Wild Hearts - Bow Weapon Guide & Tutorial, Best Combos, Skills, Tips & Tutorial

[@lrivabem]

I think it's important to point out that the game uses somewhat confusing wording. I've spent my first 30 hours or so thinking that any skill with "fatigue" on it was related only to the fatigue condition but no. There's Fatigue Alleviation which reduces the comsumption of stamina which I think is very worth it for the Bow (and for the Nodachi too, I guess)

[@dezmundtv962]

i was playing bow and enjoying it at first but.. something felt missing in the playstyle for me, using celestial thread for the aerial advantage and maneuvering really brings out the best aspects of the bow and makes up for the rigid and stationary nature of it, WOW can't thank you enough for that tip.

[@sonryu1934]

Don't get me wrong I love MHW Iceborne, MH Rise bow but this takes it to another whole levels and new gameplay experience with Wild Hearts Bow 🏹. Definitely one of my main weapons besides Katana, Nodachi.

[@hadoken95]

I couldn't stand the bow in World or Rise, but it's my main weapon in Wild Hearts.

[@ryean8212]

I prefer bow in World, I really enjoy the simplicity and at the same time complexity of shoot/dodge/shoot/dodge to keep weapon charge, But I'm not a big fan of bow in Rise with all the Pierce/Spread/Rapid types and Switch Skills and all that, so in that, Wild Hearts beats Rise but not World for me.

[@c5mt10zxq8]

I was bow main pre-Iceborne. I like the Wild Hearts bow more. I find it more fun and visually appealing with the explosives. I’m a ranged weapon person, so when I was stuck with the katana for the first two monsters, I nearly quit the game. I think the bow is also like my only weapon option in Wild Hearts. Lol.

[@Abbe10able]

I'm not the only person converted to bow user in this game 😁

[@shyygun120]

Great video! One thing I will add is the volley shot is better if you aim the arch at the monster instead of the circle....if that makes sense

[@Akihito_Kanbara]

Exactly this. And if you do it in melee range you just successfully planted 247,093 arrows into the monster. I've been combining that with a wall jump combo to kill monsters in less than 4 minutes (and before they can run).

[@JesseFJacks]

I just commented on the same thing, but hopefully it gets the word around! The ark marker becomes a Lazer scope I swear!

[@Abbe10able]

Yep, think i learned this yesterday, the dmg i was missing 😅

[@Akihito_Kanbara]

@@Abbe10able take it a step further. Build a large wall, jump off it to immediately fire a bolstered charge shot. When you land you will automatically be bolstered to +2. Unleash your volley, wall jump shot, volley, forever.

[@Abbe10able]

@@Akihito_Kanbara that is what i used to do, but now i'm addicted to celestial thread, but going to start end game content now, might be time to used walls again to be more safe, thanks :)

Also, during the volley, after you dodge, you can use attack 1 and immediately start charging for your resonated arrow. You just need enough stamina to roll first. When monsters get trapped or topple this is a great combo for getting as many arrows as you can before your big burst.

[@Supa262]

Bow main for life!!

[@bruceblack9975]

You know it 😎

[@Abbe10able]

I never enjoyed a bow like i do in this game, all mh i used melee weapons, in this one i enjoy the new claw blade, but bow is amazing, specially at last boss, we were 3 bow's and melted him 😅 Celestial thread is a must for me. Thanks

[@davidp.6337]

I’m addicted to this game. Great video!!

[@zace7951]

A good full combo is making a harpoon when you start off fighting the monster have a full bolster horizontal aimed at the monster part you want to break and then making a 3 box high to break it. Also the bonus of the boxes is that if the monster fell over or isn't attacking you you can constantly repeat it. Cause when you launch the box jumping attack you fly backwards after the shot and the distance is the same distance you jump from the box so you can just repeat that over and over and it has a really high chance of toppling I've had a 2 toppling combo just spamming that. Also a problem with the glider is that you can only shoot 180 degrees in front of you so unless it's upgraded to turn it's hard to hit constitantly plus a lot of monsters can hit you off it

[@DirEnGay]

I'm glad everybody is enjoying this game. I'm enjoying it too, but I'm playing on PS5 and since the patch a few days ago and reaching game completion status, my game is now just borderline unplayable. At first it was the Natsukodachi Isle map when the blue flames appear, but even past that phase my game is mostly in the 20FPS region, and honestly it dips to single digits sometimes, it's become horrible and I'm bitter about playing it now. Recently this has started happening in my other regions too. I'm pretty frustrated to be honest, they need to fix it ASAP and I don't hear enough people talk about similar issues on console. The slow FPS also slows down the game, so a 10 minute hunt takes literally 20-30 minutes of pure slow motion.

[@bdbgh]

One tip to get more shots into the monster faster is to move to medium to close range and target the volley further away so that the arc targeting line goes through the monster, you don't have to wait for the arrow to reach peak of the arc and comeback down to pelt the monster with the arrows, basically you're firing straight ahead instead of up and over. Certain monsters have easy places you can get in a volley without too much unavoidable risk, like standing under the lavabacks crotch or near the kingtusk tail. One thing I'm curious about is, what is the maximum amount of weak arrows before it starts to replacing the existing ones, 3/4 of a volley? 1 volley? more than that? I've also had a bug where the weak arrows just disappear without doing any damage.

[@bluesynth7958]

It seems to be about a volley and a half of Haya arrows that you can successfully place and detonate, pllacing anymore the game seems to cap how many can even be on a monster at once Damage also seems capped for me around 14k if you detonate a full Haya volley that's been double bolstered with a double bolstered Otoya shot (though most monsters will not give you the time to detonate with a double bolstered Otoya which is why the you want to cycle your double bolstered Haya volley and spring/glider mid-air Otoya shot combo, unless you have good combat control with your Karukuri) All this I tested on a training dummy with the Emberplume bow, and a stamina-centric build.

[@TheJedaiHero9000]

Definitely enjoyed watching this Wild Hearts vid of the Bow Would like to see a guide vid for the Nodachi, since I Most Definitely like Greatswords

[@JesseFJacks]

I always see people pulling the volly back to rain on top of the monster, however I find that pushing the area forward for most monsters is better. It will make it shoot straight forward giving you better control of where you land your charge bolts as well.

[@TheBlakamon15]

This is true but at the same time it best to figure out how to control the volley from different distances. Sometimes you are just not close enough to pull the volley straight to hit the monster. So knowing how to hit the monster from different angles is good too.

[@Sissy_Foxx24]

Thanks for showing me that I've been using the bow wrong this whole time lol

[@hennaim4643]

Love your videos, BTW at 1:04 it says at the top CLAW BLADE GUIDE

[@ArekkzGaming]

Ah I missed that! My bad, thanks for the heads up! 🙇‍♂️

[@diaz3139]

did expect this one to be such a monster thanks for the info are you guys gonna do a katana vid like this one?

[@ShuToshio]

Wait. Does that mean when I'm in vertical bow, I can springboard, launch 5 arrows, and straight away go into detonating them with my next charged vertical shot?

[@iliyasismail4562]

Set them volleys and watch em go BOOM

[@thirdyqwerty3954]

did you know when doing the volley shot, just push th stick forward, from arc aiming it turns into a just aim direction like feeling. given the target is not far. hahahah

[@B-dude-]

Really hope they fix more of the performance issues I really enjoy the game but it’s practically unplayable on ps5 sometimes

[@TheWhiteRose014]

As a bow main in MH, I vastly prefer WH's bow because there's a lot more to it than MH's. It's so much more fun to use with all the mobility and burst damage. Also in general, there's so a lot more options for bows in this game than MH. I really hope MH continues to revise their weapons as the series goes on. Wirebugs were a good step but they need more. IMO. Especially after having played this game.

[@lucaslima457]

Honestly, the combo with the helicopter becomes extremely slow at the end of the game when fighting solo against high volatiles. The only karakuri you need is the celestial anchor, with it at maximum improvement, you can use the same anchor 4 times, thus making up for the expense, not to mention that it is indestructible, and literally only works when you need it. My combo is as follows, I start with the level 2 horizontal bow, I release stamina, in the animation of the last attack I invoke the anchor together with pressing forward to use it, I fly to the target (get closer or gain distance) and in the air I use the charged shot, making a chain explosion and landing with a level 2 horizontal arc and full stamina. I repeat this until the end. The cost is low and the anchor allows me to fly around the map, being more mobile and positioning myself more quickly where I want.

[@zachraymond3804]

If possible could you add the umbrella☂️ Tutorial... I'm have difficulty with the parry feature

[@typicalgoodguyclub4games]

The parry in early game is quite hard if you not used to, but later in the game you can get the parry timing skill in the weapon to make it easier

[@THE-SUNEATER]

Tbh,I’m using the bow Intel I get the hand cannon simply because I main range weapons in monster hunter

[@Shacko117]

BBSA will not work when using the glider Air attack. You have to be on the ground using it

[@davidsimmons4731]

I love the bow

[@kalechips4599]

Hope y’all are having fun. Had to refund the game on pc and wait even longer for it to be fixed. I wanna play so bad but performance was making it unplayable

[@DirEnGay]

It's like that for me on PS5 too, especially after a recent patch and progressing through the main story. I get single digits FPS sometimes and it stays for the entire hunt. It's on performance mode with 60 as the target and plays mostly in the 20's. The slow FPS also slows down the game, so a 10 minute hunt takes literally 20-30 minutes of pure slow motion.

[@StillWeRide]

Bummer. I'm on ps5 and it's fine so far but I'm on chapter 2. Sucks performance is so bad. The game is fucking great. It's fun as hell and does so many things right. Really hope they iron it all out because this game is legit fun. Really hope we get a sequel

[@aka-stavy3926]

That sucks. I installed it on my SSD after having a bunch of crashes back to back. Blue screened a couple times. I honestly think it has something to do cpu side because changing settings in graphics literally gives me maybe 5 fps more than on high. Horribly optimized for pc, but the game was so fun. Can't wait until it's fixed so I can enjoy it too.. I feel your pain Oh my point, SSD seemed to help a little but I was still only pushing 50fps mid to high 30s in a busy fight

[@Akihito_Kanbara]

​@@DirEnGay huh? I've been playing since the first minute on PS5 and the only issue I've experienced in my 60 hours was audio messing up. Performance has been solid. Maybe open your PS5 and see if it needs to be cleaned out. If it's full of dust it's going to overheat and lower performance.

[@Akihito_Kanbara]

They patched it a few days ago. It's good to go on PC now.

[@dannelson6603]

nodachi guide plz

[@thegoat4314]

Bladed wagasa

[@FragCJ]

Karakuri Staff guide when? =D

[@iph2]

I hate how awkward the bow looks when looking up , ridiculous goes up but no change in the body mechanics , little things like that are bothering me

[@judgementlaw7881]

I main bow and it's fun don't get me wrong. But sometimes when I try to explode the damn arrows, it does either 1 DMG and doesn't explode or all my arrows just disappeared

[@pitbullnamedcupcake8485]

I’ve noticed that too but I also noticed it happens to me at long ranges. I think it’s intentional. You might have to be in that “critical distance” for the detonation to work

[@TheBlakamon15]

Bow is a mid range weapon. If you too far you do less damage.

[@zZ_GHOS7_Zz]

The arrows only stick if you're in range which is indicated by your reticle being orange instead of white.

[@Heisencat680]

Can you olso make bow guide for monster hunter rise?

[@DatBoiRatchet]

There's tons of bow guide for mh rise here on KZbin that you can easily watch. Why ask this question?

[@guardiantko3220]

I have no idea how the hell you're able to move around to flawlessly, I feel like my feet are stuck in CONCRETE when using the bow, it is absurd. Not to mention how the bow state, hori/verti never is what I except drawing of the weapon to be, it's always the opposite of what I think it's on.

[@WarbossMorgorTeefsmasha]

this game does not do good at explaining weapons cus i tried bow and was like "this weapon is like being planted in the ground i have more mobility with the nodachi" then i hear people being like bow is such a high mobility weapon and i'm like huh?

[@Godofantz]

Watches first ten seconds of video... I'm not playing this game right 🤣

[@TELEVISIBLE]

If only it is not lagging this game is good

[@TheBlakamon15]

I am curious in what circumstances this is happening. I have been playing on Xbox series X and I have both online with other players and solo and I have not have any performance issues yet. Eventhough I have heard so many players on that platform complain issues.

[@Ob-qn8yd]

Did this guy rip off Moxsyys thumbnail?

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

Yeah doing 58k damage is nice.

[@tabarnacus5629]

Wtf is that? An ugly version of monster hunter?

[@byakko9535]
