With all that out of the way, let’s dive into the tier list! Starting out at the bottom of the tier list, in: Finally, the S Tier is where the monarchs of Monster Hunter weaponry reside, weapons that are so blisteringly powerful that any hunt with one in the squad goes that much more smoothly. The A Tier is where the big dogs come out to play weapons in the A Tier are a boon to any hunt, able to deliver a smackdown while still providing considerable coverage for the other necessities in a hunt. The B Tier is the middle of the pack: weapons with very standard styles of play, weapons with pros that balance out the cons, or weapons that only become powerhouses in niche situations. The C Tier is home to the few weapons that are lacklustre compared to the others perhaps missing out on damage or manoeuvrability, they might not feel as fun or play as powerfully. In addition, this tier list is made from the context of someone who has spent hundreds of hours farming endgame monsters - this list does take into consideration new players but overall reflects a more late game-focused experience.įinally, the Tiers and their criteria. Now, it goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that Monster Hunter as a franchise has maintained its weapons balance relatively equal, with only a few hiccups along the way - I’m looking at you, MH4U’s Charge Blade - so don’t worry about your favourite weapon not being at the top of the list! Of course, every weapon is perfectly viable for your personal hunting, but some of them might be a little more viable than others.

That’s right, it’s a tier list, and this time we’re ranking all the best weapons in Monster Hunter World and its Ultimate expansion, Iceborne. Gather around, Hunters of the Fifth Fleet!
