Welcome to the new hunters who are making their Monster Hunter debut from Monster Hunter Wilds!
It may be obvious to those who have experienced the series, but the first hurdle for beginners is
“There are too many weapons and I don’t know which one to choose.”
- There are 14 types
- Many operating instructions
- Looks strong but difficult
It’s fun to choose based on appearance, but
If the controls are too difficult and you can’t keep up with the hunt, your motivation will drop instantly.
So in this article,
- Simple operation
- Easy to recover even if you make a mistake
- Easy to use both solo and multiplayer
With these three points in mind, we have carefully selected three weapons that are truly recommended for beginners.
Criteria for choosing weapons for beginners
First, I will briefly explain why there are these three.
Beginners tend to stumble
- Big preference after attack
- Slow evasion
- Can’t afford to recover
This is a point.
Therefore, this time,
- High mobility
- Easy to defend/evade
- You can fight at least without learning the operations
.
1. One-handed sword (No.1 in stability/strongest for beginners)
It may look plain, but
The most complete weapon for beginners is the one-handed sword.
Why one-handed swords are suitable for beginners
- You can use items with your weapon out
→ You can use recovery medicine immediately, so your survivability is on a whole new level - Can be blocked with a shield
→ Damage can be reduced even if evasion is not in time - Less chance of attack
→ Less chance of accident even if greedy
In particular, being able to recover without putting away your weapon is a
greater advantage than you might imagine for beginners.
Recommended for these people
- I don’t like action games
- I don’t want to die anyway
- First of all, I want to get used to Monster Hunter
“If you’re not sure what to use, just use a one-handed sword.”
This is a strong point that can be said throughout the series.
2. Twin swords (No.1 exhilaration/fun to move)
“It’s just fun to move!”
That’s the biggest appeal of the twin swords.
Characteristics of the twin swords
- Change into a demon and attack continuously
- Easy step avoidance
- You can adjust your position while attacking
The controls themselves are simple, and
You can fight just by pressing the buttons.
Notes (honestly for beginners)
- Requires stamina management
- If you’re greedy, you’re likely to get hit
However,
It is also a weapon that is easy to learn the feeling of “dodging while attacking”.
Recommended for these people
- I like the sense of speed
- I want to perform consecutive attacks like in anime
- I want to play offensively
“It’s fun to look at” “It feels good to use”
If this feeling continues, you will naturally improve.
3. Light bowgun (No. 1 in safety and easy to observe)
“I’m afraid to get close to the enemy”
“I’m not good at operating the camera”
The light bowgun is recommended for such people.
Strengths of the light bowgun
- Attack safely from a distance
- You can see the whole monster
- Easy to remember attack patterns
You can avoid the
problem of not knowing what is going on, which is common among beginners.
Know the disadvantages
- It costs zenny to replenish bullets
- Equipment management is a little troublesome
However,
High survival rate and stability are top class.
Recommended for these people
- Anxiety about action
- I want to fight carefully
- Many solo plays
Weapons that beginners should avoid (at first)
Don’t get me wrong,
It’s not a “weak weapon”.
However, if a beginner chooses first,
- Large amount of operation
- Timing is critical
- Mistake = instant hit
There are some weapons that are easy to become.
For example,
- Tachi (counter premise)
- Charge Ax
- Insect fuck stick
It’s not too late to get used to these.
Summary: The first one is “a weapon that allows you to survive easily”
The most important thing for beginners is
“Accumulating experience of successful hunting”
It is.
- Focus on stability → One-handed sword
- Pleasure is important → Double sword
- Safety-oriented → Light Bowgun
If you choose from these three options,
You will be less likely to quit because it was too difficult.
Once you get used to it,
The real thrill of Monster Hunter is to try your hand at other weapons.
First of all, choose one
weapon that you can continue with and enjoy your hunting life.
