In this video from IGN, they delve into the intricacies of the long sword in Monster Hunter, a weapon that's as flashy as a Lamborghini and as devastating as a hurricane. With its focus on spirit gauge levels - white, yellow, and red - the long sword offers a unique gameplay experience that's both easy to pick up and hard to master. By executing spirit combos, landing counterattacks like the foresight SL counter, and strategically focusing on striking wounds on monsters, players can boost their spirit gauge and unleash powerful attacks in the red gauge state.
The red gauge state is where the long sword truly shines, empowering basic attacks and allowing players to use moves like the spinning Crimson slash and foresight slash to generate spirit. The spirit thrust combo with the spirit Helm breaker is a key tactic for dealing massive damage, while draw attacks with special sheath lead to swift and powerful strikes that enhance the spirit gauge level. IGN emphasizes the importance of mastering the foresight slash and special sheath techniques, as well as the significance of timing and predicting monster movements to maximize the weapon's potential.
By focusing on quicker circle attacks over slower triangle strikes, players can effectively respond to monster movements and capitalize on opportunities to activate foresight slash during key moments like monster roars. Leaving focus strike wounds untouched until needed can provide a strategic advantage by boosting the spirit gauge at critical times. Additionally, being in focus state enhances camera control, allowing players to maintain a clear view of the battlefield and react swiftly to monster behavior. Equipping skills like Focus, power prolonger, and flare can further enhance the long sword build, while selecting the right armor set can provide valuable bonuses tailored to individual playstyles. Mastering the long sword in Monster Hunter requires skill, strategy, and a keen understanding of the weapon's unique mechanics - follow IGN's expert tips to become a true master of the blade.
