Sword and Shield is so......

[Capybarasan]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it's so much fun. I never knew games could be this fun.

[Poyzo]

Are you having fun!?

[Nihrahk]

SnS is really fun, and it's a shame that people often overlook it because they see it as a beginner weapon. It deserves more respect, because it's just so freaking versatile.

There's a reason SnS is the "Jack of all trades, master of all."

SnS is amazing I agree. Just wished monster wouldn't keel over in 4-6 minutes. Longest was tempered Arkveld who took.... 13 minutes.

You don't have enough time to interact with the weapon or the monster.

You could always use mods that increase their hp, since the monsters are a bit squishy.

increasing hp does not fix anything.
it just makes it more tedious, if you are good enough, you won't be killable to begin with.

They need to improve the AI to make it more aggressive, have less openings, adjust their damage done, disable calling your mount during combat, and so on.

it feels absolutely disgusting, i just forged an artian SnS to try out and i just feel like im cheating like wtf??? the sliding attack with I frames, the speed of the attacks, perfect guard, idk why i was using lance when this is a thing

Quick question here. Is it true that the most dps combo on SnS is just doing normal slashing attack without actual combo? I heard about it somewhere.

I don't disagree, but he said that "you don't have enough time to interact with your weapon or the monster". So I offered an option so that he gets more time to interact with the weapon and the monster.

heres the gameplay guide from the MH wilds discord for SnS

As someone who recently learned and got good with the sword and shield:

It's so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun. If you have Guard, Guard Up, and good defense, you can even block Jin Dahad's OHKO attack and only take a small chunk of chip damage from it. (About 1/5 your health bar).

Plus, when players can't move due to webbing/stun/etc, running up and shielding them until they free themselves- people really appreciate when you do that.

SnS main here; its kind of busted. If you get evade window 3 + use your slide slash...never getting hit again. Its busted. Perfect Rush is still cool but they took power from it so you no longer need to spam it to be good. Get Burst as your skill.

The blocks even without guard/guardUP are so gross. Honestly I'm putting it away for now as tempered hunts only lasting 4-6 minutes unless temp ark + temp gore make me kind of sad. lol.

Bro I don't have guard or guard up and I'm still blocking like a monster. Thanks for that evade tip though, I really should put that on some of my builds lol

Sns has always been a pretty solid weapon but they definitely amped it up this time around, the sheer damage and being able to reposition on every swing is just nuts. There's like no knockback on guards either AND it has power clashes?
