Special Sheath LS move

[ItsJustDale]

Is it just me struggling to reliably pull off this move, almost half the time i roll or slash instead despite doing the correct combos. Is rise maybe not very well optimised for xbox controllers (thats what im using)?

You using quick sheathe as well? If so, all you need to do is work on your timing.
This is like Valor style from MHGU where you need to know when to strike and when the monster is attacking.
Always have fun doing it to Rajang in MHR

RT + A on Xbox controller to special sheathe. It can ONLY be done after an attack, you can't sheathe from just standing still so that's why you're rolling/slashing

It aint that, i know how the move works, i always try to follow my stab with special if im not mid combo already. But yh. Good chunk of the time i just find myself rolling.

This.... Think of how the special sheathe is like the fade counter- it works the same way (somewhat).

and You just have to get the timing down and I had to get used to applying more pressure to the trigger unlike the switch controller.

Also a tip for LS... Quick Sheath skill is amazing for it in this game - it gets a special animation at level 3 too.

You can't go into special sheathe after every type of attack. If you are rolling instead, it's likely that you tried to do it at a time when you couldn't. For instance, you cannot do it after the special sheathe double attack, you must do another attack (usually the poke) first. You also can't do it after a missed ISS. If you get the counter on ISS but don't land the hit, that's fine, you can still immediately special sheathe.

Some tech but you can also special sheathe during the backstep of foresight slash even after getting the i-frames from it. There's some moves you can double counter that normal would wreck you like narga double tail slam or zinogre double claw slam or zinogre headbutt to tail slam. You can also foresight upon landing from helmsplitter to cancel lag into a counter.

don't forget to time it properly.... if you do special sheath too early, you do nothing
