Like any entry in Capcom’s franchise, Monster Hunter Rise can be intimidating for newcomers.
What tips should inexperienced hunters follow?
The Lance is none of those weapons.
The Lance is the most defensively-oriented weapon on the entire roster.
Guarding
Holding ZR/RT will let you guard.
TheGuardskill willreduce the impact of incoming attacks, letting you block them more easily with your shield.
At higher levels, Guard will alsoreduce the stamina damageyou take when attacked.
TheGuard Upskill will allow you toblock normally unblockable attacks.
If you’re not attacked, you’ll perform the Counter Thrust attack as normal once fully charged.
The tradeoff for this is thatyour mobility is pretty abysmal, probably the worst in the entire game.
You’ll be a defensive, slow tank - like a turtle.
This may seem like an obvious tip, butturtling upis aneasy habit to form.
You’ll save time and have an easier time dodging in the meantime.
Alternatively,if you want to play more aggressively, make liberaluse of the Twin Vine Silkbind ability!
