monster hunter freedom: awesome weapons! their attack power was no disadvantage at all! with poison battleaxe u could take down rathalos!

mhfu: their attack power was a real drawback and u couldn't rely on them too much:(

mhtri: their attack power was no more a problem! and they got the shield bash too, but the fact that they kept becoming blunt was horrible!
