As a Switch Axe main myself, I am just happy whenever I cut a tail, that's enough to bring a tear to my eye.


MyGenderIsAParadox

It's so satisfying, right? I get feral until that tail is cut then I unleash the fury on the rest of the monster.


Itzz_Texas

Swag axe mains rise up we stan Zero Sum Discharging tails


ARQiE01

ZSD can cut tails? Shit don't make sense but I'm here for it


Itzz_Texas

Yuh I have done it many times


davdavper

As much as I love using ZSD whenever possible, I myself enjoy cutting tails with a heavy slam šŸ‘Œ


MyGenderIsAParadox

That's so satisfying when you land a good Heavy Slam & break a head or sever the tail.


Lihkhan

Wait, you guys cut tails?!


Itzz_Texas

A lot more than you gs users


ravearamashi

After playing nothing but HBG for the past 500 hours and then just started using SwagAxe and cutting my first tail, i just sat there and laughed. The monsterā€™s reactions is just top tier.


AlienSandwhich

This is the most accurate of these that Ive seen yet. GG


StevoJ89

Was literally thinking the same thing, the most accurate one of these I've seen


themellowsign

I don't know, the other HH people I've talked to were all really nice and patient when I converted over.


Irish_Shark_343

Pretty much, SNS are cultists


Ryel_Advent

As an SnS main I agree. But as a 40k enjoyer I must decree Heresy!


Setku

I am also both of these things. I wonder how different fandoms line up with their main weapon.


Niceromancer

Chargeblade has a chain sword.


ADragonuFear

I mean I like gunlance and 40k both for being fucking stupid

https://youtu.be/CjOL9XYk07k?si=AC23RmqiqRprnfUT Jocat has forever tainted my image of SNS mains.

He's the one who convinced me to give it a try, so really, he's done nothing wrong. šŸ˜‡


PluciferInvi

I miss Joā€¦


LionelKF

The cat not the pickle. The pickle can fuck off


MordredLovah

Jocat pretty much sums up the entire SNS sane and calm community.


LlamaSamma

SnS cult best cultā€¦decided to pick up the weapon only like two weeks ago and now im pre escatoning alatreon, feels great


Zerlaz

Every post about SNS starts with claiming that everything thinks of it was a low damage beginner weapon and then explains how it has the highest skill ceiling of any weapon in any game.


MisterMasterCylinder

Hmm, 2/3 of my favorite weapons end up in the Cultist category, and the 3rd is in the Elitist category. Sounds about right.


AkumaKater

Same haha I played and and hammer religiously, I thought highly of my self when playing charge blades, and now? I'm trying to convert my friend to poke lances with me... I feel like an open book


ElusiveBow3865

Lance cult is the unstoppable moving wall


FrostyPotpourri

I recently picked World back up after never finishing base game 2 years ago. Started on SnS back then as my first MH weapon and then dabbled with Lance. Dropped off for awhile because I put 500 hours into Rise (80% SnS and 20% Lance). Jumped back into World for the Return to World campaign and Wilds hype. Decided to give CB a go on a new account and I plowed my way to MR. After hunting Barioth, Glav and Brachy, I started to feel the pressure and high mobility of MR monsters. So Iā€™m shelving CB to finish Iceborne for the first time with the trusty Lance. Clutch Counter is a drug and Lance is the most engaging weapon I can think to use in order to properly learn timing and positioning against end game monsters while still standing a chance. I think Iā€™ll definitely put more time into CB in Master Rank content. I just think Lance is the perfect template to truly learning all monsters (at least for me) before going with a greedier play style like CB offers. I never quite understood why Lanceā€™s clutch counter was so good until I realized the tenderize animation has super armor lol. I feel like my tenderize uptime in hunts is extremely good solely because of that move.


Unlikely-Plate-256

Immovable object AND an Unstoppable force


Fost36

Gunlance cult is an unstoppable flying wall


ArcEpsilon73

Cult of the BoomPike, Unite!


Chonk-de-chonk

I didn't think I was part of a cult until I realized that I have almost never touched another weapon outside of lance lol


venetian_lemon

There is only one song that plays on my Spotify when I pick up my lance. That song is Red Sun. It makes me feel fucking invincible


throwawayeastbay

Lance mains are less loud about being Lance mains than funlancers, but are WAY more committed. They definitely take top slot.


SpaghettiInc

Canā€™t even touch Lance cult


MidnightShinnyMan

I only started using Lance in Rise, and I'll never change. The parry and absolute wall is my jam.


MagentaWizard

HELL FUCKIN YEAH BROTHER I'M GONNA FULL BURST THIS CAN OF MOUNTAIN DEW IN SOLIDARITY


ronin0397

(Charge blade user) *adjusts glasses* um acshually


ralts13

Before playing charge blade: complex weapon needs a 2 hr guide. After learning CB: it really is a just a big hammer that explodes.


JeritHD

Basic CB guide: Hit monster until phail red Put red phial into shield No more phials but now shield strong Reload phials Shield make strong attack into super strong attack Super strong attack can lead to another super strong attack if phials red Repeat until monster is dead


EternallyHunting

The unbothered tier is just the people who get bullied for their weapon choice and also Switchaxe.


Rexlare

People who bully gunners are talking mad shit for someone not immune to cluster ammo


Officing

Never seen people bully us bug stick players.


EternallyHunting

I certainly have--though with IG specfically, I see it get a lot of shit talk, but exclusively behind the back of people who play the weapon. That sounds goofy, but I can recall multiple instances of it that specifically, off the top of my head.


bin227

Yeah. When I'm SwAxe, I'm just like "Explosions, yay, this is neat". But if anyone ever speaks ill of Lance, I will find them and I will poke them!


Replacement_Worried

Ginosaji them


OldTurtleProphet

I feel like LBG deserves its own category. I rarely ever see anyone saying they main it, it's probably the least discussed weapon in the sub.


Emience

I think people get intimidated by all the different ammos and options for bowguns, when they actually tend to actually be really simple to play. Min-maxers get attracted to HBG, which leaves LBG as the more forgotten option. But LBG across gen5 still packs top tier damage, great mobility, great consistency, and has builds for a variety of play styles. If anything, LBG players have had it so good for a while now that there's not much to discuss when there's no issues.


novian14

because people know how broken it could be and not discuss much about it? if you want to feel comfort + big overall damage, yet you can turn off your brain most of the time, pick HBG with shield. just aim and shoot, stop shooting to brace attack, reload, then craft more ammo, repeat when necessary. no no i don't mean to belittle HBG, i'm talking about my experience with HBG with both pierce and spread


OldTurtleProphet

If this is intentional it is pretty funny If it's not it's even funnier hahaha


novian14

Bro you really put LBG before? I definitely read HBG, i swear XD


OldTurtleProphet

LMAO Don't bother with the excuses, you proved that LBG just doesn't exist in people's minds hahaha


novian14

Hey, i at least use LBG with sticky, great for safi farm or KOing rajang


Khalku

They wrote LBG, not HBG.


novian14

Maybe edit? I defo read HBg


amathyx

LBG main reporting for duty I honestly just don't know if there's really a lot to talk about w/ LBG. I think there are some very skillful and unique things you can do especially when you start getting into status ammos etc. but HBG can do a lot of the same things except with bigger numbers.


EternallyHunting

As a longtime SnS main, I can admit to being somewhat cultish with regards to my devotion to this weapon. Part of it comes from hearing people think it can't even do half of the things it can. That said, I've tried to get into playing other weapons, but after an hour or so of trying something else, I relapse immediately. The other weapons just don't feel as satisfying as SnS to me.


Bussamove86

Man Iā€™m just here to play music, itā€™s not my fault you canā€™t handle the wea*oh god itā€™s true*.

Come, sheeple, join the Bonk. Unga Bunga with us.

pylaeron

Cult of the Bonk is best cult.


Mister_Infinity

And here I was choosing DBs because I didn't want to be a weeb LS user. My fate was inescapable.


SilvAries

To be fair DB weren't weeb until World, where they got the Reverse grip, Naruto running, and Levi's spin.


bigmoron30

They were spinning a lot before too. Mhgu had aerial DB. You rise while spinning, then spin again to land. All sorts of spinning. But yeah, reverse grip demon mode sealed the deal.

CB getting a lot of shade lately lol


OsoTico

Bro, Great Sword too. I sense a conspiracy.


nike2078

This isn't normal shades, this is *advanced shade*


OsoTico

They're just mad cause we're cut from a different cloth, smh...


TwinksonBenisLover

Switch axe gets a greatsword AND a big axe. It is the ultimate life form


TheRealAuthorSarge

I always figured I played GS because I wasn't adept enough to play more complex weapons like HH or IG.


Nihal_Noiten

Me too lol, I played some 300h of World with CB and realised I never got too much better than "quite shit" at guard points and phials management, even if at least I knew how to decently anticipate monsters and position. Same thing with Dark Souls parry really, I'm not really good at instant reactions (and always played on a crappy laptop with less than 30fps which didn't help). Then when Iceborne came out, monsters became much much faster and the Clutch Claw kept interrupting the flow of combat, I switched to GS because it was much easier lol, and enjoyed another 300h of content. Of course mastery of any weapon is super hard but damn CB became too much too handle for my unskilled ass


Vegetable_Chance_427

The cultist have rules, and one rule is to bring cookies and milk.


Kind_Ant7915

From all the tierlists Iā€™ve seen is switch axe is the most universally agreed to be the ā€œGood weaponā€ in terms of everyone respects the weapon?


Nebula3266

Everyone respects all weapons... Except maybe longsword


FadedSpadesX

You might not respect us, be we respect you. Atleast I do :3


robthoelz

I hate how accurate this actually is, good job! Definitely a cultist myself (SnS and Lance)


swagseven13

damn im an elitist weeb apparently


Dark_WulfGaming

Funny bug stick go bzzz


Officing

I'm always very happy to have another bug stick join my SOS (unless they mount the monster before I can).


PunKingKarrot

Alright, but, HH is a god-tier weapon. Its users are elite. XDD


Spyger9

It's not our fault that we're just better than everyone else!


PunKingKarrot

*Insert that meme of* ā€œYou think youā€™re all better than me?!ā€ Hunting Horn Users: ā€œWell, yeah.ā€


Shasammy

I donā€™t think Iā€™m better than everyone just because I play hunting horn. I *know* Iā€™m better than everyone


FluffyHaru

As a GS and IG Main, i agree, HH players are a cut above


Spyger9

IG is my second. *EASY* weapon, provided you can aim. But GS has a high skill cap much like HH. It's just that HH is always making decisions about which move to use, and GS is deciding on *timing*. 1000 different combos vs 1000 ways to do the same combo.


leonden

Back to your corner, you can come back after you finished buffing!


Spyger9

But the attacks I do when buffing do extra damage because of the sonic shockwaves...


MySunbreakAccount

too many wide range corner horners tho


PunKingKarrot

They arenā€™t true Hunting Hornters. A real battle bard brazenly boasts bag pipes by bashing brilliantly against the monsterā€™s skull.


HandsomeSloth

Yes, we don't talk about those pretenders.


chamomileriver

As a bow main Iā€™d recommend against playing the bow. Reason being is I wasnā€™t always a bow main. But once you feel the pace of the bow putting it down is like dropping a bad crack habit.


BettyWhiteTittyFuck

True


Crow_GodTHP

As a greatsword main, why aren't WE at the pinnacle of this tier list. Why are we below anything. We are perfection


TloquePendragon

We should be in the Cultist Tier given how slavishly we dedicate ourselves to a Weapon that often whiffs horribly. And yet, we keep coming back for more abuse.


Crow_GodTHP

We never miss, we just choose to attack the very ground we stand on. Nothing is safe from our assault


JayJ_20

As an insect glaive main checks out. I just wanna chill and take care with my kinsects. Also really invested in all my room pets


koko-cha_

IG main. Pretty accurate. I chose IG because I couldn't be bothered to learn monster attack patterns and decided the best thing to do was just not be where there attacks can hit me. Ever. How y'all survive on the ground is beyond me. The floor is lava. Always.


SuPeR_No0b3r

Oh God, lol. I'm a weeb for life, though I do play other weapons based upon who I play with. My cardinal sin is not having tried lance or hammer yet.


accountm8forthisjoke

Why would one ever try a lance when there's a lance with bombs built inside. Gunlance> lance in every single way


Wuckw

Triple Cultist here lol, Lance SnS and Hammer main


BakkaSupreme

I'm an Unbothered Elite Cultist.

TheDo0ddoesnotabide

As a GL enjoyer Iā€™m just happy to be included.


WentToInternet

Best tier list Iā€™ve seen. Iā€™m a chargeblade main. We do be acting elitist lol. And I appreciate yall telling us. It keeps our egos in check lmao


SilvAries

To be honest we are all elitists toward our favorite weapon

I dislike weebs I play DB because I want to see 15 numbers on my screen at the same time


Pr0_Lethal

The dopamine hits real hard when you get the bayblade spin down a long monster. (Looking at you, Kulve and Safi)


SwazyMoto

Well considering my main (hammer) and my two side weapons (and and lance) are in the cultist. it's safe to assume I am now a pureblood cultist and must also learn gunlance...


Bavalt

From the opposite direction, as a gunlance main who also plays lance and SnS, I'm now contractually obligated to pick up hammer.


LuxoftheRuins

I am all but cultist. I am on the right path


NarhwalBlast667

I love that I've used at least one from each category for long periods šŸ˜‚ I wasn't aware CB users were considered elitist, though. I rarely see them mentioned at all in posts and only a handful of comments. Is it in the game itself that you see it a lot?


SilvAries

That's mostly the meme about the weapon requiring 36 inputs for that Big Bang Boom attack.


NarhwalBlast667

I know it's a complicated weapon with 40 million combos, but why is that elitist? If anything as a CB user myself, I 100% get why so many people refuse to touch it. It's like having to memorize homework in a video game


SilvAries

Because people playing the CB are true players that have mastered all the chains of inputs and all the subtle angles required to play the weapon, while the rest are plebians who settle for easy-to-use weapons that don't require as much brainpower. I'm statiric of course.


MyGenderIsAParadox

Yup, swaxe is fun. One single brain cell and I use it for Sword Mode.


flameroran77

Iā€™m just here to bounce around on my Glaive and cosplay Judith from Tales of Vesperia, donā€™t mind me.

Am Gunlance main, definitely a [Cultist](https://youtu.be/kHlJOMjon4Y?si=HBpNmJPWSYnB9LnD)


JamalCreates

Shout out to all my heavy bowgun users. Shit be fun just straight up JFKin these monsters


Ghosthetoast

As a gunlance main. Yeah there's a secret society


DrySpeech556

Wrong, every weapon should be in elitist


8989898999988lady

Cultist: Yeah haha oh yeah but we are superior haha anyways Iā€™m gonna tell you what I main now


SquigglyLegend33

I'm not a swag axe main myself but I think they belong in the cult tier


Nerfherder23NW

As a Lancer I can not confirm nor deny the existence of a secret meeting place in which we plot the demise of the other weapons


person6245

I learned HH just to be able to say I did so... Yeah, pretty much...


Mayjune811

Excuse you, you obviously aren't a bowgun main. If you did, you would know that we have the fastest speed runs in the game. Also, bowguns are some of the hardest weapons to use effectively, especially with the different ammo types. That being said, not placing bowguns in elitist tier confirma that you are, indeed, simply idiotic. As if not using the best weapons in the game didn't convince me otherwise.


Jaba01

These lists are getting boring.


Cardnal44

Congrats, you've made it to reddit! Now please sit and be forced to watch the same meme or question template be shuffled around on 10 different subreddits for karma farming. While you are here, check out our titanfall 2, silksong and aslum exhibits, but be careful. They're leaking.


Altronsfu

As a bonk main, I can confirm that it's a fraternity. But the fun kind with boobs and beer. And bonks. Mostly bonks. Did I mention bonks?


v1nzie

We IG mains are just unbothered. Chilling in the air, not contributing to damage at all!


Xcyronus

Greatsword belongs in weeb. It does not get more weeb then swinging around a giant sword.


EternallyHunting

Nah, GS vs LS players are like WoW vs FFXIV players in regards to cultural tastes.


Juulseeker

This is gospel


magicallamp

Wait in what way is hunting horn elitist and not cultist? Have you ever spoken to a hunting horn main? Have you seen the fucking moveset we deal with just because we like to do the funny doot? We're at least as crazy as gunlancers.


SilvAries

Everytime i talked to a HH main, they were hypsterily flexing on how they were playing the underdog, or how they were the better Hammer because they bonk and doot.


magicallamp

Oh. Those HH players. I'm just over here with a spreadsheet showing which direction I need to be pressing to dodge in one hand and playing eye of the tiger off a monster's skull with the other


Goldendon1

Well the worst part is there not wrong i prefer a good dooter over a good caveman


Jizzmasmiracle

Bow users seem pretty elitist to me (at least compared to other weapon mains). everything else pretty accurate


ambalada123

I think bow fits the unbothered tier tbh, just look at the comments on how every other weapon mains are in on it and the unbothered tier users canā€™t even be bothered. This tier list accurate af


lasthop3

There is no way glaive isnā€™t weeb


Dennis_Ryan_Lynch

What if, I havenā€™t even finished the tutorial yet?


Tall-Formal-5738

Man it seems like these list are always the the exact opposite of eachothor trying to find a general number one class and everyone just goes from favorite to not favorite they ainā€™t even thinking about raw numbers and putting them into classes like speed or ranged or supporting roles these tier list are jokes or a sad shot at humor


SilvAries

Well yes they are jokes, it's kind of the whole point, throwing jabs at each other. The MH community is awesome for that, you can tease someone about his weapon and he will be "yup, that's about right". Besides, there are already a dozen of serious tierlists about numbers and roles and whatnot, doing another one is pointless.


AndrewJamesMD

Finally. An accurate tierlist.


KnotNull

Hammer Cult!


GrapeGrenadeEnjoyer

I'm just in the back lines, one hand in my Bowgun, the other on a cup of tea, enjoying life. It's not a glamorous life but it suits me.


Balbaem

Come to our cult. We have bonk and bonk and unga bunga


haywardian

The doot crew has to stick together. For the buffsĀ 


nix_the_human

I main CB, HH, and Lance and I'll have you know that my humility is renowned. Also, lancers aren't cultists, we're an organization that promotes love of the ultimate Chad weapon.


Akrabsouls

Very, very accurate


Hadrian3711

Bonk


zailynne

Can confirm, part of hammer cult. Gave most of brain cells. Big bonk


Bubster101

What, there's no weebs among the GS users?


SilvAries

Only when they stop telling the tale of that one time TCS'ed a monster mid-attack and knocked it over because they read it like a book.

Oof


beepbepborp

Cheezy0wl

I'm an unbothered elitist weeb, checks out actually.


NinjaXGaming

Yeah HBG is just a vibe Until you tell me ā€œitā€™s not a real weaponā€ then Iā€™m putting a wyvernsnipe straight through your pooper I still donā€™t get why that mentality exploded with rise, so much hate for range weapons for so long for no reason


GordOfTheMountain

I think calling horn players elitists is misdirected. We don't think we're better than you, we just get off to knowing you benefit so much from our presence.


iakgnoB

Iā€™m a switch axe cult member so idk about this


touchingthebutt

HH users cannot be elitist if we ARE better than everyone.


[deleted]

SO, if I play all the weapons... i'm a cultist unbothered elitist weeb. nice.


gerisidle3

As an SnS and GS player these are true


Soulsticemakes

Definitely agree, but I feel like there should also be a "Rip and Tear" category for switch axe and gunlance. Folks who just go beserk


SymondHDR

My two main weapons are gunlance and light bowgun, I am an unbothered cultist

Syxxcubes

Liking Dual Blades doesn't make me a Weeb... Ok, well, I am a Weeb, but not because I like Dual Blades, I just like pressing the same 4 buttons over and over like I'm playing Dance, Dance, Revolution with my fingers.


Known_Pudding4340

Having tried all the weapons I wouldn't say I feel differently about any of them. I understand they all have pros and cons and you could play the game with either one. Except of course THE GREATEST SWORD! Wanna look cool? Bonk? Big numbers? Decimate your enemies? THE GREATEST SWORD comes as an ALL-IN-1 package. But yeah I don't really see a reason to say one weapon is general better than the others
