Are you planning to do tutorials for the 13 remaining weapons? I would like to see some spicy combos from the master.

[@Joker-pz6nr]

I would like sns because it's a bit more to time this new move they added to it. I would like a tutorial for it if that's ok with the amount time you have to spare.

This is balancing done right. They've made it less safe with the Foresight Slash nerf but introduced a host of new moves that expand the kit so that the old power of FSS can be accessed, and making the process of getting there more fun with those new moves.

I feel like it's worth pointing out that using slinger ammo mid spirit combo allows you to turn your character in whatever direction you're facing while shooting, and continue the combo in that direction. Otherwise good tips and tricks for new players.

This is a good tip! Wasn't aware of this, very handy. Thanks!

Glad I watched this!

[@shadowsinr]

Iai spirit slash can chain into helm breaker almost immediately just like how for switchaxe the heavenward flurry can chain into discharge. So it would be really damaging if you manage to use the iai spirit slash to counter a monster's attack and immediately follow up with helm breaker since you'll still have red bar if you successfully counter with the iai spirit slash

[@aimliard2276]

[@codysykes5568]

Quick disclaimer though, if you're going to be spending more time using Iaido rather than YOLOhelm splitter, you WILL want at least 2 slots in Quick Sheathe because it speeds the sheathing animation for draw attacks, too.

[@garettmason7103]

Thank you for explaining the nerf. I thought the timing was nerfed to the point I couldn't do it constantly. Thanks for saving my sanity!

[@JesusRodriguez-ew3tm]

Great to see u getting back into making guides. Ur mhw guides really helped a newcomer to the series get by with the best combos. Gj

[@crowsenpai5625]

A tip with the new slider shot Possible during the spirit combo, it too can be used to reorient yourself using The movement stick, so if mid combo the monster darts to your left side to where you aren’t hitting it anymore, you can slinger burst to the left and continue the combo facing the monster again.

[@guerothepail3526]

I didnt realize the nerf to forsight slash. I thought i was timing it wrong or the window had shrank.

[@dogo523]

BOY! As a dual blades main i cannot imagine How It would be to have a new attack that would actually change original gameplay in the slightest.

[@panoctic]

appreciate the info i didnt even notice but now, i will try to make my gameplay a bit more cautious with the gauge thx.

[@darkfu11]

Sooo all of the longswords moves not only look cool but have a use and practicality to them. This is soo frikking cool. Looks like as long as you pick and choose careful times to use helm breaker you can pretty much just stay on the offensive and react to the monster mid combo since you can now sheath cancel the spirit roundhouse. Obviously you still gotta be wary and cautious but this new “free flow” seems too good. Love it!

[@Terminarch]

I know I'm late here, but Iai Spirit Slash can be followed up by Helmbreaker. If you hit that sheath counter and manage to pull off helm it's hella good.

[@tjorgy7854]

Terminarch I was about to comment the same thing. I would say that’s the big daddy combo. If you do that then you’re golden.

[@TheUltimateBlooper]

I came here because I've been playing oldschool style (simple attacks + spirit slashes) all the way to G2 (the "master rank" 2 as it's been renamed) and figured I should probably learn some better combos at some point to speed things up a bit xD That sheathe attack reminds me a bit of the Valor style counter from MHGU and is a game changer, since I no longer have such a massive pause after the final spirit slash, which is cool, and also seems to be a bit OP in terms of leveling up the spirit gauge to red, as the gauge just keeps filling up while you do the spirit combos. I had to adapt the controls to my PC equivalent, but it's easy to understand anyway, so thanks for the vid! :)

[@papertonklol4865]

You should mention that you can change direction in way you want during a helmbreaker by choosing a direction and press Y/triangle. You can easily do a full 180° or more

The Iai slash is also useful for getting more damage in small windows. Sometimes I’m able to pull off a helmbreaker, spirit combo and barely iai slash at the end of a knockdown.

[@cheeszy4696]

Im a Long Sword main in the previous Monster Hunter Games, but the fact is theres a new combo om the newer games looks like fun to play with

[@shadowzero3983]

Worth noting too is a R2 Input after a fade slash performs a jumping spirit slash, this is great because the fade slash skips the first hit of the spirit combo, offers you more positioning options in addition to building meter. Definitely my go to combo since you can also incorporate a triangle attack as well es a slinger Burst into the combo, also the fist overhead spirit slash is slow and waists meter. Do you're fade slashes people make some room for your teammate's focus on the Tail

[@shadowzero3983]

You can also forsight-cancel into sheth, just like the helmbraker. Id be interesting to See how much quick sheth is gonna Speed up the move

[@PWARGaming]

it's better to foresight into roundslash into sheath tho for the gauge refresh, although i guess if the monster was gonna do two quick attacks you could foresight into iai for double counter, but likely requires quick sheath lv3 to make it consistent.

[@Vylxrax]

[@Mjolvunheim]

Thanks man, was wondering what happened to the dodge but I guess I just haven't had enough gauge to do it when I want to.

[@hiphopsamurai7950]

Im sorta new player, how did u use the flash on the monster without sheathing your weapon? is it an iceborne thing ? cuz i didnt buy it yet. But i am aware that they introduced new fighting mechanics for weapons

[@FoxInvictus]

Great Work!

[@knightslayer6161]

What I’ve noticed is that foresight can dodge any attack even if it’s on top of you. However when too close to the barrel it is impossible with the ial slash/ial draw counters. Foresight doesn’t care about any attack as long as we have gauge. The ial counter requires a bit of setup. Not too bad.

[@PWARGaming]

Actually I think i've countered with the iai right on the barrel beneath, touching my feet practically. i couldn't get the timing when I was further way from the barrel. It's still basically a glorified greatsword tackle of sorts, but gonna be good for the pros. they probably didn't like how foresight was so easy to pull off so they played it safe and made iai counters stricter. I heard the timings of foresight was also nerfed but it seemed fine to me

[@knightslayer6161]

PWARGaming people thought it was nerf before they figured it was gauge we needed. When I have gauge it feels the same. And whenever I try to use ial counter on top of the barrel it’s just impossible. By like 3 steps or 4 away and I have no problem.

[@firabanana6525]

@@PWARGaming hey, love the video. I have heard japanese streamers commenting about how the Iai spirit slash counter window becomes longer the higher your spirit level is, could you test it so that we can find out?

[@PWARGaming]

@@firabanana6525 I'm gonna say false, i noticed no difference between gauges with either variation, timing felt strict regardless of color. And, like helm breaker, you likely wouldn't use iai spirit slash other than in red, as you're better off doing normal spirit slash into foresight slash instead to counter an attack to upgrade your gauge to red, rather than than merely ignoring an attack from stunning you with iai counter. It's purpose is very niche. if it ignored dmg or upgraded gauge upon perfect counter it would be a different story, but it doesn't, so it's just an extra dmg swing, or a way trickier to do greatsword tackle.

NGL, I've been sticking to Foresight Slash as my counter, solely because the Iai Spirit Slash's timing is just too strict, and the penalties are too high if you don't make it. I'm going to keep practicing it, but as of now, it's just not worth the risk for me to bother with in most fights.
