Dealing the highest level of damage certainly depends on the skills of the player, and with time, you will be able to gain the level of proficiency that is required to use any weapon and excel with it.
We have categorized every weapon that you will wield in Sunbreak in terms of the amount of damage that they are capable of dealing.
With all that said, let’s dive into the list of all the weapons available in Sunbreak.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Weapon Tier List
For defining the weapons tier list in terms of its accuracy and other aspects, we have allotted an initial to each category of weapon, such as:
S: These weapons can easily deal with powerful and stable hits.
- It might be difficult to wield these weapons initially, but it definitely gets easier with practice.
A: These are easy to handle, and they deliver powerful hits as well.
- These weapons are not dependent on any sort of monster or quest for success.
B: These types of weapons make it difficult for beginners to deal with powerful hits.
- These usually don’t lose to other weapons since they have a high capability of dealing damage.
Here’s the list of the potential weapons that are available in Sunbreak:
1. Light Bowgun
Light Bowgun definitely comes in the S tier. The light bowgun can easily escape attacks using the Wyvern Counter.
If you are using Light Bowgun, you will be able to deal a lot of damage even when you are fighting from afar.
There are newer shooting methods that have been introduced in Sunbreak for the light bowgun, which you will discover later on as you use the weapon.
2. Bow
The bow is also an S-tier weapon that enhances firepower while dealing with the weak points in the game.
With time you will be able to master the Stake Thrust, which is a very powerful hit.
Also, while using the bow, you must keep in mind that you have to maintain a strong balance between being defensive and offensive.
3. Heavy Bowgun
Heavy Bowgun is yet another S-tier weapon that is excellent for dealing damage to the monster from a safer distance.
While you are using Heavy Bowgun, keep in mind that the Wirebug techniques can provide you with optimal protection, but since Heavy Bowgun is relatively heavier to wield, it lacks the general ability to hit on mark.
As long as you are wearing a shield, it will be easier to use the Crouching shot, which is extremely powerful.
4. Switch Axe
Switch Axe is also an S-tier weapon that allows the player to use the Elemental Burst Counter, which doubles as both a defensive and offensive skill.
It also increases your rate of survival along with maintaining a high level of damage. While Switch Axe is in its amped state, it will definitely deal a lot of damage.
Along with that, it is easier to use this one in the transformation combos.
5. Great Sword
Here we have an A-tier weapon that uses the Strongarm Style attack for countering in the most efficient manner.
One thing that you should know about Great Sword is that by only repeating the slashes, you will be able to fight long enough.
Another exciting feature of Great Sword is that you can use the “Surge Slash Combo,” which will deal a lot of damage without hampering your power.
6. Long Sword
We have another A-tier weapon on our list, which has a plethora of counterattacks. The New Harvest Moon technique of Long Sword will increase the capacity of your counterattacks.
Using the Sakura Slash of the long sword, you will be able to take your Spirit Gauge to III almost all the time.
7. Dual Blades
The dual blade is also an A-tier weapon that provides the yielder with effective evasion techniques such as Shrouded Vault and Spinning Blade Dance Finisher.
It is suggested to use dual blades in the Demon mode to deal maximum damage.
The popular Spiral Slash technique of the dual blades is known to close the distance between the player and their opponent faster than no other.
8. Charge Blade
Charge Blade is yet another A-tier weapon that is certainly difficult to wield, but it deals proper damage to its opponent.
The Elemental Discharge technique of Charge Blade is well known for creating a massive impact, and not that the weapons have been updated, some of its features are now way easier to use.
9. Insect Glaive
We have another A-tier weapon at our hands which uses the Powder Vortex technique making it easier to deal extreme damage.
A unique feature of the insect glaive, as its name suggests, is deploying insects and essences to attack the opponent.
You can definitely make use of the Boosted Powder Extract as a combo with the Powder Vortex.
10. Sword And Shield
The sword and shield is also an A-tier weapon that facilitates the use of a twin-blade combo which can prove to be lethal.
The Shield attack the sword, and the shield have the capacity to deal maximum damage and stagger the monsters.
Sword and shield have a good balance of both defense and offense.
11. Hammer
The hammer is yet another A-tier weapon that has the ability to stun the monsters by dealing attacks to their head.
The Impact Burst and the Spinning Bludgeon techniques have been now enhanced in the Sunbreak.
There have been no immediate changes made to the techniques, so to say, but they are definitely stronger than ever.
12. Hunting Horn
Now we have a B-tier weapon on our list, which is certainly a must-have for the multiplayer mode. Hunting Horn makes it easier to attack continuously without sharpening it.
Also, the Infernal Melody and Magnificent Trio are two of the most eminent techniques of Hunting Horn.
13. Gunlance
We have yet another B-tier weapon in our hands which can be used to attack continuously even if you are just swinging the blade.
Potentially one of the most useful features of Gunlance is that it facilitates multiple skills, which ultimately prevent you from blasting away.
14. Lance
Lastly, on our list, we have another B-tier weapon that has probably the highest defensive abilities.
Lance uses the guard to counterattack the monsters, and the Spiral Thrust technique of the weapon is now more powerful and impactful than ever.
