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.
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.

yeah but attributes accelerates the kill IMO.
i didnt rule out raw completely, just at his level…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, raw weapons < elemental weapons until you get to high rank.
EXACTLY!!!
Like hi velocidrome claws. You can make those at HR4 at beat everything HR4 with them. Theyre really easy to make. Also copper blango destructor
I finally killed a Daora… *PHEW*
AND I got the Lao Shan to flee twice… (flee?)
So, I created the Flaming Pair Dual Swords… sickest weapon I’ve seen so far…
Thanks fer’ the tips you guys… Dragon element is great!
Also, I could have made the Dragonslayer LS, but I was feeling that to use a noob weapon, is to be a noob, so I went DS…
By the by, Firecell stones? I found 2 in volcano area, But I was outside of the map… what are they good for?
Firecell stones are for making high rank weapons, and even though LS is a noob weapon doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use it, by which I mean if you’re farming and it’s easier to kill whatever it is with an LS then by all means do it.
Hi. i think that i prefer LBG thn melee weapon but i use gunlance sometimes. i can say i am a veretan in ranged attacks? maybe because in multiplayer i always use LBG as a nice support but normaly i only get hit 4-5 times each time? i say for range users timing, accuracy, mental gauge and position is important?timing as to when to dodge, or aim certain spots when the mob is turning. accuracy….. i not sure but i think it is connected to timing? u need a gauge as to what the mob will do and how far ur bullet or arrow will go? that’s my belief and it helped me to win certain battles. given a ledge and an open area in area 4 of forest and hill, against a los, i prefer open area.. personal reason AND after a painful lesson of staying on ledge and get a 1 hit KO fom los. Gunners armour is weak bt if u customise it to suit ur weapon or style, it will help out. just learn not to get hit too much.
Please reply to me. i like any opinions as to how good or bad my idea of gunner is. personally, i love LBG and welcome any opinion. to be exact, i think most of the quests i used LBG, espicially with tigerex or kushala… long time no play ler, psp stolen T.T
well, your perception of ranged hunting is persuasive. Although, melee fighting gives you the feeling of inflicting damage with your own strength, and poses a challenge of whether or not you can get hit. Blademaster armour gives you greater defence, and being a blademaster allows you to get into the fight rather than support, which in my opinion, no offence, is cowardly. Most quests i use HH or GS and they are high in power, or allow you to hack of a tail. The timing of when to swing your weapon all counts, and that one moment efore an attack changes the tide of the hunt.
What do you think of that?
Hmm,It’s the best to use Hammers and Hunting Horns they’r easily to use and break every part on a monsters body.
Hunting Horn own tough but sometimes you just need a GS well that’s just me makes everything a hell lot easier. =)
Light Bowgun is useless not going to lie, but, Heavy Bowgun on the other hand can do some serious damage, instead of just being support you can be the one doing the most damage. Hammer and Hunting Horn make everything easy, so do sns. Lance and Gunlance are both great for when you can’t dodge very well, or you don’t know the moves of the monster you can learn. Bow and Longsword are both great for quick, easy kills but in my opinion they’re noob weapons. Dual sword and Greatsword are both great for very quick kills, but they aren’t noob weapons because they need skill to master. Timing is important with any weapon but a much more important thing is knowledge. Knowing the moves and how long it takes for each flinch, an approx. amount of health they have, all are extremely useful.
Yeah, no offence^^. true, sometimes i prefer melee combat in some hard to fight bosses. maybe some elder dragon. but in my opinion, support can sometimes be useful as well. well, it is jus our own opinion^^. let’s say, my fren use a GS and we did ‘save’ each other sometimes in battle. like the mob flinched when either one of us are about to die so we can heal. i still prefer ranged weapons but i still learning how to use Heavy bowgun so i can at least be an semi attacker and supporter. what do you think??
Cant complain. Variety is good. Just annoying 2 make gunner and blademaster armour at once, cause you have to kill the monster more times. Melee can save eachother, as can bowgunners, but whatever works for people.
I haven’t had friends to play with for soooo long though so there’s no reason for any of this “support” as you call it. I’m a lone wolf, ’nuff said.
Even without as a support, i think heavy bowgun is a mix of offense and defence traded from speed. and yes, it is annoying to make both gunner and blademaster armour at the same time but i make them from different mob if i kill it with melee or range
so slayer, you’ve gone garuga? good luck on that, while i hunt with my brother. That could work, too, Rangedfreak. Just varietize.
I play solo too..
It’s harder but it’s on your terms and you never get hammer launched.
And as far as HBG goes..
Almost anything can be done faster by a good gunner.
and anything can be done even faster with a good blademaster
and the hammer launch can be done without…
cmon you guys, hbg, lbg, hh and ls are all great but some work better on some monsters for instance someone withot esp or pur sharpness will find a sns or lbg/hbg very good for their first basa or grav
….and you need to add the option for attack down, cause thats what narga armor gives
Hey, i change to melee weapon now to try out instead of ranged, and guess what? when i played with my friend, i managed to get a khezu to fall on the first wyvern fire of gunlance. i am starting to like gunlance^^.
gunlance shits me, as do most shield inc. weapons
well, for me, it help out. of course, my opinion> i love gunlance and all its combo!< well, maybe sometime let play together? i love multiplayer, giv the mob 2-4 or 8 times the trouble.
yeah for sure, but i dont have ps3 for Connection
plus i cant get that other worldwide stuff:( DAMN!
aww, anyway i only play on psp, i wonder if anyone could tell me other means of playing, i love to.
Why is Diablos King Blade not in the weapon calculator?
Because it doesn’t exist? You mean the King Attilart Sword.
Why is it that LS is always considered a noob weapon? Are the only people saying “LS SUX” using hammers?…
im just wondering why their is no LBG and HBG in the weapon calculator?
Because its hard to find something comparable on those bullet types.
oh,ok,I guess there are many variables to the damage LBG/HBG could inflict,..uhm any plans to add something like a weapon calculator or reference on what guns to use on a particular monster?
Yes. Plans. I’ve sketched out the process of doing it.
come on seriously…….. do you honestly think bg are any good solo? ….. Ukanlos solo akantor solo lao shan white black crim fates? how many people can do these hr 9 solo bowgun h or l……..
GS CHARGE sns run n dash hammer t pound n roll
armor always tigrex s (strange) full upgrade plus all raoyal as and heavenlies= muller absolutely everything
well many underestimate the power of HBG and LBG,..killed akantor and ukanlos with HBG,final invitation from elder and G-rank with HBG,..and to those monsters,that is the easiest method for me of killing them,..I dont have problems with gunning solo
no but seriously how… it may b cause im tttteeerrriiibbbllleee with ranged or its i can literally now smash ukanlos in 15 mins solo….. you know u can kill any ice in mins if youve got the sanctioned gunhammer with attack up large adrenaline + 2 and reckless abandon Aka Rajang true golden armor gemmed
sanctioned gun hammer LOL ammeuterish you say, well so do i but it rules..
GS CHARGE sns run n dash hammer t pound n roll
armor always tigrex s (strange) full upgrade plus all raoyal as and heavenlies= muller absolutely everything
well if its the way you hunt go ahead,…its not my fault I love gunning,…well i guess there are not much gunners out there but there are gunners who excel in gunning,..
there ARE many gunners. And HBG outdamage even hammers on many monsters. Anyway, this is not a place for weapon tier discussion.
sorry about that,..im just defending gunners
killing should be done close enogh to kiss
but fresh is right soooooooo
anything put in hr 6 will come with narga weps first then tigrex + stuff
sorry if this is repeated my laptops spasing up
still the diablo king blade rules above all with reckless abandon + 3 or attack up large or art ‘o’ unsheathing with gems= ratha U
but for some absolutely ludicrous reason its not there :0
Jesus. There is no Diablo King Blade. It is called King Attilart Sword.
Yo I’m back, as for the whole gunning vs. melee thing, it’s best to be versatile in all weapon types, except for Gunlance, it can go kill itself. Gunning (HBG not LBG) is the fastest and most dangerous way (IMO) to kill everything, where as melee (Hammer, Ls, SnS, Lance, Ds, Gs, HH) is a safe way to kill everything. The only bad weapons are Light bowgun (too weak and what not) and Gunlance (too hard to master IMO).
And that’s all I have to say, about that.
hey m8. changed my name cause my friend stole casm.
any way like i said though bg’s i think can be best as support but personally i absolutely detest hbg + bows.. lbg i can live with (SANDFALL G RULES!!!!!!!!!!) but i cant solo hbg unless its lao or shen or somthing that dosent attack me personally
This is absolutely and completely of topic but i need to know the populations views. I know but how do you think LAO is pronounce
A.Low B.lay oh C. loww
it does FU****G exist this is england/America and im using it right now killing yama tsukami hang on …………………..
THATS IT WRITHE ON THE FLOOR AND DIE HA HAAAAA.
anyway you can make it
Click on my name for another experts verification
also its basically diablos chaos broker all over again in ultimate GS Charges
Now, dude. Diablos King Blade is the name of the sword in the patched MHP2G version. This calculator uses the MHFU names, where it is called King Attilart Sword. I would urge you to relax and check your pirated game for once.
Along with the skills at the top Attack up, sharpness, reckless abandon, stuff like that, would it make a difference to the amount of damage to have ESP? Because i always use ESP on chameleos and it makes it seem way easier than doing it without?
You’re right, but it’s very difficult to quantify. You can always attack Cham’s back leg without ESP for example.
I noticed something while checking out the LS HR7-9 tree for a khezu and one of the sharpness ratings on a weapon is wrong. Liquid fire blade is listed as green sharpness when I noticed it has a little bit of blue (takes about four wacks off a grav shell to go to green) just thought I’d throw that out there. Unless of course the green is used as an average because it has more sharpness and who is going to sharpen every four hits?
Fresh, I don’t think that Tigrex Hammer+ has 5% affinity with RA+3.Just 0%
Yeah, the affinity is still 5% off on some weapons. That will be fixed soon.
@griz: You’re correct, I’m assuming that little sharpness bars are not actually usable.
oh yeah……. well my games not pirated so my games messed up….
