The TRUEST Weapon Tier List is 3 tiers: Your Main Every Weapon The one or two weapons you don't like

S tier: Boomerang SS tier: Torch SS+ tier: Binoculars

Let's be real, I am a gunlance main and I love Rurikhan's channel. Whenever someone comes on his stream and says they became a gunlance main thanks to him he often will apologize for it.

Bow? Can confirm a support weapon. Supports how fast the monster is die with best big pp dps

Why use LONG sword when you can use GREAT sword

I find you lack of appreciation of the great sword disturbing. It is the gentleman's choice for DPS.

"I would never actually suggest to someone to try out Heavy Bowgun." Me, a HBG main: "Same."

GS being called braindead is genuinely baffling to me, lining up multiple TCS in a row is the most big brain stuff in all of monster hunter

I was ready to see Lance anywhere on this tier because nobody remembers the thing exists.

'Definitely the one with the highest skill ceiling' LS Mains: Haha counter go brrrrr

"Official Capcom endorsed tier list" --> Longsword top tier --> Gunlance bottom tier Yep, seems about right to me.

These takes are so hot they transcend any form of temperature, ascended takes, sigma takes if you will

My heart broke when he put the insect glave in dauntless 😢

insect glaive gets dumpstered again 😔

"Hammer is the knockout king." *laughs in sticky ammo*

Man it's hard to see great sword as braindead when all the biggest plays I've enjoyed watching is when a GS has perfect positioning for fully charged hits

Buddy mains long sword and called half of these braindead💀

I was with you for the most part....then 19:00 happened. Now my heart is broken *pulls out Insect Glaive and flys away*

Putting switch axe in the me? Teir already makes this list the most correct

Your opinion on the Lance and Gunlance is so funny to me because I remember deciding to try a weapon other than Greatsword for the first time, tried Lance, and thought to myself "okay, this is not bad", then saw the Gunlance and thought "...but what if it went BOOM" and have been in love ever since. Literally no thoughts tho

But let's be real, nothing's honestly more Unga Bunga than the Hammer.

SuperTad: This (the hammer) is the best weapon for KO'ing monsters. Me with 20 KO's running sticky lbg:LOOK AT ME. I AM THE HAMMER NOW

As a HH main i almost switched main during rise due to the murder of its mechanics. But even then my friends say I play HH wrong, I pick horns based on what I want. I support the team by killing the monster, teammates getting buffs was just a bonus.

I rate this two longswords out of 4 hammers.

Regarding the IG (as an IG main) I completely agree with you regarding the kinsects. Especially in 4U that system was just too complex and grindy. I have to say, though, that in the fifth gen, and in particular with Rise, the kinsects upgrade system was extremely simplified. In Rise you just buy a kinsect and you’re done. No upgrades, no monster’s materials, just good ol’ money. With that, you can simply focus on choosing a kinsect for a specific hunt, without worrying about crafting and upgrading it. Also, for cutting type kinsect, the kinsect will automatically inherit the element from your glaive, and that works very well with assist type kinsects.

LS is super strong, I used it to beat lagacrust easily, it's such a weak and unlikeable water monster and by far the lowest tier monster, I think jyratodus is the best water monster it's $$$tier

He massacred my poor child Gunlance how dare you?

It hurt seeing you put the insect glaive in the “is this Dauntless?” tier as an insect glaive player (World only) but I’ve watched your history video on it and I can’t say I don’t agree with how annoying kinsects seemed before gen 5. Probably one of my biggest fears of trying out the old games but it’s more of an excuse to use some of the other weapons some more, I guess.

You lowered Hunting Horn's placing based on its Rise incarnation but then graded Insect Glaive based on its pre-Rise ones??? It's a lot more streamlined now, and pogoing off of Rakna to build up to a 600-damage dive on her face is dope and gives me the big unga bunga serotonin 😤 Signed a GenU LS Main who started seconding IG and Swaxe after grinding out the Feather of Mastery

Finally, someone appreciates Lance. Longsword mains explaining why they only play solo (They really just don’t have friends)

The only thing I might argue about is that Insect Glaive should go up a tier to "do not play" because in Rise they've taken out the upgrading of kinsects, and that seemed to be your biggest issue with the weapon. If Hunting Horn is getting docked on the tier list for getting neutered in Rise, then Glaive should get a couple points for removing that issue with the weapon.

My favourite weapon probably would be the gunlance in Generations Ultimate, with the heat gauge mechanic

Why would you be surprised with the lance? I've said it's a solid weapon. Simple, effective, and fun all in one.

Saying the gunlance is mid is cool until I deal 300 damage in an 8 second combo while sitting behind an impenetrable wall at HR 14

For LS haters Every time he says Longsword just call out your favourite weapon.

The gunlance is the most misunderstood and underrated weapon. It has incredible potential and I love it to death.

Both my mains are in "Is This Dauntless?" Super, you've just made an enemy for life because of your opinion on two weapons in a video game

I'm a gunlance main that occasionally plays bug stick... I 100% came here to hear my taste questioned.

Here is my list: SNS tier: SNS Not SNS tier: everything else

Personally my favorite weapon is the sword and shield. I absolutely love the versatility and the maneuverability you have with it. I like how well rounded it is as a weapon. While it doesn't exceed like other weapons do in specific areas, the sns is effective enough in about every situation there is. I love weaving in and out as a monster attacks to counterattack in the small openings that happen in the quicker attacks they have and I have good combos when a monster is down and vulnerable. I adore how sns is good with both status and elemental damage. While raw damage is always all you need for the hunt, I like the utility you can get from sleep or paralysis or the amount of damage that builds up from the right element or with poison or blast.

"The small minority of people that play Hunting Horn" Wait I'm not the only one?

I used to be a binocular main in 3u, but since World put an ungodly amount of hours into mastering the capture net

You can like the Trip Sword all you want, but don't try and tell me that it has the highest skill ceiling. That title belongs to the Great Sword, I will accept no arguments

I agree with your assessment of the Hunting Horn changes. I used to main HH, but it’s a completely different weapon now. It took me a while to put aside my hurt feelings, but once I did, I found the new HH to be fun in its own way. It might be just a beat stick now, but maybe that’s okay. That being said, Charge Blade is objectively one of the most versatile weapons with the ability to KO monsters and cut tails without settling into a niche play style.

pov: long sword main discusses how every other weapon is bad because they arent easy to use

8:52 "Dual blades are so fast and fluid" Me, a DB main: *laughs in being locked into blade dance while the monster is now 5 kilometers away*

the monhun drone: pick longsword, stack crit and attack, go fight teostra multiple times

Fun fact : I started the series with MH3 on Wii, and was so amazed by the coolness of the medium bowgun character in the box manual (RIP manuals we read for hours) that I just played the whole game with the ludroth cap maxed out just for the style, despite it quickly becoming shit in comparison to other equipement, and wrecking the combo bonus of my other updated stuff. Seeing this character 1 second back on the screen just reminded me of this "Woah a cool guy with a cool gun" I experienced as a kid, and I wanted to share it x)

If long sword is so good then why didn't they make a long sword 2?

When I picked up HH as my second weapon (after bow) in MH3U, I thought it had a steep learning curve due to to amount of note combinations for each 4-7 songs. I was a corner-horn for awhile because I felt I had to memorize each song, but you really only need 2 or 3 if you have a utility song (cold/heat cancel). Now I'm actively able to hit the monsters but trying to learn monster patterns while trying to remember all the songs I think is what causes new HH players to play like I did

the amount of times i’ve tried to get a 1k plus damage combo with my hammer on a knocked monster and a long sword user comes over and messes me up just by trynna fill there gauge is insane

I got into the series because of the Insect Glaive :3 I loved having this pet companion on my arm who helped me. It felt like a pet friend you cant lose. I honestly loved the introcacy of the kinsect, too. I experimented a lot with them and used them sooo much, because I was afraid to go near the monsters for a while. I also enjoyed being able to get a good look at the monster while getting my three buffs. I was fascinated with the many options you had. I loved leveling the kinsect up to see what it evolved into next. The embarressing but funny part about that story is, that i didn't figure out the jumping mechanic until the G rank. And my mind was blown. Because suddendly I was the one mounting all the time. And i really loved that. I remember being really bummed in generations when everybody got the aerial fight style and i lost my mounting privileges to dualblades and bows a lot. It made me nearly quit because I couldnt reliable do the coolest thing in the game anymore. In rise it got a lot better for me, as the one dealing the blow that makes the monster rideable is not automatically the one who gets to mount it. (Also the cute spiders, they are awesome.) But I was sad about the Kinsects. They were just something you'd buy. And lots of them were gone until Sunbreak. I could not change their stats. The kinsects i really liked before were now no longer fitted for my playstyle. That really was a bummer. But i just stubbornly played more until i got the hang of using my favourites again. I think IG is as easy to learn as ever. You can spam combos in any order, you can jump to evade, you can jump to chase, jump to attack and can either ignore the kinsect by using an auto attacking one or use the faster ones to attack from a distance to catch a little break before getting back into combo world. Personally, the Insect Glaive and the dual blades have the most visually fascinating combat with their fluid moves and general speed. but the glaive will always win my heart because of mobility and little bug friend :3

Sns main whose recently taken up LS, thanks to Dear Gamer. He was right in saying that it feels like you’re dancing with the monster when using LS. DB is another weapon I’m looking forward to using more. I also use GS. Love the weapon and it’s dmg output but I tend to like the faster weapons.

Did you play MHGU's Valor HBG, it's one of the best weapons imo (and probably the most OP mainline serires weapon :)). I usually prefer HBG to LBG because mobility of HBG makes it less boring because you need to concentrate more and make more attention at how you move.

Agree with Charge Blade's position .... it's satisfying

I love Gunlance, but I 100% agree that shelling being underpowered as all hell is the worst part of the weapon, and it's only been getting worse with time. Shelling damage just needs to be completely reworked to be based on a weapon's raw instead of a fixed amount determined by a level. Also for the love of god add elemental/status shells

I started using hunting horn as my main weapon in world. Then rise came along and crushed my enjoyment of the weapon.

Me a gunlance main: well.. you see… you long sword players can be a bit thirsty for damage but I have to save you every time fatalis uses his flame and I have to jump infront and block it

What seems very interesting to me in alot of the tier lists is that Lance is consistently ranked fairly high and yet it consistently ranks fairly low in usage. True it seems like there are very few people that main it but not alot of people actively hate the weapon. Loved the video!

I 100% agree with the HBG take. I just couldn’t find the fun in spamming RT/ZR until the monster dies

Gotta love me a good (OBJECTIVELY) tier list. Eyup.

Him: longsword mains are nice Longsword mains: hits teammate five times

It may seem kinda lame, but I like the IG in older gens because of the Kinsect. It's a living creature, so it feels like it would need nectars and stuff to get stronger. That's why I was surprised when you could just buy Kinsects in Rise.

You will be rewarded handsomely for having IG in 4U by having your hands on one of the top 2 highest damage weapons in that game. Seriously, IG was op in 4U. One of, if not the only weapon that made Capcom so scared that they nerfed a weapon.

I just bought Rise, I'm 60 hours in and I haven't touched a weapon that isn't a switch axe

I was ready to send you a bunch curses but then I saw Hammer that high in the tier list coming from LS main. Very good! You are learning.

I immediately realized this is more of a personal list, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I fell in love with Insect glaive going into World from Freedom Unite, but then I got tired of kinsect uptime. My personal fun for the weapon died pretty fast because the kinsect felt more like a chore since it felt mandatory to keep up DPS. You can arguably say the same thing for my favorite weapon of all time, charge blade, but a reward for whipping out a ultra that KOs the monster feels like a huge nut rather than upkeeping a red kinsect moveset upgrade.

For me the most satisfying thing for me is landing a hit with a great sword and flinching, or breaking a part of a monster while the monster is in the middle of an attack,

Gunlance user here, I agree with you when it comes to shelling. It's an absolute shame that the most damaging way to use the weapon is forgoing it's main feature.

Catch me groovin' along with my hammer, switch axe and charge blade.

I'd be offended that you put my main in the bottom tier, but honestly I love my beautiful kinsect children too much to care

As a hunting horn main I do agree with some points you made particularly the way rise changes the weapon to be more simple, I liked the way it was challenging and complex to use. Great video can’t wait to see more in the feature

I like where you put the dual blades. And ill take this tier list even though i disagree with everything else because i like where you put the dual blades.

List of MH weapons: Longsword, Longsword but bigger, Longsword but smaller with two of them, small Longsword and shield, slim flying Longsword, axe that turns into a Longsword, Longsword that turns into an axe, Longsword with music, blunt Longsword, Lancesword, Gunsword, Longbow(???), actual guns

I got it, you look like Aron, “I was like who tf does he LOOK like”

Thinking about it, insect glaive actually could just be a glaive without the kinsect and would still be just as balanced since getting the buffs takes 3 seconds, but I dont understand how that can ruin a weapon that hard for someone

>Insert long intricate roast about how he wants monsters to "have a taste of his long sword"

he forgot the kick. the kick is best weapon

LMAO I was a bit confused about the "me? Gronggigas" tier.... top tier reference

Out of all of them, I’d say heavy bow gun is the one weapon I just can’t for the life of me get into. I’ve tried and tried and just couldn’t have fun with it.

As a insect glaive main I am disappointed

Switch Axe has been really fun since World, I've been using the Axe mode a lot more often simply because how fluid they made the transformation mechanic compared to its introduction.

Always nice to hear from my Rad man. I respect your opinions and I don’t want to get roasted on Twitter.

Was laughing when you put both my mains in bottom tier XD Not sure how you couldn't love a full burst combo with a normal GL and artillery 5. A blessed weapon. Iceborne made it even better with the doubled shots from the slinger ammo. Absolutely bonkers damage output.

it's funny that the support weapons are the strongest weapons in rise (except ls)

Long sword, small long swords, wide long sword, small long sword with shield, long sword with axe attached, long sword with axe and shield, teeny long sword on stick with bug, blunt long sword, musical blunt long sword, shooty long sword, semi automatic shooty long sword, big semi automatic shooty long sword, pokey long sword, shooty pokey long sword.

Lance validation, I am proud to be a lance main from gen 4-5

I have been trying really hard to enjoy other weapons as well but sns is just too good. Its huge variety of moves often leaves me with the impression that other weapons are basically just spamming 1-3 moves and that's it. Also the great mobility and possibility to use items instantly is something you don't appreciate until you loose it. And you don't need to deal with any kind of charging or preparation. Your weapon is ready the moment you draw your sword. The only disadvantage is its short reach which on the other hand makes the hunt to feel more personal. My only regret is the poor balance that turned it into Shield and Sword/fast hammer. Spamming Shield Bash combo followed by Spinning Reaper and Metsu every now and then isn't playstyle I personally enjoy and would love to see some improvements in the Master Rank to bring sword on pair with the shield. Hopefuly elemental damage overall will see some improvements.

Gunlance why ? Just why?

Well, based on where you put the insect blade, I now cannot show this video to my wife:p

Surprisingly, me and SuperRad have the SAME EXACT OPINIONS about the weapons in this series.

Lance does both impact and slicing damage. It simply choses the highest weakness value to apply its damage to, but still counts as slicing damage either way. This is why weakness exploit is always good on lance.

I agree with the tier list except for the insect glaive. The required grind for the kinsect never was a problem for me, honestly.

Kinsects mains: why wait for it to come down to you, when you can come up to it

Love my greatsword big sword making big number makes brain happy also something about how methodical and slow you have to play just makes those big meaty hits feel so satisfying

If you don't put great sword or switch axe in top tier imma write a very heavy worded letter.

When was this video recorded, that you said you thought the bow wasnt that efficient in rise

Super Rad talking about longsword: “Definitely on with the highest skill ceiling.” Charge Blade mains: “…”

Gunlance didn't get me excited until Rise because the silkbind attacks add the glue it's been missing for several games, or had in parts in older titles. Blast Dash helps with movement at the low cost of fast wyrmstake and is very fun (you already have three other ways to get into that stake attack anyway). You get a guard silkbind that not only takes just about any single hit but gives back some sharpness so managing that is less painful. Ground splitter buffs your shelling for a short period and does a meaty swing that can be chained into Wvern fire or the stake. Slap on evade extender and wirebug whisperer and suddenly you have all these tools in the right place and at the right times.
