Great Tutorial! Just one note as an SnS main: You can back hop after any move in a combo, including Spinning Reaper, so something i have found really nice it to loop Perfect Rush by ending it with the spinning reaper and then back hopping and starting Perfect Rush. In addition if the opening isn’t large you can do the shield bash/drill slash combo, end with spinning reaper, and then back hop into advancing slash/sliding slash, and then repeat. Not sure it this is the absolute most damaging combo but it’s been what I’m using (the inputs are Forward + A, A, A, X+A, Back + A but don’t hold back or A, and then repeat). I find this combo works best with Sliding slash and Drill Slash, however it works well will any configuration of skills
@ididstuff3x4983 жыл бұрын
It's worth mentioning that from most SnS attacks that launch you up into the air you can use your Falling Shadow. It's not exactly useful for damage, but its pretty useful if you're up in the air and the monster is about to do something that'd swat you outta the sky and you need to get out of the way.

A few things I'd like to add: Falling Shadow has some few extra properties that were not mentioned: you can use the move midair to cancel other moves you were currently doing, for example you can use Falling Shadow, do the jumping slashes and use another Falling Shadow instead of committing to the falling bash/slash, which can be useful if you notice the monster's starting to attack you or if it's moving to reposition. You can also cancel the jump you do during the perfect rush with the Falling Shadow.
@SinfireTitan3 жыл бұрын
Protip: While S&S is a weapon that has no skills unique to it, it does benefit greatly from Wirebug Whisperer 3. The reduced cooldown on it's silkbinds is a welcome improvement, as Metsu Shoryugeki's damage output helps (Metsu is considered more useful than Windmill due to being able to target a monster's individual parts or head more easily, making tripping or KOing more consistent).

One thing I've noticed is that the sns also has an...okayish ranged damage option, though technically everyone has it. Since we have unlimited kunai it means you can spam them in moments where it's not safe to approach. Throw in the dango skill that increases kunai damage and you're replacing what would be 0 dps downtime into a small trickle of damage. It also means you can bide your time a bit easier when fighting annoying monsters that keep bouncing attacks.

@SomeGuyFromUtah2 жыл бұрын
Went Sword and Shield for the first time on PC MHR and I have to say I love it. Couple minor notes to this.. Ending Perfect Rush with Spinning reaper is better than expected because the thrust has to be spot on and sometimes I'm not lined up perfectly for the final attack. The thing I love the most about this weapon the wide variety of armor skills that provide a benefit with this weapon.... pretty much everything that isn't related to phials or ranged specific can be useful. On Hammer I love gunning for the head non-stop although it gets less effective as the fight goes on. On Greatsword I loved me some tail chopping. On Dual Blades I love the speed and fast attacks. I feel like I have access to all three of these playstyles built into this one weapon. It's a little harder to KO or to chop a tail, but it's totally doable... and I would say that because resistance builds up against the same type of attack over time against a monster this weapon is extra rewarding (IE... easier to get 1 stun and 1 paralyze than it is to get 2 stuns). I typically prioritize the tail first and once it's chopped I focus on the head, and along the way I usually get a few additional parts broken as well. Last little comment - I only have access to windmill so far, and I think my favorite thing about it is how easy it makes it to mount/ride monsters. I always start a hunt by going to the non-target monster for a quick mount and some starter damage and usually I just pop windmill right on top of the monster and it's ready to be mounted (aerial attacks and wirebug attacks trigger mount/riding in MHR). Oh yeah.. and even though this uses both wirebugs, once you mount the monster wirebugs/dodges are immediately reset, so there's no downside. That being said I'm sure I'll be swapping to Metsu Shoryugeki once I have it unlocked... both the guard point and the sharpness preservation seem top tier.

While the weapon does let you do this, it's just faster to sheath your weapon and drink the potion since you can run while doing so. The true power of using items with SnS are things like Flash bombs (for Rathalos) and Sonic bombs (for Diablos).

In rise you can actually run whilst using the item with the weapon drawn out. Just start chugging the potion and press the sprint button you will sprint the same way you can when its sheathed. It's new to rise during world/ice you would be stuck at a walking pace.

@@rockySP4S It's a huge change. Sheathing speed though has been reduced alot in Rise which has reduced it being such a strong perk of sword and shield in previous games.

Great video! You sir are a master artist with the SnS, while I’m doing little doodles on a napkin. I make SnS look boring. This video makes me want to stick with it and get better
