As Twitter user Xyless points out, fire is the least effective element against the monster.
Imagine a movie in which Superman goes rogue and they show Batman coming in and fighting him with a yellow sunlight gun instead of kryptonite. That’s how dumb this is.

My Game News Flash reports that Monster Hunter fans in Japan were also quick to note this. I’m sure whoever made the poster picked the flaming blades because the colour complemented the title, but it might’ve been a good idea to pick a shoot with weapons that actually do elemental damage!
