Wilds Question about the weapons in the new update
I use the gore magala considering how good it is, but I have a couple questions about the newer weapons. Are they better than the artisan weapons because I’ve been using them now and they’re pretty powerful. As for weapons, I’m running the ones you get from Zoa and the bubble monster forget the name.

You can probably squeak a % or two more out of an artian weapon versus a zoh Shia weapon
Maybe not depending on weapon
Zoh seems to be strong for a crafted weapon, the skill adds a good amount of damage over the course of the hunt.

Short answer no. And new weapons won’t be for a while.
Artian has base 5%, high raw with more stacked on depending on rolls, an element of choice for free. And three level 3 deco slots. Though one of those can be regarded as the built in skills on weapons. But two level 3 deco slots is still very good. Until monster weapons get more deco slots, higher damage, or unique weapon skills, Artian will stay meta for a while until they introduce a new tier of weapons. But then they might just increase the tiers for Artian too.
Layered weapons are being worked on so hopefully soon we’ll at least see diversity in weapon looks.

Is there any best artisan weapon hunting horn or is it just paralysis cause that’s what I use most commonly

the only real thing Shia weapons have going for them is the fact that they are gorgeous, afaik not a single weapon class is using them as "meta". A decent rolled Artian has more raw and double the element, beter deco slots, better sharpness, etc, though they look boring.
