Whatweapon types would you recommend to start with?
Do you have other MH experience?
Longsword was a lot simpler in Unite so that's a good medium-weight weapon that you can dodge easily with.
Sword n shield is very beginner friendly for its item usage while wield (very important while learning how to paintball consistently or learn the timing windows for healing)
Hammer is great for learning because it has more low-commitment attack options than other slow weapons while you learn your openings
No, my first mh game. A big part of my issue is camera while dealing with fastish monster. Mainly the ice totally not a velicoprey but ice. They spawn in groups and when they jump I can't camera so keeping track is hard.
iirc, Unite had an option that toggled whether moving forward was relative to the camera vs character orientation. If you remap the camera to the right stick, it's way easier to circle-strafe. The left shoulder button is more ideal for sharp turnarounds, like if a mon charges past and is 180° behind you or after dodging
Not the person you asked, and I'm speaking from World experience, but my favorite weapon is the Gunlance. A good mix of defense, slashing, and concussion, so you can break pretty much whatever you want. All around fun, since it felt like I could really push the monsters, rather than feeling like I was constantly on defense.
Sword and Shield was also really fun. Good combos and a decent all-rounder. I also enjoyed Bow.
Try out several on the same monster (one whose moveset you've memorized), and see what feels nicest. I actually played all weapons, because certain monsters were easier to fight with particular weapons.
Lastly, find YouTube videos that explain how to use the weapons and suggest common or useful combos. Good luck!
Is it complex? I'm like super early game
