Monster Hunter Wilds | Long Sword New Moves Guide

[@edwardbrannon4418]

Longsword then, Longsword now, Longsword forever

[@moonrabbit2334]

Yup yup

[@bloodlusthunter382]

Hell yeah brother!

[@Gazooke]

The more they hate it the more I play it

[@JadeOP100]

Long sword for never, I never got Into mh but Dark souls GS are amazing , here tho they are so big and fast it feels like they're are not a big deal to use I prefer the dual swords to try when i play this game cuz I like Big sword cuz they feel heavy not just big

[@Zerochilluwu]

@@JadeOP100 ahhh what? GS are faster in souls than this game GS in this game is a slow and deliberate weapon are you confusing GS with LS ? LS is kind of comparable with the Great Katana in ER imho.

[@antonitescaro2728]

Important thing he didn't mention about spirit charge, if you're doing spirit combo and run out of spirit gauge mid combo, you can start spirit charging, it will do a much faster animation and still allow you to finish the combo and level up the spirit gauge.

[@NihongoWakannai]

Why would you ever do full spirit combo? Charge just seems faster 100% of the time

[@NoxL0w]

​@NihongoWakannai imo for the damage and topping up red gauge prob. since the charged roundslash has the same damage as a reg roundslash, so doing the full combo in red gauge still does good damage. and maybe for saving stam but not sure abt that one

[@MrBlainev]

​@@NoxL0wif decorations are anything like the previous game which surely they will be. Charger will be used heavily in LS making charge Round slash meta.

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

it's also very useful to time the attack and not miss the final hit when the monster decide to do an awkward move

[@chefbenji1880]

Something I noticed is that unlike in world, you can no longer do triangle attacks in middle of a spirit combo to get extra spirit meter. Instead that function is now reserved exclusively for circle attacks only.

[@QwertYuiop-yt3uh]

Yeah, it's a bit of getting used to but ultimately a smart choice for them to make the quick attacks exclusively on circle and the slow ones on triangle

[@QwertYuiop-yt3uh]

@@deetsitmeisterjd do another R2 after spirit roundslash

[@timsohn7057]

Not just world but pretty much up to now. The changes to LS really made me update my 10 yr+ of LS usage. Some of the other things I had to get used to is R2 combo has a step in downward slash that throws me off in distance measuring. Not sheathing when I am about to miss a helmbreaker is another thing haha!

[@actz114]

Nnnoooo :(

[@mitchelltietsort7395]

4:00 One thing to note, foresight whirl slash is a move that consumes your red guage if the attack is missed. You can see this earlier in this same video. Thought it worth mentioning, great video.

[@mattyryon]

He did mention it around 2:40

[@damnbleu9459]

This was an excellent assessment, I am team Bow all the way. Given the option to carry two weapons, I am seeking a secondary weapon that complements my primary choice. I am currently deciding between the Long Sword and the Sword and Shield. The Long Sword holds particular significance for me, as it was my original weapon when I first played Monster Hunter: World. By choosing the Long Sword as my secondary weapon, I can engage enemies at close range to inflict wounds. This strategy allows me to switch back to the Bow to target these wounds from a distance. I plan to repeat this process and adapt as necessary to the enemies' changes. This approach effectively covers both close and mid-range combat scenarios.

[@kylekingsley6111]

Can't wait to see how to improve my hammer game as I have just been playing it like a older monster hunter and forgot focus mode even exists lmao

[@SolidSnake240]

So far this is looking like the best version of Longsword 🔥

[@-luciddream-]

Generations ultimate was best version and I wish this was a follow up to that and not world.

[@blackweylyn]

I'm a Monster Hunter veteran but I still come to the channel for things I may have missed in my own gameplay. Didnt know about the rotation on a sheathe in focus mode!

[@aldrinkevintamse4341]

Longsword 4ever. Arekkz is really the MH related go to guy. Kudos!

[@athroughzdude]

Iai Spirit Slash can also now be comboed into Spirit Slash 3 which can continue into Roundslash.

[@taciturne4432]

Same in rise

[@taciturne4432]

Same in rise

[@zat1245]

Whoa nice. So many ways.

[@kahrugiadesu1501]

2:15 Maybe it's because early game enemies, well rn at least have thick pig-like skin like the chatacabra, doshigumas have probably like thick mammal skin and since blades are deadly to animal/human skin it wounds parts faster than a blade trying to wound an enemy riddled with armor, unless they're like greatsword or the heavier weapons, since weapons do have better interactions to parts like hammer being better for stunning/staggering and blades for severing in previous generations, just guessing if the Monster Hunter team are really going for the realism of what weapons do to certain enemies.

[@MrJontheStallion]

its important to note, using focus mode to aim your attacks is extremely helpful. as a person who played a lot of world, i kept missing counter follow ups even when putting the correct directional inputs even for weapons like the chargeblade, hitting AEDs and SAEDs got infinitely easier once i started using focus mode to aim them. Happy hunting!

[@tyopiusable]

I was right about holding R2 to jump straight into a spirit slash 👌

[@indrahaseo]

thank you for excellent video about long sword new moves guide that I need to learn new moves. Thanks man!

[@ArekkzGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@adamparr6464]

Sword & Shield, Insect Glaive & Hunting Horn. They were my go-to weapons behind Long Sword.

[@Alfa_OmegaGames]

The video was amazing. Looking forward for the Dual Swords video

[@HansangVibration]

great guides! I hope we will see new "Complete Noob Weapon Guides" when the full game releases, as there will be A LOT of new players. This video takes for granted you already know how to use the roundouse slash to upgrade the gauge level. I just love watching guides, i will watch them all even if i have more than 3000 hours total in MH heheh

[@relvendom8684]

This is the most accurate video i've seen so far

[@DragonSoul621]

The longsword new "demon mode" state makes it feel so damn nice and fluid, its probably going to become my main weapon alongside chargeblade, switchaxe and maybe bow or hunting horn.

[@MarcLevins]

CANNOT WAIT to play this myself, looking forward to my beloved switch axe the most

[@MrBlainev]

Nothing compared to Charge Blade. Rise made me drop it because of the consistent SAED spam meta. Savage axe was always my thing in world.

[@lorenzoooooo1773]

I've been playing Charge Blade and man oh man it's fun. I'm looking forward to the new Goup set bonus because I think I will main Charge blade and bow as my secondary. Bow was my main in Iceborne so can wait to see how gear will affect the decisions on weapon pairings.

[@downsonjerome7905]

Another thing to note is that the Seikrat dismount attack is actually a parry too.

[@zodrickzheioh7318]

Yo, I've only had a short amount of time to play so far, but the Red Gague R2+O move is my new favorite for sure! That move just has so much potential!!!

[@toakamar8369]

Interesting how they made the jumping animation from switching scrolls in Sunbreak to making it an actual counter

[@ghosthunterOPS]

Wish they would release it as a demo like in the past. Haven’t had time to play much of the beta. I was able to play like 45 minutes, had a blast. Got through the 1st story mission, but would love to explore. BTW hammer is amazing, been a hammer main in World and Rise.

[@NihongoWakannai]

This version is still buggy and rough hence it's a beta. Demo will release closer to launch date

[@AngelMorales-lr9um]

After the beta I gotta preorder its so fun!!!!

[@Coralscove]

Fun fact the dismount attack actually has counter frames like the iai and the foresight slash attacks

[@HeavenOnHigh]

i just learned that this blessed arachnophobia mode changes spiders into the slime blobs

[@lyrad24]

Maaaaan, I am just wondering how those happened. I actually forgot to check if they're in the games as guides but thank you for this!

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

Get to red quickly, DPS and dance with the monster, and when you are near the end of the spirit gauge you helm break + follow up, then use the wounds to level the gauge back up to red.

[@MasutaMJ]

I had to like the video just for the power god and animé bit

[@Michealpham]

Roundhouse slash sheathe can be cancelled with a regular Triangle/Y attack so you don't have to Iai sheathe anymore to speed things up btw

[@MifuTaru]

You can counter from dismount with triangle and circle

[@DeMause]

Looking forward to seeing the Hammer and Sword&Shield videos.

[@notme6753]

Can we disable the crimson slash combo? It feels weird and I'm not used to it.

[@Bollard]

I don't know why they killed off Triangle Triangle Circle for the basic combo but as a MHFU player with like 1k hours on the LS I am traumatised :(

[@niwdlab14]

is there any way to access the barrel training dummy after the story mode?

[@tsunami6253]

My main two: Lance and Long Sword. Oh man, its soo good in MH: Wilds!!

[@aadam4035]

Im gonna main swaxe for the first time. So excited!

[@KelvJason]

Love the new additions.

[@StretchyPlays]

Damn, the Spirit charge thing that levels up the gauge just by holding R2 is crazy. My problem with LS has always been landing the full spirit combo to level up, and it looks much easier now. Might have to go full weeb in Wilds.

[@alexp.4902]

Seems like longsword got a lot of love again

[@ryean8212]

As it always does, more so than most other weapons unfortunately

[@alexp.4902]

@ryean8212 always with the anime weapons

[@teibdavies242]

@@alexp.4902except for insect glaive they nerfed it

[@kotestalina3838]

Have you seen the moves dual blades got they are insane too

[@LunarLucar]

Fingers crossed for a rundown of the switch axe as well.

[@jacobpearson7184]

I'd like to see a gunlance guide next. I've already figured out most of the new things but am sure I missed something!

[@Akzerru]

Good overview! I am digging the Long Sword in this game. These changes are amazing and I am having a blast.

[@Mabujold]

Oh this new gauge might make it worth it to get skills that increase it's duration depending on how much you want to stay in it or just use your finisher to get out and build it up again.

[@reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemastere1004]

Important point he forgot to mention is that the dismount attack is actually a counter that will increase level up your spirit gauge.

[@FreakinSpooky]

Me: Alright, finally gonna main something different! Longsword: Are you sure about that?

[@davisvann5607]

Hunting Horn mains call out!

[@bluefiredemon448]

A tip for IG you can do a direct descending trust by: Holding circle->vault->hold circle release You can aim your descending trust with your focus mode

[@clydenavs8498]

Power prolonger is a must now i guess to keep red

[@BTHobbies]

Let's see some Hunting Horn!

[@cluckoftheduck]

Doot doot!!!

[@Monkeyman5625]

Fade slash now also mostly fills your gauge

[@xIronPonyx]

i just pulled off the most anime of kills, i managed to get the final hit on a monster with the sheathing animation after a mounted wounded attack. daaaang

[@Voltaire0630]

Can't wait for the peppo videos

[@boogss.j.3206]

cancellable helmbreaker. what a time to be alive

[@YetAnotherHunter]

Longsword mains are gonna do insane numbers

[@corytowler]

You can turn off auto sheath btw in the settings

[@avroz_]

First! But on a real note I'm so hyped for Wilds rraaa

[@taciturne4432]

What’s is worth doing in red gauge ? Triangle combo or r2 combo ?

[@NaiveCheetah]

Started the beta wanting to try a new weapon for a change, used switch axe and actually really enjoyed trying to learn it; Then for comfort I used the Longsword did the new spirit release slash and now I'm never leaving my Longsword again 😂.

[@delanochristian12]

question is do quick sheath matter in wild? in world quick sheath is useless, i love quick sheath in rise. Hope they make quick sheath matter in wild

[@farismaulana6250]

Tsubame Gaeshi added! LET'S GOOOO

[@walher4523]

I really want to see what's up with the gunlance in the demo !

[@reymed3322]

Weapons I wanna try first when the game releases: LS, Glaive, GL and Bow.

[@basilnottheherb]

Ooooo man now if quick sheath works a little more.like rise (but not as busted) we have the perfect ls

[@kamenriderasylum5627]

0:33 That is now no longer available as an option. This is my Megatron weapon from The Last Knight.

[@wreck4ge15]

How about the timing of Iai Slash? Is it like the exact frame like it was in Rise or is it a bit more „forgiving“?

[@KeeperOfTheGate02]

Take a shot every time you hear him say “increases your spirit level”. This thing’s about to promote every other weapon in the quest into spectator mode

[@Sherrycake]

Waiting for the bow build! Really overwhelmed with the new HUD and combo's 😅

[@iplayzzz]

I've never liked longsword throughout the monster hunter series except freedom unite. But after playing the wilds beta I might be a longsword main

[@decemberferret]

Nayve i missed the tip but when in redmode foresight does a sick flip and only uses stamina

[@yoyoyo-r3m]

bros back with wilds wb

[@WhoCares-me9nj]

Hey Arekkz gaming. You should adjust the descrition. You mention charge blade

[@TrongVue]

Cant wait to get quick sheathe 3

[@neostorm999]

Someone confirm this for me: Can the Foresight Slash and the Ia Spirit slash still activate/evade through monster roars? I swear, I have not evaded one roar with those moves or I'm just timing it wrong.

[@MightyZionn]

So I won’t whiff the end of spirit blade round slash anymore, fantastic.

[@italymilan4634]

does the slinger have the same function as hammer has? (applicable to all weapon)

[@grandpaeyebrows]

Need that bow guide brother

[@iambatmanwholaughs2881]

I have a feeling that Seregios may make a return

[@bruskydu]

Dang, do they really need to buff LS?

[@romankoch8507]

jo longsword got some sugar from capcom.. that´s nice even if im not LS main.. th for your passionate videos

[@ArekkzGaming]

Glad you like them!

6:30 the most anime thing I've seen in this game

[@Vill-e3v]

Okay, but they really need to give me a way to completely remap those face buttons, having square and circle being anything other than attack and dodge kept messing me up during the Chatacabra hunt

[@D_To_The_J]

Ls, CB,switch axe and hammer are feeling great. Bow felt very underwhelming, not sure why.

Getting it for ps5 have been playing the beta it's amazing but will it run on steam deck? That's my biggest questions

[@MrCrypto137]

We will find out Friday. Will be a tough one for sure tho. The game seems to be very demanding judging by the PS5 performance
