Long Sword Balance Changes

Update 15.0

Long Sword Balance Changes and Fixes (Update 15.0)
The following adjustments were made to the long sword's Harvest Moon: 1. Increased the radius of the circle that spawns. 2. Removed 'sheathing your weapon' as a condition for canceling the effect. 3. Players will no longer be knocked back when touching the ring. 4. Decreased the cooldown time. 5. Slightly increased the height of the display position for the circle.

This change focuses on making Harvest Moon easier to execute and use. This will surely make the Long Sword more powerful and easier to use!

Long Sword New Sunbreak Attack and Moves

Official Long Sword Preview Video

Silkbind Attack: Harvest Moon

Harvest Moon is a new Silkbind Attack for the Long Sword added in Sunbreak.

An Ironsilk ring is summoned on the field and limits the range where the user can attack. While inside the ring, any move that will use the Spirit Gauge will not deplete the meter, and all counter attacks will have additional hits.

Switch Skill: Sacred Sheathe Combo

Sacred Sheathe Combo is a new Switch Skill for the Long Sword added in Sunbreak.

After an attack, the weapon is slowly sheathed and charged. This is then followed by a slash, with the damage dealt based on the level of the Spirit Gauge.

This move also acts as an automatic counter if the user gets hit with an attack before the move is finished, adding another powerful counter to the Long Sword's kit.

Tempered Spirit Blade

A move not introduced in any trailer. Tempered Spirit Blade is a quick and decisive silkbind counterattack for any monster attacks. When done correctly, the spirit gauge level would go up one level - perfect way to prime your Long Sword to Red really quickly.

How Good Is the Long Sword?

Tier List Ranking

MHRise Ranking	→	Sunbreak Ranking
(S - A - B) 3 Level Tier		(SS - S - A) 3 Level Tier

The Long Sword continues to dominate in Sunbreak despite the massive nerf. It is by far the only weapon to utilize all Switch Skills effectively because they synergize with each other extremely well.

All the additional mechanics and Switch Skills more than makes up for the nerfs, making the Long Sword more effective than ever!

Weapon Tier List

Long Sword Strengths

The Spirit Gauge can be used to execute powerful attacks Your attack power increases as the Spirit Gauge changes color You can counter monster attacks

Use Spirit Gauge For a More Powerful Attack

The Spirit Gauge, indicated by a sword/katana bar next to the sharpness bar, is a mechanic exclusive to the Long Sword that gives certain moves more attack power. It is built up progressively through attack hits.

You can consume Spirit Gauge charges to give more power to your attacks. One of the more powerful Long Sword attacks, the Spirit Helm Breaker, consumes an entire Spirit Gauge Level, so always keep that Spirit Gauge topped up!

Attack Power Increases with the Spirit Gauge Level

The color of the Spirit Gauge changes from white → yellow → red. White has the lowest attack damage bonus, and red provides the most. Generally, the rule of thumb is to keep it red.

Counterattack Abilities

The Long Sword has various counterattack abilities with Foresight Slash and Special Sheathe, both of which returned from Monster Hunter World. With Monster Hunter Rise, a new Silkbind Attack called Serene Pose adds another counterattack move to the Long Sword's arsenal.

Long Sword Weaknesses

Low single-hit damage so Spirit Gauge is important Has no guarding options

Low Single-Hit Damage Without Spirit Levels

The Long Sword's firepower comes from the level of the Spirit Gauge. If you do not change the color of the Spirit Gauge, the Long Sword's attack damage is very low.

No Guarding Options

The Long Sword does not have any guarding capabilities. This is compensated with the capability of counterattacking monsters by executing certain moves, but this requires timing and precision.

Long Sword Silkbind Attacks

Harvest Moon

Switch Controls	＋ zL + A
PC Controls	+ Middle Click + Right Click
PS Controls	+ L2 + Circle
Xbox Controls	+ LT + B

A ring around the user is spawned. As long as the hunter is inside the ring, all attacks that use up the Spirit Gauge will not use the meter. Furthermore, all successful counters will have additional hits.

Going outside the ring depletes your Spirit Gauge and cancels the move.

This move costs two Wirebug charges and has a medium recovery speed.

Soaring Kick

Switch Controls	＋ zL + X
PC Controls	+ Middle Click + Left Click
PS Controls	+ L2 + Triangle
Xbox Controls	+ LT + Y

The Soaring Kick is a Silkbind Attack that lets you jump off a monster upward. By default, your hunter will execute a Plunging Thrust that turns your Spirit Gauge meter blue and gradually fills it.

While airborne, you may also press zR, MB4, R2, or RT to execute the Spirit Helm Breaker! This move deals massive damage but decreases your Long Sword Spirit Level by one. To maximize the damage, do this while in red Spirit Gauge.

Serene Pose

Switch Controls	＋ zL + A
PC Controls	+ Middle Click + Right Click
PS Controls	+ L2 + Circle
Xbox Controls	+ LT + B

Serene Pose is a Silkbind Attack that scatters Wirebugs in front of the hunter and puts them in a counter stance. Any attack received during the counter stance duration will be negated and countered.

You can use this on anything that can damage the hunters, including barrel bombs. It can even be used as a wake-up move against monsters by utilizing barrel bomb explosions.

Silkbind Sakura Slash

Switch Controls	＋ zL + X
PC Controls	+ Middle Click + Left Click
PS Controls	+ L2 + Triangle
Xbox Controls	+ LT + Y

The Silkbind Sakura Slash has the hunter spin around to dash and slice foe. This can be switched out with Soaring Kick.

Not only does the attack inflict multiple hits over time, causing additional damage, but it also grants 1 free Spirit Gauge on landing.

This skill is great for elemental damage builds due to its multiple hits.

Tempered Spirit Blade

Switch Controls	＋ zL + X
PC Controls	+ Middle Click + Left Click
PS Controls	+ L2 + Triangle
Xbox Controls	+ LT + Y

A quick and decisive counterattack for all moves. When done correctly, the spirit gauge level would go up one level. This is the perfect way to prime your Long Sword to Red really quickly.

Switch Skills Guide: How to Use and Unlock

Drawn Double Slash

Switched With
Step Slash
Description
A draw attack that unleashes two attacks in a row. You can absorb attacks while moving forward and combo straight to Spirit Blade II with R or Shift!
Controls
or or or (Draw weapon while sheathed) X, Left Click, Triangle, or Y (Draw weapon while sheathed)

This Switch Skill replaces the draw attack of the Long Sword with a double slash attack. This deals damage twice and also negates an attack at the start of the draw.

This can also combo into Spirit Slash II but not Fade Slash.

Spirit Reckoning Combo

Switched With
Spirit Roundslash Combo
Description
Changes into a Spirit Blade at the third strike. Drives forward using Dividing Slash then finishes with the Spirit Reckoning combo. Difficult to pull off, but has high damage.
Controls
After Spirit Blade II or or or After Spirit Blade II press zR, MB4, R2, or RT

This Switch Skill replaces the Spirit Roundslash that normally ends the Spirit combo.

This also has a move that allows you to input a direction and rush towards that direction before executing the Reckoning combo. This increases your Spirit Gauge by one, like the Roundslash.

Silkbind Sakura Slash

Switched With
Soaring Kick
Description
A whirlwind-like attack, dashing past the target with a Wirebug. Increases the Spirit Gauge by 1. Wirebug Gauge Recovery Speed: Slow Wirebug Cost: 1
Controls
+ zL + X + Middle Click + Left Click + L2 + Triangle + LT + Y

This Silkbind Attack Switch Skill has your hunter dash forward while swinging your sword twice in a circle. This also instantly increases your Spirit Gauge level by 1.

The point where the blades hit will receive lingering damage. This is great for status and elemental builds!

Though this Switch Skill is viable for some, we don't recommend switching it out for Soaring Kick. Soaring Kick is the only way to execute the Spirit Helm Breaker, which is too strong to pass on.

Tempered Spirit Blade

Switched With
Soaring Kick
Description
A decisive maneuver that parries any incoming monster attack with a Spirit Blade. Time it properly to fill your Spirit Gauge and increase the Spirit Level by 1. Wirebug Gauge Recovery Speed: Fast Wirebug Cost: 1
Controls
+ zL + X + Middle Click + Left Click + L2 + Triangle + LT + Y

A quick and decisive counterattack for all moves. When done correctly, the spirit gauge level would go up one level. This is the perfect way to prime your Long Sword to Red really quickly.

Sacred Sheathe Combo

Switched With
Special Sheathe Combo
Description
Slow, methodical sheathe that can be done after an attack. Before finishing the sheathe, Hunters will be impervious to damage then consumes one level of Spirit Gauge. When the sword is fully sheath, Hunters can focus and charge their Long Sword using the Spirit Gauge to let out a flurry of damage.
Controls
+ Hold to perform a Sacred Sheath Focus Use + to reposition while focusing + Hold to perform a Sacred Sheathe Focus + to reposition while focusing. + Hold to perform a Sacred Sheathe Focus + to reposition while focusing. + Hold to perform a Sacred Sheathe Focus + to reposition while focusing.

A variation to the Special Sheathe Combo that utilizes instantaneous countering than waiting on a monster to attack the Hunter.

The Hunter can even finish the sheathing animation to enter the charging state, consuming all spirit gauge charges into a devastating flurry of attacks. Pretty awesome move, to be honest.

Harvest Moon

Switched With
Serene Pose
Description
Casts out an Ironsilk ring that expands out like an arena. Within the ring, your Spirit Gauge will not deplete and performing counters will deal additional hits. Wirebug Gauge Recovery Speed: Fast Wirebug Cost: 2
Controls
+ zL + A + Middle Click + Right Click + L2 + Circle + LT + B

This creates a pseudo-arena that requires you to go toe-to-toe with the monster inside it. Perform coutnerattacks to dish out extra hits and deal increased damage! Careful, you can't get out of the ring so use then when you're confident enough!

Long Sword Attacks and Moves

PC Controls	After Soaring Kick, After Soaring Kick, press MB4
PS Controls	After Soaring Kick, After Soaring Kick, press R2
Xbox Controls	After Soaring Kick, After Soaring Kick, press RT

The Spirit Helm Breaker is a returning move in Monster Hunter Rise. This is generally considered the highest damage skill for the Long Sword. It is also recommended due to its ease of use since it can be executed following a Soaring Kick. Note that this will reduce your Spirit Level by 1 and cannot be used if your Spirit Gauge has no color.

Foresight Slash

Switch Controls	During combo, + During combo, zR + A
PC Controls	During combo, + During combo, MB4 + Right Click
PS Controls	During combo, + During combo, R2 + Circle
Xbox Controls	During combo, + During combo, RT + B

The Foresight Slash also makes a return in Monster Hunter Rise! It's an evasive maneuver that completely depletes your Spirit Gauge but fills it again after connecting the attack. It can be followed up with a Spirit Roundslash to increase your current Spirit Level by 1, but only when you successfully hit the final slash.

Remember, this move is executed in-between combos, and the counter-slash must hit the monster to execute the final Spirit Roundslash.

Special Sheathe

Switch Controls	After an attack, + to execute Iai Slash to execute an Iai Spirit Slash After an attack, zR + B then press X to execute Iai Slash or zR for Iai Spirit Slash
PC Controls	After an attack, + to execute Iai Slash to execute an Iai Spirit Slash After an attack, MB4 + Space then press Left Click to execute Iai Slash or MB4 for Iai Spirit Slash

Xbox Controls	After an attack, + to execute Iai Slash to execute an Iai Spirit Slash After an attack, RT + A then press Y to execute Iai Slash or RT for Iai Spirit Slash

Special Sheathe is a move that sheathes your weapon, as the name suggests, but only after performing an attack.

You can follow this up with X, Left-click, Triangle, or Y to execute an Iai Slash. Press zR, MB4, R2, or RT instead to execute an Iai Spirit Slash.

Iai Slash

Switch Controls	During Special Sheathe, During Special Sheathe, press X
PC Controls	During Special Sheathe, During Special Sheathe, press Left Click
PS Controls	During Special Sheathe, During Special Sheathe, press Triangle
Xbox Controls	During Special Sheathe, During Special Sheathe, press Y

Iai Slash is one of the two possible moves you can perform while using Special Sheathe. It's a quick two-hit combo that can be used to chain your combos and set your Spirit Gauge meter to blue (Spirit Gauge will charge bit-by-bit automatically).

It also doesn't cost any resources to use, so it's going to be your default move to use if you can't properly counter with Iai Spirit Slash.

Iai Spirit Slash

Switch Controls	While in Special Sheathe While in Special Sheathe press zR
PC Controls	While in Special Sheathe, While in Special Sheathe press MB4
PS Controls	While in Special Sheathe While in Special Sheathe press R2
Xbox Controls	While in Special Sheathe While in Special Sheathe press RT

A strong evasive move that raises your Spirit Level by 1 when the counterattack hits successfully. Three additional slashes follow the counterattack. It also has a huge number of invulnerability frames, so it can be used to dodge and counter monster attacks with perfect timing.

What's more, you can follow it up with Spirit Blade III and then a Spirit Roundslash to charge up another Spirit Gauge Level quickly.

This is a great way of increasing your gauge level because successfully executing both the Iai Spirit Slash and the Silkbind Sakura Slash increases your Spirit Gauge level by one (1) each or a total of two (2)!

This combo also has high DPS and can be executed as long as you have Wirebugs.

PC Controls	→ + → → + → → → Right Click → MB4 + Right Click → MB4 → MB4 + Space → MB4 (x3)

Xbox Controls	→ + → → + → → → B → RT + B → RT → RT + A → RT (x3)

This combo utilizes both the Foresight Slash and Iai Spirit Slash and their ability to finish with a Spirit Roundslash after counterattacking.

This is the fastest way to raise your Spirit Level from colorless to red, but it requires precision for counterattacking two consecutive times!

Tips on How to Use the Long Sword

Consider including Quick Sheath in your builds Always maintain a Red Spirit Gauge Increase Damage by Leveling Up the Spirit Gauge Always aim for the Spirit Helm Breaker Always try to Counter

Get a Quick Sheath Build

Quick Sheath works extremely well with the Special Sheath move of the Long Sword. An armor set with Quick Sheath Lv 3 almost doubles the animation speed of sheathing that it just becomes so fast, that it can be spammed for gaining easy Spirit Gauge levels.

Long Sword Builds and Best Armor

Maintain a Red Spirit Gauge

To effectively use the Long Sword, always keep your Spirit Gauge on red. You can see this on the Spirit Gauge meter in the HUD or on the color of the blade. This maximizes the Long Sword's firepower for a more efficient hunt.

Increase Damage by Leveling Up the Spirit Gauge

Long Sword's Spirit Gauge changes color from ''colorless → white → yellow → red'', increasing your attack damage per level. It is strongly recommended to keep this on red at all times.

You can increase your Spirit Gauge by one (1) level using the following moves:

Silkbind Sakura Slash	Foresight Slash
Iai Spirit Slash	Spirit Reckoning Combo
Spirit Roundslash Combo	---

Foresight Slash is Your Friend

In addition to it being a Long Sword counterattack, Foresight Slash is also one of the fastest ways to gain Spirit Levels (together with Special Sheathe). It takes time to master this, but once you do, you are unstoppable!

Aim for the Spirit Helm Breaker

Considered the greatest damage-dealing move of the Long Sword, it would be a shame for you to not use this. This move follows a Soaring Kick and deals tons of damage. Also, make sure to use this when with a Red Spirit Gauge Level to maximize the firepower.

Always Try to Counter

The primary gameplay style for the Long Sword revolves around effective counterattacks. The Foresight Slash, Special Sheathe, and now Serene Pose give the Long Sword more opportunities to counterattack - use them effectively.

Changes from MHW: Iceborne

The bread and butter loop can be executed with just one button X or A (Switch), left-click or right-click (PC), Triangle or Circle (PlayStation), and Y or B (Xbox). Blade Thrust going to Spirit Helm Breaker is now gone. Soaring Kick is the bridge to Helsplitter in MH Rise. Iai Spirit Slash increases the Spirit Gauge Level. It will not decrease if it misses.
