Man the arena quests always give you such terrible weapons. It's like they're giving you a tree branch and saying, “Here, go poke it til dies or believe in your hunter's spirit or something”

  • Make like Naruto and be empowered by your bonds and friendships. Well, the Switch Axes are terrible for me - it's one of the few that I just can't use properly. :)

  • They test your actual skill and knowledge of monsters. The weapons are more like a handicap for the monsters. Seeing as they are effective but not overpowered.

  • That's true but there are a couple of weapons which will make you doubt the arena manager wants you to kill the monster at all

  • arena's always been about skills rather than stats, example one alone is in the timing leaderboards

  • As somebody who's played monster Hunter since the ps2 I know about skill and all but sometimes even with a good weapon and armor it will still take skill to beat it. Have you played any other of these

  • It might look that way, but the thing is, you can do them with friends! I think some weapon options are really designated for support roles, but if they're there, they must be viable for solo play.

  • yeah but you cant do whacky things in the arena like flash bomb a monster, trap them, attack, wash rinse repeat until no more traps unless a groups got the items for it... no cheap tricks fer us!

  • Armor skill or "playing skill", either way, what you're saying is true - some choices are bastards. I remember the Kirin quest in MHFU - LSing him was horrible, but I managed after many failures. :D

  • Oh well I can't argue with that. btw have you tried those quests when they give you weapons with YELLOW sharpness and they tell you to kill a khezu or tigrex
