For this reason, we have decided to list the best weapons to master for all players who until now had never approached the brand, thus being able to begin to become familiar with the combat system, since every single weapon has a set of moves. unique, many of which are not exactly easy to use. As if that weren't enough, there are weapons with an ammo count that can therefore prove even more difficult to master in longer and more torturous gaming sessions.

Before continuing with this guide, however, we remind you that the text may contain major or minor spoilers on Monster Hunter Rise. We therefore advise you to proceed carefully to avoid undermining, even partially, your gaming experience.

Now let's see which are the best weapons to use for newbies to the game:

• Sword and Shield: There are not very many solutions within Monster hunter rise to block enemy shots, but the Sword and Shield option is part of this small niche. This set of weapons is recommended at the beginning, since although it is true that soon you will have to learn to directly dodge the shots of the enemies, start by parrying some initial shots, without suffering particular damage at the first hunts, it can help you in the management and in the learning. In short, we are talking about a well-balanced set of weapons, with a minimum dose of power and a good dose of defense.
• Greatsword: This is the most iconic weapon in the series Monster Hunter, and is also one of the most powerful in terms of damage. By wielding this huge two-handed sword, you will be able both to inflict a lot of damage, especially when loading shots, and to block incoming attacks, thanks to its size. It is very slow as a weapon which is why it will help you to master all your fighting skills in a timely manner.
• Hammer: This weapon can't protect you from incoming hits, but it does a lot of bludgeoning damage. It is slow but its blows are able to stun enemies if you have to reach their head several times or, again, they can make them fall to the ground if you aim for the legs. We are faced with a very simple weapon to use, capable of opening the enemy defenses and allowing the team to easily kill a prey.
• bow: Among ranged weapons, this is the easiest weapon to exploit. Its use is very strategic, because thanks to its long range it can be useful for weakening enemies, even if it has really powerful combinations and special attacks. Do not underestimate the coating that you can assign to your arrows, which will add damage or useful effects to your raids.
• Launch: As all model hunters do, you too must learn to master this weapon. The spear is accompanied by a large shield, useful for absorbing all the damage from your enemies. This combination is practically ideal for all newbies to the game, as they will be able to attack and defend at the same time. This will allow you to slowly come out of your lair to master and exploit even the most powerful combinations of this deadly duo.
• Long sword: We come to the end of the list with the Longsword. This is a weapon that is easy to use and that thanks to its wide range will easily inflict damage on your enemies, gradually filling a spirit bar which, when charged, will unleash a devastating combination of blows. This sword has a parry function, but it is already more difficult to master than the weapons we have listed above; however, we advise you to get carried away, because in the long run it will surely come in handy.

In our opinion, these are the weapons with which it is easier to start taking the first steps inside the beautiful Monster hunter rise. Continue to follow all our guides so as not to miss anything of this new title in the branded series Capcom.
