Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak - Great Sword's Surge Slash Combo is AMAZING!

[@CaptainOachkatzl]

left out the most important part about the second "B" move. you can use it to turn your hunter around by up to ~90 degrees and thus hit the last parts of your combo if you were previously not facing the monster.

These somewhat customizable movesets need to carry over to the next mainline MH game imo. Were gonna lose alot of cool playstyles if they dont, and that includes this new version of the GS. I've more or less mained this weapon since the 1st game on the ps2, and I've never had as much fun with it as I am in sunbreak. These new moves are great and when they get removed I'll be very disappointed.

[@DapimpBDSD]

Yeah, I highly doubt they will, at least not in the next "mainline" MH, like ps5 MH. There's 2 dev teams at MH from my understanding, one for Consoles and another for Nintendo consoles (not sure what their exact name would be but basically non "main" console games) The console team makes a more "AAA" MH game, where as the other team makes one for "mobile"/ handheld gaming. I hope they add some new moves but idk, seems unlikely but I guess it depends on how they do the next clutch claw/wirebug system. MHW is a bit slower game compared to Rise BUT that's due mostly to the limits of higher graphics, but Elden Ring does show that faster gameplay with good graphics is possible albeit ER can be very janky at time (I remember the frame drops from Malenias 2nd stage)

[@soro3969]

Very unlikely to happen. There's Team A and Team B Team A are the people who created World the more grounded and classic approach to MH. Team B are the people who created Generations/Rise which are the more gimmicky/flashier versions of MH and are the ones who are continuing the Nintendo versions until they get ported to steam.

[@gringgles2633]

the evelotuion of gs is insane over the games existence most people started MH after it gained its charge ability (yeah GS in the first game DID NOT CHARGE) then we basically got a slap n sheath playstyle and that hel for a really long time until generations and then world just made gs feel so much smother with the tackle and rise has just taken that up another notch

[@EggplantOven]

@@soro3969 i agree. If you play rise then immediately play iceborn you can see the huge difference in play speeds. Rise is insanely faster and iceborn it’s slower and more methodical just like the classic MH games. I really hope that don’t abandon the other style and just stick with the newer arcade play-style because of $$$.

[@soro3969]

@@EggplantOven Doubt they will abandon the 2 things. Generation was suppose to be an anniversary spin off and got all the coolest wackiest skills. But they realized that they can really work off on it. Now they technically have 2 main games and it will likely rotate like that every other 2 years. MH 6 Classic then MH6 Classic Expansion (2 years worth) then MH 6 Gimmicky into MH 6 Gimmicky

The Y+B final attack has additional part breaking damage, so it's great for that. The B combo has increased elemental values.

also if you use the Spin attack B as the second move in the combo it can be used for slightly repositioning your final Y or YB attack, input a direction while performing the spin attack as second move and it will kinda act like reaiming during a charge, you get about a 90 degree cone of readjustment

Surge slash is fun, adds a moving/tracking playstyle. I use my scrolls and a hybrid build to have counter open for downs/sleeps and surge for multi-player as trying to position vs random monster movement is a pain. Very happy to have a new way of playing for GS, feels good.

[@leophoenix1643]

I’ve been having a ton of fun with surge slash using a sleep greatsword build. I relied on sleep procs at first to help get a nice dps window while exploring the move set. Now I’m sticking with it because I get more attack windows than charge style to get any amount of damage I can and when the monster’s asleep…well, let’s just say strong arm stance + small barrel bomb = a smile on my face.

[@Dragongamz1]

Personally I prefer the Surge Slash style of Greatsword over the normal style. It's honestly a lot more fun to me

[@Ostrid1]

We don't even have to choose between the 2. Just use switch skill to true charge slash downed or sleeping And then swap to surge mode to attack when monster is back up.

Surge has the possibility to synergize with chain crit, element/status, and other skills that offer bonus based on consecutive hits. Yes strongarm is stronger but surge is refreshing after using GS for so long plus I can switch skill to true charge when monster is down.

Yeah, I never enjoyed the GS play style before. With this I feel less like I'm constantly waiting for the monster to let me do something

I don't like how Surge feels so I'll keep using GS without it but I'm glad it's got more options for people to use

[@LucasTheBoi]

I know it's heresy to like charge-less GreatSword, but surge slash is so good when combined with blood rite, especially the last upswing

[@Kreau]

It was the Wyvern Ignition blade in MH: World that got me interested in the weapon class, and the super armor silkbind moves only made me consistently play with it. I haven't started branching out from my main (Charge Blade) for Sunbreak yet but I am really eager to try the Greatsword, Sns, and SweepAxe moves!

[@Fox_Olive]

Isnt there a hidden bonus for each combo finisher though? The y one is higher raw, the y b is part break and the b is increased element/status

[@jafortune]

Actually the falling slash finisher is the weakest for raw motion value, but unlike the other 2 it only hits once and therefore consumes one less point of sharpness. Both the rising and vortex finish hit higher total raw between their 2-hits each in addition to their other qualities.

[@notSusNugget]

@@jafortune thanks. Anywhere where I can see the stats/numbers?

[@MaeBearheart]

A quick combo I use for getting to a tackle quickly is ZR+X to do the kick and then you can combo that into a shoulder charge and then a charge attack. At that point you might as well block if it's an emergency but I can see some big brain counter setups with it.

[@jamesswoger9251]

This is kinda what I wish axe mode of switch axe would be like. I wish it was more dynamic like this. It still feels like just something you use to get sword gauge back, or sneak in some damage during a highly mobile monster phase. It's probably just that there isn't really a good variety of moves between the 3 inputs. All the all B/A/⭕ input does is wide sweep.

[@jasonkeith2832]

Exactly. Even Iceborne tried to make some use for axe mode with the amped axe having a boosted part break value, but they got rid of it in Rise and made it just a boost to sword guage growth.

[@escadora2206]

Imma be honest. The way they made swaxe in sunbreak is absolutely perfect imop. I use RapidMorph all the time and use both axe and sword mode while also morphing a lot. Absolutely love it

[@jasonkeith2832]

@@escadora2206 The transition attacks are good, but there is no real reason to use anything else in axe mode. All the big damage moves are either sword or swap, and axe itself doesn't have a real niche in its own moveset.

[@burg3575]

This is my absolute go-to when I just want to get some fast damage in and just maneuver and reposition quickly. Really useful during those times when the target monster just jitters and moves all over the place refusing to take the big hit from the normal GS style.

[@harmonizedentropy7164]

Something to note about rising slash 3 is that the second hit always hits where the tip of the greatsword ends at, which seems odd, but it can be useful for hitting hard to reach weakpoints or breakable parts like the back of monsters, or if you are out of reach of the head of a toppled monster. I reccomend some way to reduce the need to sharpen if youre using surge slash because it eats up sharpness

[@NidoKnight]

I love the surge slash. I’ve been a switchaxe main since the weapon came out, but I picked up GS in monster Hunter world and I played through most of the game with different Greatswords, now it’s my secondary when I feel like switch axe ain’t cutting it or simply when I get bored of it. I feel like it’s very insteresting adding combos to a weapon that originally was meant to forgo combos for one giant destructive hit.

[@hexmancer69]

I've found that this works pretty well with part breaker for whatever reason. I can't describe how satisfying it is to uppercut combo (Y/B in vid) to snip tail. The 45deg angle of the last poke is just perfect for those high up tails

[@abyssphantom6786]

Yes, each move has a hidden modifier when used as the 3rd and final move. Y+B gets bonus part breaker on its own, B gets bonus element/status, and Y gets bonus Raw.

[@tropicallad4744]

Pairing Surge Slash with Adamant Charged Slash/Backslide/Rage Slash, plus the super armor from the last hit of Vortex Slash makes me feel like an untouchable tank. I've never had so much fun with Greatsword than I did now, I hope this combo makes its way into future titles.

[@rock21611]

This is single-handedly responsible for me finally putting real time into the greatsword. The extra mobility and aggression is a fantastic gateway to let me use the weapon without feeling like I’m wasting 70-80% of my attacks until I get used to it, which was how I felt when I tried to learn it in World.

[@Robodob0]

It may have been missed mentioning that the Strong Charge after completing a Surge Slash combo is a faster charging version. Also worth adding that surge slash pairs well with evade extender, and brings back the classic hit n run playstyle with better combo potential.

[@gerrynava981]

AAAA I hadnt thought about using evade extender with surge slash, its gonna make positioning a lot easier now

[@potatoexe5410]

Unless I'm mistaken the faster charge only happens if you mix different surge slash combo lines. Could never get it with just the overhead combo but can easily do it when mixing the overhead with at least 1 spin

[@neurosis51]

Stuff like this is why I adore the combat of monster hunter and near no one talks about. It's not just that it has a lot of mechanical depth to the combos and combat as a whole, it's also about the animation of them; There is proper animation transitions for every attack that they thoughtfully had their mocap guys do in a way that seamlessly flow into any of the possible branching attacks (the same thing applies to the character returning to their idle stance from any of these animations as well). This way you don't get that visual where your character's pose just snaps to the startup frame of whatever attack you inputted, making it look jank. Even Darksouls/eldenring doesn't have this for a lot of it's animations and there is way less going on depth wise for the combat there. And the Great sword is still one of the simpler weapons even with this new combo moveset.

[@kevinferdian746]

[@Morveyn]

I was always fairly uninterested in greatsword due to how its playstyle generally involved either waiting for the monster to stop moving, or otherwise throw out guesses as to where it'll be for your swings, making it a somewhat too...passive to be fun, inbetween those TCS setups. Between surge slash, block tackle, and strongarm stance, 'defensive' playstyle gets plenty of tools to mix it up with aggressive monsters and be rewarded for it, and the new 'aggressive' playstyle lets you take an active part in fighting the monster even as its running around, with backslide even letting you continue your combo at a different angle. Since Sunbreak dropped, playing GS with a mix of malzeno and kushala armor to become a nigh unkillable brawler has been some of the most fun I've had with the series in a long time.

[@aheahe7943]

mind dropping your build? I've also never been a fan of GS from any MH game, but this surge combo stuff has got me rethinking that stance. And the aesthetic is bad ass too, Full Gore Magala set + weapon for the dark, edgy fantasy swordsmen vibe is kinda doing it for me.

[@Morveyn]

@@aheahe7943 Malzeno chest/belt and Kushala gloves/greaves are the two important parts, you can shuffle around on helmet and trinket as you see fit, but those four pieces give you 3 points of Blood Rite and 3 points of Kushala Blessing for the broken part lifesteal and hyper-regeneration respectively. Even without the most optimum meta damage skills, most decent greatswords will hit hard enough to refill your health to full in just a few surge slash swings, and the boosted red gauge length with recovery up 3 will let you shrug off big hits in moments even without the lifesteal, and makes blocking attacks feel much less punishing as a result. Toss on Defense up 7 for extra immortality, as well as weakness exploit/partbreaker to go all in on the blood rite synergy, and you'll go entire hunts without hitting the sippy at all.

[@aheahe7943]

@@Morveyn legend, gonna have to try this out when i get home. cheers

[@PerfectDarkly]

Even Blood Rite 3 alone is honestly enough to carry Great Sword once you understand your opportunities, the health on hit is absolutely bonkers with those motion values. If you pair it with Stun Resist 3, tanking and punishing with Adamant and Rage Slash just pays for itself most of the time

[@darryanvializ1502]

On top of all the good things that come with Surge Slash combo, I also find that it makes backslide actually useful unlike with the charged slash combo. It even says in the description that it synergizes really well with Surge Slash combo, allowing for a quick evade AND an attack.

[@Rytom]

The back step is incredibly useful with the charge playstyle. It allows you to dodge/reposition with invunframes, and skip a charge level. When you master strongarm stance, tackle and basktep, you can pull off many, many TCS with style

I generally don't really play GS, but I wanted to try the surge slash combo and thus did my first couple MR hunts with GS. And it's good I did. I was originally unsure how to best get used to switch skill swapping as all of my usual weapons don't really need it on surface level. With GS however, it was easy to figure out a use case and thus use it often and get used to it - surge combo when the monster is very active, switch to charge combo when it's tired, staused or down. In a way, GS was a great teacher for the new feature. Outside of that, I really like it as well. Swinging a big sword quite fast just feels great (it's why I use SA a lot) and the weapon even lets you block and charge. It's a swiss army knife. I really like running status with it (so far, sleep)

It seems to be slower in animation by a smidgeon, but heaps more impactful. Excellent for staggering the monster for the charged attacks, or shoulder bash to rage slash!

I got a little bored after 100 hrs of CB in World and began to use the GS, I loved it. Now in Rise after use CB for a while (I love CB and Duals in Rise) I tried the GS with the Sunbreak new styles, Oh boy, I'm destroying monsters with that thing, normally I use the new Style and once I stun them rapidly switch to the old one to old bunga bunga massive damage. By the way I also love Duals in Rise, there so much better in Rise than in World. The CB I think I like it more in Iceborne. I've been trying to use other weapons but I cannot find other weapons that can make massive damage like GS's True Charge Slash and CB's SAED, I think GS is great for raw damage, CB for elemental damage and Duals for status damage. With all those Sunbreak styles feels like what MH Generations did, maybe World was a step back compared with Generations in that regard.

[@blyatfulcommunism171]

Barely used surge slash throughout Sunbreak, though it does intrigue me a bit. I’ve noticed specific matchups in the game are trickier for GS to maneuver around. Most notable one that comes to mind is Seregios, though personally monsters like Barioth, Blood Orange, Auroracanth and some cases Magmadron and Master Goss have given me personally some issues. Surge slash could be a way for GS to keep up with the faster paced fights in Sunbreak, where committing to Strongarm and positioning might be harder to do so, alongside making element and status GS builds viable choices now. Another noteworthy attribute is with Anomaly quests, Qurio spots generate on limbs that traditional GS gameplay struggles to hit(mainly rear legs on leviathan class and smaller fanged beasts), so surge slash could be good at targeting those spots

I did have a 3 focus set, but I noticed that I was charging faster on my strong and true charge, then I was on my other scroll without the true charge slash

I’ve been used to the standard charge slashes that moving into the surge slash combos feels a bit clunky.

Also after counter stance it goes into the third hit of surge combo. Figured that out the hard way without reading lol

I play aggressively with the greatsword means I usually eat the monster attacks thru shoulder bash so I confidently jump in front of the monster and fearlessly attack it regardless if it's raged or continuously attacking because the more it attacks the better for my play style. It's like when everyone is running away from the monster when it's attacking but my play style allows me to be right in there confronting the monster while every body is keeping their distance. Feels badass. So Surge style doesn't really fit my play style because I need to find specific scenarios to make a full combo or to avoid being stopped at - if it can only do shoulder bash in the middle of the combo damn that will be so good.

I need to know that head armour though, that looks clean

[@mrhuhuhh]

hope this trend continues to other weapons like charge blade and dual blades, would like different movesets for all weapons eventually
