Monster Hunter Now Massive Update Weapon Balance Changes!


🎮 Greetings, fellow hunters! Boy, do we have some thrilling news to dive into! Monster Hunter Now has just unleashed its first patch notes, and it's a game-changer! In this blog, we're delving deep into the intricacies of the weapon balance changes set to rock the Monster Hunter world this December. So, sharpen those blades, load your bows, and let's dissect the changes that will redefine our hunting strategies.



🗡️ Close-Range Weapons Embrace the Buffs: Great Sword and Hammer Shine!

As the winds of change sweep across the hunting grounds, close-range weapons like the Great Sword and Hammer emerge as the shining stars of this update. The Great Sword receives improved defensive options, enhancing its tanking capabilities. The guard tackle's knockback prevention window starts sooner, making it easier to weather the storm. Transitioning from charge slash to the next level becomes quicker, and recovery frames post-charge slash are reduced, allowing for swift dodges. But that's not all – a new follow-up after a quick attack from a guard tackle opens up exciting combo possibilities!

The Hammer, too, undergoes a transformation. Locking onto the target while charging allows precise movement towards the targeted area, a boon for hunters seeking precise positioning. Reduced recovery frames after attacks amplify agility, allowing for quicker dodges and a smoother overall experience. Great Sword and Hammer enthusiasts, rejoice – this update is tailored just for you!

🏹 Range Weapons Take a Hit: A Stricter Critical Distance and Damage Reduction

However, not all weapons bask in the glory of buffs. Range weapons find themselves on the receiving end of adjustments to align with their less risky playstyle. Critical distance becomes stricter, demanding more precision from bow users. A significant damage reduction is applied when the distance between hunter and monster increases, hitting Pierce and Spreadshot bows the hardest. But fear not, bow wielders, for rapid shot receives a buff – increased speed for enhanced accuracy. Bow users are also rewarded for daring proximity, with perfect dodges elevating charge levels by two.

Light Bowgun aficionados, brace yourselves. The damage reduction from a distance and decreased damage from non-weak spots are part of the sacrifice for wielding this versatile weapon. However, a perfect dodge brings an ammunition refill and an extra bullet to your clip, providing a silver lining amidst the nerfs.

🛡️ Guarding Evolution: Sword and Shield Adapt, Lance Enters the Scene!

The Sword and Shield, known for its defensive prowess, faces a nerf to overall damage reduction when blocking attacks. But fret not, hunters, for a new feature, the perfect guard, steps in. Timely guards against enemy attacks result in a perfect guard, reducing damage even more and activating the offensive guard skill. Sword and Shield users, prepare for a more nuanced guarding experience.

The Lance, equipped with a more substantial shield, will soon join the Monster Hunter Now arsenal. With a focus on effective guarding, the Lance promises a robust defensive playstyle to counter the increased risk posed by other close-range weapons.

🗨️ Wisdom to Ponder: Embrace the Challenge, Hunter!

"In the dance of blades and the symphony of arrows, every weapon holds its own melody. Adapt, evolve, and let the hunt shape your legend."

📈 Monster Buffs and Formula Tweaks: A More Dynamic Hunt Awaits!

Monsters, too, receive a slight buff, expanding the effective range of their strong roars. Additionally, a tweak in the formula for calculating the rate of increase in damage for skills like heroics and special boost introduces a new layer of complexity to skill stacking. Brace yourselves, hunters, for the dynamics of the hunt are evolving.

🌟 Hunters, Unleash Your Might: Daily Rewards Get a Boost!

As we gear up for the challenges ahead, Monster Hunter Now sweetens the deal with increased daily rewards. Sharp claws, wind drake hides, molite ore, monster bone M, Dragonite ore, and monster bone L all get a boost. While the materials might not be everyone's top pick, more is always welcome in the hunter's arsenal.

🌌 A Symphony of Changes: Hunter's Reflection and Future Hunts!

As we wrap up this extensive journey through the patch notes, it's evident that change is the heartbeat of Monster Hunter Now. Every weapon, every monster, and every hunter will adapt and evolve with each update. How do you feel about these changes? Do you embrace the challenge, or do you find it a daunting new landscape?
