Recommended weapon of the MH:World
Hi I’m shiro. I have played the monster hunter series since MH3G was released in Japan and I’m looking forward to MH:world also. I played its Beta test and I found a weapon which I want to recommend for MHW beginners and starters.
The weapon is hammer.
Strength of the hammer
*Its moveset is simple and easier to learn than other weapons (ex. Gunlance or Charge blade).
*Self-reinforced way is easy. It’s only charge.
*It makes monsters stun and take their stamina easily.
Weakness of the hammer
*You may blow your teammates off by its some actions on online play, like upswing. You need to take care around if you play with them.
*It is unable to cut monsters’ tail because it is a blunt weapon. You need to find alternative ways (strip materials or ask your companions to cut it.. ) if you want it.
*Some monsters don’t get fatigue. For example, Elder dragons don’t get fatigue therefore you cannot take their stamina unfortunately.
Basic moveset and combos
*Charge attack(keep pressing R2 and release)
–Charge(Lv1)
Charged side blow and charged follow up(adding pressing triangle)
–Charge(Lv2)
Charged brutal upswing
–Charge(Lv3)
(just releasing R2) Charged big bang
(L stick & triangle) spinning bludgeon
*Triangle with hitting 3 times in a row
Over head smash1 -> Over head smash2 -> upswing
*Circle with hitting 5 times in a row
Big bang1 -> Big bang2 -> Big bang3 -> Big bang4 -> big bang finisher
New action [Power charge]
You can do [Power charge] by hitting circle while you are charging. Its buff effects are ..
*Added 7% plus damage point
*Some actions’ movements are changed, charge Lv2, Lv3 and so on.
*Super armer is added.
*It’s discharged when you put your hammer back or are knocked down by a monsters’ attack.
I think we should use it as much as possible we can because It gives powerful buff.
A playing movie of the hammer
I introduce a hammer expert’s playing movie (It’s not my playing movie). I appriciate him(*’▽’)
1:02-
(Combo)
Power charge -> Charge Lv1 -> triangle (3 times in a row) -> Charge Lv1 -> triangle ->dodge ->circle(5 times in a row)
1:38-
(Combo)
Charge Lv1(stopped the 1st blow) -> Left stick & triangle(Side smash) -> circle(5 times in a row)
Giving a combo to paralyzed Rathalos, The side smash which can be drawn quickly, It’s useful.
2:11-2:16
Special charged big bang after the power charge
2:42-
Delaying Charge Lv1 attack, The most of the hammer’s attacks accept delaying button inputs. It would make your fighting more flexible.
3:53-
The circle 5 times combo looks like the easiest way when monsters fall down.
I think the hammer is one of good weapons to learn basic playing of the MH world ( ‘ω’)b
