Cast a vote for each person's 'best weapon type for X monster'.

Like, I'd vote HM for all rath's.

[Ashqul]

if you really wanted to get a consensus you could list all the monsters and get all participating members to post their most common weapon type against each creature (only one weapon per monster) then you could collate the information and do a list of what was the most common weapon type for each type of monster...

But sometimes there are multiple weapons that work well against a monster.

What If I did I did something like

"Would X weapon work well against these monsters"

And I list all the monsters and ask everyone to vote for a yes or no

Example

Would a hammer work well against these monsters

Yian Kut-Ku-Yes
Gypceros-Yes
Yian Garuga-Yes
Hypnocatrice-No
Basarios-Yes
Gravios-No
Khezu-No
Tigrex-Yes

Lunastra-Yes
Teostra-Yes
Chameleos-No
Kirin-No
Lao Shan Lung-Yes
Yama Tsukami-Yes
Fatalis-No
Crimson Fatalis-No
White Fatalis-No

Once again, im interested in ease of kill not kill times.

So what do you think if I asked this instead for all weapon types?

I already added lavasioth to lance. It's under Piscines.

Diablos is easy to hammer. You're just doing it wrong. Follow this video

yeh i know you did just saying i couldn't do anything else with them, but they destroy everything in Tri.

Also thanks for the vid.

You could but it would take ages having to list all those monsters for all weapon types and hoping that everyone will respond... you could do my idea but have a first choice and a second choice with greater weighting on the first choice when you're calculating the final results...?

[Solyeuse]

There's 11 (10 if you lump L/HBG together) weapon classes. Not too much.

[HiddenStar]

Would a hammer work well against these monsters

Yian Kut-Ku-Yes

Lunastra-Yes
Teostra-Yes
Chameleos-No
Kirin-Yes
Lao Shan Lung-Yes
Yama Tsukami-No
Fatalis-No
Crimson Fatalis-No
White Fatalis-No

These are based an what I've attempted and found easy to do on some of the no's they are
purely based on the fact that I haven't attempted them as I deemed them not suitable for a hammer. Some i have attempted and been destroyed on, possibly down to my bad tactics.

Note: I'm not going to do Hunting Horns, as I have no experience with them

^Hammer rapes Kushala Daora regardless of size, it's only a matter of hitting the head.

I can see where the All Pelagus tag you have next to LS might come from (Both Blangonga and Congalala get annihilated), but I'm not too sure whether it would apply for Rajang. I know it's perfectly plausible to kill a Rajang with LS (heck, if it can be done with DS, it can be done with anything... except HH. XD), but I personally don't dare to mess with Rajang if I'm not lugging a GS or a ranged weapon to the fight.

[HiddenStar]

I can't actually remember if it is too big or to small, but at one of the size, when I try to hit it's head, it is just just out of my reach. Meh, maybe it's just me. I do remember killing it with hammer before though .

[tobyaG]

kushala is a joke when hammers are used

[Molo]

Well I guess there is no point in going on with this list. Different people are obviously good or not so good with certain weapons against certain monsters.

[tobyaG]

i remember seeing this on gamefaqs

[Molo]

That's cause I made both of the topics. Wanted to have more people's say about this. But even there everybody says different things. So I didn't get what I was actually hoping for

If you're referring to the fact that I'm not great against Kusha with a hammer, I'd just like to say that the hammer is my favourite weapon, and I use it against most things. If peoplee want people to make lists of every weapon, I'd be fine with that.

I shall start with Great Sword

I am going to make a double post, just to neating things up.

[HiddenStar]

Would a Great Sword work well against these monsters

Yian Kut-Ku-Yes
Gypceros-Yes
Yian Garuga-Yes
Hypnocatrice-Yes
Basarios-No
Gravios-No
Khezu-Yes
Tigrex-Yes
Nargacuga-Yes
Monoblos-Yes

Akantor-Yes
Ukanlos-Yes
Chepadrome-Yes

Lavasioth-Yes
Daimyo Hermitaur-No
Shogun Ceanataur-No
Shen Gaoren-Yes
Congalala-Yes
Blangonga-No
Copper Blangonga-No
Rajang-Yes
Kushala Daora-No
Lunastra-No
Teostra-No
Chameleos-No
Kirin-No
Lao Shan Lung-Yes
Yama Tsukami-Maybe, depending on if you charge or chain
Fatalis-Yes
Crimson Fatalis-No
White Fatalis-Yes, with a bit of prcatice

Most of these are based on charging, so if you find it easy with chaining, it is a completely different fight

EDIT: Corrected Daimyo Hermitaur mistake

ds works very well against daimyo because u can simply roll his legs and do a quick combo or a DD

Oh, yeah i can imagine that working quite well, I must have grouped Daim and Shogun together, Shogun would just side swipe the whole time. I'll just correct that quickly, thanks for the tip.

Gravios- GL
Khezu- GL
Tigrex- GS/LS (completely equal for me)
