Just what I was looking for. Straight to the point, good combos to get my teeth into and didn't ramble on for 30 minutes! Thanks for the quality video!
Important note regarding the timing of strongarm stance: While charging the skill only comes out when you RELEASE the left trigger. Using the switch button layout the full order of operations is X(hold) -> ZL(hold) -> point the left thumbstick in the direction you want to face the strongarm -> ZL(release). You must time the incoming attack with releasing the left trigger or you'll just get hit, time it correctly and you'll go into the true charged like the video says. Technically you can move the thumbstick and then quickly tap the trigger to activate it but point is the timing is on the release, not the press. This has been incredibly frustrating to me since sunbreak and I only just today got it because after months of fiddling off and on with it apparently now was the first time I didn't press and hold the trigger for the entire combo. I've watched 10 different videos on the skill and not a single one of them, including this one, mention this vital part of the skill.
A friend was trying to figure out the combo and kept getting hit by the bomb over and over in training, I haven't gotten strongarm stance and couldn't try it myself yet, but seeing this comment makes me so glad I don't have to struggle when I finally get it, thank you friend!
Thank you so much for this guide. I’ve been struggling to figure out how to strongarm stance into true charge for a while. No one had a clear guide like this. Thank you chris.
I thought that the great sword was doing a lot of damage because of the damage buff that it got but turns out that the Armstrong ability made the damage go higher
It's both along with the massive Raw boost of MR weapons (from a max of 240 to 360 Raw along). In total you get like a 2.16x dmg buff compared to base Rise when using AB7
Also in my experience compared to world, you can deal around 1k damage tcs with an average MR build easier, probably because you don't need to tenderize the parts
Been a GS user since Frontier on PSP. It has always been a slow yet calculating weapon that teaches players to be patient and to time things right. But with the introduction of wire bugs, the added mobility has made GS even more fun to use. It's essentially still the same weapon, but with a lot more customizable offensive outputs.
spinning bludgeon charge is what I use when Im out of silkbugs, to not waste time running around just charging the lvl 3 blue...what SBC does is essentially give you no downtime as hammer
It will take a while to get the timing down. I've been a GS main for years and just recently got the strong-arm stance. It's taking a bit go get used to. Haven't played World style GS in a while since Rise had rage slash and adamant slash. That and timing is very important, also keep a close eye on how many wirebugs you have.
@@kuegila2527 oh man yeah you shouldn't have sold it. GS is the most fun it's been in a while, better than valor in GU. I say that and I absolutely loved valor GS, but the new switch skills are just bad ass
as a longsword main since freedom 2 on psp, that got way into charge blade since generations, who wants to change it up and picked up the greatsword...this is worth GOLD thank you for this.
Even if you find timing charge attacks hard, the new combo makes doing a lot of damage easy. I can never remember the name of the wirebug skill, but it's basically a better Lion's Maw. It increases all attack power.
@@TheDalisama I meant the timing of the release of this video xD but thanks for the tips either way lol! I've started building the set now.. wondering which sword to go with. Might just stick with the recommended on the vid
Thanks to this, I've returned to my roots of 3U and am having the most fun I've had in the series. Now if only my bestie could actually bother to make better armor, maybe we could double team like we used to back on the 3DS.
Tried GS in World and Rise but never hits me but in Sunbreak it finally did I even main it now instead of CB or Gunlance. What I use tho instead of charged slash is the new surge slash combo it's just so much fun, rather than going for counters the whole hunt it's just nonstop meaty action plus I still have the counter just in case there's an opportunity in the middle of my combos. GS is so far so amazing to play with!
I was just getting used to surge slash but unlocked strong-arm. I'm much more used to the old style GS, well I was until rage slash and adamant slash. After I get the timing down again I'll be good to go. I've always been a sucker for those well timed massive single hits, its a massive serotonin release when you land one
@@OnAMoonlitPath the last horizontal attack of SSC is actually so good it's kinda op. It gives hyper armor and it seemingly charges the follow-up X input charge slash significantly faster than when you use the 3rd vertical attack of SSC. And it also deals alot of damage and looks hella cool.
I love the agency and variation of the Surge Slash Combo. changing attacks to suit where a monster moved and the lower commitment really helped me get into the weapon. Lance taught me control is worth more than power and this lets me wrap my head around the weapon. Mad respect to the charged slashers that can see 5 seconds into the future and land a TCS on a charging monster.
My problem is that you can't easily tackle out if it to tank an incoming attack, but as far as I'm aware the damage is decent if not better than the standard moveset, the bigger problem is just that strongarm is even stronger so why bother equipping a different base combo that you will almost never use
As a GS main, I'm not much of a fan. Call me old schooled but I prefer the original setup plus strongarm. Surge slash feels too much like Dual Blades (I really hate DB playstyle) where you're overcommitting small hits and then get punished pretty easily due to the lack of tackle, the beloved tackle that's gotten me through so much. Not to mention, I love my big numbers and SSC just makes getting to true charge take so much longer, which is irking. A friend of mine swore up and down it was so good, but by MR 3 he went back to the tried and true, so I think that's how most older mains will go with it versus the newer players who are probably just fine with it as is.
Y’all bring up some good points, but I use both if I’m being honest. I have one switch set for the og style and one for the new surge slash combo. I find that surge is better when you’re dealing with fast monsters or have smaller windows. It’s damage is honestly better than a hammer’s hit and run in my experience, and is easier to deal good damage with since often times the head is difficult to reach. I don’t have strongarm yet though, so that could significantly change my perspective.
I used it until MR4 but felt like I got my ass beat a lot with it since there's no good defensive option while youre in the combo (the final roundslash has hyper armor but no significant damage reduction)
Conceptually and on paper comparing numbers, I like it as long as we don't compare it efficiency-wise with good execution of the TCS focused single hit massive damage playstyle in the video. If you find it difficult to land TCS or even rage slash, this can give you pretty consistent damage. While it sort of brands itself as being a couple of quick slashes, the damage is actually pretty good. Max damage is 2 downward slash followed by an uppercut, which actually comes out to roughly the same damage as the lvl 1 and 2 charged slashes put together. You can trade some of that damage to be more versatile...3 downwards is a bit faster and easier to hit, while the roundhouse hits around you. Crucially, the roundhouse slash can also be made to stop in any direction using left stick, so you can work roundhouses in to keep re-orienting. So it's a versatile moveset. Because you can't access tackle and it takes far too long to access TCS with it, you rely on it's consistent damage to just keep chipping away at the target. Basically, I see it as a better alternative to chop->sheathe/maybe 2nd chop->run gameplay and frankly it makes a lot of sense to give you an option in that direction. Crit draw did not get any better, so if you prefer playing this way, this might be the combo for you. TCS can still be accessed when needed by doing the guarding kick tackle to reach lvl 2 slash, or you can...you know, use the loadout switch. That's what it's for, not just to cancel your TCS recovery lol. And don't get me wrong, I played GS since gen 1 for the precision big deeps gameplay, so I prefer the video's playstyle. That doesn't mean there aren't alternative playstyles that work fine and are fun. Surge is pretty good, if you enjoy it and find a way to work it into your gameplay, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Ehh, did the same shite in MHW (by that I mean I mained GS). Gets boring eventually. MHRise Sunbreak allows more GS fun. Leaping around & what not. Aiming for maxed out damage is not always ideal. For example, I quite often remove some damage & add some comfort instead.
Which weapon are you guys doing next? I'd love to see IG; aerial actually feels decent and with the blanket buff to the kit I don't know what combo is generally best for most situations anymore lol
A couple of small tips. On Switch: The "A" attacks are lower damage, but do stun. "X+A" is great at closing distance. "X" does the most damage from what I've seen. I like "X+A, X+A, X" for distance. "A, A, X" for speed. Keep in mind you don't get the roll into tackle anymore, but you can still guard, kick, tackle, charge. I keep my charge combo on the other scroll and switch when I know there's going to be an opening. Using the suggestion from the video, get out a TCS then change your stance to recover and go into the faster combos.
I am still so bad at preforming this new TCS style. Maybe because I never got comfortable with it before and was the main reason why I frustrated left Iceborn. Will try again, now that I know I can turn.
What are your guys thoughts on the new multi hit combo for gs? Love the vid btw, any tips on positioning with the small barrel bomb so I don't wake up the monster?
Strongarm stance is fun to play and learn if you like solo play, but it’s borderline useless in multiplayer since it’s extremely difficult to get the monster to target you. That’s why every videos about strongarm Stance out there are in solo mode Surge charge slash was designed to be use in multpleplayer so GS users can put out consistent damage, which is more important in MP setting. Personally I don’t like how the new design seperates gs into two modes. Surge charge slash barely feels like greatswprd anymore and instead feels like a new weapon. The problem is the monsters these days move so fast and cover so much distant, you pretty much have to use surge slash when you play with others, or you will be a baggage for your team The whole bomb+counter method feels like a gimmick for me….. it just feels like greatsword becomes less like greatsword with each iteration capcom create……
I'm terrible at countering. I'm currently still just using ACS and Rage Slash to tank through everything and I'm still doing a shit ton of damage. My biggest hit so far was 1600-something, and I'm nowhere near endgame yet. Currently using Gore Magala's GS. Idk, that playstyle just works the best for me, but I will lowkey try practicing this. Especially for waking monsters up or mounting them
You can get a couple hits in before triggering wyvern riding but you can also just turn off wyvern riding on hit in the options menu now. Options>controls>wyvern riding buttons
Its so weird seeing my gamer name in videos. lol Sup Bro I'm really liking GS this time. The fast (non charge) combo is really fun to use and I didn't know about the down thrust into charge that was in rise before when I played around with it.
I feel like everyone talking about this misses the point that you only get a big damage boost if the initial overhead hit hits the monster. Without that you maybe get an extra 5% boost instead of 35
I cant get my guy to charge directions with strongarm using the left analog like you said. While holding Y all I have to do is press Left trigger for strongarm to work?
Have any of you progressed through the game with great sword? Just hit MR4 and it's been extremely frustrating, I barely get any openings for TCS, and tackling through anything demands a potion, if not more because it was one of the dozen different double hits that end up dealing more damage than not tackling at all.
You probably just need more practice, finding openings has a lot to do with knowing attack patterns of the monsters and judging the time and distance you need for your TCS right. All that comes with practice. Maybe you want to try rage slash, not as powerfull as TCS but a bit more versatile imo.
I played the whole thing using only greatsword. Surge slash combo isn't the most optimal thing but it's fun and if you can't find the openings you need, you can a switch skill scroll with it until you learn the monster. It really helped me with rajang because he has less openings than his high rank version
@@guusfraba6221 The answer just ended up being Defense Boost, made trading hits a lot more tolerable. I was used to that skill being bad in previous games and ignored it for too long.
I wonder How, to physically do the 180 degree counter though, using the left hand on R analog? Because right hand holds the charge, right? I love to play switch on handheld mode which kinda hard to do these inputs.
0:50 hey, i cant find Strongarm Stance on my Switch Skills; do i need to unlock it first? I'm trying everything and that wont work; im using keyboard :c
I'm having trouble with the third combo of this video, I'm following the button presses that are shown but my hunter is refusing to use a tackle at all, it just keeps going into a wideslash attack
Dude I cant get the small barrel bomb combo down to save my life. The bomb goes off right before the strongarm stance kicks in. I go flying every time. Got to practice I guess. Thanks for the tutorial
The tackle being sometimes X sometimes Y is pretty confusing at first. I plan to cart a lot to become fluid with this weapon! What monsters do you recommend training against for this weapon? (Just finished the game, I can craft anything from your other video, it is just to start with a simple monster to get used to the controls)
Solod World and Iceborn with insect glave. Tried Greatsword after and didnt regret it, mained it sense Now I've been soloing Rise with Gr8 sword and am very excited for this
First time I do a game I always solo with a weapon of choice: Mh3g - greatsword Mh4u - hunting horn Mhgenerations g - bow Mhwi - swaxe MH rise sunbreak - lance

Using the Great Demon rod on a sleeping Nargacuga, I did 4,077 on a wakeup hit without buffs or power sheath last night, and was rewarded with a mantle in the carves
has anyone found a use for the surge slash combo? it looks cool but god, my first impression of it was that in a practical sense, it was awful in just about every way imaginable
I feel like im crazy but i swear ive seen ppl land a strong arm stance but the monster ends up behind them and they are able to 180 and TCS or something. Anyone know or seen what im talking about?

The whole bomb+counter method feels like a gimmick for me….. it just feels like greatsword becomes less like greatsword with each iteration capcom create……
So, what's the best way to play it in mp?
Why when i press charge button n then while holding LT + Y it become charge slash not strong arm stance immediately???
As a keyboard player i didn't undertand what to press but i'll try the GS out, seems a funny weapon
I like the bo2 theme playing in the background
Would love to see great sword build in MR, I'm sure you guys are working on that already :)
So basically, Strongarm Stance is Guard Pointing for Greatsword mains?

You probably just need more practice, finding openings has a lot to do with knowing attack patterns of the monsters and judging the time and distance you need for your TCS right. All that comes with practice. Maybe you want to try rage slash, not as powerfull as TCS but a bit more versatile imo.
I played the whole thing using only greatsword. Surge slash combo isn't the most optimal thing but it's fun and if you can't find the openings you need, you can a switch skill scroll with it until you learn the monster. It really helped me with rajang because he has less openings than his high rank version
@@guusfraba6221 The answer just ended up being Defense Boost, made trading hits a lot more tolerable. I was used to that skill being bad in previous games and ignored it for too long.
@@Underground_Owl That's what I was going to suggest to you, as it seemed like your defense was too low
I wonder How, to physically do the 180 degree counter though, using the left hand on R analog? Because right hand holds the charge, right? I love to play switch on handheld mode which kinda hard to do these inputs.
nice charge sword guarding gun
0:50 hey, i cant find Strongarm Stance on my Switch Skills; do i need to unlock it first? I'm trying everything and that wont work; im using keyboard :c
Unlocks at MR4
would love to see your opinions/ideas on the new powder vortex kinsect and insect glaive
finally... an answer.. thank you ^_^
4:29のタックルの後の横切り？みたいな技の出し方ってどうやるんですか？
I'm having trouble with the third combo of this video, I'm following the button presses that are shown but my hunter is refusing to use a tackle at all, it just keeps going into a wideslash attack
Thanks for mentioning the new abilities and stuff. Surge Slash Combo is very, VERY powerful
Muchísimas gracias
Dude I cant get the small barrel bomb combo down to save my life. The bomb goes off right before the strongarm stance kicks in. I go flying every time. Got to practice I guess. Thanks for the tutorial
* I got it now! Got to mach that L2 button for it to work
there was an attempt to make this video easy to understand for anyone but i play on keyboard and mouse
Thank you now too master s & s
Wow you're the best dude

Please do one for Swaxe
What GS is that at 00:45 been tryna craft it
give Bow some love
The tackle being sometimes X sometimes Y is pretty confusing at first. I plan to cart a lot to become fluid with this weapon! What monsters do you recommend training against for this weapon? (Just finished the game, I can craft anything from your other video, it is just to start with a simple monster to get used to the controls)
I think rathian or diablos. Both of them have quite slow and predictable attacks. So you can learn to counter or tackle
02:14 it skipped to Bazel's enraged mode in 1hit bruh
01:16 Strongarm to TCS
Keyboard and mouse?
this is so easy to use while solo and nightmare to use in multiplayer, ill just use regular surge combo as I never play solo (except with followers)
I like he uses black ops 2 music :)
I used to use that tackle combo in World/Iceborne
THANK YOU

Solod World and Iceborn with insect glave. Tried Greatsword after and didnt regret it, mained it sense
Now I've been soloing Rise with Gr8 sword and am very excited for this
First time I do a game I always solo with a weapon of choice:
Mh3g - greatsword
Mh4u - hunting horn
Mhgenerations g - bow
Mhwi - swaxe
MH rise sunbreak - lance
@@emrebennett2857 for me it was
Mh4u - Charge Blade and Greatsword
Mhgen/mhgu - Greatsword and insect glaive
Mhw- Hammer, Longsword and Greatsword
Rise - Greatsword and for a little while I used bow quite a lot
I like greatsword lol
@@emrebennett2857 I always main Greatsword but use Charge Blade ocasionally.
1:21 I’m using Teostra del Sol and I tried this out on the Toadversary’s head. 3706 damage!!
Using the Great Demon rod on a sleeping Nargacuga, I did 4,077 on a wakeup hit without buffs or power sheath last night, and was rewarded with a mantle in the carves
has anyone found a use for the surge slash combo?
it looks cool but god, my first impression of it was that in a practical sense, it was awful in just about every way imaginable
Me waiting for insect glave knowing it will be the last
I feel you bro
I feel like im crazy but i swear ive seen ppl land a strong arm stance but the monster ends up behind them and they are able to 180 and TCS or something. Anyone know or seen what im talking about?
Please do a switch axe combo video
anyone know what set of armor / layered equipment he used at training area?
Thanks a lot
BGMがめちゃくちゃ懐かしいわ
I still have no idea how to do a TCS after a strong arm stance
How do you not trigger wyvern riding with your first attack of TCS?
