The Hunting Horn has a decent range when used as a weapon, though it’s not as strong as the Hammer or Great Sword. Orchestrating an Encore after performing notes will give your bonuses an extra kick. Try combining all three attacks noted below, then use the Perform ability to generate the effect effects vary with each weapon. On one hand, it acts as a musical instrument, where you can perform musical notes by swinging the weapon that buffs your Hunter and allies’ stats temporarily, such as raising your defense. The Hunting Horn is perhaps the most unique weapon of them all. Because of its slow rate of attack speed, Hunters find themselves defenseless after executing a strike. On the downside you cannot block with these weapons, so you’ll need to dodge often in battle. The Hammer’s other unique ability is to stun monsters when inflicting damage to your target’s head. Charging drains your stamina, yet you still have the ability to maneuver in the process. It relies on three levels of charging attacks, the third being the hardest hitting. Similar to the Great Sword, the Hammer is another heavy-wielding weapon that packs quite a punch, with an amazing range of attack. Now for the downside: you’ll repair these blades more often than not, as their sharpness is extremely fragile – especially during Demon Mode. Once you fill the demon gauge in Demon Mode, you’ll trigger Archdemon Mode, where your Hunter receives a tremendous speed boost. In this state, your attack power increases, but at a cost of your stamina, so it would be wise to bring Rations or Energy Drinks when using this weapon. Unfortunately the blades have weak power, relatively close to the Sword and Shield’s strength. The twin blades are certainly the quickest weapons your Hunter can yield. Overall, not the strongest weapon, but perhaps one of the safest. Use the Circle Pad and combos (tap X after executing Forward Slash), then follow up with a Charge Slash, the weapon’s most powerful attack. Your Hunter’s mobility is far quicker than holding heavy weapons, and you can score additional hits on your target. You can obviously block with your shield, and even use items while your weapon is drawn. A top choice for those new to the series.Īlthough the Sword and Shield class is one of the weakest weapons, it’s designed for fast movement and defense. As you upgrade Long Swords, more levels of energy can be charged with the Spirit Gauge. Frequently switching from basic attacks to the Spirit Blade will help keep your spirit gauge active. Consistently attack your target to build the spirit gauge, and when the gauge is full, activate the Spirit Blade for special and rapid attacks. You aren’t capable of blocking with these weapons, but using the Fade Slash can help you avoid attacks. That said, Long Swords have a unique ability that can charge energy while attacking your enemies, building up the Spirit Blade for additional damage. Bottom line, one of the strongest, most powerful weapons available.Ī bit faster than Great Swords, yet not as powerful. Forewarning: overcharging the blade cancels out its effect. Charged Slashes can be charged up to three levels of damage – the third being the strongest. Try mixing different attacks to deliver significant and deadly combos. It takes practice to land precise attacks, and your Hunter moves extremely slowly in battle. Though you can block with your blade, keep in mind this takes a toll on its sharpness. Lastly, be sure upgrade and purchase new weapons as you progress.Įxtremely heavy and hard-hitting, Great Swords are meant for experienced monster hunters. Remember you can always commence in weapon training through one-star quests from the Guildmarm. Although we listed the special moves of each weapon, practicing with your weapon is key to mastering it. Here, we breakdown the close-range weapons that fall under the Swordmaster class. The choice is literally yours when it comes to selecting weapons in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
