Sword n Shield is best it’s ever been in Wilds!!

[Fraktal]

Did I say best? I meant straight up OP…..

Been playing this all weekend, made a meme flayer/burst 5 para SnS. Even on temp gore he just folds.

With perfect guard and sliding slash I have more survivability than even Lance.

Awesome KO potential with just using falling bashes, normal shield bash loop kinda mid.

Plunging thrust and Prush have great status inflictions.

Secret focus strike mechanic of creating wounds that if you use G Ark set bonus you heal when you pop wounds, flayer makes this happen quite often.

Countering from a perfect guard does more dps than anything Lance can do from it, seems backwards ngl.

Anyway if you are getting bored or just want to try a new weapon give SnS a try. I’ll post my build later if anyone is interested.

Agreed, its jaw dropping how good it is, I never stop DPS-ing unless I need to sharpen up and I almost never get hit, because of insane mobility and ability to change attack direction on the whim.

SnS is S-tier weapon now.

[Frostea]

It always has been. You’ve just gone full circle and you’re just now discovering it for yourself.

[Jaevwyn]

yeah some of the new moveset additions since World are amazing, never much vibed with the weapon before wilds but now, damn is it nice!

[Fraktal]

Definitely my new main, was hoping Lance was more “punishing”, hammer is fun but dps seems low.

funnily enough i mained the same too weapons, i actually love the new lance counters and still consider it my main, but SnS is a great contrasting playstyle!

It also has some of the coolest weapon skins throughout the series in general imo

This. Rise literally gave the SnS a SHORYUKEN!

I picked up the weapon a day ago and was trying it over my LS build and damnnnn does this thing shred. Fastest kills I have.

SnS is my main, and Lance is probably my second best weapon in Wilds despite having hunted twice as much with SA as Lance. Both SnS and Lance are just brutally efficient with how they take down monsters with near 100% uptime by turning monster attacks into more damage instead of needing to wait your turn or hope you can time the offset attack

Technically, GU gave SnS the Shoryugeki. Rise copied it like they copied a lot of Hunter Arts.

This is my first Monster Hunter game,

Sword an Shield has been the easiest to get a grip on.
Also I enjoy using the Lance.
Started with the Buster Great Sword and although it was fun it was way slow for a starting weapon getting into the game, probably would do better with it now.

Except Artian shield which bounces around when sheathed. Looks goofy imo

Someone never played generation. There SnS was just straight up broken.

Ill have to test it out, however, I really love my charge blade.

SnS is insanity rn. It's so rewarding especially if you are good with perfect guard, crazy. You do insane damage, you are so acrobatic easy to dodge, perfect guard means you get 0 damage from anything and you can do follow up attack that does insane damage. You can slide attack which has i-frame and really good gap closer. You can even normal block the incoming attacks for like very little damage.

Crazy weapon, clearly the biggest winner in Wilds.
