Sword and shield combos

[Rabico ☾⋆✧‎‧]

best sns combos ?

[Koostec]

if you have iceborne then its the Perfect rush combo

if you dont falling shield bash

raw is batter in general even for sns

[DJukor]

Right now asuming the monster is downed or open for atacks the Perfectly timed rush combo deals the most damage. As for comboes you can do preaty much anything you want but sheild bash is prefered for the head.

Depends on the monster.
If the monster is weak agaisnt a specific elemnt the damage of a full elemntal build will be around the same as a full raw+ max critical aye and critical damage build.

Thing is to get the most out of a Raw build you have to invest in 7 critical ayes 3 critical bosts and posibly even more Wekness exploits.
Thats basicly 7 skill points for critical eye which is a lvl 1 deco skill and 6 more lvl 2 deco slots for crit damage and exploit.
Meanwhile elemental damage maxes out at 6 slots at a almost insiginificat damage disadvantage against a full raw ceit build. Meaning you can then slot more diverese skills in to your buld not jsut pure damage.

Considering elemental SnS requires critical element/true critical element, it requires just as much investment if not more than a raw build.

I'm not sure why any MHW build, beyond specific setups like lots of shelling on Gunlance, WOULDN'T be taking Crit Eye and WEX. Regardless of if you do or don't use elemental damage. Getting high affinity is the first thing you do in a build if you want to deal more damage.

Maxing out your elemental attack skill is not equivalent to maxing Affinity at all especially because endgame elemental builds will be packing stuff like Crit Element anyway.

Element is about as useful for Perfect Rush as it is for Hammer, so uh yeah.

(Also, your other shield attacks including Falling Bash deal zero elemental damage.)

By backstep or slinger burst ?

You should be abusing the Perfect Rush attack whenever you can because it melts basically every monster in the game.

It's situational. Usually I do an advancing slash into perfect rush combo, and I get it all off before the monster stands up.
Slinger burst, same thing, but it can be used during long monster animations (roars and powerups come to mind).

I personally like using the falling bash combo still while the monster's moving around. More evasion.

Advance slash > backstep (backward + B if on controller)
