes i followed some LS users to watch their amazing gameplay, people said "hey are you from future? You beat it till last second without any damage!"
Their sword play n evade are legend
LS highlights are so satisfying to watch haha! I wish the sns could switch it's aerial follow up attack with a slashing attack too not just the shield slam haha!
How do I even change weapon type? I'm still stuck on sns
Complete chapter 2 and you will unlock the other weapon types
@@PauwerPlays Im already hr14 though, I’m not sure what chapter I am
I dont know if I agree with the placement of SNS and Dual Blades.
Not based on on my own liking, but based on the reason provided.
SNS is placed in a high tier because of its "versatility," and I get that.
That's always been the weapon's niche. Jack of all trades, and even getting to use items when unsheathed in some titles.
But that makes sense in a mainline game.
In this game, DPS is king, not versatility, and you say as much, when you put LS and Bow in really high placements.
Versatility and stuns and blocking roars are all nice, until you can't defeat an 8 star because you're a few seconds shy of the timer, but can complete the same hunt with Dual Blades that are almost a full grade lower.
You yourself said that Dual Blades do more damage than SNS, but rate it lower because of "high risk high reward."
But your number one melee weapon is the riskiest melee weapon in the game with the highest reward.
The logic here with those two weapons seems way off, and it seems a though SNS was placed there for popularity, more than the actual strength of the weapon.
Sns is in a mid tier because it doesn't have a lot of DPS, but it can do a lot to support the team. Its versatility makes up for the dps it's lacking.
For the Dual blades, i disagree. Imo the dual blades is the riskiest weapon as it locks you in combos while the LS you can just sheath your weapon and wait for the monster to attack, and it rewards you with a lot of damage.
Im not saying the SNS is good or the dual blades are bad. Im just saying they are not as good as the other weapons. They have downsides, unlike the top tier weapons.
DB can access demon mode and hit special with 0 stamina. Additionally, you can keep entering demon mode on 0 stamina and perform a full combo before getting out of it. It also charges your special gauge the fastest out of all the weapon types and cleaves tails like no other. All of that AND it js the second strongest raw weapon in the game, only out performed by the bow, because black Diablos bow is simply broken.
I might be a little biased, but personally, the only weapons I would put in S tier are the bow and db. LS is too risky and requires a huge skill level to be useful, where as the sns just simply lacks damage when dealing with monsters that are 8* +. While I agree with you that the status weapons are fun to play, and I was an sns main, using paralysis and poison. That was until I got up to 8* monsters, at which point I hit a wall and couldn't progress. With regular Diablos DB 7/5 I could kill almost any 8* monster, and now that I finally got my hands on some wyvern gems, I can take out 8*s with ease, using a 8/2 db.
Yeah i also struggled against 8 stars using my grade 8 girros sns. I regret upgrading it haha. Now im switching to elemental builds and i can hunt 8 stars using 7/5 elemental weapons
I have DB G75 elemental weapon build but can’t kill legiana 8*. does other weapons can kill it or raw DB can kill it
@@xuyan3377 7/5 Anja db should be good enough to take out 8* Legi. What's your skill set?
Which build do u use wirh diablo DB? Im wirh 8* anda cant defeat them (only some gyrros or kulu)
@@robertosanchez2734 I'm running burst 2 on Rathian gloves, special boost 5, and skyward strider 2.
I've only been playing for a short time and my favorite weapon is my trusty lance or as I call it, the pig sticker. I just get more ws using it.
Nice! Glad you enjoying the game man. We need more lance mains haha!
There no worse or best IMO, bcus each people have their own best playstyle..for me i build greatsword and bow, because i like 1 hit charge massive damage rather than atk speed
I just want my CB and GL in the game. SnS is serviceable though, and lance feels fun. Shield weapons are just fun in the overall series.
As someone who used each weapon a hundred times just to unlock medals, my take for each...
SnS = A really good and versatile weapon, that leaves you with little to no regret, the only downside for me is the number of taps on the screen.
DB = I only used this for a quick kill while having 80% area focus or while walking leaving 20% focus in game, just by swipping left or right nonstop while in demon mode.
GS = the most less attractive weapon for me.
LS = It does everything for me from cutting tails to serious fight.
Hammer is my 2nd favored weapon after LS until...
Lance, I almost favored this weapon over the others including, until I used it on certain monsters with a 2 star gap like black diablos, zinogre and azure rathalos.
Light Bowgun and Bow, while still having a poor set and not having any elemental advantages these weapons can get the job done really fast, safe, simple and easy, giving me a dilemma to invest in armors that have focus, reloads and recoils. I favor the Bow more but i just can't ignore the potential of light bowgun.
Waw its rare to see someone favor the hammer! Thanks for sharing your thoughts man!
For some reason my bow with more dps than my LBG does by faaaar less dmg and I can not dogde while charging like you do in this video.
You have to let go of your finger when you dodge
@@PauwerPlays Well when I do that, my charge stops and my char shoots.
@SweetyGirly88 after you do a charge dodge you cannot charge again. So its best to dodge after 2 charges
I main the light bow gun and I use it because I find it fun compared to the others
For me the hammer is my main because i like the heavy and powerfull feel you get
Lance is good for solo play if the monster attack rate is high enough.
Yep as i get used to the timings lance is not so bad
Ehhh, I wouldn’t rank LS that high cuz since it relies on counters, it highly depends on how cooperative the game’s lag spikes are lmao. One badly timed spike and you’re losing your whole health bar for something outside of your control
Does anybody knows if Vmos pro + Fake Gps are still working?
🤔 test on new account with an alt phone
ok, thanks ill try that.@@Zypherfox1
For me as a bow-main the only hard monster is zinogre cause hunt-a-thons suck hard and the ranged-weak-spot of zinogre is so damn tiny....😅
but i'm happy though cause today my first WGS dropped just after my 5th or 6th ever killed 8*💪🔥😁 think that drained all my luck of this year😂😂😂😂
@florianl6300 this is the beginning of a very lucky year for you.
Its gonna be a while before you see another wgs haha!
@@tomblebadil hope so😄
I will not have this Lance slander haha it's definitely better than GS and the hammer. Forging a lance has been quite game changing for me since it helps me hunt Diablos, Titziyaku and Odogaron much easier, aside from that I just mainly use Bow and LS for other large monsters.
Your argument about the sun, lag and being outside applies to all the weapons, you know? Not only the Lance, or are you performing perfect dodges with the longsword without even looking?
It hurts lance even more when you fail to perfect guard since you get chip damage. When you fail to perfect dodge, you still get to dodge the attack without taking any chip.
Uhm idk about that. I just seen a grade 5/1 beat a 8⭐️ great Jargas… lance is one of the best for sure
If you perfect guard everything, its a good weapon but if not, you just take too much chip
@@PauwerPlays well not all weapons are easy to use like bow… the chip is not that bad
as a gs main i can confirm i get hit 90% of the time while trying to charge
Struggles of a gs main haha
Is lance the worst weapon? Probably. I don’t think it’s as bad as people say it is though. Chip and low damage can be can be fixed semi resolved by resentment. The best build imo is radobaan helm and greaves, black diablos chest, rathian gloves, and diablos waist. You could swap the waist and gloves for black diablos waist for lockon and then use the banbaro gloves for additional offensive guard and tremor resistance but at the cost of burst which doesn’t proc that much with lance
Burst is not advisable for lance. Resentment is not worth the chip unless you max it out. The best builds for lance is max offensive guard or max elemental damage with lvl3 guard from radobaan pieces
SnS is s tier in the early game. Esp when you make elemental sets. It falls off hard around the end of the 8 star story.
Hammer you do not want to spam charge attacks. For the reasons you listed. Triple pound is your bread and butter. Charging is for closing gaps with C2 (or for large window punishes with C3)
DPS wise: Bow and LS are at the top. Hammer, GS, and DBs are in the middle. SnS, LBG, and Lance are at the bottom.
I think sns deserves to be in the middle for dps better than the hammer imo
Having dabbled in hammer and sns til G7 hammer feels like more dps but not by much.
Subscribe because I like the Lance Every Chip damage Counts my Brother A little Love touch with hunts doesn't hurt my heart.
Only diablos love touch hurts so good 😂
i just started to play the game a few days ago and i really like the bow. using it feels so much smother then the bowgun
Nice! Better to start investing in the best weapon in the game. Lets hope it wont get nerfed haha!
@@PauwerPlays what should we forge?, we didnt have black diablos bow?
@hollydie2281 the easiest build you can do is a diablos Bow and have focus maxed out. Its just pure damage and can kill all monsters.
I will on my Bonk Way... Even Its so hard in MHnow
Long sword my favorite 😍
I was hoping you were gunna go through the best Weapons for each one. :(
I know why LS is not best in the heart of player(minimum smart phone). It because lag......
Para SnS g 10 kills all the 9 stars. Everything 10 star needs perfect Everything and their Elemental weakness at least G10 4/5. So good luck. The end game is real af. 9 kulu is harder to kill than most 9s under Anjanath so I just leave it alone. Idk what to do against 10star kulu and beyond. I guess i shoulda made bow instead of making 3 G10 SnS weapons being girros, jyuratodus, and rathian and a few G9 of other stuff. Need to preserve those red gems lol.
For greatsword: Girros. just Girros. just paralyze, then charge up.
I feel like this list heavily weighs safety/ease of use over damage potential. The most obvious examples of this are the placements of SnS and LBG which are safe and easy to use but pale in damage compared to many of the others. Which is fine but could probably be stated/acknowledged somewhere.
For a list that values damage potential more evenly, I would drop SnS/LBG down at least one tier and bump up DB/GS. DB in particular has fantastic damage potential with either Burst 5 or Ele ATK 5 builds on par with Bow/LS. I think the number one mistake people make with DB is not utilizing the backwards dodge in Demon Mode which has excellent i-frames. Demon Flurry Rush should be used to reposition while maintaining Burst and avoid hitboxes completely, and only used to i-frame if you are 100% confident in your ability to perfect dodge that attack. Most JP tier lists are placing DB on par with LS, with both just below Bow which we all know is OP.
Greatsword for life
my best weapon is sword and shield
Sns is so good in mhnow!
Lance is the best weapon because i main it!
Well... except for fighting barroth bow is good...
That mud is really annoying to remove haha!
@@PauwerPlays not only that... the target is that tiny moving hand... with a piercing bow... any tips to consistently kill it?
Honestly don’t even bother aiming it’s weak spot. Goal is to remove the mud from it as quickly as possible so it takes more damage. You won’t get part breaks but who the hell needs barroth parts anyway
Swag axe is S
Being able to block a roar with a shield makes no sense whatsoever
It's the shock wave you block 🤣
But funny enough the skill to negate roars is called earplugs 😂😂
@@PauwerPlays not arguing over its use or utility just the idea that you can block a roar with a shield yet somehow range players super far away are still affected by roar makes no logical sense
@@PauwerPlays if it was the shockwave the animation shouldn't be acting like it's too loud 😂
@Panzer_Z yep! I didnt understand your comment at first my bad! 😅
I think long sword and dual blade is in the same category of high risk high reward. Both weapons are S tier in the hand of skilled player, but B tier in the hand of unskilled player.
True but i think LS edges DB because it has the counter and it gets rewarded with a lot of damage for it
i think DBs is better than LS imo.
Greatsword=best
All other weapons = 🗑️
😌
Great sword hits different when you those massive numbers
And yet, hammer got nerfed...so stupid.
LBG is such a trash tier weapon. They nerfed it to utter garbage. It does so little damage and has no value. What a waste. It's hopeless.
LBG main here
Drop reload use Element 5, learn to dodge and you are fine.
Still sucks in Mobs like Kulu or Radobaan since nerf, but before that this was anyhow the stronger build.
BS Greatsword is stronger than bow.
are you out of you're mind ?
@@rasenkin9607 Without the Black Diablos bow, I can truly say that. GS has the highest potential to outplay and deal an insane level of damage but you just have to be insanely good.
7:40
"High risk, High reward is the name of the game"
>proceeds to rank db below sns
I agree with alot of takes but that was too contradictory
What i meant was, dual blades makes the game high risk. So its not that good when potions are limited. Apologies for the confusion
