While *Monster Hunter Wilds* lacks PvP, choosing the right weapons is crucial for efficient hunts. This tier list ranks *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapons based on damage, versatility, and skills. Remember, every weapon type is viable; choose what suits your playstyle best.
I personally preferred the Switch Axe throughout, despite its lower damage output – it's just fun! Here's the tier list:
Tier | Weapon |
---|---|
S | Bow, Gunlance, Long Sword |
A | Great Sword, Charge Blade, Hunting Horn, Dual Blades |
B | Sword and Shield, Insect Glaive |
C | Lance, Switch Axe, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Hammer |
S-Tier
The Bow maintains its dominance from *Monster Hunter World*, excelling at ranged damage and boasting easy-to-learn mechanics and high DPS-boosting skills. The Gunlance boasts some of the game's highest DPS, while the Long Sword offers parrying and counterattack capabilities.
A-Tier
The Great Sword, despite high DPS potential, requires mastery due to its slow, unwieldy nature. Other S-Tier options often outperform it. The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer, offering significant damage and valuable support for teammates. The Charge Blade, with its defensive capabilities and dual modes, provides versatility but requires practice to master.
