How would you rate the Sword and Shield in Monster Hunter Wilds from 1-10? The SnS is such a fun and satisfying weapon in MH Wilds, I hope you had a chance to try it

[@JackJoyYT]

i feel like it does most damage out of all showcases you made no ? maybe easier to hit everything on the small beasts while insecto may do more on big monsters with all the hits idk

[@snowstorm5103]

Feels like they removed a lot of the skill sealing of sns with them making perfect rush useless

[@johnk1448]

I played SnS in World and rise and it’s my go to… but idk in wilds it just feels lackluster after rise… I want a cool move that feels great to land and outside of falling bash it doesn’t feel impactful to me; just no “oooo” Switching back to bow ; I loved the dragon piercer wound break , tracking arrows, and thousand dragons Or trying my hand at CB because it feels good too; been wanting to learn it but I always went back to SNS but in wilds so far it feels good.

[@duskdeadman4333]

No sword oils -100/10

[@Zarviya]

I was honestly hoping for sword oils back every weapon missing that SOMETHING that SPICE honestly kind of sucks THAT is what most people miss solely from rise

[@Cobatsart]

You can actually do a spinning reaper into an empowered charged chop for maximum damage; the lateral slash combo into a spinning reaper, then empowered charged chop was the highest damage combo we managed to find during the demo. You can then hit triangle to do a rising slash after the empowered charged chop and loop the combo all over again. Another super awesome thing with SnS now is you don't have to press guard to do the backhop anymore! While in focus mode, you can just hold back and hit O, no guarding required or awkward angles to consider This version of SnS is already shaping up to be my absolute favorite so far

[@Draethar]

I think I could really end up liking Sword/Shield but it was my worst weapon in the Beta. I didn’t do a good enough job to learn the combos and ended up spamming basic combos waaayyy too much… Also I got punished so much miss timing my back step and where you charge in and launch yourself up. I kept gettting swatted out of the sky which felt really bad. In general it felt pretty survivable though! So much ability to move and dodge. Using potions while your weapons are out is nice too!

[@ryryryot]

Is empowered charged chop loop better than perfect rush against downed monster?

[@izsubs316]

I love SNS and I will use it in every game not only because of the gameplay but the aesthetic of the weapon looks so nice

The only sad part about Wilds SnS is that it didn't get the Metsu counter from Rise. Was so much fun slamming that counter into a monster's face and triggering a KO.

[@Haminator]

@5:50 just wanted to let everyone know a bit of misinformation that you don't need to press triangle+circle after a backstep. You just need to press Triangle to perform leaping slash to go into Perfect Rush

[@chidori0117]

I hope they buff perfect rush again a little since right now full circle combo to spinnin reaper into charged chop is kinda the best dmg you can do in all situaions.

[@daemonsquid3414]

I feel the same. In world, a tier 1 SnS could hit for 50+ dmg on a single perfect rush hit. In wilds it did maybe half of that. I hope they buff it too, since I absolutely love the perfect rush combo.

[@ryean8212]

​@@daemonsquid3414 I understand what you mean, but for now it's best to compare Wilds damage numbers with other Wilds weapons instead of other games, Although I wouldn't complain on a little more damage :)

[@EnviP]

@@daemonsquid3414 Comparing dmg numbers between games makes little sense

[@Vexal50]

@@daemonsquid3414 Perfect Rush was very overtuned in World, to the point it was better to spam the first two parts of it than use your other attacks. I do think Wilds PR should be buffed, but it should have its damage backloaded into the finisher, with the rest left as is.

[@Madchimpz]

I'm sure it's still technically the best DPS but not by that much, so probably still worth it on a downed monster. You just have to make sure all the hits land because its range feels worse now.

[@MonderMatrix]

in the perfect rush you can skip to the spinning reaper and you can get the powered charged chop after, in the triangle cambo you can get the powerd charged chop after the last attack, and after a perfect block youu can gp the spinning reaper to the powered charged chop, and i believe there is something after breaking a wound with a focus attack too .

[@Mo_alta]

I felt like I was reading coding

[@fiannatiger2747]

I am a SnS guy... 500hrs in world with SnS and I hope to double that in Wilds. Thanks for the great video.

[@michaeldeleon8970]

You can use the charged chop after the perfect rush. Look at your video at 5:40 and you will see you can use the charged chop after the perfect rush.

[@Vexal50]

not just after, but you can replace the finisher with it too. Replacing the PR's finisher also gives the enhanced version of the charged chop

[@michaeldeleon8970]

@ well said bro 😎

[@VeldWolf]

Charged Chop is also an alternative finisher for Perfect Rush, just holding Triangle and Circle during the final flash will do the attack.

[@TheTraveler980]

Sword and Shield is primary. Light Bowgun is secondary. No fancy stuff... just efficient, quick, and mobile!

[@ZMcKowen]

I’m pretty sure you also get the empowered Charged Chop if you use it after a Spinning Reaper. So you can use it after the ▲ combo too if you have a big enough opening!

[@Sadeyr]

My greatest hope for SnS in Wilds is that it has the same build variety has World. It was the only weapon with competitive meta builds across nearly every type, from elements, to raw, status, etc. I love the build variety.

[@Rain1]

Sword and shield is so versatile it's kind of insane. Only thing is, it's kind of weak in wilds. I think it sits in the bottom three weakest. Hopefully they buff it

[@caiqueportolira]

What are the three weakest in your opinion? The strongest is the longsword, probably, right?

[@Rain1]

@caiqueportolira it's been a while since the open beta but your best bet is to look at some of the speedrun leaderboards and see whatever weapons sit at the bottom. Those would be the weakest in terms of DPS

[@ryean8212]

I've been a loyal Sword and Shield hunter for years now, but Bow stole the spotlight for me this time, I'll be sure to keep it on my Seikret bag for when the time comes, tho. I'll never leave my baby behind.

[@5-Volt]

Both have been my mains in Gen X, World & Rise. Now I can always have both! Perfection. 🙏

[@caiqueportolira]

Why? I started with the bow in MHW but got distracted with other weapons along the way 😂 What brought you back?

[@k4g7]

i heard that perfect rush damage isn't great at the moment, and its better to prioritize charged chop if you want better dps

[@renaldoawes2210]

It is, but its easier to time now. Perfect rush isn't optimal for damage, but we got a new combo to use instead y into y+b into hold y+b. You can just repeat that over and over again constantly. Between that combo and evading slash from block and our ability to mount monsters I think SnS is in a good spot. Not an S tier weapon for strictly damage, but S tier for solid damage + amazing utility. Speaking of utility. That block? I don't know how effective it'll be against other monsters, but dude that block is fucking crazy in the beta. You turned one shot attacks into chip damage with no jewels or upgraded gear. SnS is such an easy weapon to pick up as your secondary weapon, and a valid main, even if a bit boring due to how easy the combos are to pull off. Even perfect rush is literally unmissable.

[@k4g7]

@@renaldoawes2210 duuuddee im glad im not the only one that noticed lol. shield is actually amazing at the moment i had to check my gear to see if any i had any shield skills but no its just like that right out the gate so yea sns is for sure in a great spot despite perfect rush halved damage. and even then thats barely a detriment

[@dxntedxnte1767]

Played SNS for the first time in rise/sunbreak and had a blast!! Played it again when I went back to world and I wasn’t disappointed. Can’t wait for wilds 🤙🏼 This game will consume my lack of free time and I can’t wait!!

[@camgoodkicks]

Man, that charged chop needs just a *little* more flair to it. Like a little gainer or front flip into the plunge because right now it looks and feels weightless despite being a great idea in concept

[@Clone4082]

Charged chop becomes empowered after any ender of a combo the weapon does, so 4 light attacks, 3 heavy attacks, after shield bash combo, AND using it as an ender to Perfect Rush

[@grokashrimp]

Thank you. My main from World. Felt so good to play in the beta.

[@zeusowl2480]

u can do the empowered charged chop at the end of perfect rush combo as well

[@Vexal50]

4:50 Charged Chop is empowered by anything that can be considered a combo finisher; whether it's the 4th triangle, spinning reaper, the shield bash combo finisher, the lateral combo finisher. Interestingly, if you replace the Perfect Rush's combo ender with it, it also gets enhanced.

[@CrossoftheRavens]

Hate to be a downer but, much with SnS is not looking good so far. Perfect rush has been so aggressively nerfed that it is a DPS loss in every situation you could use it over just using the lateral slash combo> spinning reaper> charged chop. The I-frames of the backhop have also been significantly cut. KO damage of the shield has been greatly cut, and apparently in the full version its been already confirmed that shield damage will no longer receive the sharpness modifier, which also means as the game progressed perfect rush will fall off even more in damage compared to other options. The shield bash combo and lack of viable shield attacks also have the side effect of hurting sharpness management more. Its not all bad news though. Movement feels great, and the added mobility with focus mode and the normal slash repositions are good as well as being able to use the back hop directly from focus mode. The focus strike in general is very functional and even works vs partially tenderized parts to accelerate wounds. Perfect guard and the guard changes over all are amazing. The counter slash is actually decent damage for how frequently you can access it from parry chains. Hopefully some of these things are/are being addressed by release. Still had a lot of fun with it though. Its far from unusable. It is just a bit disappointing of what feels like a lot of overcorrections from past strengths.

[@E.G.1005]

To be honest, that sounds like an incredibly balanced weapon that performs above average in any situation and is in the best place its ever been.

[@fishman21-f5b]

@@E.G.1005 it not that good when only way to deal damage is spam charged chop

[@EvernooBE]

@@fishman21-f5b or when relatively complex combo's are inferior to spamming a single two-button attack. I agree that on the mobility, mounting and defense side S&S has seen significant improvements (like all guarding weapons). One thing no-one has talked about yet however is elemental damage : -maybe- S&S will scale better with elemental damage and that's why it felt underwhelming with the RAW damage weapon we had in the beta? Stacking elemental damage with a million cuts just sounds right to me.

[@ChromeRazorPT]

About Charged Chop, you can actually empower it at the end of Perfect Rush as well, just input it instead of the last PR hit.

[@davekaye5483]

The back-step can also be triggered with focus mode so blocking isn't necessary.

I was genuinely suprised at how good SnS felt as soon as I pulled it out and got to testing ot woth focus mode. Swaxe/SnS is gunna be my go to

I really liked how the SNS played in the beta. The main criticism i had was the hit boxes for perfect rush are too small. I'd often be right next to the monster but still missing parts of the combo, especially against doshaguma.

[@5-Volt]

Apparently they made the timing window for perfect rush a bit more forgiving but the hit box smaller. Didn't really notice the window being bigger because for most of us SnS mains, it's muscle memory. 😂

The only thing missing is the metsu shoryuken (dragon uppercut) from rise/sunbreak. The perfect guard counters just don't feel good but if Capcom can add that move...SnS will definitely be up there for most fun to use. Side note, i really love that we got perfect guard for all the shield weapons now (including GreatSword)😆. Feels so good to parry monster attacks😆!

[@k4g7]

that shoryuken counter felt so dam amazing when it connects, dam now i wanna play rise lol

[@1xyooj]

@ lol yep. Everyone keeps hating on Rise/Sunbreak but that MH gave us arguably the BEST and most diverse combat. People just spam the wirebugs moves but never learn how to fully utilize everything else.

[@5-Volt]

I thought they would make it a core SnS move after Rise because it was so cool, useful & all SnS needed was more defensive capabilities. Perfect guard is still nice & Shoryugeki kinda sorta lives on in the wound focus stab shield attack.

[@aivreescend7945]

Shoryugeki is just too cool to left out i agree but i dont know how they justify the jump. But then i remember how high Bow user can jump and yeah just gib SnS Metsu man lol Also make it like Guard+right click with the window super tight for high risk high reward

[@1xyooj]

@@aivreescend7945 lol the new longsword moves are already anime as hell so i don't want to hear any excuses from Capcom😅. And they could just make it after a perfect block press Triangle + Circle (im on playstation). We'll see what they do in the final game. Still SnS looks pretty good so far just need some tweaks.

[@seyerlimar13]

afaik, there is a fourth move you can do after a backstep. its the plunging thrust move as per shown on fightingcowboys channel

[@andreusmaximus5533]

I think you can empower the charged chop after a combo finisher or after spinning reaper. Btw the fact that you dont even mention spinning reaper is a crime xd and the fact that blocking is finaly useful man its my new main

[@nickq8093]

Base rise sns was the best iteration of the weapon. There were 4 different good "styles" of set with a strict bashing set with tigrex sns, a basher set with gapclosers with rathian, a set that bashed as a short combo but did slashes or prush on downs, and elemental and status slash sets. In addition metsu wasn't so absurdly spammed like it would be in IB and there was even a meme guard point set, tho the only relevant monsters it worked against were narg and diablos

[@rutimcgamer2419]

screw the gimmicks, i love the tacticalness with the item usage and versatility being quick moving and tossing bombs makes u feel like a one man unit

[@kef7109]

I love SnS but it felt very weak. I played the best way I could with Y spamming when the monster was attacking other hunters, parrying everything I could and following up with the little "counter" and going for perfect rushes or BBB B+Y followed up by charged chopping if the monster was staggered or on the ground. Everything felt very unrewarding, especially while watching my friend spamming with LBG and constantly wounding. I really hope I'm missing something 😅

[@RawxstarGaming]

I feel like sns’s bread and butter is actually its ability to open wounds and punish them. I also felt like no single move was doing a lot of damage, but I never had to let off the gas with it which feels so cool, just squirreling around the monster the whole time. Your focus strike when not targeting a wound is also amazing at opening new wounds, probably the most viable focus strike in the game for actual normal damage. Hoping there’s little tweaks to up its dmg output and rotation, but the kill times were still somewhat competitive imo

[@RawxstarGaming]

Also, Y combo is basically useless imo, Y’s secret sauce is its ability to reposition you as you deal out damage. Once I started focusing on the B combo in to spinning reaper, and getting stuns off of launches, it really up’d my hunt times

[@kef7109]

@@RawxstarGaming I know. As I said, I've been using it mainly for mobility and reposition. The R1 opens new wounds only when there's already that "white wounds", so you can open it in a couple hits.

[@Dingus2]

I just wish the sword was a little bit longer. It has always felt more like a dagger and boxing glove than a sword and shield

[@silver_n_gold5]

Maybe it’s not for beginners, but it’s definitely a weapon I’d recommend to them. Same with lance and hammer.

[@kuba102b7]

I wonder if I can tank with IT after put shield up and iron wall 5 on armor XD

[@foreveracorgi]

I actually think sword and shield leans more intermediate/advanced. If your definition of a classes' difficulty is how quickly a noobie can go from learning the class to killing monsters, then sure, SnS is a good class for beginners. However, if your definition is a player being able to tap into and effectively draw out the true power of the weapon, then no, SnS is definitely not a beginner friendly class.

As one returning to the series after much years I was surprised on how complex the sword and shield became, truly not beginner friendly. I miss a charging forward attack like the old jumping slash with just one input, it's still there but more steps to execute it's not pratical. I was not able to use item with weapon draw, maybe I was not blocking but that it's not pratical as it was. Also why the sword can't be a little bigger to give a little more range?

[@mikeecho3092]

Perfect Rush is obsolete it doesn't feel impactful like MonHun World.

[@THEnightoX]

Slower than before. Even less range than before. Zero damage across the board. PR got neutered. Sidewalk Slash is worse than Spiral Slash in every conceivable way. Infinite Combo is redundant since both World and Rise had ways to keep the combo going. Charged Chop into Rising Slash was the only way to deal any damage which makes the weapon more one dimensional than Frostcraft SnS in Iceborne Speedruns. It's shocking how weak, unsatisfying and simply just not fun SnS was in the beta, especially after what Gen 4 and 5 did for the weapon.

[@craig8876]

SnS is my "fun" weapon, but it feels like it takes forever to kill a monster compared to longsword, even though I have 10x as many hours with SnS than LS. So it's super nice we can switch out mid-fight in Wilds if it goes too long. ... I miss the beta so much already.

[@5-Volt]

SnS didn't get many huge changes but the few small changes are game changers. Mobility durring regular slashes, perfect guard & charged chop are all awesome! After trying out my favorite weapons in the beta, I don't think I'll ever switch out SnS & Bow. Having both at all times is absolutely perfect.

[@silkwind7618]

Since MH1 SNS is a SUPPORT weapon where you can use items when the weapon out while you still hitting monsters immediately after. But since MH World, it's now a Hard to master weapon due to the new moves and you can use slinger shots with any weapon out and you heal using environmental interactions.

[@DjGameKing]

Ah yes, DarkHero2 spreading the good word of SnS to the people. This is gonna be a good video Edit: since the question was asked about how SnS players feel about the weapon and I am a SnS player... it is probably the best iteration of the weapon to me. While I fell in love with it in World, I'd say World/Iceborne is my least favorite version of it. Rise/Sunbreak is far above it to me and I'm glad that Wilds is mostly building off of that version with Spinning Reaper returning, Roundslash being our main non-Focus Mode turn around move. I'm also of the mind that I really do like SnS more when it isn't trying to be super flashy, so I'm glad that these additions aren't the most flashy things ever. They are practical. The changed triangle/X button combo makes it so that pressing that button 3 times isn't actively trolling anymore, Charged Chop is a big attack to place if you have an opening and Sliding Swipe is great for closing the distance while keeping up damage. They are super appreciated changes for its player base, not big flashy moves to hopefully make it appeal to a wider audience.

[@Zerotrigger77]

Perfect guard really put SnS over the top imo. The versatility of SnS is now unmatched, and it really shines in all departments. Only gripe I got with the Wilds version is I think they missed out on having the World version of P-rush. Would have been nice to have a empowered finisher version of the worlds last hit on P-rush, especially if you landed it on a wound.

i played with every weapon in wilds and SnS was one of the weapons that i thought was a bit overtuned. but unlike say the bow (a weapon that i think needs the window for its perfect dodge cut in half as its way too easy to land) i am happy with SnS being a bit overtuned, its always been an "unsung powerhouse" of the MH games i think it would be an interesting change of pace for it to be a known powerhouse

I’ve been an SnS main since 4U and my first impression in Wilds was how awful it felt, and that didn’t improve much after using it more. I went back and played a little GenU earlier today and it was night and day how much better SnS felt in that game.

[@evilfurion]

Can you please elaborate? I genuinely dont ser how having tons of new moves would feel worse (oils aside).

⁠@@evilfurion​​⁠​⁠​⁠A lot of it is just the speed and impact of the hits. Even just the normal attacks feel really good in GenU. They feel a lot worse in Wilds, like you’re hitting the monster with a wet noodle. Perfect rush has been slowed down and has been nerfed to the point it’s not worth doing, compared to the jumping slash in GenU that feels really really good. That’s already enough, but then you have all the oils and hunter arts like shoryugeki and sword dance on top of that.

I don’t understand this opinion myself, also a very long time SnS user and I feel like Wilds is the best its ever felt.
