welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down
our picks for the top 10 monster hunter
weapons
for this list we'll be naming off the
best weapon types in the monster hunter
franchise
which weapon is your favorite share with
us in the comments
number 10 sword and shield
it may be the smallest set of weaponry
in the monster hunter series
but don't let the sword and shield size
fool you this duo benefits the user in a
couple of ways that no other weapon can
for starters it enables the user to
access items while guarding without
having to sheet their sword
while it has short reach and can
deteriorate in effectiveness quickly
the sword and shield is perfect for
those looking to bum rush and deal a
heavy amount of sever and blunt damage
just make sure you know how to execute
your combos well enough to not get
caught with your pants down

number nine gunlance
have you ever thought man i wish i could
skewer foes while peppering them with
the might of a shotgun
if so then the gun lance is your dream
come true
not only can you attack enemies with
fierce pokes but you can spray their
face with a couple of blank shells to
finish your combos with a big bang
you even get a sizeable shield to give
yourself some good defense
try not to focus on dodging and evading
too much as this clunky set of gear does
hinder your mobility

number eight hunting horn
[Music]
it's the support weapon that puts all
other support weapons to shame
the hunting horn can be wielded like a
club and inflict an insane amount of
stun on your target
however this piece of gear's most
notable aspect is how you can
incorporate music into your combos
these brief moments of jamming out mid
battle will grant your teammates various
buffs
sure you look incredibly overconfident
when belting out tunes in the midst of a
battle but hey
what's so wrong about playing a victory
song a little early

number 7 greatsword
this weapon class is the very definition
of the phrase if looks could kill
the great sword practically turns you
into a human tank capable of inflicting
the highest amount of dps
between all of the weapon classes
surprisingly enough you can quickly
block attacks despite its hefty size
and just when you thought this puppy
couldn't pack even more power
you can integrate charged attacks into
your combos don't use them too often
though
or you'll leave yourself wide open for a
tail slap across the face
only go nuts if you have someone dealing
stun
number six dual blades speaking of going
nuts
the dual blades are great for when you
want to get crazy and start flinging
blades all around
with these you can land attacks in quick
succession and rack up damage in a short
amount of time
however the coolest aspect of the dual
blades are the demon
in archdemon mode when demon mode is
activated you'll be able to chain
attacks for even longer
and once you fill the gauge completely
you'll enter the archdemon mode
which practically turns you into a
tornado of blades
be careful though demon mode can drain a
lot of stamina
if only natalie artemis knew about this
before she tried them out
number five insect glaive
with this staff of blades you too can
take to the skies like the all-powerful
rathalos
okay maybe not exactly the same way but
holy crap does it make you feel like a
mighty jumping bean of death
the insect glaive allows the user to
pull vault into the air
and land attacks on aerial foes or
thrust them into the ground to deal
massive damage
it also makes mounting easier and can
deliver an indefinite chain of attacks
and if you want to buff yourself even
more you can shoot out a kinsect to
collect essence
basically you can become a lethal force
of nature which is plenty of reason for
it to place
this high on the list
number four charge blade the charge
blade has two forks
sword and axe store of energy in a file
and release it through the axe to the
naked eye the charge blade just looks
like a bigger version of the sword and
shield
one wouldn't be entirely wrong in
perceiving it that way but things change
when you first
trigger the morph ability yeah the thing
can go from a hefty sword and shield to
a massive axe
and yes you can incorporate this change
into your combos
thanks to these two forms the charge
blade gives you access to a balanced set
of attacks
and a moveset that boasts great range
and damage output
fair warning should you choose this
weapon it has been known to take a bit
more time to master than the others
number three bow
when it comes to bose or any ranged
weapon most games require you to employ
some ammo management
monster hunter is not like most games
though rather than forcing you to
constantly buy bundles of ammo
the bow grants the user an unlimited
amount of arrows
the real ammo is the coating that can be
used to inflict additional damage or
status effects
on your target however it will require
some moderate precision
clock in enough practice and you two
will be as badass
as the hunter
number two long sword a long sword is a
close range weapon designed
gather your spirit to increase its power
if ranged weapons aren't your thing yet
you don't want to have to get up close
and personal with enemies
you might find solace in the long sword
no you won't dish out as much damage as
some of the other weapon classes
but your attack speed will be top notch
and you can recover
out of some attacks
the long sword also includes a unique
mechanic the spirit gauge
which increases your attack power every
time it levels up
a word of advice don't get carried away
as your sweeping attacks
may trip up fellow teammates give
yourself enough room to focus on
executing those combos
and power up
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
light and heavy bow gun can load up on
various types of ammunition
hammer great for stunning monsters
repeatedly
the hammer is a mighty close range
weapon this stun monsters with blows to
the head
lance perfect for players that prefer
defending and
countering the lance is a close-range
weapon set with strong defensive
capabilities
guard while waiting for a chance to
strike before we continue

number one switch x switch access two
forms
axe and sword you can power up the sword
attacks by injecting them with file
energy
this is without a doubt the sickest
weapon in the monster hunter franchise
much like the charge blade the switch
axe carries a more function that can be
integrated into combos and it's so cool
watching it go from axe form to sword
and back again
while boasting an incredible reach and
damage output the switch axe is also the
most difficult weapon to master
you do suffer from long windows of
vulnerability and you don't have great
defense
still this weapon is immensely
satisfying to use
once you get the hang of it
