Capcom have released several gameplay trailers for Monster Hunter Rise, showing the Bow, Dual Blades, Long Sword, and Lance weapon types.
Along with showing how the weapons battle against tooth and claw, each weapon also has a Silkbind Attack that grant bonuses depending on the silk used- such as buffs or special attacks.
You can find the weapon style trailers (and their rundowns via their video descriptions below.
“Swift, elegant and precise. The Bow combines high mobility and rapid attacks to rain down a constant stream of arrows onto monsters.
‘Herculean Draw’ is a silkbind attack that surges you forward in a designated direction and uses Ironsilk to empower your attacks.”
“Lithe, agile and relentless. The Dual Blades deliver an onslaught of slices in rapid succession.
‘Piercing Bind’ is a silkbind attack that pierces targets with a detonating kunai. Landing further hits where the kunai is lodged racks up extra damage that scales with each hit.”
“Cool, calm, and collected. The Long Sword relies on consecutive slashes to charge up the Spirit Gauge, then unleash powerful Spirit Blade attacks, calculated dodges and counterattacks.
‘Serene Pose’ is a silkbind attack that channels an incoming strike into a swift counterattack.”
“Stoic, poised and precise. The Lance is a weapon with excellent defensive and evasive capabilities. Guard or step-dodge enemy attacks to stay in the offensive as much as possible.
‘Twin Vine’ is a silkbind attack that tethers you to your target allowing you to swiftly close the gap while guarding!”
Capcom had previously released a trailer for the Great Sword weapon type.
You can find the full rundown (via Nintendo) below.
