MONSTER HUNTER WORLD Why You Should Use The Bow - Moveset & Bread & Butter Combos

[@XDD50Hz]

bbk this is a very nice video for new players, probably one of the best for monster hunter virgins, but there are a few things I want to talk about :D damage per second is not that important for bow, not like the other weapon. Due to the importance of power coating, damage per shot is more important IMO, and that's why you can barely see any rapid shot main in speed run videos. Also, the skills for different bow playstyles differ from each other, thou constitution and weakness exploit will be the first priority when you're trying to get mixed armor for optimized skills. And the choice of bows will also determine your strategy. For example, you can play crit draw DP with Diablos bow, or you can use legina bow against Diablos/ordogona with power shots. (sorry I don't play English version so correct my spelling if I'm wrong) These are just some broad topics that I think are important for new bow users, and if needed I can go a little bit in depth with them. And if you don't agree with me I'm open to discussion too :D and again, great video, please keep up the good work :)

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you! at work so I can't do a detailed reply but I really appreciate this comment

[@XDD50Hz]

BBKDRAGOON thank you for commenting back :D as a veteran I'm glad that there are so many new players are enjoying the game, and the content you make really helps new players so much :D

[@BBKDRAGOON]

thank you very much! I'm loving MH, trying to play double cross right now on the switch and also a bit of mh4u in background

[@XDD50Hz]

BBKDRAGOON double cross is so much fun with 5 different styles, you can always have fun with some crazy build like aero dual blade or brave CB lol, hope you are having fun with the game :)

in regards to speed runs and power shots, theres this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpaUXoGMg5Wnoa8

Why you should use the bow in Monster Hunter World. The bow features an incredible versatile move set and is the best ranged weapon to learn for new players. Your bow combos are extensive and offer serious damage output. Your bow coatings give you even more opportunities to apply status effects and debuffs to the monsters you are fighting. In this video we'll cover Bow combos, the bread and butter combos that you'll want to use regularly. What are your favorite loadouts so far in Monster Hunter World? Thanks for watching, if you enjoyed please subscribe!

[@xinsuru]

BBKDRAGOON noticed your using Val’s armor pieces? What perks are you using in your build? Just curious since I’ve seen so many builds now

[@Nova3261]

why is this weapon called a bow when you could probably throw the arrows like a spear with how close you have to be to use it? >_

[@DarkHeroCC]

Landing that perfect Dragon Piercer is one of the most satisfying things to do in Monster Hunter!! Great video as always!

[@tannermilo]

yes but how disappointing is it when you realize you coulda just pressed r2 the whole time and probably done more damage

[@hasnulroslani]

especially when u land it on bageljuice

[@slightlysmaug4249]

DP has a better time severing multiple parts at once.

[@WinterRaven25]

It's my favorite part getting a perfect shot and it sounds like a string of firecrackers going off inside the monster's guts.

[@feircy]

Charged shots do more status damage, so definitely go with those for sleep, poison, blast, and para coatings

[@abdelaziz3197]

Dude, I can still remember the first time I played with a bow, I wasn't paying attention to the stamina bar and I thought that the shots weren't getting charged because my RT was broken or something

[@weszly]

Hahahaha i did the same thing, i thought 'charging is unreliable' and had to train myself to use it once i realised stam was the problem.. also (12 hours deep atm) just realised from this vid there is a dragon shot mfw

[@mousaseblani]

I almost broke my R2 LOL

[@T_3rR4h]

Love the video delivery. Simple, calm and straight forward. thank you for not yelling into my earballs!!

[@jupiter5943]

earballs? you should get that checked out man

[@ForeseenWar]

You can also increase charge level by dodging while charging in any direction.

[@adityas6373]

Easily the best explained video with combos I've watched.

[@owenstarling2399]

Do Insect Glaive next!

[@falseadvertisinghater1834]

I really wish this game got transmog in it that armor looks so nice too bad the damage you get for wearing it is lackluster. Capcom pleaaaaaase patch it in.

[@jonny8688]

No problem. If you do some research you will find stuff :) www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/43 (Transmog for every armor and weapon in the game) God bless

[@marydanielle7183]

@Jonny based on the controls in this video, we’re dealing with console players here who don’t have access to the mods

[@darkorys8012]

First, you can do a sliding charge shot, but it isn't a special sliding attack, just a normal shot, second you can cycle the coating with the D-pad without pressing L1

[@mariomario7379]

If you like Horizon Zero Dawn, the Bow will feel almost familiar save for the fact that it's not long range. Most enemies can be fought with a simple quickshot, quickshot, strong shot combo. Plus the Dragon Piercer is such a gamble that you cant help but feel satisfied when you hit a 4 to 10 hit combo if you land it. You don't have to worry about sharpness but the damage is low but its easy to rack up damage fairly quickly so you have several trade offs. I recommend it for a unique playstyle. Love the bow!

[@whitevii1533]

Dragon Piercer is not a gamble. It's pretty easy to use...

[@mariomario7379]

WhiteVII It's easy to use....pulling it off with out getting hit however is rough unless you only use it when the enemy is down which I just refuse to do especially against the final dragons...Nerg and so on...

[@jordanengen3932]

The bows in horizon aren't exactly short range. I've practically sniped people 😂

[@jn58768]

@@jordanengen3932 He's saying that the MHW bow is short range.

[@jordanengen3932]

@@jn58768 whoops, guess I read it wrong back then lol

[@andreaskristiansen3898]

You actually CAN aim the wall shot by simply moving your directional pad to the desired angle. Also a thing most bow users do is stacking Constitution so that they can use the Charging Sidestep a lot since it can be used to keep up your "stacks". By that i mean you can do R2, R2, R2, Charging Sidestep, R2........ to keep up the damage.

[@williamseipp9691]

Been looking for a video like this for a week. Thanks.

[@Alexnaru1010]

This makes me wanna play MH even more now, coming from playing all the previous ones, being a bow user myself, and the previous pennical point for bow was when they finally had a stick for aiming on the 3ds either with the pro or new 3ds, BUT was still hella wonky. The range weapons were always meant to have a means to aim with. With this coming to console alone gives range weapons a huge buff in my op.

[@cephuwu]

Thanks for acknowledging and directing ppl to Arekkz's tutorial and not just overlapping with it Why reinvent the wheel, amirite? Much appreciated

[@jOhNbLaZe415]

This tutorial is the only on that explained bow dynamics in layman’s terms

[@lauriy-v2567]

It saves coatings if you charge max and then dash and shoot so you can keep max charge. Without anything can be done 3-5 times but eat all stamina

[@vlegendkiller7201]

I started playing on sunday. I came from destiny 1 and 2 and im in love with this game. Ive never played a game like this before. Its alot for me to take in but ill get it all eventually. Ive started with the long sword but i plan on using a bow or gun eventually

[@tannermilo]

just want to mention once you hit max charge you can keep there by dashing or pressing circle and dash juice is a must reduce your stamina my personal combo is r2 r2 r2 circle dash r2 circle dash r2 etc until you run out of stamina ps constitution skill (and the other one that reduces stamina loss) is a must

[@Hungrybird474]

You covered this well dude , good job .

[@PJRandall]

Hey man, excellent video. I like the order in which you organized the material. Would love for a more in depth combo tutorial or even recommendation for one.

[@Siron45]

Not sure if i just missed it but shoot dodge and fire without moving you air and it will automatically shoot where last shot landed

[@feircy]

Please don't arc shot the head if there is a hammer or HH in your group. Nothing worse than stunlocking a KO main just to do 5 damage ticks. The head is their territory, let them have it. I will usually just go to the other side of the head and unload on it that way with the r2 power shot combo

[@karl343]

Feircy Arc Shot is really annoying when you're using a close range weapon.

[@nicolaslandry7102]

Its better NEVER to use the arc shot when playing in multi, please bow users think about your close range fellows, its hell when you are under that thing

[@koloth5139]

Even worse for Insect glaive. You line up a nice attack hoping for a mount and you get knocked out of the air by the damn bow user over and over and over.

[@feircy]

Koloth there has been a plague recently of people flashbombing the monster out of a mount lately. Idk why but they always do that shit like halfway through, when you know they saw what was going on

[@koloth5139]

That doesn't bother me nearly as much but yeah. Waste of a flash pod for one. And second you don't get nearly as long on the downed monster as a mount knock down would give you. And probably the worst part is mount resistance because now you have to chip away at it again. But at least you are able to do some damage unlike with the arc shot knocking you out of the air. I swear some bow users do it on purpose.

[@mihaimihaita5791]

Just started MHW on PC. And i was looking for a bow guide and i wanna say thank you for this video! It was very clear and explicit, i would like to see more MHW content, you do a really good job 🤗 . U have a sub from me 👍

[@zeruszephuros5419]

When switching from melee to a ranged weapon, people always say to use bow back then (it was MHP3rd and MH4G for me). But it was never comfortable for me, can't shoot this thing properly, went to light bowgun instead ._." (Later HBG in MHXX). Finally used bow in MHW because of how accessable they make it with all weapons.

[@Treiunrey]

Dash maintains max charges, Don't dash to build charges but Dash to prevent losing charges. If you use Constitution, even if only from Dash Juice you shouldn't have much stamina issues, or if you have max level constitution, you should be able to spam Dash R2 and 0 weaving in and out of the monsters ranged. R2 will lose a charge, O won't. Make sure you dash only when needed. Also, not moving your aim after shooting locks it to that place. If you aim at the monsters head, dash to the left your character will still aim at the head. This way you can spam Dash to maintain max charges burst the enemy down and re position yourself when the enemy moves, in that time the monster is moving your stamina will recover and you can repeat your spam.

[@DarkHeroCC]

Also I am I the only one shouting Ryuga Waga Teki Wo Kurau whenever I fire a Dragon Piercer??

As a new player, this video helped a lot ^^ thanks. Didn't know any of those combos were possible >.>

[@X3r0xMachina]

You failed to mention that directly after firing a shot, if you evade the bow will stay aimed at the last position you shot for a few seconds

[@Sayanos1]

Dash dance your way to victory, also dragon piercer the beatlejuice for MASSIVE damage

[@sandune02]

correction. you need only hold R2+O to do the arch shot

[@StardustKing]

Nice video! I'll be sure to keep these Tips in mind whenever I try out the bow.

[@tannermilo]

just spam r2 and keep at critical distance that's all you need to do the rest is overated and keep that dodge button handy because you will get 2 shot

Didn't know the charge kept going that's sweet

[@christopherrobinson3857]

You could also list some good armor abilities to use for the weapon.

[@dawsonfoo5886]

Do LBG next!! The sister/brothrr to the bow

[@sayxxdx]

I just wanna know what song was used in the beginning. It's a really cool Drum n Bass.

[@timpetricca]

Great video, very helpful! I'm new to the series and can't figure out how to run sideways while charging up a bow shot. I try to use L3 & R3 but all my character does is strafe left and right; he doesn't turn and run. How do I fix this? I feel like I'm missing something obvious lol

[@bryanrafosala580]

ill have to disagree, circle shot is actually the strongest shot possible. by doing slide to spread shot uses 5 arrows that deals lvl 2 arrow damage so it deals more damage. so best when KO unit is (O+R2+O) also its a quite fast combo

[@MurderTechnique]

Thumbs up. So helpful! 👍

Cool video buddy, enjoyed it :)

waaa.....thanks bro for sharing this video , ok this is for PS4 right can u show on PC keyboard how to control it

The worst part about dragon piercer is when the monster is so long you actually see it doing out-of-range-damage halfway through.

And it is impossible to hunt a teostra with bow. Bow was my main and I move to insect glaive after this shit

pls answer ';)

What layered armor are you wearing?

[@thrustfrombehind9869]

When running up the mushroom wall " deals pretty good damage" PRETTY GOOD!??? PREETTTYY GOOD!???? IT CAN DEAL DAMAGE LIKE A TRUCK IF THE MONSTER IS IN THE RIGHT DISTANCE

[@laszloemphasis9770]

Hmm think its bad at 1v2 because when you shoot your slow and the othe monster just hit you but the bowgun is better at both 1v1 and 1v2 because your faster plus if you use the bow in 1v3 your dead because they will just hit you and its hard to escape

[@Shiro.1291]

what should i do? i looked so many 'witch weapon to pick, when'... im in love with bow and insect glaive... i just want to be fast, damage and good in the endgame

Good vid!!

[@djbreal87]

I just got into this game. Ive been using a hammer cause I like to smash, but I find it difficulty to deal damage consistently. Ive been considering using the bow, as my brother who has about 400 hours into the game, hunter level 150, he uses a bow. But I didnt want to be a copy cat. Is a hammer build viable or should I switch to bow while im still pretty early game?

[@guyperson7487]

Should I use this or use the huge sword

[@rockydatan8942]

Tnx for this video.

[@35infinite]

What's good equipment and decorations to use to help with the stamina drain while using the bow?

[@XDD50Hz]

Tom Badguy constitution charm will be a good choice, but if you have the gem that's even better. it provides a better consistency in your hunt. and I would recommend invest 3 points into this skill, it gives you a decent cut in stamina drain without hurting your damage skills.

[@tannermilo]

yes constitution is a must and theres another one so you replenish faster but id rather have these over critical eye or weakness exploit so you can spam the dodge r2 dodge r2 etc

[@stevenburnett1232]

great video

[@vlegendkiller7201]

Quick question as i said im new to the game and series. Ive only used the long sword. With the bow do i have to craft ammo for this?

[@mounds1471]

You only have to craft or purchase coatings. Close range coating is infinite, but the rest aren't.

[@CapucineNighly]

Well I've been always a hammer type of girl, but at times I do use the bow.

[@ScrawzJp]

What set r y using . Can u show ?

[@BosSoxFan15]

BBk can you do your next video on the Switch Axe. Lately I've been playing with that and loving it. I told my friends about how I have enjoyed it and 2 of them are now trying it out and enjoying it as well. The reason I ask you do the weapon though is that I haven't found to many guides on the weapon and I think some ppl are missing out on its potential.

[@BosSoxFan15]

Also I loved the video. I love the bow as its my go to weapon against monsters that are annoying when all they do is fly in the air.

[@35infinite]

Switch axe is super awesome

[@LookTheresJosh]

can you do a video about the hammer?

[@Alecuba97]

I'm new player on MHW 5h so far: Something that I problably missed, do I need to buy emmo to use the Bow? Is it infite emmo?

[@tannermilo]

its infinite ammo you only need too farm for coatings which are overated imo you just get the perk for normal ammo damage and your all sweet

[@Alecuba97]

[@Missletone2]

Coatings can be bought as well if you’re sick and tired of farming for it

[@chromagna9755]

Rubben Delgado Your probably not using it right then. There are many speed runs clocking under a couple of minutes against ever elder dragons.

[@Sayanos1]

You're not doing it right. Dash dancing gets you affinity full power shots until you run out of stamina, churning out 25's at 3 hits a pop. That means 75 damage every shot btw. If we calculate that my build can do 10 dash dance shots I'm clocking in 750 damage with every stamina almost depleted, btw, I dash more than ten times this is just so you see the numbers. So, my stamina goes back to full? I get another 750 and this is without power coating btw. Also, long monsters get **** on by 56 to 70 damage a pop through their whole bodies

[@jothamdaledejesus2708]
