Best Longsword build for HR 14?

[prizkilla]

I can't kill the endgame bosses, so I need to buff up to fight these.

Any recommendations?

Its not necessairly the best build, its necessairly what you are doing and what you are having trouble with.

EA Are you having with trouble with kushala's tornados and flying? Bring flash pods,

Are you having trouble with teostra's fire damage? Up your fire resist tto a minimum of 20 and you dont get bnlighted EA.

Are you missing with your counters?
Is it the Tick Damage?


We need a little bit more information.

You need to understand that MH the gear isn't going to get you through. Its skill. So we need to know what it is you are struggling with then we can advise gear that can help plug some of those gaps until you get better.

My advice make sure you are running at least Health Boost 2, Eating at the canteen and that your armor is upgraded to the max at the blacksmith.

Beat Jho and get the Reaver Calamity LS.

A defensive build might help you, try go with health boost 3 and divine protection at least 2. Anything else you could focus on attack. Divine protection is life saver :).

Devil Jho and Divine Slasher (That's probably the wrong name) are the best LS besides the ATKT weapon, which you can't access until HR16. The Divine Slasher longsword is from the Arena in the gathering hall. Just get enough tokens and you're set.

in my second playthrough I did unlock Jho before Nergigante if I remember correctly.
Also, if you really cannot solo them, S.O.S. could be another way to progress, for Teo having fire mantle is really helpful, Vaal nulberry is recommended and as for Kushala flashing it and elderseal weapon could help you.

You are correct. It's HR13 that you can fight him.

For HR 14 .. I expect that u can Solo Nergi . If u are struggling .. make Full Odog set ( But it’s too late at this point I think ) . The set that I listed below are easy to craft and can be used in post game until u have 3 Weakness Exploit and 1 Maximum Might Jewels to slot in Drachen .

Weapon - Supermacy Blade -> Divine Slasher
-Nergi Head Alpha ( Attack Boost deco )
-Teo Chest Beta
-Teo Hand Alpha
-Teo Wrist Alpha
-Nergi Legs Beta
Charm - As u like but aim for handicraft

This gives u
- Weakness Exploit x3
- Maximum Might x3
- Attack Boost x2
- Special Ammo Boost x 2 ( Waste Skill )
- Blast Attack x2 ( Waste Skill )
Most importantly Set bonus - Master Tourch

If u complete the main story , play Witcher DLC , save Pukei and get 1 Attack jewel . You are just unlucky , Capcom gave everyone to free 1 Attack jewel during Astra Festivals . So in these days .. ppl easily got attacks boost lvl 4 with this build

This build is basically Master Tourch with affinity 80% . Well 85% if u have attack boost 4 . And have potential to hit 90% with some critical eyes so u can use this set for fairly long . The goal for this set is to maintain White Sharpness with Master Tourch . That’s what u should do . The only core skill u are missing in this set is “Non Elemental Boost” which is very easy to get so don’t worry .

Alternatively you can use Empress Sword “Styx” with Attack Charm to easily hit 95% Affinity with infinite white sharpness + Blast Attack skill from Teo pieces become useful with this build . But this require u to kill Lunastra and Final boss parts and less raw damage than divine slasher . But Styx is very flexible and u can add Extra Defensive skills like Health Boost lvl 3 for harder post game fights . So divine slasher for more damage , styx for more flexibility and affinity.

I personally don’t like rushing Behemoth gear because u know ? Hunters only interested in Loot are Bad Hunters . Drachen armor produce a lot of bad hunters . So upgrade it ! Augment it and fight Behemoth and replace with Drachen only when u are ready .

In conclusion : it’s all about ppl choices . Above states are just my way of approaching the game for Newbie friends . So if u don’t like this and want early Drachen ? I can help u too .. I can Solo this monster so all u can do is sit in camp 1 and wait for it to finish , then come and grab the loot .

Btw , Handicraft Charm lvl 3 need blue commission ticket . It’s the reward for completing HR 100 quest and the quest only unlocked by completing all optional quests . Rushing HR 100 just for this is not worth . If u are interested, come to me .. I can post the optional quest called White Wind of New World for u . And another hand for Arena Coins .
