With the start of your experience on Monster hunter rise you will immediately have to make a very important choice, which is to understand which weapon you will want to use for the next hours of gameplay. In all there will be 14 different classes at your disposal, each with its strengths, weaknesses and particularities in general.
In this guide, in particular, we will talk about the Light Crossbow, specifying their various basic moves, combos, silkworm attacks and trading skills, along with some general tips on how to use them.
Furthermore, if the guide is not enough for you and you want the weapon in action, I refer you directly to Edivad video tutorial, one of the contributors from the facebook page La Taverna del Cacciatore:
Basic commands
As easily understood by the name, the Light Crossbow is a remote weapon, this requires a radical change of all the basic game commands since with this weapon you will have to juggle between game actions and bullet changes.
La great variety of bullets available is the real highlight of this weapon, which like its heavy version is able to inflict damage of all kinds and status while remaining at a safe distance from the monster. Each different type of crossbow will have different bullets to use and sometimes will allow you to use certain shots more effectively, loading or firing faster than others.
Another peculiarity of the light crossbow is the wide choice of modifications applicable to the weapon that will allow you to adapt it to your style of play. Furthermore, compared to its heavy version, it allows you to move much more easily in the course of battles.
Attacks with basic silk silk
Also the Light Crossbow can have 2 different Silkweave Attacks from the beginning, both with different cost and use.
Silkworm flight
A silkworm attack that can be activated with R and X. Snap up. For a short range attack, press ZR. It costs two silkworm insect charges.
Fan leap
A silkworm attack that can be activated with R and A. Shoot with ZR, reload with X and use the wyvern blast below with A. Costs a silkworm bug charge.
Exchange skill
As with any category of weapons, the Light Crossbow will be able to make use of Exchange skill, or interchangeable attacks that you will unlock with specific missions after you have used it enough.
Two of these will replace basic attacks, while one can replace an Attack with silk silk. However, keep in mind that each can only substitute for some specific attacks, modifying the resulting move but keeping the buttons to press to perform it identical.
Elemental Reload (replaces Reload)
Elemental Reload is an attack that replaces the recharge. Allows you to reload hits with a special mechanism that slows down the reload but allows elemental hits to inflict greater damage.
Quickstep Evade (replaces Forward Dodge)
Quickstep Evade is an attack that replaces the Forward Dodge. It consists of a quick dodge that can be done with the weapon unsheathed that covers less distance than the normal dodge but has a shorter reload time. It also allows bullets fired after executing it to do more damage.
Fanning Maneuver (replaces Fan Leap)
Fanning maneuver is a silkworm attack that it replaces Fan leap, always requesting as input R + A. It consists of a maneuver that uses the silkworm insect to quickly flank the target. Shots can also be fired on the move and deal increased damage.
