Part 3. What is the Best Monster Hunter Now Weapon?
Players often wonder what is the Best Monster Hunter Now weapon that they should use to defeat monsters. The short answer is that it depends on your play style and the monsters you face. Here is a breakdown of the Monster Hunter Now weapons and their best use cases:
1. Best Overall Weapons: Long Sword, Sword and Shield
As far as sheer usefulness is concerned the Sword and Shield is the perfect weapon that offers both offensive and defensive capabilities. Despite being available from the start this weapon combo can defeat powerful monsters. Long Sword on the other hand is a precise weapon that can deal a lot of damage to the enemies. Long Sword also has a special Spirit Guage that amplifies attack damage making it ideal for taking down monsters while staying out of their attack range.
2. Best Melee Weapons for High Damage: Great Sword, Hammer
When it comes to the top Melee weapons the Great Sword and the Hammer are the best high-damage weapons in Monster Hunter Now. The true charged attack from The Great Sword is one of the highest damage attacks in the game.
Hammer on the other hand is a blunt melee weapon in MH Now with a special Spinning Bludgeon attack that deals continuous damage.
3. Best Fast-Attack Melee Weapons: Dual Blades, Insect Glaive
If you like fast-paced gameplay then you will love the Dual Blades due to their high mobility and the ability to launch fast attacks on monsters. This weapon also comes with a Demon Mode that enhances the speed and effectiveness of the attacks.
Insect Glaive is one of the newer weapons in MH Now it requires some practice to master it. It is a double-ended weapon ideal for quick attacks and it also has a Kinsect which is an insect-like creature that you can unleash on the monsters to drain their essence.
4. Best Defensive Melee Weapons: Lance, Gunlance
If you prefer a more defensive play style then the Lance and the Gunlance are both ideal for you. If you prefer a shield then the regular Lance would work just fine for you. You can quickly attack the monsters and get behind the safety of your shield.
If you like to go guns blazing and looking for a weapon that lets you do a lot of damage to the monster then the Gunlance brings firepower to the lance. You can stay clear of all enemy attacks while shooting the monsters until they are defeated.
5. Best Ranged Weapons: Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Bow
The Bow style weapons in MH Now are the best-ranged weapons you can get. You get three types of ranged weapons including Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, and the Bow all of which are great for both medium and long-range fights with monsters.
6. Best Support Weapons: Hunting Horn
The Hunting Horn is a support weapon with similar attacks to the Hammer. It is often considered a weaker version of The Hammer and since it is available in the original Monster Hunter game it is yet to be released in MH Now.
7. Best for Beginners: Sword and Shield, Light Bowgun
The Sword and Shield is the best weapon for beginners hands down because it is available from the beginning. However, as soon as you reach level 15 and complete Chapter 2 part 3 you will have access to Bowgun which will allow you to try a more long-range play style.
