I keep getting 6 and 8 with the sometimes 60-160 on anajaths while he constantly does 60-150. Monster Hunter World Iceborne: Best Weapons for Raw Damage. Monster Hunter World's Iceborne expansion sees a new weapon set come out on top as the best for raw damage, so here's a quick look at them.

When attacks strike a monster, two types of damage are dealt: Physical (Raw) damage, and Elemental damage (but only if the weapon has an Elemental attribute).

Some weapons have an abnormal status attribute instead of an Elemental attribute. These weapons will Physical damage and apply Status damage.

Physical damage includes Severing-type damage, Blunt-type damage, and Projectile-type damage. Elemental damage includes Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, and Dragon. There are also other sources of damage such as Fixed damage and Status damage. All damage types are dealt independent of each other.

Severing

Severing (sometimes known as Cutting) damage is the primary damage type for the following weapons:

The following attacks also deal Severing damage:

Hunting Horn's Handle Poke
Bow's Melee Attack deals Severing damage
Some Kinsects deal Severing damage
Slicing shot from Bowguns

Tails can only be cut by Severing damage. This happens when sufficient Severing damage has been accumulated on the tail, which then severs it.

Blunt

Blunt damage is the primary damage type for the following weapons:

The following attacks also deal Blunt damage:

Sword & Shield's shield-oriented attacks
- Sword/Shield Combo
- Shield Attack
- Shield Bash
- Hard Bash
- Falling Bash
Lance's Shield Attack
Kinsects with Blunt attribute

Blunt weapons deal Exhaust status when they hit a monster. If they hit a monster's head, they deal Stun damage.

Projectile

Projectile damage is the primary damage type for the following weapons:

Gunlance's Shelling attacks deal Fixed damage instead of Projectile damage.

Elemental

Elemental Attributes:

Fire
Water
Thunder
Ice
Dragon

Blademaster weapons can have an Elemental attribute, a Status attribute, or neither. Some Dual Blades have two Elemental/Status attributes, one for each blade.

The Bow may have an Elemental attribute. The Bowguns do not have natural Elemental attributes, but they can load Elemental shots that effectively functions as dealing Elemental damage when it hits a monster.

Elemental damage is mainly affected by the weapon's Elemental value and the monster's Elemental Hitzone. Abnormal Status damage is not affected by the monster's Physical or Elemental Hitzone values. Blademaster weapons have a 1-in-3 chance per hit to apply Abnormal Status damage, while Gunner weapons always apply Abnormal Status damage.

If a monster has no weakness to a specific element on their Hitzone, then no Elemental damage is dealt. The Physical damage done by the weapon is not affected, as Elemental and Physical damage are calculated separately.

Status Attacks

Abnormal Status attributes:

Poison
Paralysis
Sleep
Blast

Blademaster weapons can have an Abnormal Status attribute instead of an Elemental attribute. Bows cannot have a natural Status attribute, but may equip Status Coatings to make fired arrows apply Status damage. Equipping Status Coatings will disable the Bow's Elemental attribute temporarily. The Bowguns do not have natural Abnormal Status attributes, but can load Status shots that apply Abnormal Status damage.

For Blademaster weapons, each time an attack lands, the attack has a 1-in-3 chance of applyingAbnormal Status damage. For Gunner weapons, a successful hit will always apply Abnormal Status damage.

Applying Abnormal Status damage to a monster does not instantly activate it's effect. Instead, monsters have an innate tolerance to Status Ailments. To trigger a Status Ailment, enough Status damage must be dealt to a monster to overcome its tolerance threshold. Once a monster is affilicted with the Ailment, the accumulated Status damage is reset to 0 and additional Status damage cannot be dealt until the monster recovers. The only exception to this is Poison.

After the monster recovers, its tolerance threshold for the Ailment increases. This means it takes more Status damage must be accumulated before being able to inflict the monster with the same Ailment.

For all Ailments (except Blast), the accumulated Status damage disappears gradually due to the monster's tolerances. Overcoming this gradual decay is necessary to successfully trigger a Status Ailment on a monster.

Icon	Status	Effect(s)
Poison	Slowly drain the monster's health
Paralysis	Temporarily immobilizes the monster and makes it take a bit more damage
Sleep	Put the monster to sleep
Stun	Stun/KO the monster, which topples and immobilizes it
Exhausted	Drain the monster's stamina, making it tired
Blast	Triggers an explosion on a specific monster part, which deals damage

Factors for Damage Calculation

The following factors influence damage calculations:

BM = Blademaster

Factor	BM (Physical)	BM (Elemental)	Bowgun (Physical)	Bowgun (Elemental)
Attack Value	O	O	O	O
Motion Value	O	O
Sharpness	O	O
Weapon Adjustment	O	O	O	O
Sharpness Adjustment	O
Critical Hit	O	O
Monster Hitzone	O	O	O	O
Elemental Value	O	O
Projectile Adjustment	O
Critical Distance	O
Rapid Fire Adjustment	O	O

Attack Value

The Attack value of the Hunter is calculated from the Hunter's equipped weapon, offensive boosts (e.g. being in DB's Archdemon Mode or having a HH attack buff), equipped skills, items, and Food skills. When damage is calculated, only True values are used, and the Displayed Attack value is adjusted down by the Display Multiplier.

Motion Values

All weapon attacks have a Motion Value (MV), which determines what proportion of the Attack value is used in damage calculations. For example, a weaker move with 40 MV uses applies 40% of the Attack Value in calculating damage, while a stronger move with 80 MV applies 80% of the Attack Value in calculating damage.

In general, slow weapons make up for their slower attacks with larger MVs, and fast weapons make up for their faster attacks with smaller MVs.

Sharpness

Sharpness describes how sharp a weapon is. Sharper weapons deal more damage and are less likely to bounce when hitting tough body parts.

Weapon Sharpness is split into discrete colors (see below). Different colors provide different multipliers to the damage dealt by the player.

Sharpness	Icon	Physical
Red	x0.50	x0.25
Orange	x0.75	x0.50
Yellow	x1.00	x0.75
Green	x1.05	x1.00
Blue	x1.20	x1.0625
White	x1.32	x1.125

In addition to lower damage, weaker Sharpness colors causes some weapons to lose functionality. For example, at Orange Sharpness, the Gunlance's shells will deal less damage, the Switch Axe may bounce while in Sword mode, and the Dual Blades will not complete its full Blade Dance animation. At Red Sharpness, the Gunlance cannot shell.

Sharpness Gauge and Consumption

Each weapon can only make a specific amount
