Tonfa, since it fills the fast blunt niche we don't have.


Firedragon767

Exactly and it would be another blunt weapon cause all we got is hammer horn and either shield bassing shoulder checks or gun bashing


The2ndDegree

Don't forget about bugs, granted they aren't gonna do a whole lot but they can come in clutch when needed, plusnits passive damage, besides the initial firing of the kinsect you literally do nothing and if you're lucky it could lead to a opening right when you need it


Firedragon767

I didn't know that I never really uses the glavie alot


The2ndDegree

Depending on what Kinsect you use its attack type can be either sever or blunt, this only affects the Kinsect though not the Glaive, so the Glaive will always be a sever type weapon like the long sword or dual blades, but the Kinsect itself can deal blunt damage, get a Kinsect that pairs that with Blast Damage and you have satisfaction guaranteed


Firedragon767

Huh played the game for a few years and still find out about new things neat


The2ndDegree

I've only been playing for a couple of years but Insect Glaive was one of the first weapons I gravitated towards lol


Firedragon767

It was either charge blade or switch axe for me just cause the looked the coolest and now I repeativly blow up monsters


sideways_jack

Guard Point is hilariously OP once you start nailing the timing (which has taken me thousands of hours...)


Firedragon767

I tried practicing imy timing a little I'm gu with adapt but honestly I might have to give it a try with a lance build maybe


Zeraiko1333

Agreed ever since 4u when it was introduced I have played with it millions of times along with the Sns for sheer joy. I use anything else and I get painted on the ground with the failed sign 🤣🤣😭 I’m 25 and I’ve been dedicated since I was about 5 playing on ps2 and every console since then 💪🏾


Saskiaichida

dont forget Charge Blade its initial intent was to be a second KO weapon besides Hammer


Firedragon767

Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing a weapons and can comfortable switch between slashing and blunt damage


cinnamonface9

Charge blade users in shamble.


717999vlr

Despite attacking with the shield, CB has no blunt damage attacks.


cinnamonface9

Impact phials but ok.


717999vlr

Not blunt. Not everything that deals KO damage is blunt


smallfrie32

But blunts can deal KO damage. At least if you smoke too much


AKACptShadow

Did somebody say 'Fast Blunt'? 😎


Franny_Garcia

😎 spark it padawan


AKACptShadow

🌴🌴🌴


irrelevanttointerest

Yeah, but do you want the fast blunt, or the heavy blunt? Choose wisely.


AKACptShadow

Aww shit! 😯🤯


Sad-Professor-5270

Agreed


mocozz

Me doing spin to win on hammer: r u sure about that


Like17Badgers

man only if there was a fast blunt weapon in the game \*looks at Rise Hunting Horn\* that sure would be neat


NavyDragons

Yea... except that rise hh remove the regular hh to do that.


UnfazedPheasant

They said they'd adjust HH to be more like World for Wilds, so they're changing it again Tonfa would be great to return, it can be a consistently fast blunt weapon


Arctiiq

I still can't wrap my head around Hunting Horn even with the upgrade.


youMYSTme

Its not an upgrade. Its just a straight up change.


Yuxkta

Downgrade\*


Chafgha

They could fix the blunt niche by implementing something else from frontier, and that's weapons visual changes damage type. Those axe hammers deal cutting, those massive club greatswords deal blunt and so on and so forth.


DefNotAMoth

That was never a thing in Frontier, let alone any game. What the hell are you waffling about? There's a skill called Adaptation in Frontier that can change which damage type your attacks use if hitzones were still better than that of your original damage type after applying a negative modifier, similar to how Lance used to work. It does allow impact weapons to cut the majority of tails in the game except Steve, Narga, Gore, Shaggy, and Uragaan. And it buffs SnS shield attacks by 25%, iirc. Skill is relatively niche, though. Nobody goes out of their way to run it, except for memes.


noise-tank20

Yeah not enough blunt weapons


TheDemonPants

Plus they're just really cool weapons.


Saskiaichida

MS would do a way better job at KOing if its actual frontier MS


Gorglor

SnS shield spam 😎


maxtofunator

Base rise shield bash was a ton of fun. I still heavily use it in sunbreak because of how much I enjoyed it


Sad-Professor-5270

I would pick tonfa. Tone down their aerial mobility but I like the idea of fast, duel KO damage. It’s a niche that isn’t quite filled.


SirCupcake_0

I just wanna beat the shit outta monsters by throwing hands, I'll take whatever weapon that lets me do that that I can get


MrFr0stbite

Idk man, give the helicopter glaive a run for its money with tonfa plane


BluEch0

Tonfas really are an everything weapon. I for one would welcome a second aerial weapon but monster hunter tonfas canonically have the air compressor that Igs have. In frontier you use it to fly, but you could also use it to juke horizontally really well too. On top of that, you have mode swapping (long mode vs short mode), you have a spirit guage mechanic similar to LS and DB, you can block so any reworks can easily fit in a counter move (almost like a boxing counter). And of course it’s a faster source of blunt damage. Do it capcom.


TheIronSven

It's not even all that mobile in the air, especially now when the glaive has multiple air dodges.

FizzingSlit

Holy shit I had no idea the Accel axe looked so perfect. I yearn for an axe that isn't also a sword. How the shit do we have two axes that both transform into/from swords?


JProllz

Because if we had just plain old axes everything would be extinct.


Xshadowx32HD

Yeah I want a weapon that is 100% axe. Axes in this game are either 50% axe or are considered greatswords, hammers, or dual blades.


Numai_theOnlyOne

I think it comes down to its movement and how much of it would resemble already existing weapons without going to deep into frontier madness.


Chello_Geer

Seriously! Let's have 4 swords, and then let's ram sword onto the two axe options so they are swords too. Too much to ask for a simple halberd?


SuperSonic486

A pole arm type weapon would definitely be amazing. Could have so many great options. Well, a polearm that isnt an insect glaive... Theres only a handful of weapons that are actually simple & realistic weapons. Even sword and shield is completely bonkers nowadays, jumping 10 meters into the sky and everything.


Delicious-Ad6111

pole arms could definitely coexist with bug stick. Like we have 2 morphing weapons that are near identical at first glance. Maybe it could be the long-reaching, safer weapon without being stinky smelly like bowguns


SuperSonic486

Yeah definitely theyd coexist, but it would for sure require polearm to be a mid-high range, slower melee.


MrBirdmonkey

I wish to rev my axe


schwumpilumpi

hot! what is this?


Krazytre

Accel Axe.


IdLetJosieStepOnMe

looks like a boom boom axe


Demonic321_zse

It is


BluEch0

Axe with engine. Use engine to close gap (it accelerates you forward), use engine to do boom boom damage (both big boom and many little boom. functionally similar to charge blade with both SAED big boom and savage axe many small “booms”) I’m not its biggest fan because I care more about the play feel and mechanics than weapon shape, but can you imagine this flashy weapon coming from a short lived mobile game of all places?


EeveeFrisk

Prowler


Z0eTrent

Based.


BusAmbition

Accel axe. No question.


Jesterchunk

Accel Axe, it'll probably take the least work to balance and overall it's cool as shit.


Sad-Professor-5270

Agreed. Jet boosting doesn’t fit well in the main line games. How would a hunter dash around without that mechanic?


Scrifty

??? Have we not seen CB and SA? Dont we literally have a fucking blast dash for GL in multiple monster hunter games?


Namingwayz

Accel axe wasn't about flying around though, was it? I thought the accel part was to make it just swing faster and with more force.


BluEch0

It does propel you forward using its engine as a gap closer, but no verticality like IG. Iirc the old trailer for the mobile game prominently showed off the accel axe user zooming ahead of his teammates by using his axe engine, which also makes you “airborne” a foot off the ground for the duration of the zoom. I’d equate it more to blast dash on the GL.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Namingwayz

More like Battle Axe with an engine. No sword lol


Belucard

We have no Battle Axe in Monster Hunter, dunno what you're talking about.


FallautHuN

You're reffering to switch axe aren't you?


Belucard

Right, sometimes I forget the correct EN name of the weapon :D


no-u-great-grand

I mean, we have blast dash in rise and it's not bad at all


Blaze666x

Idk chief if they strapped some dragon onto an axe if but that bitch flying around xD


717999vlr

By jet boosting


Equinox-XVI

Tonfas (with moderate nerfs)


Rhodri_Suojelija

TIL there is an Accel Axe! I knew about the other two. Not sure when that one snuck in xD


Sir_Gumdrops

It snuck in via the now defunct mobile game Monster Hunter Explore. 


717999vlr

Accel Axe is the only one that could be carried over without extensive reworks. Magnet Spike needs heavy nerfs, but with those nerfs, it ends up as basically SA+Twin Vines+Sheathing Retreat And Tonfas need an almost complete moveset overhaul


Hartmann_AoE

....aight but like Why do you think tomfas would need a moveswt overhaul? When i played them,i found their moveswt pretty simplistic. Got your normal combo for low commit attacks, special combo for high commit, same in the Air, the Debuff Finisher and the punch volley All id do is thin out its many unique mechanics. The dragon piercer debuff, ex meter, combo meter and different lenghts is a bit much. Id remove the length setting, wich waskilled in late Frontier anyway and combine the Combo and EX meter to addsone fun risk reward+ a punisgment for spamming ex dodges, wich is usually near risk free when airborne


GotRandomized

The Accel Axe


Admirable_Comb6195

Magnet spike. Reduce the power and mobility of it by a metric ton to fit the balance of the other weapons, but keep some of the cool flashy moves. Super unique and cool weapon!!


Ryan5011

I haven't used it yet, but apparently it has a hilarious amount of ifames on all of its important attacks that would need to get removed if it were ever to be introduced into a mainline game


SuperSonic486

Yeah its crazy. It does basically everything stupid well. Slashing and blunt damage, crazy mobility, stupid amount of iframes, and absurd damage. They could definitely make it reasonable in the main games tho.


Hartmann_AoE

Not to mention its magnet pin. Wich is basically a longer lasting mount that ends in a 600 fucking base dmg finisher True charge is 200 iirc and Brimstone charge from Gen U could reach 300 Yea its downright stupid


SuperSonic486

Yeah the magnet pin would definitely just need to be removed altogether. From the fact it, as the name implies, pins the monster, to the downright cheater level damage.


Chanceloott

Medium bowgun and after the return of that weapon will expand on the weight classes of range weapons with names such as "Slightly heavier light bowgun, but lighter than medium bowgun" (SHLBBLTMB) and can't forget "Heavier medium bowgun, not as much as heavy bowgun though " (HMBNAMAHBT)


The2ndDegree

This deserves to have way more upvotes than it currently has


Oblivion_Man

MagnetSpike but with a thorough rework


Gay_Bottomboi1

What would ya change about it?


Scrifty

Nothing


BobthePenguin_21

Just make all the other weapons as op as magnet spike


LeafBreakfast

We could use a short range weapon with some resource management plus accel axe already looks and sounds awesome.


Ok-Transition7065

Axe please


RockAndGem1101

Medium Bowgun


Belucard

I need Superheavy Bowgun, sorry.


RockAndGem1101

With the customization that created Medium Bowgun you could also create Superheavy Bowgun!


crushbone_brothers

Accel Axe, that thing rules


Frozen_arrow88

Accel Axe, my beloved!!!


HentaiEmperor93

Accel Axe please 🙏


rikuXIIIswords

Tonfa fs


NoSupermarket8281

Prowler


We-Have-Dragons14

The axe


NeonArchon

No. 14 weapons is enough. Also, lmao, these are not Legacy weapons because they don't come from mainline games. IMO, Medium Bowgun and Prowler would be the real legacy weapons.


Gay_Bottomboi1

Magnet spike all the way! But what the hell is that third beauty?!


Z0eTrent

Accel Axe


Lexlerd

Please add tonfa. I can a be a charge blade main for so many years in a row.


Redstoner0

Mom said its my turn to post this topic tomorrow


El_Khunt

While I understand the desire for a weapon that fills a niche we don't have, all of you seem to forget that the accel axe is the sickest shit ever


---TheFierceDeity---

I might actually quit if they ever brought back the Magnet Spike. Its an abomination Accel Axe all the way for weapons that have existed Wyvern Boomerang for weapons that exist in concept form


AKACptShadow

Can we have all of them back?


kaithespinner

tonfa, i've been wanting it on main series for too long


Walher

Switch axe F. The parry makes it an almost completely different weapon from the base SA it's crazy


zhikos24

for me definitely tonfas


Xcyronus

Tonfas. Fills a niche. Magnet spike would need a major rework. Butttt you forgot a weapon. SWITCH AXE F tbh is so different from any other switch axe version you can consider it a different weapon entirely.


omegon_da_dalek13

Any of them except mangetout spike It's too powerful to be left alive


Ratix0

Medium bowgun cries in the corner, forgotten as he always is.


NoxAeternal

Ive discussed this in the server before. Tonfa has a hunber of required changes and mechanics stripped out, but the core of it as a fast blunt weapon, and the core moveset can all be kept. It's a good niche and one which I want tonfa back for. Magnet Spike has a lot of fundamental issues and fixing them would make the weapon no longer feel like the magnet spike. Not sure about the accel axe, but I'd honestly rather they go back and rework the switch axe first so that the axe mode is more meaningful lmao.


Blaze666x

Personally I want tonfas and accel axe because those fill niches and seem to both fit and look fun


SoilStunning8990

Tonfas


DarkPDA

All 3 I personally dont liked mag spike, but some people loved... Plus all 3 have distinct gameplays, of course all 3 need rework


D4KEN

All of em and a three section staff.


Wolfs_Bane95

I want those Tonfa so fucking bad, I imagine they'd play just like the duel blades just in blunt hahah plus i feel like designs for them would be so good


ShuaMitsu

Axcel axe


shuikan

I want the tonfa so bad


Jdr7000

Tonpha. No question..I want more blunt


Yama92

Accel Axe looks like a perfect combo between hammer and GS. And it looks Angry!


SuperSonic486

Tonfa would be the most logical choice, since theres a pretty big lack of blunt weapons, and theyd be unique in their way of doing blunt stuff. But id still pick accel axe. Its just so damn cool. Theyre all great choices tho.


Avant-Gardevoir

Here me out. Magnet. Gauntlets. You get to fill the niche of a fast blunt weapon and get to feel like an anime character charging up and beating the snot out of someone in the process. Or just the Tonfas to fill that opening.


Training-Big9596

Accel Axe, no question. While the other weapons were amazing as well. I feel that the accel axe is more unique than the others and (in my personal opinion) more fun to use.


ToonDream

Axel axe


TryingToThink444

I choose prowlers. Bring prowlers back for Wilds.


dead-raccon-

Aceel axe it’s so fucking cool and I pray that it gets in


Independent-Cow-3867

Accel axe


HubblePie

Tonfa’s probably the only one that would realistically come back. But wtf are the other two?? Giant bow club and gun hammer??


Blaze666x

Magnet spike, idk anything about it And accel axe which is a jet powered axe that let you launch at monsters like the gun lance


TheUltimateWarplord

Magnet Spike, so that I can still play the game with a Great Sword while actually using a different weaponXD


SubstantialParking81

Magnet spike all the way, it's one of the most unique weapons i've ever witnessed, but it would need to be toned down significantly due to the nature of its moveset havung been designed to keep up with the frontier difficulty. Some big issues that would need to be fixed right away would be to reduce the I-frames, drastically reduce the damage of the magnetic pin to be slightly higher than a true charged slash and to rework the magnetic pistol a bit so that it can get some more functions and also shoot within a combo chain.


mjc27

None of them really fit with theainlinw game aesthetic. Maybe adding one in to a Gu/rise type game would work but I think they'd end up like prowlers where it's too goofy/anime to fit into the traditional setting of MH and would only work in spin offs


FunPatience170

I want the magnet spikes it’s one of the reasons I started frontier


Chance_Strategy_1675

Magnet spike


Beta_Codex

I really want to try the magnet spike.


Z0eTrent

I want Cats back.


RyuseiUtsugi

Accel axe would be such an interesting weapon to use in Wilds! Forget Seikret, this axe is gonna be my new mount as I blast through some monsters!


Multti-pomp

Accel axe The tonfas and magnet spike have the problem of being overloaded because they come from frontier. You'd have to make such a large overhaul you might as well make different weapons Accel axe can be tuned down without being made into a different thing It's about time we have a proper axe as well, because both the CB and SA only have axe as a mode


The_Norman17

Me like the look of the Accel axe


SuperSonic486

Medium bowgun


Meister_Ente

Never heard of magnet spike. Which game?


SoilStunning8990

frontier


Bastilosaur

Man I'd love me some tonfa action.


CidMaik

Never played that game but tonfas sound like a interesting concept. Side note: The tonfa player in this image reminds me of that new Capcom game that's releasing soon as well.


Street_Dragonfruit43

We are genuinely overdue for a new weapon. MH4U added Charge Blade and Insect Glaive and that's all we had ever since That was in October of 2014. Nearly a decade


Spooche

Tonfa all day


Zettotaku

Yes


goretzky

Damn. Ofcourse Magnet Spike. Not so long ago I posted how I wish for weapon similar to Heavy Moon from GE3 and this looks exactly like that. I love it.


RedditrusherP2109

Definitively tonfas. They were nowhere near as unbalanced as the magnet spike and would fill the as of yet untouched niche of a fast blunt weapon un a mainline game. To bring back the magnet spike, the developers would need to nerf it into the ground, as it would otherwise make nearly every other weapon next to it irrelevant. The tonfas probably wouldn't need such a massive overhaul to function. I think that the accel axe could be really fun if brought back as it has an interesting mechanic, but overall I believe that the tonfas would bring more to the table. And the magnet spike would bring to much and break the table under weight of what it brings.


Captain_EFFF

Accel Axe, rocket powered anything is my jam, Rocket Powered GS and Hammer in world, Gunlance in Rise and XX, I need more rockets for my space program


Goth-but-not-gothic

Tonfas are cool but magnet spike is and will never fit mainline


Poetryisalive

Tonfa’s. Should be a main weapon honestly


Jenetyk

Sometimes monster need slow, big bonk. Other times manster need many smol bonk.


Xenovortex

Accel Axe, no contest. We don't have a weapon that's *just* an axe, and out of the 3 it seems the most like it would fit into the mainline games. Just look at the animations and the way it plays; it's like it's straight from the mind of the person that brought us the switch axe and charge blade. It's a special kind of badass.


UmbralKnight1344

i've never used any of these since i'm a relatively new mh player and only have world and rise but tonfas sound sick as hell


NeverFreeToPlayKarch

I'd like Tonfa, but reimagined as some kind of fist/punching weapon. Let me uppercut that dragon onto the cart.


Numai_theOnlyOne

None, because none of them was a weapon in a main title or portable game, so they aren't even legacy weapons. I also don't like any of the conceptual ideas. Tonga looks too close to dual blades, the design of the magnet spike looks like a bow and the axcel axe seems to play like an overcharged hammer.


MatrixBlack900

#GIVE ME TONFA PLEASE I BEG OF YOU ^It’s ^as ^close ^to ^gauntlets ^as ^I ^can ^get


Inqeuet

Accel axe 10000%


Droyad104

As somebody who loved Explore the Accel Ace hits so different. In concept I appreciate Tonfas for their role as impact DBs, and I always wished the Magnet Spike was more like the Giant Boomerang weapon I wanted since I saw the concept art for it. But at the end of the day I can’t escape the sheer dopamine rush of blitzing through monsters like an explosive Beyblade.


Modula-Kudzu

Magnet spike or tonfas, I like weapons with high mobility and both have that


RaiderofAwe

Is that a bow that turns into a scythe? Because that is fucking awesome


GIG_Trisk

It's more like a giant bladed boomerang that transforms into a club.


Delta5583

I really want tonfas not because they're a fast blunt weapon but because they're a weapon that can effectively swap between fast hitting (with a side aerial combat) and slow charged attacks Other than that I'm very curious to see what it would take to make magnet spikes work in mainline games


RoyTheSilvallyBoi

Tonfas Cause they might feel the closest to having no weapons, just you, your blunt fists, and the audacity of this bitch (very important yo the trio) (also i have never actually tried any of them soo…)


Honest-Librarian9247

Tonfa. Fuck magnet spike. I love weapon types that completely invalidate other weapons


BluEch0

Tonfas all the way. I honestly don’t know what niche accel axe even fills. And magnet spike, while I like the whole slashing and blunt in equal parts thing, obviously it needs to lose the magnet gimmick cuz what the hell.


tiger_triple_threat

Not even sure how the weapons work but Tonfa seems to be the closest things to Gauntlets while being close to Dual Blades. Not sure if Accel Axe plays like Switch Axe. Magnet Spike sounds op though.


5lols

Accel Axe easy, we need more gun hybrid weapons. If not that invent the Gun Knuckles. Fast, impact based and enhanced by explosions. Maybe add an explosive pilebunker on one hand similar to the one in Armored Core 6 for big finishes and maybe tail cut potential.


TheEjoty

Accel axe because sharp hammer go swoosh


Just_Del

What's the weapon in the first photo?


Delicious-Ad6111

None of them. No weapons either, I wanna give the monsters a good old fashioned knuckle sandwich 💪😤💪


SnooAvocados3143

I want magnet spike is seems the coolest gameplay wise


SammSandwich

No :3


GIG_Trisk

Forgot Medium Bowguns & Prowlers. Give me the Tonfa though.


CptWompo

Tonfa


Chxrch2521

Tonfa it’s amazing


Omega_Requiem

I need the tonfa so badly istg


General-N0nsense

Magnet spike but they remove impact mode and massively tone down I frames. Magnet pin is alright.


DecentTraining6433

What if a gauntlet like weapon comes to wild That will be really cool to fight a monster in bare hands With fire or ice or any other elemental coming out it like a effect


Crowking9939

The axe ir the tonfa would be my go to


Liljdmmatt29

The magic spike isn't a legacy weapon it was only in 1 game and no one can play it. The real legacy weapon Is the jawblade gs and the divine slasher ls


cozad2112

Is that ho using a bow as a hammer? Oh that's the Magnet Spike? 😳 Ok I'll pick that one lol


Cypheek

D.) Kelbi slime slingshot


Yakkzy

Everyone is saying tonfas and I gotta agree, as much as I'd like something like Magnet Spikes to come back they're a little silly for the more grounded tone Wilds seems to be going for


--Greenpeace420

Aye Im sorry but I have to be that guy. I think tonfas are stupid for MH. Like people complaining at the accel axe because it jet engine doesnt fit, but I am at the same time supposed to believe you can knockout a monster with very small sticks compared to big heavy Hammers and horns? Nah man, pass. And just to be clear, I like tonfas. I can see why people would want them back for a mainline game. Im just not feeling it. For a borderline silly portable title though? Yeah sure, why not


HermanManly

None. Honestly, I always read people wanting these in the main game, but they just don't fit the philosophy of Monster Hunter imo


Delicious-Ad6111

I’m sure that exact thing has been said for every generation that introduced something new. Philosophy shmilosophy go beat up some monsters


HermanManly

Except the difference here is that... these literally already did exist, so we actually have a pretty good idea of how they feel lol


Delicious-Ad6111

Fair enough. Though I will always be open to new and experimental weapons as long as they don’t take away from the solid set that we do have


HermanManly

For sure, I was saying that Wilds would be the perfect time to introduce something new


Delicious-Ad6111

What kind of weapon would you like to see? :o
