Hunter's Handbook

📖 Relevant Posts Only

Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.

📖 Respect Your Fellow Hunters

Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.

No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.

No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.

No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.

📖 Original Art Only

No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.

Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.

If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

I’m a beginner. I’ve used Charge Blade extensively I know it’s a technical weapon but CPP and other wirebind skills make it really fun to use. I’m thinking of picking an alternate weapon to use as a main. I didn’t like the Lance felt really slow. Was thinking of using long sword again what do you guys recommend for a melee focused playstyle. Also people say long sword is DPS focused and becomes difficult to play in the long run what does that mean?

I was running Charge Blade throughout the campaign of Sunbreak and I decided to pick up Insect Glaive once I hit MR6 last week. I love this damn weapon. You can play it on the ground or go into the air and target monster parts that are hard to reach otherwise.

Unfortunately there's a bit of a learning curve on which kinsect to use (I believe powder and assist are the preferred ones and dual color can speed up the harvesting process), where to aim for extracts on each monster and finding which combos/switch skills work best for you. Despite the initial complexity, it's my favorite weapon thus far (I've used every melee weapon other than switch axe but the bulk of my hunts are with hammer, dual blades and charge blade).
