Monster Hunter Rise Guide: Best Long Sword Builds
KEY POINTS
Long swords with a specific armor skill can also be used to stun monsters
Skills that affect evasion also benefit long sword users more
The Long Sword is a balanced weapon class that rewards players who can keep up their assault. The unique Spirit Gauge mechanic empowers the weapon to do more damage while its distinct moveset allows players to actively dodge and counter monster attacks.
Much like every weapon in “Monster Hunter Rise,” long swords can only reach peak performance when they’re used together with a decent build. Certain armor sets and decoration pieces can provide bonuses that synergize with long swords or simply provide players with the stats they need to make the most out of the weapon.
