    Monster Hunter Rise

    Does anyone else play? I started playing a few days ago, and this is my first ever Monster Hunter game, so I guess I'd be considered a big newcomer! I've found myself liking the Light Bowgun a lot with gyro controls turned on. I didn't expect it to be as fun as I thought it would be, especially when I set down a bomb with my bowgun and a monster runs on it.

    Does anyone have any good tips or stuff for newcomers like me? All I ask is no major game spoilers.

    I've been playing this since release, it has basically consumed my life haha. I only starting playing Monster Hunter when World came out, so I'm still sorta fresh to the series as well. I'm a bow/bow gun player and I have to say, I enjoy it a lot! A lot of the things I learned were through watching youtube guides haha, so that's where I would point you regarding tips

    Oh neat! I've always wanted to try World but I have a dingy laptop and don't own a PS4, it looks really neat. I haven't looked through many video guides yet, just some basic ones. It was Captain Astronaut that got me interested in trying different weapons from this video!

    I just unlocked Switch skills (I'm village rank 3 now) and I wanna see what I can do with the Wyvernblast. It feels so good to set down a wyvernblast bomb and see a Lagombi roll right on top of it. Massive damage.

    Bumping this back up as I have set down Rune Factory 4 temporarily to get my ass kicked in Monster Hunter Rise until I get it right lol.

    I'll probably have to mess with the controls a bit. I'm a Bow main (from World) and a slight Charge Blade / Dual Blade user, and idk if it's just the switch's default controlling, but the CB is stupid to get used to lol.

    Though, it is a fun experience and I'm catching on pretty fast. I'll just stick to the Bow for the time being since I'm confident enough in that weapon at least to hunt properly.

    Woah nice, I heard the Bow is completely busted in this game! I haven't tried Charge or Dual blades yet, but Duals look fun with how fast they are. Do you play using gyro controls on the Bow?

    Yes the bow is just as good as it was in World! I'm kind of upset they got rid of the bows raining Arc Shot and replaced it with buffs, but that extra heal or affinity boost does help greatly towards the end of a hunt. I personally don't use Gyro controls because the switch's gyro motion is so sensitive that the tiniest nudge can throw a shot off. I found that using the right stick to aim is better because you usually don't have to adjust your aim so much or even at all lol since I typically move my character to match up to the monster instead of moving to aim often.

    I have also started the Long Blade tonight and this weapon definitely takes some learning. I've been practicing combos for the better part of tonight and fighting low level monsters, but the most important thing I'm learning are monster's hit boxes length and I'm remembering why I hate fighting close range.

    Oh yeah, switching from the Light Bowgun to the Longsword for a bit was very scary and I took a lot of hits...I had my first Nargacuga fight the other day and wiped out twice *shivers* that thing is the most dangerous monster I've faced so far. Eventually you get used to it as the Longsword has a kit that allows you to side-step with Fade Slash and the ZR+A counter slash thing also has a dodge. It's honestly really neat! Also, I might try turning off gyro controls and see how it works out thanks to your suggestion.

    Yeah the Fade Slash has saved me more times than I can count with the Long Blade. After a few more days of it, and beating Magnamalo with it shockingly, the Long Blade is pretty fun to play with! Once you somewhat learn where safe spots are to attack without being in the tiny window of a monster's hitbox, the damage it can do is insane lol.

    Alongside practicing with the Bow and Long Blade, I'm taking up the Insect Glaive and holy hell is it fun flying everywhere. Just gotta get in line with actually flying towards a monster and hitting them because I keep missing.
