Which, apparently, is exactly what you do with the great sword in Wilds lol

YOU CAN KO WITH THE SHIELD BRO ITS BETTER THAN THE HAMMER BECAUSE YOU CAN ALSO CUT TAILS

SNS lets you stick to the monster like glue, so use that to your advantage. You can also cancel out of 90% of your moves, so if you messed up you can dodge/block.
Shield does blunt damage, so can cause KO and may fare better against some monster parts. I'm also unsure if shield slam can bounce, citation required.
You can also use items with SNS out! Though putting it away is also almost instant.
SNS is a beautiful weapon. As someone who uses both it and GS, you'll either love it or hate it. Only negatives I can think of is poor reach and low damage, but if you stick to the monster your damage can get quite up there.
HAPPY HUNTING!
