SnS in World : Sword and Sword
SnS in Rise : Shield and Sword
I mean you're not wrong lol. :)
Well shield was the stronger combo in world.
I knew I was gonna get 10 outta 10 SnS tips but I was not expecting the 20 outta 10 voice. o o f
Lol... Thanks :D
Lmao yes
not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend recently xD
@Casey Reid Yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
Make that a 100 out of 10 for me. That voice is enough to melt all the butter on my fridge.
Thank you for being concise and to the point. Too many tutorials are long winded
Yup, I know exactly who you mean! Sometimes it be like that. I just go by what I'd like to watch and that's a comprehensive guide. Nothing too in-depth, just give me a proper and brief explanation.
Exactly!! I dont want a phd on the weapon just enough to get me started!!
I just love having a sword and I love having a shield. It's the weapon that makes you feel powerful when the monster falls right in front of you.
Thanks for the guide Phil! Been loving your SnS only and speed run videos. They have been really useful for my SnS journey in Rise.
Dude I love to hear that
I imagine this is what all SnS mains sounds like.
They wish! ;) Jk
They had no idea that SnS mains are the sexiest ones in the MH universe
Elemental SnS with the new drill slash is super fun and satisfying to use. Sharpness depletes too quick but I can live with that as long as I have speed sharpening 3. I still like the way SnS played in MHGU more though, specifically oils. I just revisited that game and man oh man is chaos oil and shoryuken so satisfying to use.
For casual gameplay it doesn't matter that much, go out there and have fun!
This was really helpful! I just started maining SnS like 3 days ago and I feel like I need to learn more from other veteran SnS players. Thanks for the video!
You're welcome, glad it helped you out!
Wonderful guide thank you! Great choice of music too, Dark Cloud is such an underappreciated classic
It truly is, glad some people appreciate it
I was just going to comment about this! Dark Cloud is absolutely unappreciated but nice to know there’s a fanbase out there 🙏🏼 I loved DC2 as well
The first video I saw on your channel was the MH World guide for SnS. I instantly loved the content because of your explanation (and your voice is so soothing) and subbed. As soon as MH Rise was announced, I was like "Oh hell ya, can't wait for Dr. Phil's video!"
Then I hope I'll see a similar comment for the next MH game as well ;)
I've been loving just shield bashing things vs the other combos tbh.
A true Unga Bunga believer
me too lol
Massive props for the guide, and for the Dark Cloud music, I felt all the nostalgia with Makataki Village XD
Completely understandable! It has awesome music :)
I never understood how this dude doesn't have more subs. Always a pleasure to watch. Great video! Look forward to the sns content 🤙🏻
Dude, much appreciated
What a perfect and succinct guide. Thank you
Thank you for this video, i thought about trying SnS in Rise since i never played it in any MH before and it looks very cool in Rise
LET'S GO, welcome to the SnS gang
The perfect guide I was looking for, thanks!
You're welcome :)
Im a newbie. Managed to do the 2 star Great Izuchi quest in 3 mins 13 and took no damage. This guide is great!
Hey, amazing guide. I just picked up sns (7 quests) my best time against magnamalo was 12min and I just did 7min after watching your guide !
Good job, dude! That's an amazing improvement :)
This is amazing. I was unsure of what weapon to try next. Now I'm sold.
Welcome to the sns gang my friend
Firstly thank you for making this great video! Secondly for the whole video I was imagining playing dark cloud 2 or as I remember it dark chronicle. I couldn't pinpoint the music to the game but the atmosphere was completely same! Then I noticed you were using music from the first game :D Again thanks for not only giving me more info about one of the most enjoyable weapons of monhun but for also giving me such good vibes from the music :)
I'm glad I could deliver you both useful information and a nice touch of nostalgia!
I was waiting for this! I'll watch all the ads for this goodness.
I didn't even put three ads in on purpose, it automatically did that. :| I couldn't select any options, my apologies for the triple ads. I usually only have one ad roll and in my livestream uploads I disable them entirely.
Finally ive been waiting for this. Thank you
Love to hear that!
Thank you for this video. You really help hype up the Shield and Sword. Wish people would use it more while we pray for shield oils!
Thank you for the kind words! You really help hype up my day
Aw man, I've been lookin everywhere for a sns build and no one has made a video. Really looking forward to seeing one from you
For now you can take the builds I show at the end of a run! :)
Wonderful guide, kinda sad unga bunga seems so much better than elemental, but it's very fun nonetheless.
Also super happy to hear that Dark Cloud OST, got some bangers there
Darkcloud = good, SnS = good, you name it ;) thanks!
After watching your videos I've let the Unga Bunga guide me. Thank you
That's the spirit :)
And here I thought I followed enough MH content creators. Between this and the Magnamalo speed run great stuff.
Thanks man and thanks for the sub!
Thanks for the video! Super helpful! I’d also love to see a build guide. That could be super helpful for us as well.
We'll see ;) tyvm for the love!
I've not played SnS since maining it in MHGen (BRING BACK OILS! ;-;) but I have to say, holy hell once this weapon clicks, it feels like you're flying. Leaping to catch up to the monster with falling shadow and countering with metsu at the right moment feels soooo good. Good lord I missed this weapon. Really helpful guide, can't wait to try that bomb trick for downed monsters!
Glad you like it my man!
U might already know this but if u look at the trailer theres a slight showcase of new sns skill. Might be the oil u were talking about
5:26 "And with a tiny delay". All I had to hear to go rom rarely proccing counter off a bomb to consistently getting it. Thank you very much.
you know you have chosen the right weapon for yourself -even if you doubt yourself and watch several guides- people agree to your thoughts. thanks for the reassurance mister honeyvoice.
Master Honeyvoice is a first lmao
I don't know why I never thought to use a bomb to get the powered up shoryuken. Thanks for the info!
Another wonderful fluid SnS guide with plenty of explanation. You’ve earned my sub good sir 😁 Builds next?
Perhaps perhaps! Tyvm for the kind words
Exquisitely articulated guide, very well put together sir. Definitely earned a sub there from myself.
Extremely glad to hear that as I'm not a native speaker
@@Dr_Philliam Better articulated as a non native speaker than 99% of other native speaker content uploaders makes it even that much more impressive. Nice :]
I think the Guard Slash is worth looking more into:
- It can be combo'ed from most moves
- You won't have to go out of position to avoid damage as you would have with rolls and backsteps
- The followup Perfect Slash can come out faster as you can skip the Leaping Slash altogether
- The followup doesn't only go straight up and doesn't use up wirebugs like Metsu Shoryugeki
- There's no knockback if you happen to block something that can be countered
- You can proc with Offensive Guard with it
- If you happen to miss the timing, you would still end up in a Guard stance, so you're still relatively safe as long as it isn't an unblockable, or a multi-hit attack, or an attack that hits your flanks
- You can play even more aggressively
Ok so me not knowing the sns meta I built a set for this style, and it was iffy but still strong as hell. Then I looked up your solo videos set and looked and tried to rearrange my set to it. Then I looked at Anjanath Coil S and thought well how did he get so many skills on this set when Rathalos is easier to make. Well, that's when lvl 2 deco slots hit my mind and I struck a pog champ face as I realised the true glory of that piece of armor. I have every other piece of equipment save maybe a good talisman, so yeah I'm pretty happy. Your style feels so clean and I love it lmao. Needless to say, I've joined the Unga Bunga cult
The Unga Bunga cult accepts you to our ranks!
I've based my playstyle after yours after watching your nargacuga speed run. The shield bash is definitely the way to go atm although I definitely like the drill better so I hope they do better on the sharpness gauge in updates to come. But that counter?? Whoo! That move slaps😂
slapping narga harder than your uncle slapped your stepsister :^) jk
@@Dr_Philliam 😂😂😂 that part
Best guide. Short and informative :)

When the guy who solos a mallow in 5 mins posts a SnS guide, you LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE!
The man! MVP!
Thnx Phil, here’s hoping sharpness management gets better in the future.
I really hope so, too :)
Hope so as well, its shocking, like GL / MH4 DBs level bad, the weapon totally wrecks though.
I'm hyped to see how this videos views will skyrocket with the Steam release
Afraid that won't happen, but appreciate your hopes nontheless
Fiiiiinally we’re getting MH-Rise for PS5, and it’s time to review your guides 🤩🤩
Perfect guide!
Tyvm!
Man, I happened to stumble across this guide after watching Arekkz and Rurikhan. This guide really made me want to pick up SnS and I'm loving. Also liked that you condensed and simplified it. What Equipment Skills should I be going for?
I personally love a guide to be less than 15 minutes! So I try to, as you say it, condense information :) And only the important one. E.g. in this case, the combos I didn't mention are not really worth using consistently, therefore I don't talk about it much.
In terms of skills:
Weakness Exploit > Attack Boost / Crit Boost ( mix of both ) > Critical Eye
And if you get a good Wirebug Whisperer charm, you can use that!
I started playing Monster Hunter about 3 weeks ago during the Demo and thanks to watching your speedruns I've managed to get under 10 minutes on high rank magnamalo with sword and shield. Not impressive in the slightest, but it feels like an accomplishment to me. Now I just need a teacher for all my other weapons haha
It's impressive compared to your other achievements, that matters the most! Congrats
i think its impressive, thats my goal for all weapons..sub 10(kill). i am struggling lol
Great video! Has already massively improved my success with the sword and shield
Was wondering, though, are there any specific skills you'd recommend for the SnS?
Specific ones? Not really, perhaps, once you got a good endgame set rocking, Wirebug Whisperer 3. Aside from that, just Weakness Exploit, Attack Boost, Crit Boost, Crit Eye
Just a pretty quick sharpness tip, most meta sets run speed sharpen 3 due to the level 1 decos so any time you want to sharpen just chuck a flash bomb from the radial menu and you're good
Still eats a lot of time though, which is important if you do take a look at the time spent! And flash bombs can end up being painful
So I'm guessing you're an Sns main? Lets go! I think at least.. Anyway, I myself am an SnS main and don't see a lot of people using it. This will definitely help me get better at using it.
The sns was sooo op in iceborune ot Def feels slightly more tame atm but I love the buffs to the shield aspect of it
World's sns was a solid 11/10 rise's was a 8/10 for me until I got used to the changes and I got the shorugeki and now it's back to being an 11/10
Started playing SnS mostly because of you, no other weapon feels as good. In my opinion, at least. Obviously.
That dark cloud music though!!!
I'm actually playing elemental sns builds. It's probably less efficient than raw damage playstyle (sharpness issue, lack of stun and exhaust openings, lower damage?) but it's fun and I'm glad I have a reason to wear Utsushi's mask which looks badass. :)
Windmill actually has lower multiplier for elemental (0.7) and status (0.5) damage but it's still a great skill and I prefer using it over Metsu Shoryugaki mainly for lower cooldown.
It's actually quite easy to build decent mixed set with +7 Critical Eye, +7 Attack Boost, +5 Elemental Boost, +3 Razor Sharp, +1 Critical Element and 1-3 free lv1 sockets.
Anyway pulling off Plunging Thrust > Drill Slash > Spinning Reaper > Windmill is very satisfying combo to land. :)
Go enjoy that build, you're at least aware that it's not 100% optimal. As long as you're aware, nobody can give you shit. It's just that when other TH-camrs hint at it being the best and you truly believing it's the best when problems start to occur :)!
@@Dr_Philliam Still it would be nice if elemental sns playstyle would have at least some advantages over raw damage playstyle...
Amazing guide :) just picked up sns and it’s amazing, what layered jacket is that btw?
Tyvm!
Short and choke full of good advice. Awesome tutorial vid! I drop SnS after trying to use it like normal but I now see the ways of the shield bash
Yoo, Dark Cloud. One of my favorite games c:
One of my beloved child hood games :]
Didn't know that Falling Shadow had I-frames. Have a like, sir.
tyvm man!
excellent music choice
That's why I chose it :p
Just started learning to use SnS, your guide had help me well and short. However, I have issue performing perfect rush. For many weird reason, I always kind of not able to pull it off and may I know how do you perform Shoryugeki without getting hit? I tried a few times and kind of always get hit as I get launch to the air.
It is a really hard to master weapon for me compare to many other weapon that I try, maybe is just me who is a bit too not good with the weapon
Very nice and concise guide, thanks sir :)
Just to be sure, u dont recommend using falling bash after backhop nor as a perfect rush finisher ?
As a PR finisher it's good, the backhop falling bash itself is horrible
@@Dr_Philliam and for longer openings u seem to prefer spinning Reaper then PR again over falling bash
The UNGA BUNGA will take us to new heights!
Wasn't expecting a tutorial from you. It was a surprise to be sure, but a very very welcome one =)
Btw shouldn't the new tier of rampage sns be viable with the drilltusk? With sharpness III as a rampage skill it has a tons of blue sharpness and with masters touch you could spam it.
Hey man, I did the same thing for Iceborne and I did it again this time around! :)
The rampage SnS is pretty bad, if you want to use MT with drill slash, the Nargacuga, Rathian and Ninja SnS are the best ones to go for. Additionally you could also use protective polish.
Thank you for your wisdom Phil sensei
Amazing video as always bro!
I have a question tho, what skills should i aim for ?
Weakness exploit > mix of attack boost / crit boost > crit eye :)
@@Dr_Philliam nice ! Thanks for the answer !
As an SnS veteran of MH Trii and world who beat completely both those games with nothing other than this weapon, I would like to offer my greatest thanks for this straight forward, easy to digest guide.
I just acquired Rise, see you in the field and good hunting!
Thanks man! I always like to be straight forward, don't want to waste anybody's time :). Glad you liked that!
I believe in SnS SUPREMACY!!! ✊✊✊
Now I know the things to be pro in SnS next is how to be likely Dr.Phil ,^_^
Sooooon man
Phil guide FeelsGoodMan
5:30
Barrel bomb build incoming
I had no idea you are a Dragonborn cause you mastered the Voice.
Undoubtedly genius
nice
Thanks, my man Jannik!
Dark Cloud music right ? I love that videogames!
You have good taste!
So I'm a SnS noob this guide was very helpful thank you. It was very easy to pick up, managed to kill Kushala my first try with princess rapier. I was very passive though and want to become more aggressive with it.
Two questions: can you achieve a perfect guard with the shield guard and what happens if you do?
When guarding and you press a, your character does a side swipe with their sword and a blue...mist thing comes out of the shield.
Is this elemental damage or something?
Thank you for watching and commenting my man, glad it helped.
For the first question: What do you mean by the perfect guard?
2nd: It's a guard point. If you guard at the right time with it, you can chain it into the Perfect Rush. The issue, why this is never used, is because the block is so weak that 90% of all attacks will have too much knockback for the guard to work without skill investment. Which isn't worth it for such a casual interaction.
@@Dr_Philliam Thanks for making the guide for us and for responding! I see what you're saying about the guard point being too weak. As for the perfect guard iirc there is a skill in the game that activates if you guard at the right time, i'm assuming right after an attack occurs. I forget what the skill is called I would have to log in to my game and look for it
The shield and sword chad voice
it makes me sad that the old X > X> X> A > A combo isnt too viable anymore, but using the shield moves has been a fun change!
The thing is, it hasn't been that amazing in a long time. In most games, since the A combos have been introduced, you've been using them more than the X ones.
Do you mind if you could maybe make a build guide for SnS I’m a little lost when it comes to making one
At the end of my runs you can see my builds that I used (until I uploaded a video talking about them).
Whenever I try to do perfect rush it just does the rising slash thing instead, the time window feels so tiny
Hey I just got into this game playing on xbox I can't figure how to do the drill slash combo I keep doing the sheild bash combo instead. What imput are you using that changes the combo?
Thanks for the guide!
What armor set are you using for the nargacuga sns?
You can see the sets I use at the end of my runs I've posted. :) If you're too lazy to check it out, just say it and I'll text them in here! *evil laugh*
@@Dr_Philliam Lol, that was good to know! I checked out the magnamalo run, I found out the skills and it also inspired me to play more with the shield moves :P
@@vunter9301 hope you'll have fun!
Do you think the Nargacuga sword or the Bishaten sword is better overall for a raw build? First time MH player, so not sure if affinity > straight up numbers.
Definitely Nargacuga. Bishaten needs handicraft for white sharpness :)
Very nice high-level tutorial, would love to see some ele sns runs perhaps that make use of the drill combo soon. It's still not nearly as fun as shield and sword though!
There will be a few, especially once we get different gear :)
I really hope they don't patch that shield bash meta it's so much fun!
Lol they won't patch it out, it's not even borderline OP. It's not the strongest option either, there's gonna be different metas at some point 100%.
THANK
Do you think protective polish would be a better choice over razor sharp as of the current moment for sharpness management or is protective polish not worth using without speed sharpening?
You are typically spamming the shield combo. Personally i don't run any sharpness managing skills.
Protective Polish became a 3 point skill instead of 1 point and there's only one armor piece that offers a single point and nothing else. So you'd need a very specific charm for it to get to PP3. And you'd lose a lot of efficiency just to run PP3.
Would you recommend the wirebug skill or the KO skill for this play style?
Wirebug definitely!
What type of armor and decorations do you use for your SnS build?
Check my new build video out for that stuff! :)
yeeeesssss!
Ya man
Can somebody explain how he does the drill slash? I dont get it thank you
Sure, go to your equip box and click on "Switch skills". There you can swap out the Hard Basher Combo for Drill Slash.
So they tried making SnS more versatile by giving it a stronger bonk and some cool moves, but they accidentally made a new weapon, Shield that never loses sharpness? Did I get that right?
Shield doesn't lose sharpness, no. But it never did.
Fun fact: in old MH, even when blocking with a shielded weapon, you'd still lose one point of sharpness!
any sword and shields you recommend building at endgame? I've been a hunting horn main since the 3U but I'm really feeling SnS in this entry.
There's a great post made by a community member called CookBook! imgur.com/a/IoDQYVd
@@Dr_Philliam Thank you!
As someone who plays SNS and Hammer I can finally play both at the same time by just doing Shield Bash combo :D
"WhY nOt BoTh?"
Sir Dr. Phil correct me if i'm wrong but what is the window for the Metsu Shoyruken when ur countering monster roars? It looks like there's a full second or two but I may be wrong.
it's a second, it's not that generous. If even a second.
As I don't have a proper talisman yet, I have a choice between AB7/CB2 and AB5/CN2/Wire Whisperer 3. Which is better?
Sorry for the late reply, check my newest build video out and feel free to ask again on what you should go for!
General Kenobi!
I'm glad you're the first comment
@@Dr_Philliam thanks
Hi fil, I'm picking up sns again peepolove
you back to the good weapon?
How do you unlock that move? 1:57 I already did sns quest from hub and I upgrade my nargacuga sns but still dont have it
You gotta craft a few Sword and Shields and then the dude should speak with you. I unlocked Drill Slash very early on.
it's been a while since phil teach you stuff videos
Kinda got tired of IB :)
I'll wait for that video after next update hopefully we get good stuff from the elder(s)
Also keep the voice style man
You mentioned it a few times but whats the actual issue with elemental builds?
Is it just that they are dealing less damage per hit or is it because of the sharpness management.
What do you define an elemental build? Pure ele builds were never good on SnS, the one I'm referring to is raw focused with some side Ele, which I'll expect to become meta for SnS at some point. Sharpness management is huge as the sharpness drops lower your damage signifcantly.
E.g. from Green to Blue (1.05 -> 1.20) you gain 12,5% damage and from Blue to White (1.20 -> 1.32) you gain 10% damage. Those don't count for ele, elemental has its own sharpness modifier but it's not as big as raw sharpness modifiers.
Raw hybrid builds are definitely stronger in terms of damage, but you have to maintain that damage.
@@Dr_Philliam hybrid since there has never been a pure elemental SnS. And the issue is what I suspect its always been. Keeping yourself at max sharpness.
So if you arent pushing for fastest clear time it actually works out quiet well if you can reach the elemental cap without tanking your Raw and affinity. Shouldnt be too hard though since it takes 2-3 1 slot decos to reach that cap.
Also it depends on how heavily you rely on shield attacks since those dont inflict elemental damage.
There was a point in world where the numbers for elemental damage was so low that it never measured up to Raw builds. This is why I was asking.
Dark cloud!
Dark cloud has seriously amazing ost
So the big bash counter and windmill are the same button how do I do it
You can see the button inputs in the video my dude.
Is this information still relevant or have balance patches dropped? Just got the game on PC on release yesterday.
SnS didn't receive any balance changes at all. Optimal gameplay consists of shield bashing + shoryugeki :). I have a bunch of speedruns to showcase said playstyle
Can't help but feel this is my favorite weapon but that counter costing 2 wire bugs is a little too expensive. I'd never switch if it was 1 bug.
Funryugeki is so fun
Andasong!
