This robot is for people who are playing Monster Hunter Rise for the first time and are wondering which weapon to use.

The number of weapons available has increased with each new installment in the Monster Hunter series since the original, and Monster Hunter Rise is scheduled to feature 14 different weapons.
There is no information about new weapons yet, but there is a possibility that they will be released suddenly, so we can't let our guard down until the release date.
Appeared in Monster Hunter FrontierPerforated dragon club,Magnetic SpikeIt might be possible that it will be released! In fact, I would like to use it myself!!

By the way, there is no information that there are weapons with special reach, so it seems likely that overly complicated systems will continue to be avoided.

This time, I would like to pick out and introduce 5 easy-to-use weapons from the 14 weapon types, so please look forward to it, Robo.

Recommended weapon for beginners #5 [Dual Swords]

A weapon that holds swords in both hands and fights by switching between normal mode and demon mode.
Dual blades are a recommended weapon type if you want a weapon with fast movement and attack speeds that is specialized for attacking.
Because it specializes in offense, the only defensive action it has is evasion.
Additionally, the weapon's reach is short, making it difficult to destroy tails or wings that are positioned high up, so if you want to attack a monster in a high position, you will need to knock the monster down first before attacking.

●To master dual swords more effectively
Make the most of demon transformation and demon strengthening!
"Transformation into a demonBe mindful of the timing when using this phrase.
When you attack while transformed into a demon, the gauge fills up andDemon Strengthened State', and the normal weapon action will change.
You will need to alternate between the demonic state and the enhanced demonic state, and always be in an offensive position.

Summary of Dual Sword Features
Strong Points
-High instantaneous firepower
- Fast movement speed makes it easy to position yourself for attacks
・Easy to pinpoint and attack specific parts of monsters

Cons
・Difficulty attacking high positions
- Weapon sharpness decreases quickly

Dual blades are the perfect weapon for those who like to move around a lot and attack constantly.
It also contributes a lot to firepower when in a party, making it one of the most popular weapons in Monster Hunter.
Aren't you intrigued by these dual swords that dance like a butterfly and sting like a bee?

Beginner's Recommended Weapon #4 [Hammer]

The hammer is a powerful weapon that can deliver a massive blow to monsters that show an opening.
Like dual blades, hammers are weapons that are specialized for attacking.
The most distinctive feature of the hammer isDizziness (stun) attack"When"Charged Attack'There are two options.
Since it is a striking weapon, it cannot cut off the tail, but by attacking the head of the monster, it will be unable to act for a certain period of time.dizzy state' can be caused.
A dizzy monster will be defenseless, giving you an opportunity to launch a barrage of attacks.

●How to use a hammer more effectively
Stamina is consumed while charging an attack. You can also move while charging, so managing your stamina while watching for an opening in the monster's defenses and landing a charged attack when the opportunity arises is key when using a hammer.
Since you need to hit the head to cause dizziness, it's important to always be aware of the monster's head position and position yourself accordingly.

Summary of hammer features
Strong Points
- Can cause dizziness, creating opportunities for attack
You can move while charging your attacks.
- Weapon power is high and hits are heavy

Cons
- The reach is short, so you have to get closer to the monster
・Guard actions are not possible. The only defensive action available is evasion.
-Tail cutting is not possible.

Although it is a large weapon, it has fast movement speed, but its reach is short, so it is a weapon that requires you to take a step forward in your movements.
It requires constant attention to your head, but the feeling of accomplishment once the dizziness goes away is incredible, and it's said that hammer users are drawn to other hammer users.
How about a hammer, a striking weapon that is also useful in multiplayer?

Recommended weapon for beginners: No. 3 [One-handed sword]

The one-handed sword is a weapon for advanced players!!
Some people say that, but no, that's not true.
"Easy to useIf we classify it as being for beginners or advanced users, then it may indeed be for advanced users.
However, the one-handed sword is the best weapon for improving your skills, as it offers good movement speed, quick recovery, and instant firepower!
With the addition of wirebug techniques, it has become a versatile weapon that can adapt to a wider variety of battle situations.

How to master the one-handed sword
He can use items while holding his weapon, he can guard despite not having high defensive capabilities, he can cause dizziness with a head attack using his shield, and he's good at using abnormal status attacks... in short, he can do a lot of things on his own.
The only drawbacks are that the weapon's reach is short and the guard performance is not very good, but other than that it is at a high level.
You'll need to practice different ways to follow up from the backstep and the timing of your just attack.

Summary of one-handed sword features
Strong Points
・A versatile fighting style that can handle anything on its own
- Items can be used while the weapon is out
・Since there is a shield, if you are in trouble you can play a card and see what happens.

Cons
-Weapon reach is short
・It is difficult to get used to how to produce instantaneous firepower

It's easy to move around and can also be used to guard, making it a great weapon for observing monster attacks.
In addition, you need to use it a lot to bring out its potential, but the more you use it, the more you will discover its best features; it is just like a dried squid.
I wouldn't say it's a weapon completely for beginners, but it is a weapon I would recommend to beginners, so I've placed it here.

Recommended weapon for beginners #2: Switch Axe

One of the long-reach weapons that can be used in both axe and sword modes.
The basic strategy is to fight in axe mode, which allows for high mobility, and then switch to sword mode, which has high firepower, when the time comes.
In axe mode, you fight by maintaining the axe's strengthened state and accumulating the slash gauge, and in sword mode, you consume the slash gauge and unleash powerful attacks.
During sword mode,Elemental Release ThrustBy performing this command, you can perform a powerful attack.

How to use the slash axe
You can switch between axe and sword mode at will, but you cannot switch to sword mode unless a certain amount of the slash gauge has been filled, so the basic action is to fill up the slash gauge while in axe mode.
The effects of the vial are applied when in sword form, so in order to obtain the effects of the vial, such as paralysis or poison, you must attack in sword form.
Until you get used to it, it's best to focus on using "Strong Attack Bottles" which increase your attack power.

Summary of Switch Axe Features
Strong Points
-High mobility in axe form, making it easy to move around
・All of the attack methods in sword mode are powerful and easy to use.
- Easy to use: use the axe to fill up the gauge and use the sword for powerful attacks

Cons
・Preparation is required to use the sword
・If you don't use the gauge properly, you will likely lack firepower

You will need to learn how to use weapons when there is no gauge and how to use them once the gauge is full, depending on the situation. However, since it is clear how to use weapons when there is a gauge and when there is not, you will generally have little trouble using them.

Recommended weapon for beginners: #1 [Tachi]

No matter what you say, the tachi is still the easiest to handle.
It has many of the elements you'd want when choosing a Monster Hunter weapon, such as fast movement speed when unsheathing, fast attack speed, the ability to attack high places, and the ability to easily sever tails and destroy body parts.
Monster Hunter Rise adds a sword flash effect, making it visually cooler.
It feels like a main weapon.

How to master the Tachi
It takes time for the sword to reach its full strength.
First,Spirit GaugeYou start by accumulating the ", and then use the accumulated spirit gauge to perform a finishing attack (Ki Blade Great Spinning Slash) to strengthen your character.
Each time you hit a spinning blade, the sword will be strengthened and the color of the gauge will change to "White → Yellow → RedAttack power increases in the order of ".
There are various techniques, but at first, you should focus on attacking to build up the gauge, then using the Great Spirit Blade Spinning Slash to strengthen your long sword.

Summary of Tachi's characteristics
Strong Points
Easy to handle and fast movement speed
-Long reach and the ability to attack from high places
・Once you get used to using the spirit blade gauge, you can always have high firepower.

Cons
・If you can't use the gauge well, your firepower won't increase.
・Due to the length of the weapon, attacks are easily absorbed by other parts

It is assumed that you will use the gauge properly, but it has high firepower and a long reach, so I feel it is easier to use than other weapons.
Although it has the drawback of not being able to guard, I think it is a weapon that is very suitable for people who want to fight with an aggressive style.
If you want both reach and firepower, you should definitely try out the Tachi.

Use the weapon you like best!

I like the look, I like the performance, and I've been using it for many years, so I'm attached to it.
Whatever the reason, I want toThis is it!Using weapons that you think are "the best" is what makes Monster Hunter fun.
If you see a weapon that catches your eye, it's a good idea to just try it out!
If you're ever unsure which weapon to choose, I'd appreciate it if you could remember that Anastasia recommended a weapon and try it out, Robot.
