Best+worst weapons for each monster

What are they? You may be able to pick up tips on what works for what and what doesn't if a lot of people share opinions on things. Obviously, they will be affected by what weapons you like and don't like. Give reasons if you like; for now, I'm just doing a quick list.

Well, my worst weapon for everything is a bowgun, so I'll say what my second-worst is as well as my best.

Great Jaggi - Best: , worst:
Qurupeco - Best: , worst:
Royal Ludroth - Best: , worst:
Great Baggi - Best: , worst:
Barroth - Best: , worst:
Gobul - Best: , worst:
Rathian - Best: , worst:
Gigginox - Best: , worst:
Lagiacrus - Best: , worst:
Rathalos - Best: , worst:
Barioth - Best: , worst:
Diablos - Best: , worst:
Uragaan - Best: , worst:
Agnaktor - Best: , worst:
Ceadeus - Best: , worst:
Jhen Mohran - Best: , worst:

Dude, lance is the best underwater weapon, period! Take away that sns! (Get it? no period, tee hee) :scratch: :lol!:

It's mainly opinion on which weapon you're better at. But each weapon is usually dependent on the monsters speed at attacking compared to mine. My worst weapon is Great Sword.
Great Jaggi-Best:
Qurupeco:-Best:
Royal Ludroth-Best:
Barroth-Best:
Gobul-Best:
Rathian-Best:
Gigginox-Best:
Barioth-Best:
Uragaan-Best:
Ceadeus-Best:
Jhen Mohran-Best:

Okay lets see, bowgun is good for anything, and why do you have sns as best for uragaan? The hammer is the easiest way to break his face, plus phantom uragaan+hammer=Fun

Listed based by which weapon makes the monster easiest for me.

Great Jaggi: GS (Can one hit kill)

Peco: LS

Ludroth: Lance

Barroth: Lance

Rathian: Hammer

Gobul: Hammer (He's a giant head, what'd you expect)

Great Baggi: LS (Can a GS OHK him? Haven't tried it myself.)

Gigginox: Bowgun (Hit him on the ceiling)

Barioth: Lance

Uragaan: Hammer

Rathalos: Hammer

Diablos: Lance

Lagiacrus: Lance

Agnaktor: Bowgun

Deviljho: Lance

Ceadeus: Lance

Jhen Mohran: LS (Stationary target just asking for SC spam)

Alatreon: Hammer

As you can see, Hammers and lances are awesome.

Everything: Dragonator

Guessing that's a reference to my weapon choice for Gobul. Well, I use SnS because it's ok underwater and I have a Storm Sword R, which is effective on Gobuls. I don't have any decent thunder lances, you see. I need a million and one lagiacrus horns and tails to upgrade it. And wyvern stones, but I don't even know where to get them.

I use the Shadow Sabre+ for Uragaan. Its very weak to poison, so I just slice it up and wait for it to die slowly and painfully. Mwahahahahaha!

Also, why would you want to attack its face? Most of its strongest attacks will hit you when you're there and its one of the most resistant hitzones of all monsters.

For the phantom Uragaan, I use a water switch-axe, because the sword form stops me from bouncing off its armour - an advantage which my Shadow Sabre sadly lacks.

Great Jaggi - Dancing Flames
Qurupeco - Barbarian Blade
Royal Ludroth - Dancing Flames
Great Baggi - Dancing Flames
Barroth - Tusk Lance+
Gobul - Spiral Heat
Rathian - Tough Break (B)
Gigginox - Dancing Flames
Lagiacrus - Spiral Heat
Rathalos - Tough Break (B)
Barioth - Dancing Flames
Diablos - Tusk Lance+
Uragaan - Shadow Saber+
Agnaktor - Barbarian Blade
Ceadeus - Spiral Heat
Jhen Mohran - Tough Break (B)

Jhen Mohran Hammer, and Alatreon Metamorph work best vs. Uragaan, but both are high rank and maxed with sharpness+ 1 you reach white and purple sharpness. Both are quite capable of penetrating Uragaan's jaw without bouncing and and have high elemental damage which is more effective than raw damage to Uragaan's highly resistant jaw.

I killed HR R. Ludroth with the Red Bludgeon in 4mins. And that was the first time i used a hammer.
But in my mind, G. Jaggi, Qurupeco, R. Ludroth - Doesnt matter what you bring. They die too easily.

Barroth Best -

Rathian Best - L

Rathalos Best -

Uragaan Best - or (All depends really)

Anga Best -

Ceadeus Best -

Jhen Best -

Alatreon Best -

Deviljho Best -

Barioth Best -

Gigginox Best -

G. Baggi Best - Anything

Melee only, otherwise pretty much everything would say "bowgun"

Great Jaggi - Who cares?
Qurupeco - Who cares?
Royal Ludroth - Who cares?
Great Baggi - Who cares?
Barroth - GS
Gobul - GS
Rathian -Hammer
Gigginox - Hammer
Lagiacrus - Lance
Rathalos - GS
Barioth - Lance
Diablos - Lance
Uragaan - Hammer
Agnaktor - LS
Ceadeus - Lance
Jhen Mohran - GS
Deviljho - Lance
Alatreon - Hammer

SnS worst on every monster

this thread is soooo wrong....
any weapon is good against any monster if you know how to use it.
what can be the best weapon for you, can also be the worst for someone else.

not to mention - different weapon types can fill roles within the team, but teamwork isn't valued on tri anymore it seems

I thought that the original poster was talking about personal best and worst,but the subject looks like it changed to "All you are nubs,MY weapons list is best!!! D:<".

Well,I thought that's how they came up with the term "support gunner",but so many damn pros out there.I'd say I only hunt with forumers,but yeah...<.<


OT:I use what ever.I'm not the best at anything,but I have fun using it all.

Obviously. I wanted to see how much variation there was between what works for different people. I was just intersted in people's weapon preferences per monster; I wasn't trying to get any useful information.

I don't see how coming here simply to complain about the thread and state the obvious helps. You may as well just ignore it. No-one's forcing you to come here or write anything.

Well, that's just a flaw with the thread. I probably didn't think of that because I almost always hunt alone and am lonely. Hehe.

I don't wanna state the obvious either, but you could've name the thread
"PRSONAL Best+worst weapons for each monster" then...
also, no one forces you to be a douche to anyone who does not agree with you or does not answer what you wanted either.

anyway I use every weapon against every monster and they are all effective.

Each weapon does have pros and cons...

Please try and keep this thread on topic. The topic being "which weapon works best for you on a given monster, and which works the worst?"

Spirit, please don't feed the trolls. If you want help with somebody that is disrupting your thread you can just ask a mod. Do not take matters into your own hands and vaguely insult them, that's almost as bad as outright name calling.

Andrea, you got into an argument with somebody for doing the same thing that you are in this thread, and that thread eventually got locked.

Also, insults against other forum goer's are frowned upon, please keep that in mind the both of you.

That's why I became lance first, there were very few "tank players" in the beginning. Lance is probably the best weapon to stay around/close-to the monster for a long time. Using gs for the same role is absurd, but sns could work; however, imo, not as well as lance. Roles are probably one of the most important concepts to understand in fighting games. However, monsters have pros and cons, just like weapons.

So to get back on topicz D:

Not going to list BG since I consider gunner and blade much too different.

*if I miss any monster mah bad. too lazy to look up the 18 monsterz*

Sorry, Onion. I'll try not to get into arguments with people in the future.

And so do the monsters, which is why some weapons can be more effective than others in certain situations. Barioth, for example, is very fast. Some players, like me, may choose to counter speed with speed and go for a sword and shield, whereas others may like to deal as much damage in a single hit as possible, due to not being able to get in many hits, so they'd use a greatsword. Or something.

Any rusty weapon is the best on monsters.

Dat rust.
