Weapon Calculator (MHFU)

The Weapon Calculator MHFU Edition

Instructions:
Choose the monster, your materials availability and the weapon line you’re interested in. If you want you can also select various armor skills you intend on wearing.
Press Submit and you will see the weak spot and the preferable weapons based on their damage output against this particular wyvern in descending order (best one first).

Based on DS31′ FAQ

How this works (please read):
This is all about finding an average hit. The code ta kes each weapon’s possible attacks and calculates them in realistic numbers. This means for example with Longswords that it takes some slices, some stabs, some spirit-gauged attacks, meshes them all together and calculates the average hit. In the case of LS 176 different attacks are used.
The percentage shown ranks from 100% (best for your rank) to, well, 1%.
The higher the percentage, the less attacks are needed and the better the weapon is.

Update 08/04/2009: Affinity changed (again). Seems more accurate now.

Monster: HR:
Weapon line:
Armor skills Attack Up None Small Medium Large
(these may affect the outcome) Reckless Abandon None +1 +2 +3
Sharpness +1 No Yes
Elemental Atk Up No Yes
Adrenaline +2 No Yes
Art of Unsheathing No Yes

Some remarks:

  • Art of Unsheathing uses 95% of all hits being unsheath attacks.
  • The damage displayed is only an estimation, you cannot use it for stagger calculation. Its use is to show the margin between weapons.
  • If you select HR4-6 or HR7-9, Powercharm and -talon are automatically added to the equation.
  • Status ailments are being considered. Paralyzed monsters take 10% more damage so that can effect the damage output. Poisoned monsters receive 120 to 350 points of damage per poisoned state, so I figured that in too. Both ailments give now a marginal boost to the damage output.
  • Sharpness is fully figured in.
  • Affinity is fully figured in.
  • Hunting Horn notes are not considered as permanent damage increasing buffs.
  • Gravios and Basarios open stomachs are considered as a potential additional damage spot.
  • Green or below sharpness gets a penalty on HR4 onwards as it tends to bounce on everything and therefore deals less damage.
  • If you find any error or omission, feel free to comment it right away. I probably have some HRs wrong and probably some attack spots too.

    @slayer_of_babies:gunning is indeed a risky business,haha,i love the excitement of gunning when gunning hard hitting monsters like tigrex, there is only little margin of error,it improves my non-armor evade skills,…

    since I started gunning,its hard for me to melee a monster,..haha,..I only used melee in killing lao and yama,..

    THERE IS NO KING DIABLOS SWORD IN MHFU, OKAY
    OR DOES THAT CONFUSE YOU?!

    edit (fresh): Be calm, young one. ;-) CAPS is yelling, y’know?

    • Cuzzy:

      yes you can!!!! but it’s not called that, it’s called a “King Artilliart Sword” but it think they call it that on MHP2G or something :)

  • Final_Episode:

    Just a question, are they gonna make new MHFU/MHP2G weapon paths?

  • Slayer_Of_Babies:

  • although i prefer bowguning again instead haha. love it when u nid to reload and u cant find a good place to load up

  • TowerBooks3192:

    you dont need a place to load up,its just a matter of timing,anyway when all else fails,a farcaster doesnt,..mostly i use auto-reload so i only load once,..the only time i reload is in using pierce/pellet hbg and rapid fire mode lbg,..haha,..i love the thrill of gunning,..its an artful way of hunting,…art is a bang!!

  • Slayer_Of_Babies:

  • Slayer_Of_Babies:

    On what?

  • Alex:

    Can anyone giv me mh2g jpn version uljm05500 cwcheat codes that still working?cause something wrong about my cheat

  • Slayer_Of_Babies:

    Finally got a PS3, on US AdHoc party all the time (Not really, but quite a fair amount) look for me – PSN-SlayerOfBabies, In Game-GoD

  • Vendrex_Ryu:

    sorry fot the confucion, but I’m trying to get the best win straige to the last hunt Ukanlos, and the best wepoin to kill the the yama tsukami.

  • Slayer_Of_Babies:

    Ukanlos, corpse blades/punishment blades, dark akantor with rath soul z vambs and legs. Yama Tsukami, C.Blango Decimator with same armour set.

  • TowerBooks3192:

    @slayer_of_babies:I recently got my ps3,How could I use AdHoc with my ps3?and could I use it in australia??

    • Your PS3 needs to be connected to the internet with the wired LAN. The PSP then connects on the wireless channel with your PSP and the PS3 Adhoc Party functions as a tunnel to other PSPs connected the same way.

      • TowerBooks3192:

        so does that mean instead of connecting our internet to our computer,it is wired directly to our ps3?I get my ps3 connection through the router,..

      • No, I just meant the PS3 has to be connected (to the router whatever) with a cable not via WLAN as the Adhoc Party uses the WLAN connection exclusive for the PSP connection.

        • TowerBooks3192:

          awww,ok,ok,..i guess i could kiss my adhoc dreams goodbye,..the main source of our connection is in mum’s room,and the cable is not long enough and we dont have a telephone line in our living room,…thanks for the info though,…

          • Slayer_Of_Babies:

            Lol put your PS3 right beside the modem and plug it in directly, then barricade yourself with it so nobody can take it away… Also you should make a US account so we can play together ;P

  • Anonymous:

    no king diablos sword in mhfu? im pretty sure there is, isnt it called king artilart sword

  • Vendrex_Ryu:

    @ slayer_of_babies than you for the info and I will use is to my avantege. all thow I have the ice fang ande I have also the akantor armor with the soul rathiols s not z yeat but I been killing it with that set and once more than you for your help.

  • annomus:

    theres supposed to be garuga hammer in the weapon calculator

  • Ampatuan:

    i just wanna ask about the “Art of Unsheathing” because when i choose yes on it.. the “Av.” results is lower than no Art of Unsheathing? because i read that its just like you have affinity of 100% chance of getting 25% more additional dmg from the normal attack.

  • Don’t look at the resulting damage values, seriously. The ranking is all there is to it.

  • Slayer_Of_Babies:

    Hey uh.. DynamicMute you ever come on here anymore?

  • heavy long dual great gunhammerhorns and shield:

    Make this an ipod touch/iphone app! i would pay a dollar and other people probably would too

  • heavy long dual great gunhammerhorns and shield:

    ipod touch app please

  • Roi:

    Hi,there!!

    My name is Roi.
    I am Japanese.
    And I play MonsterHunter 2ndG .
    MonsterHunter 2ndG means MinsterHunterFreedom Unite in japan.

    My hunter rank is G3.
    340 hours player now.
    If anyone want to know about various wepons and amors,contact me!!

    • Predator/macomonsterhunter:

      Would you recommend replacing Lava X armour with Rathalos X?
      Also, what is the easiest way to upgrade Dragonslayer fully?

      • Roi:

        What is your porpose?
        Why do you need replacing Lava X armour with Rathalos X?
        Do you want to hunt Monster?
        Do you want to get materials?

        Please reply your goal why you want !

        • Predator/macomonsterhunter:

          Well, im getting sick of Lava X. Also, i dont know which one would be more effective against the G*** monsters that have to be defeated to unlock Ukanlos.

          • Slayer_Of_Babies:

            Well, I would recommend Rathalos X gemmed to have the skills Atk up Large, Art of Unsheathing and Sharpness +1. But you should have different sets for different monsters. For example, when you need to do something like a gravios, Akantor with the Sword Saint piercing is great. And for something like Silver Rathalos, Akantor plate and waist with Rathalos Z legs and Rathalos Z vambraces and Khezu Z helm is really good.

  • Predator/macomonsterhunter:

    Kool. Thanks Slayer. I asked coz i tend to stick to one armour set till i discover a new 1

  • DynamicMute:

    @Slayer: From time to time, why?

  • DynamicMute:

    Nah..

    I just moved out on my own and I’m kind of living out of my car and always broke.

  • Anonymous:

    Affinity bonus is not factored in. Magnitude should have 15% affinity when it has Sharpness+1 and RA+2.

  • 1bighiccup:

    Umm… I think the reckless abandon skill needs tweaking. i have eternal schisms with RA+2 and it has 0% affinity. On here it has 10%.

  • Cyril:

    Wow I was surprised at the damage! Just making sure I’m reading this right, a rav blade +. Only does like 70 damage to a hr1 daora? Wow… O.o

  • Ahriman1000:

    One of the weapons listed seems incorrect. The Garuga GS, particularly the High Rank version (Sentoryu Wolf) has its Affinity listed incorrectly. The list treats its base affinity as 10%, when its actually 35%. This skews heavily against it when you run a high rank GS weapons list.

  • Sydna:

    Hey, guys can I use Akantor Bow in Monster hunter freedom UNITE and still solo a fatalis? (I don’t have capacity up) Because I heard it got downgraded. BTW the total hp for black fatalis is 20000. How much damage do I have to do to it in order it to repel the fatalis.

    • 1bighiccup:

      I believe its about 5000 damage to repel him. just a guess, but it took me four fights to kill him and 4 x 5000 is 20k. Figures

  • finally back! and still haven gt my psp to play T.T PLEASE HURRY MY BIRTHDAY!
