(Longsword) About Sakura slash

[Tepes Nightmare]

Soloing Malzeno successfully with longsword and I must say something about this weapon's change, it seems that either Helmbreaker got nerfed or Sakura slash got buffed, with helmbreaker it is not safe and the damage is just not enough to deal with Malzeno, 0 win so far, but 2 tries with spamming Sakura slash, Malzeno dead and it happened at not even those last minutes. Helmbreaker has longer cool down now, and the damage is not that good compared to sakura slash's full 2 hit damage, and a bigger risk to use too. WTH is going on here Capcom? Surely this is not how you guys are suppose to make balanced choice between switch skills, let alone balance between different weapons.

the demo gear doesnt even have QS3 which in rise is a mandatory skill for anyone who wants to be effective with LS to begin with.

Nah, not running quick sheathe with LS and I am plenty effective still. You can play every weapon effectively without any armor skill at all, there are no "mandatory" skills. Meta is only important for speedrunning.

keep telling yourself that then. it doesnt change facts.

I do not use QS3 on my longsword (i just do not like the playstyle with seath and oput at all) and Rise is still one of the easiest MH games i have ever played.

Ofc, no question there, the DPS would be better but it is not in the sligthest a nessasity.

If you do not have the QS3 in this Malzeno fight, then you must get perfectly familiar with each move of him, if by any chance that you misjudged his combo attacks and reacted wrongly by sheathing your blade other than running away, then you will get heavily punished by not having QS3 cause you are locked in sheathing animation when Malzeno hits you, but with QS3, lots of his combos can be countered and he will be the one who gets heavily punished by doing such a combo,especially when you have the circle activated. Yes you can play longsword without QS but you will never get the true power/potential of this weapon,'Why do you refuse to gain power?'

guess the entire argument will become moot on launch :

new counter + sacred seems to be the way to go. thus no more ISS. thus no more QS3 but you might actually want whisperer for quicker counter spam now lol.

sacred replaces ISS and the new counter replaces helmbreaker.

Nothing new here. I just do not like the whole sheathing for atacks is all. I am fine with running around like a bunny and hitting stuff.
My point was about QS or better to say QS3 is a must have and it is not because rise is simply not that hard.

haven't seen someone lying to hisself so much that it hurts like here

I respect your "opinion"

No he's right lmao, meta is only usefull for speedrunning. You can beat every monster with every weapons and no meta skills, it's just going to take more time.
