Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Bow guide - Best builds, Switch Skills and more

sportskeeda.com:

Monster Hunter Rise is a massive game with hundreds of hours' worth of quests and activities for players to partake in. Although Monster Hunter games fall under the role-playing genre, the experience they offer is significantly different than any traditional RPG.

Unlike most role-playing games, Monster Hunter titles don't feature a traditional class system with different attributes governing a particular playstyle. Instead, a player's playstyle is determined purely by their weapon of choice.

Monster Hunter Rise features a huge selection of weapons from 14 different weapon types, with each one defining a distinct combat experience.

With the recent release of the Sunbreak expansion, developer Capcom has introduced even more weapons to the game. These weapons come with some very useful and fun new skills.

The expansion also brings the highly anticipated Master Rank quests to Monster Hunter Rise. This will give players the perfect incentive to try out the newly added weapons and forge new and unique builds.

Here, we take a look at the Bow, its strengths, skills and a few viable builds for the Master Rank quests in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

Note: This article is subjective and reflects the author's opinions.

Most weapons in Monster Hunter Rise are meant for close-quarter melee combat, with very few options for ranged battle.

Some weapons, like the Insect Glaive and the Gunlance, offer ranged combat options but don't exclusively commit to the ranged playstyle. The only exclusively ranged weapon options are the Light and Heavy Bowguns and the Bow.

Although both the Bowgun variants are pretty effective weapons against certain monsters, nothing compares to the precision and damage potential of the Bow.
