The BEST HEAVY BOWGUNS! ALL Monster Types! Full META Analysis! l Monster Hunter Now

[@williamsonier7578]

I'd like to add that the rajang hbg is even stronger than what the data shows since it does not actually care about the -30% affinity, it only negatively affect the ult all the rest is explosive damage and cant crit or negative crit! You even have offensive guard 2 slapped on it it's crazy good I have mine at 10 2 and the damage is crazy.

[@stevechicaiza2427]

woah I was scared to upgrade it bc of the neg affinity, THANK YOU!!

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Oh that’s a good point! I totally forgot about that 😂 Glad it’s working well for you! Are you planning on maxing it?

[@strangerfwable]

From Ur video 9:09

[@williamsonier7578]

​@KINGOFCHARMANDERS I am, I'm currently 2 goldenpelts away from maxing it, and since it's on the map right now, I'm hunting for it! I'll try and solo 8* solo kushala daora when I have it maxed! I have a defensive loading 2 guard 4 setup ready to try and do it or my thunder 5 if it's not as reliable as I thought

[@muhammadsyafii7913]

For those who just started building HBG from the start, i just build this weapon : 1. Thunder : Zinogre HBG 2. Ice : Legiana HBG 3. Water : Mizutsune 4. Fire : Anjanath I just built those 4 HBG. The hard weapon to upgrade is Mizutsune because it's rare for monsters to spawn in dimensional Link. I skip the elder dragon weapon because they were really expensive for me to buy a ticket for EDI. Just my opinion and See you on the Hunt, Hunters 😁😁

[@uthred6849]

I started playing 19 days ago. But very active. My screen was full of Magnamalos so I started go after them and building the heavy bowgun. I guess I saw so many of those because I haven't finished the prologue. Seems so it was a great decision to go after this guy. Now at level 8 I can kill any 6 star in seconds 😅

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Welcome! Glad you’re having fun! Let us know if you have any questions. If I don’t answer I’ll try to find it!

[@uthred6849]

Many thanks, I wish you a great time in Japan! Looking forward to your content from there! At the moment thanks to your channel no open questions. I viewed a lot backwards.

[@leilo9157]

with the teostra HBG they rlly made justice for him due his.. LBG (if we can even call that a LBG) to the point that for me (and acording to data) is the best fire weap in the game! i compared my Rathalos LBG 8.5 vs Teostra HBG 6.5.. and that was an absolute massacre.. from the Teostra HBG. i dont know how even being way lower was able to do better and faster than the Rathalos LBG also thanks for the video and builds ^^

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

RIGHT!? Teostra LBG is so bad it’s odd lol. You’re totally right about the difference it’s like night and day. I’m glad at least one bowguns worth going for if you really want it 😅 Appreciate your support! 🙏

[@jinwan3088]

Wait wait, you're saying the Teostra 6.5 HBG is better than the 8.5 Rathalos LBG? If you confirm, I might make one... just didn't want to waste materials.

[@johndavidnoche8294]

Nice video. Looking forward to the builds. Btw can you use the HBG build for the LBG?

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

You can…but you would have to run the data comparison because LBGs need RS and RD at Lv. 3 by default.

[@johndavidnoche8294]

I see. thank you.

[@xclusive2168]

Does the hbg do more damage than lbg?

[@AriFox83]

Should we add coral pukei hbg on poison too?

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Not really. Most of the damage comes from your water damage shots. The pure poison ones are better suited to inflict poison conistently.

[@tyleranderson5183]

Kind of funny that, despite being a sub-par fire HBG, the Basarios HBG outdamages the specialized poison and sleep HBGs!🤣 HBG has been interesting though…might even go with the Legiana one since progress on my Kushala LBG is stalled and it shreds black diablos pretty good. I’ll be looking forward to the builds video for ideas!😁

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

I know right! 😂 although it’s only towards fire, but still the sleep and poison ammo it can totally do more damage overtime or even outperform the others like you mentioned 😖

[@mucerp2]

I love hbg so much. I play guard defensive load with wyvern ammo for fun. But I'm waiting til the day a spread to spread ammo hbg comes out. I'd love a shotgun build like back in mhw

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

It definitely needs a buff to make it better 😫 but yeah I wish it reflected its mhw cousin more.

[@MrMojackoman]

Also a fan of this shotgun type of game play. Also playing HBG with zinogre plus defensive loading. I love it 🤘

[@agamfierce]

I have 9.4 zinogre bow but im not yet build any rajang weapon do you thing what better have rajang bow or build rajang hgb ?

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Unless you already have a max weapon of one element. Dont build another one. It can get really expensive unless you just have that many materials just lying around. Stick with Zinogre Bow and get it to 10.4.

[@christophmehler7995]

Maybe the Anjanath one is weaker, but good lord, this thing shredds.

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

For sure! Considering the best option is an elder dragon surprised it goes that high

[@someone999555]

I am very surprised by magnamalo hbg. Ive been building it with spare materials because i dont care about the other magnamalo weapons(im building teo), but i didnt expect it to actually be the best in an optimal setting

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Right!? I was like woah. I was wrong. I thought it sucked lol.

[@codyturk6621]

Yo I think I just played a Kushala raid with you, I was the rajang HBG (CubADubDub)

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

That was me! Sorry for the terrible performance lol. I wasn't fully paying attention and my build was totally off. Twas an honor!

[@codyturk6621]

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS was my pleasure! We all have our off hunts! Hope to hunt again some day!

[@RagingfanaticTV]

The Heavy bow gun is feeling kind of weak. It’s a cool weapon I really hope it gets buffed soon to be viable

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

You’re definitely right. It desperately needs a mobility buff for it to be great when it can’t quickly take out monsters.

[@loneranger6953]

Some of your comparisons data is off. I see you didn’t apply recoil down lvl 3 too all weapons. From your chart I see some of weapon you only apply recoil down lvl 1 instead of 3 for some of the weapon. Unless I seeing something different.

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

That’s because you don’t need recoil 3 for all of them. This data takes into account the optimal one you need. If it says 3 in here then that’s the best one in the most practical setting.

[@Kuma04]

Barioth's Icicle Assault last? What? The "very slow" reload speed is very detrimental in BGs & HBGs, causing either to * dodge twice then reload * block and maybe if monster is not super aggro reaload * or get sent flying or killed. (specially in solo gameplay) The only one that doesn't have the very slow reload speed is the Icicle Assault. The other two have it twice. Wyvernheart is also easier to hit than Wyvernsnipe, especially in HATs and EDIs when teammates usually knockback the monster you just used your special on making you miss.

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

^This. But honestly, without a lot of main series features the HBG is super limited for its mobility. I love strafe firing in main series and sniper mode. HBG is really gutted in MHN.

[@michaelbrianuy8322]

Just checked in the mhn quest website. BD HBG has the best raw damage. Or maybe I'm missing something after comparing 5 builds of each.

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Turn on the practically tab. If it’s off it won’t take the negative affinity into account.

[@michaelbrianuy8322]

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS I see. Thank you.

Bro, silver rathalos ???

But to hunt down teostra is really frustrating for me 😂😂😂 and need spend ticket for it

[@mightyravino7069]

Where would HBG be in a weapons tier list?

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Not very high sadly. I’ll have that tier list video out soon!

[@XanguiniusMHN]

I love all the HBG they are all amazing, honestly ! And great content man!

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Appreciate you!

[@aronricardo9319]

I was waiting for this

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Hope it helps!

[@TheCountSummon]

Can anyone explain me what "Bowgun Fix" means in the stats?

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

That means the math when taking the reload and recoil into account for the bow guns.

[@TheCountSummon]

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS I see, thank you!

[@strangerfwable]

Ice heavy bow gun second is barioth and legiana was last.

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Not sure how you got that. LBG yeah. But running all the combos HBG is legi 2nd.

[@strangerfwable]

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS 9:09 in your own video graphics shown it.

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Ohhh my bad. The reason I don’t highlight it is because Barioth isn’t out on the field right now. The difference between Barioth and Legi is really small too. Overall, not worth stressing over Barioth.

[@mini4dailytech982]

Time to update the hbg list bro

[@KINGOFCHARMANDERS]

Oh thats a good point haha. It'll come out soon!
