Long Sword Lai Slash question

[I0ri]

Lai Spirit Slash can iframe and counter a monster's attack. I’d like to know if Lai Slash can do the same. So far, I’ve only been using Lai Slash to fill the gauge.

[I0ri]

any help?

In Iceborne Iai slash had some iframes, not too much tho and it seems to be gone in Rise. I think this is same case for Wilds, no iframes, just gauge boost.

Its not L-ai its i-ai slash. iaidō (居合道)
Second, its not iframe its Super Armor, just like GS`s Shoulder Tackle

Iai slash have some iframe, but less than spirit slash so it's harder to do it right. It also have super armor if you miss timing, but then you won't get any gauge stacks. Take into account that the frames of some attacks are bigger than the iframes from lai, so you'll get some damage and stack for gauge

Ideally, it's best to learn how to use both of them depending on how much time you have before the monster's next attack.

Iai definitely has iframes and I used it to counter a lot of attacks, including mass aoe.

iai Slash and iai Spirit Slash are two different skills.

Oh, my bad then, sorry. I got the names mixed up.
Yes, people above right: iai slash doesn't have iframe, only super armor and buff for spirit gauge (not stack)
