Hi guys! Today I will discuss the remaining weapons not covered in Part 1

6. Hunting Horn (HH)



Pros : HH is able to support party members by applying beneficial buffs (different HH has different buffs) to everyone such as attack up, affinity up and many more. In addition, certain HH can also heal everyone which saves up the amount of potion used and increased sustainability for the party since in much later hunts there will be multiple monsters appearing in a hunt. HH, like Hammer, can also apply KO status effect on monsters which creates more space for the party to deal damage. HH is indispensable in 12 man raids (such as Shen Gaoren) since the buffs/heals now applies to even more people (even higher value!). Not forgetting the incredible HH ultimate which can make monsters stumble and fall thereby creating even more opportunity for everyone to DPS.

Cons: HH has a very low damage output since most of the time players have to be focused on rebuffing and healing the whole party. Also, HH is extremely hard to run solo hunts such as Monoblos and Shattered Monoblos since it is a party reliant weapon. HH might be expensive for new players since different HH has different buffs and a good HH user needs to be able to wield the correct HH depending on hunt that the party is going for.

Conclusion : HH is suitable for players who seeks for party play and likes supporting the party. It is advisable to run HH as main weapon and craft a secondary weapon for solo plays or completing achievements.

7. Lance















Pros : Lance is able to dish out damage to monsters without worrying much about dodging monsters' attacks.(Of course, simple evading is still needed) After damaging monsters, players are able to enter guard mode almost instantly to start blocking monsters' counterattacks. Lance has a charging move set making its mobility very high when pitting against fast monsters which moves around often.

Cons : Lance players damage output are not top tier and the guard has to be further enhanced by armour skills in order to block even stronger attacks. Not recommended for players who likes fast paced weapons. Thus, the difficulty level of mastering Lance is much higher than the rest of the weapons.

Conclusion : Lance generally has better mobility than its counterpart, Gun Lance. However, Gun Lance has higher damage output than Lance due to wyvern fire. Thus, the choice of Lance and Gun Lance differs only between better mobility (Lance) or better damage output (Gun Lance)

8. Gun Lance















Pros : Higher damage output compared to Lance due to wyvern fire. Gun Lance, as the name implies, has an in built gun inside which allows players to shoot using bullets instead of the normal Lance pierce attack. Gun Lance can also block like Lance which allows players to attack at melee range without worrying much about dodging monsters' counterattacks. (Of course, simple evading is still needed)

Cons : Gun Lance has lower mobility as compared to Lance. It has a slight disadvantage while fighting fast monsters. Thus, the difficulty level of mastering Gun Lance is much higher than the rest of the weapons.

9. Bowgun (BG)















Pros : One of the two ranged weapons in MHO as of now. Ranged weapons generally have better damage windows since monsters' melee ranged attacks are not going to reach BG players. BG can be further classified under charged shot BG or rapid fire BG which open up to more play styles to players. In early stages, ranged players can save on crafting early game armours while only relying on the starting armour to reach the HR armours. In addition, BG is much more user friendly as compared to other MH series since mouse is used to aim.

Cons : Every bullets other than the default one requires materials to craft especially for hunts that takes very long. Since bullets have a carrying capacity limit, players are required to bring in materials and craft bullets to continue dishing out damage output to monsters. Furthermore, materials to craft bullets are fairly expensive and hard to obtain which is not economically friendly to new player. Ranged armour has lesser defense than Blademaster armour which means that a single heavy blow from monsters is enough to incapacitated you.

Conclusion : BG is fairly expensive to main for a new player. Thus, be prepared to spend silvers and golds to fund for BG. It is recommended for players who are good in FPS and likes to stay far away dealing damage to monsters. It is recommended to at least take up one range weapon for versatility.

10. Bow















Pros : Bow is a much cheaper weapon to fund since the arrows are infinite and the arrows deal way more damage than a default bullet BG. Bow has a variety of choices from long ranged (Pierce bow) to medium ranged (Rapid bow) to short ranged (Spread Bow), each having its own advantages and disadvantages. Bow relies on applying coatings onto their arrows (power for damage, sleep/poison/para for status etc) to provide different effects. Bow also has charge shot which opens out to even more move sets.

Cons : The aiming system of bow might not be that user friendly as compared to BG. Coatings will take up a number of space in your inventory as compared to melee weapon players. In addition, similar to BG, materials are needed to be brought in to craft for more coatings. Ranged armour has lesser defense than Blademaster armour which means that a single heavy blow from monsters is enough to incapacitated you.

Conclusion : Bow is suitable for players who prefer to play range weapon and at the same time not willing to spend too much silvers or gold. Bow, as compared to BG, has more move sets which will be less mundane than playing BG. It is recommended to at least take up one range weapon for versatility.


That's all for the introduction to weapons. I hope you guys find these little information useful! Happy Hunting!

Hi guys, today I shall touch on one of the most frequently asked questions by new players when playing Monster Hunter Online, "Which weapon should I go for?"

One of the key features of Monster Hunter Online is the wide variety of weapons available for players to use for hunts. It is definitely possible for players to use all types of weapons. However, due to the high cost of crafting/upgrading weapons and the limited amount of ways to earn silvers and gold , it is rather difficult for new players to possess different types of end-game tier weapons in a short amount of time. I would strongly recommend new players to find a suitable type of weapon and get it to end-game tier before switching to other weapons. Below, I will touch on 5 of the 10 weapons and the rest on the next part.

1. Sword and Shield (SnS)


Pros : SnS is one of the two weapons that has the fastest attack speed (the other one being Dual Sword). SnS is able to disengage and engage the monsters perfectly which makes it able to strike the monsters when there is open opportunity and avoid the monsters' attack agilely. The shield is able to block monsters' incoming roar and wind pressure (with precise timing) preventing you entering knock back status which makes you vulnerable to monsters' attack. SnS works best with elemental attribute and status attribute since it can dish out many hits in a given amount of time as compared to other slow weapon. 

Cons : There is a need to craft many different types of elemental/status SnS (to counter corresponding monsters) which can pose a problem to new players. In addition, due to a nerf in SnS move set previously, SnS is unable to dish out constant damage to the monsters as compared to its Dual Sword counterpart. Great Sword, Lance and Gun Lance are also able to block like SnS does and can even block better than SnS. 

Conclusion : SnS users have seen a sharp decline in hunts. I would recommend new players who likes fast paced weapons to go for Dual Sword while players who likes weapons with blocking mechanism to go for Great Sword, Lance or Gun Lance. 

2. Dual Sword (DS)

Pros : DS has the fastest attack speed among all the weapons (fast in normal attacks and extremely fast in Demon Mode). DS has high mobility and is able to disengage and engage monsters well. In addition, DS evading strike (Space Bar only when Demon Gauge has been locked before otherwise Space Bar would be a normal tumble) has higher I-Frame compared to normal tumble which makes it able to dodge attacks when time perfectly (according to my personal experience). Works great with elemental/status attribute like SnS.

Cons : There is a need to craft many different types of elemental/status DS which may pose a problem to new players. Another setback DS has is that its move set has long animations which means that players are vulnerable to monsters attack during that period of time. Players have to be familiar with the monsters attack pattern and find the perfect opportunity to dish out combos otherwise they will be severely punished from the monsters' counterattacks.

Conclusion : DS suits players who prefers fast attack speed weapons and able to dish out different move sets. DS is more on a full offensive play style compared to the SnS.

3. Long Sword a.k.a Taichi (LS)

Pros : LS has relatively fast attack speed with good move sets to evade and strike at the same time. LS is much more easier in tackling monsters' tail compared to SnS and DS (short length). LS is a more versatile weapon whereby it is okay to go for elemental/status attribute LS or even raw damage LS. Also the relatively long attack range allows you to be able to have more room to react to monsters attack and dodge them accordingly. 

Cons: LS, in my opinion, is more like a jack of all trades, master of none weapon. For example, in terms of dealing elemental/status attribute, SnS and DS will definitely outshine LS. In terms of dealing raw damage output, Great Sword, Hammer, Bowgun, Bow, Gun Lance, Lance, can do better damage output. 

Conclusion : Despite LS being master of none, Tencent has always been buffing LS to be on par with other weapons in terms of damage output and implement better move sets combo for LS. In addition, LS is a easy weapon to master and suits new players excellently.

4. Great Sword (GS)

Pros : GS has one of the highest damage per hit (with full charge) among all weapons which can easily flinch monsters to disrupt their deadly attacks. In addition, GS can break monsters part easily due to the high damage dealt. GS has the ability to blocks certain attacks which allows players to focus more on counterattacks rather than spending time in dodging the attacks. Also, players only need to focus on high raw damage for GS which can be cost saving compared to other fast weapons such as SnS, DS, LS.

Cons : GS is a very slow weapon and the mobility of the users are very low. Thus, when facing fast monsters, players will face difficulties landing full charge attack (unable to move when charging) on monsters. Elemental/Status attribute does not work well in GS. High level of mastery and knowledge of monsters' attack pattern is required to use GS. In addition, since charge attacks deal the most damage output, other move sets are often not used which may become mundane for some who likes to dish out different types of move sets.

Conclusion : GS is recommended for players who likes high damage and are not afraid of the mundane skill sets. Also recommended for players who prefers offensive play styles.

5. Hammer

Pros : One of the key features of Hammer is that it is able to land monsters into KO status when focusing hits on monsters' head. It is extremely crucial against fast monsters as the monsters can be focused fired during KO status. Also, Hammer is able to charge attacks while walking (consume stamina) unlike GS. Hammer can break monsters' parts easily which can be effective against monsters such as Akura Vashimu. Raw damage Hammer is often used which means that it is cheaper to craft compared to SnS, DS, LS.

Cons : Hammer is unable to cut tails unlike the cut type weapons as they are classified as impact type weapons. Mobility of Hammer is relatively slow and some move sets have high animation which makes players vulnerable to monsters' attacks. Hammer's short range also means that players have to get very close to monsters in order to damage them which has higher chance of getting hit compared to longer range melee weapons.

Conclusion : Hammer is a great weapon to have in hunts as it can land monsters into KO status to create more free space to damage monsters. Also, breaking parts easily allows players to collect the materials more efficiently. Hammer is economically good for new players as players can focus on only upgrading a single high raw damage hammer rather than having to craft different types of hammers.

That's all for now! Stay tuned to Part 2 for the remaining weapons! Happy Hunting!

This guide was submitted by one of our guild members by the name of Newnar Zhou. Credit goes to him. He will be explaining about how affinity/critical works in this game.

1) Affinity Level or 会心等级 =/= critical chance or 会心率. Affinity level contributes to critical chance as a 2nd degree polynomial.

2) The passive skill Affinity Up or 达人 is misleading as it directly gives critical chance instead of increasing Affinity level. However it only increases critical chance linearly.

3) Because 2nd degree polynomially increments, this results in a massively increased critical chance as compared to a linear increment. Thus Affinity Up is much weaker and contributes much less to damage output as compared to Affinity level.

4) However, Affinity level is soft-capped at around 18, because the only things that give Affinity level are your weapons (can give up to +10) and your title (can give up to +8). But even a mere Affinity Level 14 is enough to get you 21.8% critical chance. Affinity Up on the other hand is capped at Affinity +5 (you need 30 skill points of 达人 to get that, mind you), where it gives you a much lower, flat +16% to critical chance.

5) Don't look down on +10 Affinity level weapons even if they have seemingly lower raw damage numbers! Because Affinity Level contributes massively more than Affinity Up, the amount of critical chance given by the +10 Affinity level is much much higher than even a skill like Affinity Up +4! This is compounded even further when you get the +8 Affinity Level title, your +10 Affinity level weapon can contribute a whopping 20% critical chance! This is important especially to those who use weapons with relatively fast attack speeds and attack instances.

6) Conclusion, prioritize getting your Affinity level up by getting those titles and using weapons that give affinity level. Affinity Up is a really weak skill and can be ignored. You should get Attack Up or other skills to boost your damage once Affinity level 18 is reached instead of trying to achieve even higher critical chance via Affinity Up because it is an exercise in futility.

New stuffs! 
- Gender change ticket (able to change your gender and appearance)
Changes!
- New cat ticket system : Once you are incapacitated, if you choose not to revive or the timer goes off, you will be deemed permanently dead status and the hunt continues. When you are in permanently dead status, you will not receive any rewards from the quests (exp, gold, materials). However, you can keep any gathering items gathered in the hunt before you became dead status. Players who used contract system to enter hunt will lose the silver if you are in dead status. Note that for solo hunts, you will be automatically deemed as quest failure if you became dead status.
- Improves gunlance reloading time.
- Improvement to contract system. Once selected contract system for the hunt, there will be an obvious alert which alerts you that you are in contract system to prevent you from selecting the wrong options for hunt.
- Improvements to controller mode. You can now choose which buttons you want (previously it's default and cant be altered)
- Adjustments to some gunlance skills. Increase the distance travelled for forward attack, forward gun attack and back evade. Reduce the distance moved for side step evade.
- Players can now check on other players activated armour skills
Bugs Fixed!
- Fixed a rare chance whereby there will be a chance of getting stuck when using bow
- Items no longer becomes soulbound when ticked the options of crafting it to be tradeable
- Long sword 拔刀集气斩 talent works normally even after revive (previously buff is removed after revive)
- Long sword 拔刀集气斩 now displays the buff correctly
- Great sword 乾坤一击 talent now works properly with critical draw (previously there's no critical when using this talent)
- Upon re connection after a disconnect of game, cat ticket usage UI appears upon death (previously cat ticket options does not pop up for re connectors)
