What Is A Draw Attack?

MH Rise - Iai Slash
A draw attack is an attack that unsheathes or draws your weapon. So technically, all weapons have draw attacks! However, only Great Sword and Long Sword have useful moves that come from being directly sheathed. The Great Sword has Charged Slash, while the Long Sword has Drawn Double Slash/Step Slash, Iai Slash (shown above) and Iai Spirit Slash.

When you have Critical Draw equipped, right after performing a draw attack (not during), you will gain an affinity boost for only around 2 seconds.
