Wild Hearts - Which Weapon is Best For You? All 8 Weapons Breakdown - Karakuri Staff, Cannon & More!

[@RageGamingVideos]

Here's a look at the armor and how skills work and whats best for you to craft early: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJu8eqaad62qnJo What's your favourite weapon so far?

[@docdragon0796]

The staff

[@bronumero7334]

Wagasa.

[@Lakita2880]

Patience. Since that's what I'm forced to wield until I can play the game lol

[@overseer1018]

both range weapons imma nuked the fuck out them monsters

[@Exceige]

Guidance main in mh. Eyeing that Canon for play.

[@narmer9804]

It may not be the most effective or easy weapon, but you cannot beat the tone of beating your opponent with an umbrella.

[@gxgaming7560]

My thoughts exactly. Has Asian parent vibes 😆😆😆

[@Kogasengaha_Hishoshi]

@@gxgaming7560 Pff, An umbrella is an Asian Martial Artists fav weapon. Being a parent is a side job lol

[@Wafelkowiec]

You need to learn how to chanel that angry grandma energy.

[@nickolasaday6777]

I have been a LS main in monster Hunter for to long to parry with an umbrella

[@MrHollowfied]

I love that damn umbrella. It just feels right

[@JustSomeSchmuck]

I know this probably wont matter to most people but I LOVE that you can see the influence of both toukiden weapons and monster hunter weapons blended together, as I am a big fan of toukiden and monster hunter, with toukiden having some of my favorite weapon styles of any monster hunter esk game

[@irvan566]

Surprised more people havnt noticed that tidbit its one of the few reasons I'm more excited for this game

[@technodude458]

Toukiden is absolutely amazing and it deserves more love

[@Happygg6]

I was a spear and rifle main in Toukiden 🤙 dabbled in the club but didn't like it as much as Great sword from MH. I really like how the nodachi is handled in Wild Hearts though. Very fun

[@darenh355]

weapons are all so unique. I do hope they add a shield weapon. it would definetly be a unique one if so.

[@stay60feetawayfromme33]

They should add Dual Wield Tower Shields, Elden Ring style 😅

[@Breagle]

I'd love them to add a weapon that IS the shield. It would be extreme unique and if done well, I think it would complete the roster of weapons.

[@Vektor480]

@@Breagle blocking, shield bashing, throwing it like a boomerang... I'd main that, no doubt. Would love if it weren't a towershield either, just a simple combat buckler you bash monsters with

[@darenh355]

@@Vektor480 my take is duel shields like the ones that Captain America had in infinity war. They are the acting fist weapons. Attacking, blocking, and countering builds up a bar and when maxed you combined the dual shields into a giant shield that you can use to throw like a boomerang, fly across the field like a beyblade, or just continue bashing

[@Breagle]

@@Vektor480 Perhaps even some transformation akin to that of the Shield Hero's shield. Like, different shield forms will have different combos and/or abilities.

[@aner_bda]

As someone that has spent a lot of time playing SnS in MH Rise and Sunbreak, the maul's playstyle interests me. It seems a lot like the Perfect Rush combo with SnS, but with much bigger numbers.

[@jameskeller3425]

was about to say that but couldn't remember what that move was called

[@Saeryfim]

As someone with a ton of time on SnS over the years, Maul has been an absolute blast. Wasn't really sure why it clicked so well, but that would do it. Even without a visual cue for the timing when your character is just a silhouette behind the monster, the timing is really easy to get used to and that would explain why, lol.

[@melpharia7707]

@@Saeryfim as someone with lots of times MH i agree

[@meep5886]

How do you like the game? Compared to MH

[@aner_bda]

@@meep5886 It's fun. It has its issues, and it's still a bit rough around the edges, but at the same time, it took Capcom almost 20 years for Monster Hunter to get to where it is, so I can't fault that too much. If you're a fan of Monster Hunter, give it a go. It has a lot of cool twists in "kill monster to get parts to kill bigger monster" theme. The base building and using the karakuri aspects make it really, really fun.

[@kyoakux6756]

Bow at first I was like oh this is so little damage then realized afterwards how to use it after some excruciating testing and was highly intrigued.

[@Tybear-qz4bx]

I might go bow myself.

[@arbitrationengine803]

I vibe with the staff, reminds me immediately of the switchglaive, but as an insect glaive main I also have my eye on the umbrella and claw blade

[@darrionrobinson8553]

The staff is meant for us who love charge blade with all our heart

[@Millzé86]

As someone white 3k ls hunts im useing the staff

[@DembiBrox]

I use switch axe so I’m definitely use that staff

[@dylanabernethy8676]

It’s actually for those of us that can’t settle on one Monster Hunter weapon

[@klissattack]

I'm all for it

[@luistijerina1164]

All of the above, seems really fun

[@tomvallieres4241]

For the nodachi, as long as you're holding the special button, you can continue to hit the monster to deal damage AND charge your gauge faster instead of waiting.

[@RaraPremium]

Special button? Like R2/right trigger?... I hold that and love using the springs to recharge my stamina and get ready 2 hits in to charge the bar faster and a dodge

[@usnairframer]

The "Staff" is interesting, but I feel like they took 5 unique weapons and put them into one rather than just giving people access to those 5 weapons. The ultra great sword notwithstanding, the other weapons would have been good standalone weapons by themselves, so they seem to have hamstrung themselves a bit and reduced the overall weapon count

[@BlacIyc]

would of been nice to use a 'whole' giant shuriken weapon

[@thisistheway4011]

They might implement full move sets for each mutation but then the weapon might become meta because why use anything else when you have a one all do all type of weapon

[@usnairframer]

@@BlacIyc that was actually the one I was thinking about the most. It seems like it would have been great for this game

[@docdragon0796]

The staff seems so good, a bit of everything

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

I just want to play every single weapon. They all look so fun.

[@Princess_Narii]

Bit of a shame this game doesn't have a real defensive weapon. Would have loved something like a shield. I think that even in MH itself the shield has untapped potential Hoped for something like that in Wild Hearts but sadly, they didn't add any defensive weapon at all. The umbrella i guess is the closest thing to that

[@Crispy77760]

the umbrella the guy just said to block counter or parry with it. in order to fill the gauge you have to do the blocks or counters. it may not be what you expected but doesnt mean it wont be good. it different and i like different.

[@XonixDerps]

MHW Lance was my fav version of it... mostly since the shield felt used the most including clutch claw variant of it. WOuld love it if WH had something akin to that though sadly not too into umbrellas

[@Javiolanti]

@@Crispy77760 Downside to umbrella, in my experience so far, is that the counter window is very small. Higher ranked ones seem to increase the counter window a bit, but I don't know if later mobs have uncounterable attacks. It's certainly not in the same vein as lance, which has a very long counter window and a very large shield to block blows.

[@Princess_Narii]

@@Javiolanti The umbrella is more like a Longsword. I wanna be able to block and such. I loved the Gunlance, Sword and Shield, and Charge Blade which have all good abilities to block. Damn even the HBG is great! Something the lance didnt do properly is set itself appart from the above. I think the lance should have had something like a Wallblock as if the monster is running in to a wall. I was kinda hoping something like that in Wild hearts and while it exist its build in to its weird Fortnight build mechanic rather then in a weapon. Also the weapons of WH are overly simplistic even worse then the Dauntless weapons and even the most simple weapons of MH are vastly more complex then the most complex weapon of WH... To keep me entirsed in to a game I need divercity and I dont think WH will do that for rme.

[@Matthias129]

Yeah, I certainly hope they'll add some weapons as they go. Would love to see something like a Karakuri Gauntlet/Shield where as you attack you build up a gauge that then let's you deploy the gauntlet as a shield (or just deploy the shield) in front of yourself, or even better if you could deploy it on your tsukumo or another player, and if the monster hits it you unleash a big counter, flying to the shield's location if it was deployed on someone else. Really add that tank energy by letting you help protect someone from a hit, especially if it protects them while they're setting up their big hit and you get your follow up as well.

[@Y0G0FU]

After testing the first 5 Weapons i loved the Nodachi.. but when the second wave unlocked the Claw Sword has me hooked.. its SO much fun and super satisfying to dodge the attack and then rush in for big dmg :D

[@alecfillipitch870]

This is exactly what I went through

[@AlkisGD]

This game will separate the MH players who play LS for the aesthetic (like me) from those who play it for the mechanics only. The umbrella sounds cool af, but those katana unsheath attacks … I could never get tired of them 🤤

[@TheBlakeWhitaker]

8:25 My jaw when you made that staff turn into UBU's axe from YuYu Hakusho :O :O :O :O

[@NixonKane]

I am using the Mall Staff (main), Katana for combos and Umbrella just for curious, but I think I'm going to play with the staff in the future. Love the mutations!

[@alenezi989a3]

The Katana seems really interesting. I like that it splits into a segemented blade. I was wishing for an explosion type weapon like the gunlance or Switch Axe. I am a Powder Keg at heart afterall unfortunately none of the weapons fills that category. So currently I'm interested in the Katana, Bow, Staff and Canon. I'm least interested in the hammer, the odachi and the claw weapon. Which all seem exactly like their MH counterpart. The umbrella is interesting. I like the counter heavy style, but I don't like the aesthetic. It feels weird to use an umbrella as a weapon.

[@1deeman2]

For the katana you can animation cancel into the big slash combo

[@zerox168]

[@utomoaditya2095]

So the staff that can turn into tonfa like dual blades, greatsword, a shuriken, and naginata (a blade with long hilt like spear) man what a weapon

[@adamoo666]

I think in the staff they are tonfa not dual blades. thats hype for me

[@drewsefton3366]

I was going to mention the same thing, looks very much like bladed Tonfa. You beat me to it lol.

[@N-Re-Kay]

Why the vid at 360p though?? Hard to tell what’s what when pixels are so large

[@revyreigns1718]

Bow with glider opens its use and damage a lot btw. Use it to hit a hard shot, into a full charge volley to apply arrows, the glide right after to detonate the arrows with the power shot. Extremely high dps that is mobile to dodge and move away while throwing in top dps. Only downside is if you run out of karakuri/thread points, but after one or two volleys, the bosses can be harvested for thread to continue onslaught.

[@Dnangel70]

thank you for this i saw the trailer and thought how close this game was to monster hunter and thought that i might just stick to ol reliable LONG SWORD but now you got me wanting to use at least 3 new weapons lol thank you and i cant wait to play this game so glad i pre ordered it, next can you guys a make a video on armor, like if its similar to monster hunter or different in any special way?

Well, it's no Swagaxe but that staff looks like my cup of tea, that is until I learn the game better and then I'm gonna try the umbrella

[@Spinexus]

As a CB, Swaxe player as of now i think the umbrella, 5 weapons in one and the maul look great.

[@Raidon484]

If you use the umbrella, there's something to be said about that. Because in a world of beings that shape nature to their whim, you saw hunters and samurai alike being slaughtered and somehow still thought to your self that those people were playing on easy mode because they used things like swords. So, instead of doing that, you stuck some razor blades to an umbrella and called it a day. Your weapon of choice relies on you either having good timing or a lot of patience plus a very thick head, because you will either need knowledge or an effective strategy to avoid concussions to use this thing effectively. Why exactly the person bringing something that can normally barely keep sunrays at bay to a fight is also the person who puts his head on the chopping block more than the people using actual weapons is probably as beyond you as it is beyond anyone else who sees you, however there is no denying that once you get in the zone you become virtually untouchable. Despite being the spiritual predecessor to Marry Poppins, you do seem to have a non-neglectable anger issue, since the feeling you get when seeing your spindance gauge deplete has imbued you with an undying agression toward anything that exists within your direct line of sight and looks remotely like a kemono. Other hunters are persistent, damage aficionados or maybe just calm and collected maksmen and fighters. You however are a hyperactive/-agressive nutjob with an umbrella you absolutely do not possess a license for. You make me proud.

[@larrythehoverfish3745]

Sir yaps allot

[@DJ-fb9cf]

Maybe after recieving some competition MH will finally add prowler back in!

[@ultimaLugia]

Thing about the karakuri staff, you HAVE to land a hit when you morph your weapon for the gauge to charge. Im trying to get as much practice as i can with it. Ngl, its hard to focus of charging while utilizing my karakuri constructs at the same time

[@theramazing4615]

I guess the bladed wagasa is the closest there is to Lance. I really love the 'stand your ground with guards and counter' playstyle of lance I also really like the hit and run playstyle with massive damage hit of great sword, so the nodachi looks interesting

[@ken5040]

I think it’s more like insect glave

[@MasterDao]

@@ken5040 It's a mix of both really.

[@deadcaptainjames6045]

Unfortunately it's nothing like Lance. It feels like IG mixed with LS

[@tigerfalco]

I have an idea of which weapons I'll be into. The claw blades of course cuz I'm a dual blade main and agile fast playstyle is my forte. But that staff weapon, I gotta say it looks cool but it seems kinda bloated IMO. 5 weapons in one? Too much, they couldve made some of that its own weapon. The spear could've just been a blade that pops out for heavy attack combos instead of its own thing. Then it could transform into Tonfa instead of the dual daggers (not mechanically different but makes more sense design wise). The shuriken couldve 100% been its own weapon, and that would've been a really fun, and unique playstyle because shurikens are under-utilized IMHO. The giant sword, it feels the big hit reward of the charge blade combos so I don't have too much problem with it. Not a big deal or anything, it just makes me feel like I have to play the weapon because its so much in one. I really feel like reducing it a bit as I laid out would've helped the weapon have a stronger base identity as well as add more variety to the rest of the weapon pool but that's just me.

[@garamoth97]

Staff and the bow are the weapons I am Lea img most towards. I look forward to finally getting to play.

[@MJ-co3nt]

[@mikeg5039]

Staff seems like the best weapon tbh

[@goblinslayer2318]

Ngl the monsters look amazing

[@somerandomdude7785]

Karakuri Katana: Long Sword + Dual Blades Nodachi: Great Sword + Long Sword Bow: Typical Bow Maul: Hammer Bladed Wagasa: Lance Hand Cannon: Heavy Bowgun Claw Blade: Dual Blades Karakuri Staff: Switch Axe + Charge Blade What's missing is a weapon that can buff 1 or more Hunters ala the Hunting Horn & the Insect Glaive.

[@Raisera]

I disagree with a few parts of your assessment. Karakuri Katana feels a bit like Longsword without the counters and s, mostly because they share most of your average anime samurai animations. This makes it... half a Longsword, I guess? I kinda don't see much DB there, however. Might be just me. Maul isn't much of a Hammer. In fact, it is closer to the GS. MH's Hammer is either fast, fluid strikes if you play ele Courage or big singular hits (or multiple hits in one animation) if you play Strength/pre MHR. The Nodachi is, in fact, more like Hammer with some GS follow-up stationary charge attacks thrown in. You can charge and move while charging, that's Hammer's thing. Bladed Wagasa has not much to do with Lance. If anything, its playstyle and counters make it a hybrid between IG and LS. The only thing it has in common with Lance is that they both have a counter. As far as I can tell, this version of Bow has more range than MH's midrange incarnation of the weapon, but I didn't try it out during the play test, so... no idea. Might be wrong. Saying that the Karakuri Staff is like SwAx and CB is practically just reducing it to its transformation mechanic. Everything else I agree with. Mostly. Like, obviously the Hand Cannon isn't exactly like HBG, and the Claw Blade isn't exactly like DB, but they are similar enough for me to not criticize the comparison.

[@kiosklim]
