How to use this Section: Weapons

Learn how to use every weapon in Monster Hunter Generations! This guide breaks down each weapon's pros, cons, Guild Style controls, and other hunting styles.

Hey there, Hunter! Monster Hunter Generations throws a ton of weapon options at you – fifteen if you count Prowler Mode! That's awesome for variety, but it could get super confusing trying to figure them all out. So, we've set up this section to make it super easy to find what you need.

First off, we'll introduce each weapon, covering its cool perks and any downsides it might have. And before you ask, there's no single 'best' weapon. Seriously, every single one can get you to the end of the game and become a total beast in your hands if you practice. So, ditch the idea of a 'best weapon' and focus on finding what clicks with you!

Next, we'll dive into the controls for the Guild Style. We'll touch on basic combos and action chains – mastering them is all about getting in-game and experimenting to find what you love to spam! Different combinations of your X and A attacks can lead to some seriously efficient damage, so play around and see what works.

The other three styles – Striker, Aerial, and Adept – are basically variations on Guild Style. They tweak or remove certain features. For example, Aerial Style shifts a lot of high-damage moves to the air and swaps your roll for a somersault that can launch you off monsters or even other hunters. After we cover Guild Style, we'll explain how the other three styles stack up against it.

We're using Guild Style as the starting point not because it's the 'best,' but to give you a solid foundation for understanding how the other styles differ. Think of Guild Style as the classic, 'old school' option that's perfect for comparisons.

Lastly, if there are any armor skills that are super important or highly recommended for a specific weapon (like Focus for the Great Sword), we'll mention those too. Happy hunting!
