Highest Damage Longsword

[Velkhana's Summer]

Has anyone deeply tested longswords and have answers? I found that the Rathalos WB indigo has insane damage potential when decorated properly, more so than any others I have tested. Anyways leave suggestions below :D

[Nerevar]

has been answered endlessly.

taroth fire/divine slasher for raw dmg (non elemental boost deco)

kjarr decay/pickle for raw+ good dragondmg+ elderseal. best for monsters with 2 star+ dragon weakness (except vaal)


1 option for rng and 1 option for crafted each.

the rng variant is slightly stronger (about 2.5% more dmg) but requires peak performance to be active as much as possible. otherwise its worse. requires health aug basically unless youre god tier dodge pro.

Taroth Fire, Jho LS, Kjarr Decay, Divine Slasher. If you like Rathalos LS then that's fine but it's not a contender for most highest dps LS.

Nothing much changed with AT KT besiedes the introduction of Kjarr Sord "Decay"

All the swords listed minus the divine slasher I have no idea how to get LOL. I guess that's why I made this post in the first place afterall. I'll have to try out the divine slasher since I've already been doing arena tokens to get it.

Reaver “Calamity” is from Deviljho
Kjarr "Decay" and Taroth "Fire" are both from Kulve Taroth raid

You get Kjarr Decay and Taroth Fire from completeing the Kulve Taroth Siege. The Jho LS is a regular LS you can craft with Deviljho materials.

I never found out how to start a siege so never got any of that gear yet. I'll try out the deviljo one though too. Thanks guys :)

Kulve taroth isn't available till the 20th at 5PM PDT. You can start it by talking to the quest NPC in the gathering hub when it's open. You can't SOS KT so you'll want to find a session with 8+ players doing it.

Look up guides on youtube for optimal farming. Event schedule below.

dont start the siege. go to online session instead. go to filter search. set the language to any and the tatget to kulve taroth. youll find lobbys for it. join a nearly full lobby and then join a group and fight it till the siege is complete message appears after a run. then claim your rewards.

repeat endlessly due to rng.

breaking the horns is easy as its multiplayer only soloing kulve is not effective by design. the rng is another story.

peak also requires a health augment to properly work. otherwise its down too much (unless youre a god at dodgeing). also keep in mind to make jho/memeslasher aswell.

why? some monsters have huge chip dmg like vaal. peak simply sucks on such fights and without peak both kulve ls are worse than the other 2.

also keep in mind come iceborne jho and slasher will likely see further upgrades. kulve wont.

plus the fact kulve is temporary and it can take 100ths of runs to see one of the 2 ls from kulve due to rng. its worth trying. but unlike the other 2 your efforts on kulve will be wasted come iceborne.

also consider the actual dmg difference between taroth fire and memeslasher is VERY SMALL. fire does about 2.5% more dmg. same for the decay longsword and jho. helmsplitter hits harder on jho than on decay due the elemental penalty.
decay allows for some quality of life decos in exchange.

all 4 ls have advantages and downsides depending on fights. i would get all 4 if possible.

biggest downside is taroth fire is the most bland basic design sword in the whole game. its just a basic iron katana with gold textures^^ for a game like anime hunter this really sucks balls.
