Sword and Shield Balance Changes and Fixes (Update 15.0) |

・Fixed a bug causing the Sword & Shield's Jumping Slash to combo into a Rising Slash instead of a Roundslash if performed right after landing. |
This update is mostly aimed at fixing a bug with Jumping Slash. No major changes for the Sword and Shield this time.

・Applying Destroyer Oil now also restores some sharpness (in addition to its current effect). ・Fixed an issue with the timing of chaining a Rising Slash into a Roundslash, where using the button assigned for a Roundslash would mistakenly chain into a Lateral Slash or Shield Attack instead. ・Followers: attack power for follower using the weapon type Sword & Shield has been increased. |
With the buff to Destroyer Oil, we'll be seeing more potential in its damage output thanks to it now being able to restore some sharpness.
A bug has been fixed regarding the chaining of Rising Slash into a Roundslash mistakingly leading into a Lateral Slash or Shield Attack instead. With this fix, we'll be able to see more proper Sword & Shield combos for better damage output and survivability.

The buff on Perfect Rush and Windmill makes the Sword and Shield a powerful weapon after the update. This opens up other possibilities for the Sword and Shield that maybe people would use Windmill more than Metsu Shoryugeki.
They're pushing for more elemental damage too, with increased Elemental Scaling for Perfect Rush introduced in the patch.
Destroyer Oil makes its return from MHGU as a Silkbind Attack for the Sword and Shield in Sunbreak! While active, the oil makes it easier to stagger monsters. Use this opportunity to deal more damage!
This Switch Skill replaces the end of the basic Sword/Shield Combo with a circular slash followed by a thrust. The additional hits make this useful for applying more elemental and status damage.
Not introduced in any trailer, Shield Bash is an additional Silkbind Attack added to the Sunbreak Expansion. A great gap closer tool for all Sword and Shield users, it also deals stun damage after making contact with the monster! If your Guard skill is high enough, you might be able to take on hits when timed right!

The Sword and Shield continues to be the well-rounded weapon we know and love in the Sunbreak expansion. The buff on Perfect Rush gives it the power it needed to go toe-to-toe with monsters. The additions for it is kind of mediocre though, with Destroyer Oil not delivering as much as we expected and many more. Still, it remains to be a viable choice for Hunters that loves to balance offense and defense effectively.
High Elemental damage and number of hits Perfect Rush is powerful Stun with Shield No need to sheathe to use items Guarding with Shield |
Sword and Shield's weapons often have high Elemental damage. Sword and Shield attacks also hit multiple times, allowing them to deal elemental damage and apply status ailments faster.
Perfect Rush, while difficult to execute, has one of the highest DPS rates of any move in the game. Players must execute it with proper timing, and it can take a long time to get used to. In Monster Hunter Rise, players can now perform a Perfect Rush from a Guard Slash, increasing the potential to combo into a Perfect Rush.
Attacks with the Shield, including Charged Slash, count as stun damage and can be used to knock out a monster.
The Sword and Shield is the only weapon that can use items without having to sheathe the weapons. This gives it incredible utility when setting up traps or healing during emergencies.
While it is far from being the best shield in the game, being able to guard against attacks on the fly is incredibly valuable. Not to mention the existence of a Guard Point whenever you Guard Slash.
Easily flinched Short reach |
If you get hit by an ally's attack, you can easily get flinched out of your combos. In Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise), there is a skill called Flinch Free that a lot of hunters utilize as a countermeasure to this problem.
The Sword and Shield has a shorter reach than most weapons, making it difficult to attack parts that are high up (often the head or the tail). Hunters can mitigate this with jumping moves like Metsu Shoryugeki or the Sliding Slash Switch Skill.

Windmill is a Silkbind Attack that attaches your sword to the end of the Ironsilk and whips it around. This attack grants invincibility frames, so using it with good timing will allow you to avoid Monsters' fierce attacks. This uses two Wirebugs and has fast Wirebug recovery. It can also be swapped with Metsu Shoryugeki or Destroyer Oil.

Back from MHGU, this nod to the famous Shoryuken attack from Street Fighter returns as a newly announced Silkbind Attack which can be switched out with the Windmill or Destroyer Oil.
Like its namesake, this attack causes the hunter to jump up and uppercut the target with the Shield. You can also follow it up with a Falling Bash (A, Right Click, Circle, or B) to stun or Plunging Thrust (X + A, Left Click + Right Click, Triangle + Circle, or Y + B) to deal big damage.
The user has a short timeframe to Guard against an attack at the beginning of this attack A successful counter here will cause the damage from Metsu Shoryugeki to increase further. This move uses two Wirebugs and has medium recovery speed.

Destroyer Oil makes its return from MHGU as a Silkbind Attack for the Sword and Shield in Sunbreak! However, it is no longer an item and is now an attack that powers up your ability to stagger monsters. The first part of the attack is a sword thrust that can deal damage, while the second part is quickly applying the oil to the sword.
This Silkbind Attack uses one Wirebug, has medium recovery speed, and can be swapped with Metsu Shoryugeki or Windmill. You'll know the effect is active when your arm glows blue. It lasts for 45 seconds, and you can keep using Destroyer Oil again to extend the duration. As of Version 13, Destroyer Oil also restores 20 sharpness when used.

The strongest potential combo for the Sword and Shield is the Perfect Rush. It's a specific move that can only be combined from a Backstep → Leaping Slash or a Guard Slash, making it tricky to pull off but worth your while.
If you time your inputs correctly, you'll be able to deal significantly more damage with this attack. The timing is usually denoted by a red glow on the weapon so hit either X or A (Switch), Left Click or Right Click (PC), Triangle or Circle (PS), or Y or B (Xbox) to execute Perfect Rush perfectly.
When you choose X (Switch), Left Click (PC), Triangle (PS), or Y (Xbox) as the final input for the Perfect Rush combo, your hunter will jump up then you may end the combo with a Falling Bash (A, Right Click, Circle, or B) to stun or Plunging Thrust (X + A, Left Click + Right Click, Triangle + Circle, or Y + B) to deal big damage.
If you choose to input A, Right Click, Circle, or B, your hunter will just execute a smaller roundslash move called Spinning Reaper. It is mostly used when you don't want to go airborne because of poor positioning.

The Charged Slash also makes a triumphant return together with the Perfect Rush move. After a backstep, the hunter can charge the Sword and Shield to leap high and unleash combos. You can end with a Falling Bash (A or Right Click) to stun or Jumping Slash (X or Left Click) to deal more damage.

This is the bread-and-butter combo for Sword and Shield. Use this when there is not enough of an opening for a Perfect Rush. It is not as powerful, but it is better than waiting. You can also turn the Left Stick (or WASD) to any direction and hit X + A, Left Click + Right Click, Triangle + Circle, or Y + B to change the direction your hunter is facing!

This combo utilizes the Sword and Shield's most powerful move—the Perfect Rush and combines it with the new Plunging Thrust finisher while airborne. Always remember to time the Perfect Rush hits properly for maximum damage (Clue: When red, hit X, Left Click, Trangle, or Y). This combo is great whenever there is an opening to attack the monster so you can time a Perfect Rush properly!

Use the Shield to Stun
Utilize Windmill or Metsu Shoryugeki
Maximize wirebug usage
Execute Perfect Rush... perfectly
Use Guard Slash Guard Point during emergencies
|
We recommend using shield attacks like Shield Bash and Metsu Shoryugeki on the head of the monster to accumulate stun. This will give you a big opening to execute a Perfect Rush.
Windmill and Metsu Shoryugeki both have invincibility frames at the start of their animations. This can be used as an emergency button when you need to nullify an attack.
Wirebugs can easily close the gap between you and a monster, making up for the Sword and Shield's short reach.
As mentioned earlier, the Perfect Rush can dish out a ton of damage when done correctly. So when an opening presents itself, always try to execute it perfectly.
Sword and Shield's guarding ability is not the best, so do not be overly reliant on guarding. However, Sword and Shield now has a Guard Point whenever you execute a Guard Slash. We recommend using this over the default Guard during emergencies. You can even increase the performance of Guarding by investing in Guard or Guard Up armor skills.
Update 3.5 fixed a gameplay bug related to Sword and Shield! Whenever Sword and Shield players perform the Falling Bash attack and then move back while pressing X and A (Left Click and Right Click), they will now correctly perform a Roundslash instead of a Backstep.
Update 3.5: Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection Collaboration, DLC, and Patch Notes
Turning Slash is now gone
Perfect Rush finisher changed
Guard Slash has a Guard Point now
Sword and Shield oils are gone
|
In Iceborne, you could execute a turning slash to change the direction your hunter is facing. This is now gone in Monster Hunter Rise.
The Perfect Rush finisher in Monster Hunter Rise can end with a jumping slash or a simple roundslash. You can follow up the jump attack with Falling Bash (A or Right Click) to stun or Plunging Thrust (X + A or Left Click + Right Click) to deal big damage.
The Guard Slash receives a Guard Point in Monster Hunter Rise that can be useful for emergencies. It can even be used to follow up with a Perfect Rush.
One of the best items to use for the Sword and Shield in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (MHGU) were Sword and Shield oils. All oils are sadly not present in the base Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise), but Destroyer Oil is making a return in Sunbreak.
