Monster Weak Spots

Monster Hunter Rise - Weak Spots.png
Weak spots are monster parts that have raw hit zone values (HZV) of 45 or higher. Raw HZVs on a specific monster part can vary depending on the raw damage type inflicted on the monster part.

Raw Damage Type Description
Slicing
(Sword Icon)		 Primarily dealt by bladed weapons such as the Long Sword and Insect Glaive. This damage type also has the ability to sever monster tails.
Blunt
(Hammer Icon)		 Primarily dealt by blunt weapons such as the Hammer and Hunting Horn. Accumulating this damage type results in flinches, exhaustion, and monster KOs.
Projectile
(Ammo Icon)		 Projectile damage is the primary damage type of all ranged weapons.

You can check the individual hit zone values of monster parts in the Physiology tab of the Large Monster Hunter Notes.
