MHX: All style differences for each weapon

After lots of testing, I've written up little guides detailing all differences between each weapon's Hunting Styles, as well as the new mechanics for certain weapons. If I missed anything, please let me know!

Greatsword

Long Sword

Sword & Shield

Dual Blades

Hammer

Hunting Horn

Lance

Gunlance

Switch Axe

Charge Blade

Insect Glaive

Light Bowgun

Heavy Bowgun

Bow

Also, an MHX Reload/Recoil Guide, updated with new Built-in Ammo reload/recoil requirements. Will be updating in the coming days with more specifics numbers!

 

Below is a short explanation of the differences between each style for all weapons:

GUILD
    Can equip 2 Hunter Arts, charge by dealing damage.
    Closest style to how weapons play in previous games.
STRIKER
    Can equip 3 Hunter Arts, charge by dealing and taking damage
AERIAL
    Can equip 1 Hunter Art, charge by dealing damage and jumping off monsters/etc.
    Can do a short forward hop onto monster/bomb/etc. to make you jump high & perform aerial actions
BUSHIDO
    Can equip 1 Hunter Art, charge by dealing damage and with successful Bushido Evades/Guards
    Roll or Guard (L, GL, CB only) right before you are hit by an attack to take no damage and perform special follow-up actions.
    

 

PS: Currently researching reload/recoil levels for the new bowgun ammo. Will add that information in a separate file when complete! (or mostly complete)
