do you have the new guide please ?

Big agree, this guide was simple and really easy to understand. Made me hype to make more SnS builds XD

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

If Windmill didn’t cost so much sharpness, then I could see it compete more with metsu shoryugeki. But as of right now, metsu shoryugeki is just better overall.

Perfect polish and windmill sounds like a worthwhile combo for a weapon that hits so frequently - and using shield hits mitigates sharpness usage

I’m from the future I have 1000+ uses of SnS through MHGU and MHR, thank you for helping me discover my best weapon man, I am forever indebted to you king

I’m glad you found this guide helpful!

Thank you! And yeah I didn’t talk about spinning reaper that much. That is an excellent tip!

Thank you!

well in iceborne it was just perfect rush everytime and in world it was back step falling bash spamming

@@kultissim I know :(

Thanks! I'm glad that this video was helpful! In Rise, it is typically better to out-space attacks rather than backstepping through them. That is because the follow up attacks after backstep aren't that good. In situations where positioning out of harms way may be impossible though, you should try to backstep instead. For example, in 6:13, I was caught off guard and I didn't think I had enough time to roll away from the tail slam. Hence, that's why I chose to backstep. You can also backstep through certain attacks just for style points. Try to backstep through Valstrax's divebomb. :)

@@SKY85sr Thanks for the input! I'll keep that in mind!

Thank you! As far as I know, the backstep's s are not affected by evade window, but I don't think it matters anyways because it's already has a lot of s.

ah my b just saw this was before sunbreak lmao

Thank you! That is the Swallow layered armor set, and it is paid DLC. Although I don't think it's available for Xbox/Playstation/Windows yet.

@@SKY85sr might have to get it on Switch as well then. Thanks for the answer!

If this is what you’re looking for give dauntless a shot! It’s p fun and it’s a nice change of pace from MH while being sort of the same thing. All the weapons in that game have something for everyone

Thanks! The two best sword & shields are Rathian and Tigrex. Rampage isn’t too far behind though. You can check out my guide on the Rampage SnS for more details.

I don’d kno

well...only sword look

Keep holding back on the left stick

@@SKY85sr Thank you. I'll try it out.

I’m popping off tbh ngl

@@SKY85sr thoughts on divorce tho?

Divorce? More like dievorce!

@@SKY85sr thanks for taking a stand

That is something i would be interested in hearing as well

I don't know. I need to play the video game It Takes Two to figure out.

@@SKY85sr fraud! You have played the video game It Takes Two, and I am a witness! Stop fencing sitting and pick a side!

Thanks. I don't really play hammer often though, so I don't think I make a video like this one.

@@SKY85sr im thankfull for the sword and shield tips too c:. But if you can refer me towards a similiary made guide for hammer it would be nice.

@@SKY85sr seriously i never knew you could backhop from a roll thats revolutionary!

Sounds like you should give elemental sword and shield a try

Of course you can. You'll just have to convert Switch button controls to Xbox/PS/M&K button controls accordingly.

Which camera setting are you talking about? There are a lot of them.

@@SKY85sr the target Camara

Flash in the night is really only good for dragonheart builds. Other than that, it’s just okay.

The damage increase from green sharpness to blue sharpness is about 14%. From blue to white is about 10%. Dropping a sharpness level means you now do significantly less damage. Sure, you can run away to resharpen and the monster likely can't hurt you, but you aren't hurting the monster either. So sharpening during a fight is dps loss. Why not try to preserve as much sharpness as you can and avoid sharpening altogether?

@@SKY85sr loss of DPS is no issue, as the result is always the same; monster’s gonna die regardless because SnS is so versatile and mobile that you are never at risk of carting if you play with at least a little skill and preparation. Besides, those percentages may look impressive on paper, but SnS deals very little damage per-hit barring select few special cases as to be inconsequential. Your efforts would be put to better use in investing for more utility or more specialised sets... Like, for example, Elemental damage. Raw is simple and effective, but Elemental damage can be more potent at times... Especially since sharpness has little effect on Elemental damage. Spec into Critical Element and you’d be surprised how much damage you can deal with just green sharpness with a weapon like Daora’s SnS. Shit hits very hard.

LOL Critical Element!? Do whatever you want I guess.

@@SKY85sr I consistently hit about 100 damage per swing when I exploit weaknesses with SnS, about 250 with Spinning Reaper, I think I’m doing pretty well with my Crit Element sets. I don’t need to rely on sharpness for damage either, as the damage bonus sharpness provides to elemental damage is so minuscule I can ignore it for the most part (green sharpness gets the job done mostly, of course bouncing becomes an issue, where shield bashing comes in handy for when I can’t reach a soft target in time). Raw is simple and effective, but Elemental damage can break open opportunities where Raw can’t compete. One of the best weapons I find is the Daora SnS, the damage on that thing is deceptively potent if you build it right.

@@SKY85sr Also, with precedent, SnS tends to shit damage when exploiting elemental weaknesses, so I have no idea why you’d find it so laughable. Like, it’s the second fastest weapon type in the game, you can absolutely shred monsters with gaping elemental weaknesses if you prepare correctly, same with Dual Blades. Hell, if you’re feeling spicy you can just roll up with some Blast element, ditch crits altogether and stack Blast Up decos for shits and giggles, and you’d still obliterate monsters in record time.

Not really unfortunately. Just pick whatever you feel like is the strongest and keep adjusting until you get to end game.

I’m using the Absolute Petalace

Thanks!

No one is obligated to play exactly how I suggest in this guide. However, I firmly believe that what I say is at least very close to how to play SnS optimally. Sure, you can be successful with whatever, but if you want an easier time with hunts or faster clear times, then I at least try some of things I say. If not, then I couldn't care less.

Just kidding. I watch this vid at least once a day. It gives me hope in this otherwise dark world.

I guess how we define what is "advanced" is completely different. A "beginner" tutorial to me would be one that simply goes over what the sword and shield can do, whereas my video discusses more on specific aspects of the weapon, how some moves can be utilized, and why you should or should not do certain attacks. I'm not sure what an advanced tutorial would look like in your perspective. If you can make one yourself, then I would definitely watch!
