New Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Weapon Showcases Have 100% More Insect Glaive

IG best weapon. Disgustingly underrated. I love how utilitarian the weapon is. Not the best in terms of DPS but hey it's how you use it. I honestly think it actually got buffed instead than nerfed since they essentially removed the stop animations so that you can do more damage per second. Not to mention the more you do the aerial attack the bigger damage you inflict with diving wyvern. Compared to Iceborne the speedruns with this weapon in Rise are insane!
I also love how they gave the hammer the spinning top attack from HH.

Bow for life for me

My fav weapon and have been using it since it was added.

Gunlance is the best followed by Charge Blade imo.

It's always fun to see just how well balanced Monster Hunter generally is, even just in how much fun each weapon is.

What I mean is, just look at any comment section like this, every weapon has its fans and you can have endless (positive) discussions about how YOUR weapon is the best. This is possible because every weapon type has its redeeming qualities.

This also shows again and again, just how different the weapons are from each other.

In a way, the fact that people are so divided about which weapon is the coolest, shows one of the biggest strengths of the franchise, imo.
It also shows why it is so important for new players, to find the right weapon first. They will not be equally fun to play for you, as it is super subjective.

Always using Dual Blades myself, but recently tried Insect Glave and I do like it.

For some reason though... it is more fun to use in GU and 4U more than in World and Rise, but maybe that's just me.

Always been a Dual Blades and Light Bowgun man myself.

GS for life! But man, I'm always amazed how they manage to improve all the weapons. I've tried them all, some I'm good at, and some I just don't click with them, but still I have lots of fun with them, This DLC is gonna be amazing!

Insect Glaive all day! Most versatile weapon around for balancing mobility and damage. It is underrated. I’ve used other weapons but always come back to the Insect Glaive. Looking forward to Sunbreak and some new weapon trees to hunt for!

I will continue to maintain, that the Glaive is the most fun out of all the weapons. It’s certainly not the most powerful, but if you want some DMC in your MHR, here ya go.

@MeloMan

I’ve never tried the Bow out yet, kinda love the plethora of gameplay options Monster Hunter series provides! I’ll def have to try a bow or one of the bowgun options …I like the Glaives ability to be both long range and up close and personal, I’ll have to try some of the distance based weapons out. Some of these new monsters look like a handful

Everyone is wrong in here. The entirety of this arsenal is the best weapon. I love this skill swap thing. This game is really stepping this up.

"best weapon"
...
I don't see the Gunlance anywhere. >:c

Bowguns for life ^_^ But I love trying out every weapon, especially with all the new weapon combos Sunbreak will add to this game!

By the way, Capcom's Japanese Youtube channel accidentally uploaded the Hunting Horn already if anyone wants to check! It appears the Hammer and HH are s w a p p i n g Switch Skills with each other

@Rainz I take a shine to the bow because I love playing the support role, causing status effects and such, as well as sneak attacking monsters up close once in a while.

I'll take anything that gives me an excuse to use IG

Insect Glaive is looking hot.

That new Great Sword trailer has me debating making that my main for Sunbreak though. I already mained Glaive in MH4U, Charge Blade in MHGU and MHW, SwitchAxe in Rise, Horn and Longsword in MH3U...

It's time for a change.

Duel blades and longsword.

Why aren't they showing damage numbers?

As for the weapons, I'm using longsword all the way. It may be a bit boring choice, but I really like how the animations look and it's also often ranked as the best overall weapon in the game.
