Watching this video just make longsword click for me, thanks. Was practicing while watching and now I am enjoying longsword. Brand new player and have been trying all the weapons
Really nice how you design the video. When I saw that you have already brought so much professionalism to your little channel, I just had to follow you and help your channel grow. Many greetings from Germany
I love how I knew the first and third one intuitively but didn't know you could skip a stage for spirit blade which makes it easier to pull off. Longsword is just so well designed cause of this honestly. It's kinda like how Dual Axes not so subtly tell you to demon form for bursts of mobility and damage while being out of form is for slower moments really great video.
Another step is : Don´t hit the Head if a Horn or Hammer player is in the Hunt. You drop the DPS AND the down-Time of the Monster, when you hit/trip them.
this is not true, they should have flinch free slotted. The head is the best hitzone on the majority of monsters, going for something like the tail often results in ~30% less dps for the people doing so. Sacrificing a single gem slot to slot in flinch free grants is more than worth it to keep team damage at 100%. flinch free is practically mandatory for multiplayer hunts
That May be true in Friends Lobbys. But it is Ego to expect that from randoms. Majority are building full dps. And that Skill is worth in 3-4 monsters. All i Say is, If thay flinch hold distance. And be a Teamplayer

" Expecting randoms to have a skill that is practically mandatory for multiplayer is not "egotistical" it's egotistical to tell other players to hit a part of the monster where they deal ~30% less dps so that they don't have to sacrifice ~5% dps to equip flinch free. "Majority are building full dps. And that Skill is worth in 3-4 monsters. " Sacrificing ONE deco slot does not stop someone from making an effective dps build. For team dps it is WAY more worth it for the players to run flinch free and constantly attack the best hitzone on the monster (usually the head) than it is use that deco slot for a single offensive skill. "All i Say is, If thay flinch hold distance. And be a Teamplayer" I do agree with this, if the randoms couldn't be bothered to equip flinch free, than one should make an effort to not flinch them. But again, in these situations it's their fault, being a team player means changing your build to work with a team better, not demanding that that someone lowers their dps by ~30% so that you don't have to sacrifice ~5%.
@@Star-nl5idGet the hell outta here with that flinch free garbage. LEARN HOW TO POSITION WELL. That dumb skill was never a thing in all the older games, it is nothing more than a crutch for these braindead button mashers to fall back on. Hit the head from an angle where you don't disturb the Hammer/HH or get the hell away from it and hit the next best hitzone. Stupid World problems. Seriously, i love MHW, but it brought some idiotic crap into MH... (Temporal Mantle being the worst)
Can you explain the meme? Is LS hated for being too popular? Or did people just get tripped in multiplayer one time too many? I am just starting out, and suck with everything that's not Shield HBG.
@@Alorandits just that in most situations the LS is quite hard to play but is the most played weapon. That means that 9/10 the player playing it isn’t that good at it and since it has a high skill ceiling well they’re kinda useless. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t incredible Ls mains out there but most of its player base are considered « noobs » and since the weapon looks and sounds cool a lot of new players pick it up and just perma cart with it.
You assume that the average player is able to read every monsters attack and time the foresight slash perfectly, while also entirely dismiss how Focus affects your gauge recovery with a downed/flying monster. I wonder who this video is for because the topics for the basic combo and foresight slash imo have a totally different target group. No one with a few hundred hunts under their belt will use the 4-hit basic combo because it‘s not required with FS, IS & Focus managing the gauge. Saying that people should not run focus for gauge management but at the same time talking about how to build gauge faster with step slash & thrust is weird.
I'll consider making a companion PC LS guide for MHWilds to go along with the controller one. I would need to re-edit buttons and re-record audio lines. If it does well enough, I'll do the same for the other guides I put out.

If the monster dies
I consider it a perfect run with no mistakes 😂

I hope to get this good one day😞
If your Fade Slash hits multiple targets it will fill more of your Spirit Gauge
Insightful

Number 0: playing long sword 😂

Bros mad that Ls does a crap ton of damage and has a counter move 😂

@Lost3mber Don't forget that due to its swing size it often trips people not using Flinch Free.
Seems like this person suffers from "decoration problems".

It's not that focus is completely useless, just that it's not worth it to waste deco slots on it
Yeah don’t run focus on LS. Not worth the deco slot. Especially when iai slash auto fills it and foresight is easy to build gauge.

Apparently another mistake would be to play on PC because You won't find a guide with computer buttons just controller
So plug in a controller…
@@TheChilipepper77 so no...
THIIIIS I tried learning longsword years ago but couldn't find a single guide with keyboard and mouse 😞

@@FulGore317 Just watched a guide that was for all controls... primarily kbm lol. TorpedoSoup
the first mistake longsword users make is not playing hammer. simple as
