Try all of them, pick the one that's most fun for you. Not the one that's "most respectable" or the one that completes missions the fastest, just the one that's most fun.
>>
You play every 1* training mission and figure out which weapon fits your individual taste and playstyle. You use that weapon, maybe pick a secondary to mix things up every now and then.

Just be aware that if you pick LS, everyone will hate you and no one will want to hunt with you.

Personally I just use what looks fun, and right now that's CB. That thing rips monsters apart. Makes capture quests a bitch, though.

I couldn't get into Monster Hunter until I just went with the standard Sword & Board.

Being all up in the monsters face (feet) rolling like a madman just made the whole thing click for me.

I also like the lance because countering is fun and makes me feel like some kind of badass.

>>283691137
Element and especially status are not good for GS. You don't deal out many hits so it'll be pretty useless.
>>
>>283691137
You don't really want status GS.

It hits too infrequently to make use of the status.
You might get the status to activate once, where as something like duals or SnS will get it to activate twice or more.

See that is exactly what I was talking about in another thread earlier.

The MH devs are stupid for making so many weapons flat out inferior to the raw options. Greatsword for example. Status GS will always be absolutely inferior.

And I don't get it. Why waste resources and time making these weapons when you don't want anyone to play with them because you make raw so much better?

Any tips for SA users? It feels really powerful, but I'm not sure how the axe/sword conversions should balance.

Element can be okay, just make sure the monster isn't resistant to it.

Status is not good for GS unfortunately. I wish they just changed how it worked for such slow weapons to make it better
>>
>>283689690
I haven't played MH seriously since FU, so I figured I'd jump in with a new weapon. I liked the CB's look and style so I went with that. Right around village 2* I thought to myself "I wish I could just draw into the overhand axe strike". And that's the story of how I found out GS is my favorite weapon.
>>
never switch manually, alway do it mid combo, if you're going to reload wait until the bar is almost fill on the middle. Dont send others flying with the axe roll attack
>>
>>283691794
I've heard hubub that due to changes in the weapon damage formula that elemental damage is more important than it was before.

But status I think is still non-important unless you're running with a team devoted to one status.

A lot of practice and learning where they jump.

Couldn't hit the damn thing if I tried.

It's not complicated at all

Just hit the monster while jumping off a ledge, either by rolling at the ledge or sprinting at it. That might knock it down and cause you to mount it.

Then there's a QTE where you hold R while the monster's flailing and mash buttons when it isn't to fill a bar up.

First, I try them all one after the other. If one seems particularly shitty, I will read a weapon guide to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Not really, I do none of that shit, I just pick the Hammer because fucking Hammer, that's why.

That's the point. If you wanna make money you have to sell potentially-useful parts.

I know LA has gotten a bad rep for years but holy shit, Cuck Blade users are tripping me more than I've ever been tripped before in 3U. Long sword users are alright this gen, it's the Cuck Bladers that are scum right now.

>>283697215
Even in 3 the SA had far more tripping potential than the LS, it's just a stupid overblown meme

I'm only a beginner and I fairly suck.

That being said, I'm having a blast with Insect Glaive and the Charge Sword (or however the fuck it's called), How are they? Not that I really care, I just ask out of curiosity
>>
>>283697215
that's weird, I've used the power attack with CB right next to someone else also using it and we didn't trip each other.
>>
>>283697189
I didn't like the design at first but it grew on me and now I kinda like it

>>283697215
The monster getting KO'd is more important than whatever shitty armorless attack you were going to use.

Fuck Rhenoplos. Worst monster in the game by far. Always fucking charging when you're in the middle f something.

>>283694469
If this is for real, I need it asap. I hope it has my favourite note combination though...
>>
>>283697478
Then why the fuck are you even playing online if you don't care about your teammates.
Fucking cancer
>>
>>283697456
It depends on the weapon. Weapons like GS are immune to any friendly fire that isn't a launch or a knockback, but a lance will be interrupted by anything.
>>
>>283697456
It has super armour.
>>
>>283697417
Both are excellent weapons. Every weapon in the game is viable but those two are extra-viable. Good choices.
>>
>>283697189
Because the verticality of the fight, i love being able to jump at the fucker in the tree's and knocking him down , very unique design and overall looks like a crack binged monkey and fox had a rape child
>>
>>283697606
>>283697624
Both excellent points, good to know.
>>
>>283697626
perfect. Now my only hope is that the insect gets more stylish and I'm sold
>>
>>283697590
I'm pretty sure the rest of the team would prefer to have the monster knocked out instead of you poking it with your lance. Do you complain when hammers golfswing you too?
>>
>>283697774
Hammers don't golfswing me because i know my fucking role and place. Only Cuckblade and LS trip me because they don't even know how to play

4U is my first Monster Hunter and I picked up the Long Sword. How screwed am I? I was between it and the dual swords.

You're fine, LS is a good beginner weapon. Just ignore the shitters and if you go online stay near the tail and try not to hit people.

Never could in the past games, never will be able to.

Her fucking retarded ass charging always fucks me up because of her leg or chin hitting me or some shit.
>>
>>283697927
why settle for one weapon? have at least two
>>
>>283697927
Just be aware that your attack can trip up other hunters, be aware of your spacing when hunting with others and aim to cut the tail if it has one.

I used it when I first picked up monster hunter as well.
>>
>>283697927
Long sword is good, but be aware of your teammates when playing online, especially lance users. Wide range if some moves cause tripping. Still good though.

you're not screwed in the slightest. It's a great weapon to learn as it reks shit regularly. also please do yourself a favor and ignore the shitposts about this weapon. this is repeated blabber by people who have no idea. I'm not even using LS but I want this meme to die. It was put into the world by butthurt lancers during monster hunter's early days.

I don't know. I don't really have trouble with any other monster. It's always Rathian.

I'm actually kind of confused about how the glaive upgrades work. Like, I've given nectar to the insect and the bar is at its maximum, now I only have to evolve it )provided I get the right materials). Does that 'upgrade' the insect and therefore the weapon as a whole?
>>
>>283697927
my first weapon in an earlier title was also the longsword. great weapon to get comfy with and very versatile as it reaches high and wide if needed. I haven't actually played it myself since my MHFU days so the new stuff they added in during 3rd and 4th gen are really interesting to me. definitely gonna give it another swirl in mh4u
>>
>>283697927
LS gets shit because of online shitters hitting others, making them trip

you can play however you want in offline but online you have to watch your mates

check out other weapons too
i mean, why the fuck not

>>283698018
Thanks I had no idea I could trip people online.

Speaking of online, what's a good time to get online? Should I get online as soon as I can? I just completed that first big hunting quest and just upgraded the LS to Bone.

I have no idea how online works in this game. Everyone gets his personal quest/buffs and everyone goes off adventuring together

Is the Uragaan Greatsword path good?
>>
>>283698469
Yes, but I didn't save the comparison screens
>>
I picked GS early on and im enjoying it, is it a decent weapon? i enjoy it because im usually the guy who gets the finishing blow or chops off a monsters tail or some shit

also (and this may be me) but it feels so satisfying to slash into a cratures weakspot and keep hacking at it
>>
>>283698469
Yes. Purely cosmetical (sharper textures on n3ds) and technical (stable FPS on n3ds, even with 4 players and 3D effect turned on)

source: I got both systems and have an hands on comparison
>>
>>283698469
Apparently framerate, color, & textures are improved on the N3DS

Don't go online until you at least finish low rank village. Maybe even high rank for maximum safety.
Online is just everyone doing the same quest at once, pretty simple
>>
I've been maining GS since the gore craft is my strongest weapon, but I'm confused, what's the point of GS if hammer does it better? Is it just for the limb cutting? Will a tail not fall off if you hammer it enough?
>>
I put 60 hours into the game over the course of 3 days and burnt myself out on the game already

Send help
>>
>>283698506
Online can happen whenever you feel ready, but if you're new I'd suggest going in with a group of people who are willing to help you out and cover for you as you learn.

Most people wait until they feel comfortable with their weapon and armor before jumping online since they don't want to fail a quest for others (3 strikes for all 4 players).

But online works quite like you'd expect. People bring their own weapons/buffs/items and go off hunting together.

Nope, hammers don't cut anything. They just break shit.

Hey guys, I need some help. I've done every available low rank quest, including the urgents. However, I only have a silver check mark on 6*, but no one in any village has any yellow bubbles above their heads. What do I do? I wanted to do all the low rank quests before going into high rank, but if that's not an option I can deal.

>>283698793
>Burnt out
Nigga, did you even reach G-Rank?

>>283698750
GS does cutting, Hammer does impact.
GS can cut tails, Hammers can KO.

They are like two sides of the same coin, both are slow heavy hitters, but both can do stuff the others can't.

They do work really well together though.
>>
>>283698750
GS out damages hammer, has better reach and can block.

The Charge Blade is what you'd think the Swaxe would be like
In reality the Swaxe is incredibly braindead and very easy to use. It's two weapons with no complicated things about them mashed together

>>283698848
It is one of the most simple weapons in the game

>>
>>283699170
not hard to use at all, just tedious because you need 100% uptime on red+white essence to be comparable to other weapons
>>
>>283699240
you'll get over it, eventually.

That, or you'll start shitposting to death with 'GIT GUD SCRUB'
>>
>>283690096

This is the first time I've played any decent amount of time on a MH game (I played MHFU for like 2 hours maybe). I tried out most of the weapons, but the Charge Blade just hooked me, the ability to guard and have okay mobility along with the switch to a lesser greatsword/hammer for KOs is awesome.

I also Hunting Horn for hammertime buffs.

Previously I had only used Lance and maybe SnS or LS.

>>283699115
Be happy you don't have to experience underwater combat. Also don't forget to keep upgrading your shit and crafting new armor.

You basically need to follow these steps to get gud:

1. Open your 3DS fully
2. Move your head 90° to the right
3. Slowly put your cheek onto your opened 3DS, specifically onto the facebuttons
4. Continuously wiggle your cheek, and move your head up and down repeatedly
5. Continue doing this for 5 minutes
6. ??????
7. Profit! Monster is dead! Good hunt!

Pick the weapon you think is awesome design-wise. All of them are good, some are harder to use but you can kill everything with all the types (except Sword and Shield, don't even try, waste of time).

Watch some tutorials on YT, some weapons have hidden mechanics behind them.

I can't help you with armors because that's a pure preference choice.

Also - you WILL die a lot. Get used to that and keep trying (and keep fucking dodging/blocking)
>>
>>283698674

people should stop saying this. there is a "Noob" filter when you're searching for a party and it's not like LR requires some absurd amount of skill.

just play online whenever you feel like it, try your best and have fun. who gives a shit if you accidentally trip some random and they get mad and shitpost about it?

What is the deal with Yian Kut-Ku, anyway? I'm one of those people that started with Monster Hunter Tri, so I'd never fought one until MH4U. Honestly, they just felt like generic bird wyverns with extremely basic attack patterns that, on very rare occasions, shot an extremely inaccurate fireball. It was probably the most boring hunt I've done so far.

Not that I dislike them, or anything, I just don't get where the obsession comes from.
