Ty for showing the combo, but at least explain how you do mid charge to strongarm, been watching and getting confused, mid charge just double tap L2/ZL
What great swords is that?
I mean, a quicker combo style for Greatsword is something I've always wanted. So even if Surge Slash isn't meta: I probably won't go back lol.
Lmao ya I feel ya im already so used to using surge slash it just feels so much fun to play still use true charge when the monster is down of course love seeing those big meaty numbers.
Yeah people's obsession with meta is weird as fuck if you aren't speed running.
Go for status and or elemental build and try it out, it might be very fun in its own way. You can finally use other gs besides highest raw/affinity
@@KidBowsur in a game of numbers ita just how people are, allot of people obviously want to use what's good simple as that
@@KidBowsur Monster Hunter always has been and most likely always will be a time attack game at its core. Otherwise hunts simply wouldn’t have a timer.
And in literally every TA game every made, there is a meta. Meaning the fastest way to accomplish the ultimate goal (in this case completing the hunt).
You’re version of fun is not better than anyone else’s and a lot of people prefer to play the game under the notion that having a fast clear time is the goal, it’s what they enjoy. Which, let’s be real, everyone who plays MH gets excited when they beat their hunt time record for whatever hunt they are doin.
Josh even acknowledges that if you find it fun, then go ahead, but a guide is meant to give you the most effective method to do something and SS is not the most effective method.
PSA:
Surge Slash combo actually leaves you with a total of at least three options on how to get into your normal charged combo anyway! You do not have to lose the old combo. Adamant Charged Slash takes you into your strong slash, Hunting Edge also takes you into a charged slash, but aerial, and just pressing block, kick and then tackle gets you back into old combos.
Saint
yes but strongarm stance with the surge slash doesnt go into the TCS, just the last hit of the combo which doesnt do the same dmg sadly.
One scroll for meta, one scroll for fun. Honestly a highlight of the skill swap system
Yeah I have one set up for exactly what he said in the vid then another one exactly like he said in the vid but with surge slash combo cus I love surge slash 😭😭
I like the different properties of the surge slash combo
With the uppercut being a good gap closer when used as your first attack
The swipes having KO as the second attack and hyper armor as the third
I love it and it really can put out elemental damage in a way we really couldnt before
Makes you play around the monster more, feels kinda like old school MonHun
Im interested to see the value that charge master brings to elemental GS tho
One thing you missed about Surge Slash: Vortex Slash has a stun effect on it's hits. Vortex ALSO gives you rocksteady/hyper armor and allows you to attack through monster attacks. Just FYI.
From my understanding, only Vortex Slash II has stun effect, and only Vortex Slash III gives hyper armor. Also, Surge Slash gives extra part break damage, I believe.
@@talbotzulia I believe VS II and III both have stuns....I could be wrong but last I checked I thought it did that.
Love the Guts styled greatsword
?
@@goobo9357 From Berserk
@@usamakhanfit I know who Guts is, which Greatsword
@@goobo9357 they royal one, the giant honkin slab of iron with a point. Little more ornate than gut's but u get the idea
@@GirthCheck Yeah I can see it
Is Hunting Edge the most practical? Maybe not.
Is Hunting Edge the most meta? Not by a long shot.
Is it fun as _fuck_ to donk a monster's skull in with what is likely a ~500 pound sword? _Hell yes._
Preach brother, preach
I have heard the Hunting Edge slander from Josh and I can maintain my silence no longer! I won't stand for this!
Surge slash is badass, it’s flashy, and it’s fun. I was afraid of it falling flat though in terms of being meta.
I’m still gonna do my damndest to work out some super off meta poison build using foray and surge slash simply because I can. I just won’t use it in multiplayer lol
Bro that build should be multiplayer exclusive, seeing the meta seeking elitist losers seething in front of an ungodly but servicable build is the best
I love that great sword gets a counter but it has a learning curve. With how fun and flexible surge slash is, I can’t help but shy away from learning to counter.
Tackle is a form of counter. I do not have the new counter yet is it alot harder to pull off?
Strong-arm with surge slash is my go-to due to not having tackle on command
I'll be honest, getting strongarm to work as a playstyle has been the most frustrating experience so far. It seems like all I do is whiff and get hit because a lot of monster moves are either combos or just go beyond your reach.
Be very interested to see this work on every monster, because I'm sure it just doesn't work on stuff like ZInogre, Teostra, Seregios to name a few. Atm I suspect there's a reason why the speedrun attempts are all Garungholm and Astalos lol.
I was able to get it to work pretty effectively on zinogre, havent fought the other two with it yet. You just gotta understand when to use it, and abuse small barrel bombs
As a person that has mained greatsword for a majority of my games and hunts, I've always enjoyed it because of fun more than damage. That being said even with strong-arm stance I don't think im willing to play without surge slash, it's just way too fun/cool even if it does less damage.
you freaking PUNCH your sword into the monster for one of the animations..that alone makes it worth going on a hunt or two with it just for the lulz of it all.
Surge slash pairs very well with adamant. It lets you skip into the charging, for when you want to charge attack. I have my normal strongarm TCS scroll, and a surge slash, adamant charge, rage slash scroll. If i'm fighting something I can't get the timing for, blue scroll time and I can still red scoll for downs.
Same here, exactly same color same setting. Red for strength, Blue for Agility right
Something I noticed on my way to MR4 is that surge slash has a bigger part break value, I found myself breaking monster parts in far less hits than with charges
Yeah everyone can keep strong arm stance, I’ll keep my ability to now do true charge and rage slash while also surge combining monsters while still finishing hunts.
I love the surge slash combos, I get so much enjoyment out of using them
I wasn't sure about it at first but it's slowly warming up to me.
Same, so I'm kinda disappointed, that it doesn't combine with the Stance that well :/
Surge Slash Combo definitely feels like "This is Greatsword for people who don't like to play Greatsword".
A good way for Greatsword to go through monsters combo attacks (like 3 times attacks for exemple) is to get the stun immunity talent (don't know its name since I play in french and thus know it as "Crâne d'acier"). It allows you to tackle trough as many attacks as your health bar allows you to to then land the juicy strongarmed true slash when the monster finally go for a heavier move. It is quite technical since tackle have a very limited mobility but strongarm stance's 360 range help it a lot. And since stun immunity is accessible at full level with only one lvl 4 décoration at the very beginning of master rank it gets really usefull (I used to get stunned every 2 or 3 tackle in base rise with my Valstrax set wich was very infuriating).
I also like to combine it with the "earthquake" immunity, the windblast immunity and a nullification of small attacks flinches to gain in stability
Honestly Surge Slash Combo would be what I use when I start branching out into the other weapons after my playthrough (currently going through it with the Gunlance.) It just looks so much fun and more of how I would personally use a Greatsword
I love surge slash, i played GS for a long time and Surge has been such a blast for me, and with the switching of loadouts on the fly, its kind of like the best of both worlds mid hunt. Carry some barrel bombs, adjust when needed depending on the monster if I'm not so comfortable or am very familiar with the moves. Even though it isn't meta, I'll always have surge slash combo ready for some fun, because whats hunting without the fun.
I love this guide, thank you for all the insight and helping us get better with Strong arm ^^
Focus is still needed in multiplayer because while you may pull off a few Strong armed stances you're not going to be doing them back to back, therefore when the monster's attention is divided normal charging with Focus is still required. Same as Quick Sheathe is still going to make you buff quicker and make your mobility quicker for both evading and getting in on the monster to attack quicker. Even Speed Eating increases attack because the less time you have to wait to heal the quicker you can hit a monster when you see an opening, otherwise you might miss whilst waiting to too long to heal. Anything that increases speed increases DPS output. Speed skills are both luxury and DPS increases.
I feel like I'm doing something wrong with Strongarm. I just got it and used it in two fights against Zinogre where it honestly felt useless because either:
A. He has a combo attack, so I get knocked out before I can charge.
B. The Strongarm doesn't stop him, so while I counter, he runs through, and I can hit nothing.
On a fast target like zinogre you need to look for the few moves he stands still on after. You can hit his head or legs by countering his tail slam and his claw slam. Use small barrel bombs to break tail whenever you knock it over
@@maxramirez6821, after a lot more practice, Strongarm feels good on everything, but MR Zinogre. Him being fast is fine, the problem is because a lot of his hits register as the hit itself and chip damage, you get stunned after two hits.
What worries me is that Strongarm stance might be too strong and centralizing for the weapon, similar to how the pizza cutter was just the better option for charge blade in base rise.
I like how it works initially but I would have preferred that the instant guard be 1 bug and if you chose to do follow-up charge that be another bug so that there are points in the fight where its not charge counter repeat.
It's only too strong for speed runners, like everything. I've been trying to use it all day and i swear I've never used potions and carted as much. it seems awful gainst half the roster. Most monster attacks go sailing past you making you constantly whiff. Other moves have multi hits which kick you on your butt. Other moves can be countered but the monsters moves away too quickly (this is literally Zinogre. He doesn't appear to have any moves that can be strong arm TCSed). Some monsters with good movement mechanics are really easy to exploit with it, like tigrex and espinas. But shit that just zooms around everywhere with multi hits like Teo are a nightmare. The majority of monsters maybe have 1 or 2 attacks that can be countered for a return of damage, but it almost feels like a lottery fishing for them. It doesn't help that the button inputs for it are janky as fuck. You can start a draw charge and the game just refuses to read your attempt to strong arm for like .3 milliseconds
With that said I think the barrel bomb thing is kinda dumb. If they wanna nerf anyway they should make bombs not activate it.
I disagree with pizza cutter being the better option. Despite the phial hitbox issue (which is now fixed in the new update), I still played exclusively SAED playstyle in base Rise. CSS also feels too clunky for my liking imo, despite the new switch skills.
Alternatively: put surge slash one one of your scrolls, and charge slash on the other one. This way you can be meta, and still have something to fall back onto if you feel caught off-guard.
I like the surge combo but sometimes my tackle reflex gets me killed; you lose a couple of your entry points to the tackle you normally have with the charge combo. The backslide feels wonky and as much as I've tried learning it in the training room, I've yet to get consistent movement results. Backslide with guard tackle is really good for pulling yourself back to the monster at least.
Hope surge slash returns in the next, less hyper, MonHun.
Probably would be less a chance of it getting eclipsed especially since Focus will have more value on a charged combo GS setup
imo, they should keep the moveset changing switch skill system for future games, but otherwise I think surge slash would have to be set up as a new weapon class
Everybody seems to have forgotten the block kick tackle combo into charge. It’s a fast combo into charge and was a relative staple in world. And you can still use it with Surge Slash combo on. You’re all welcome :)
Love the content, thank you for answering things I was already theorizing about. I will have to say I just don't think I'm good enough to master the block in order to do the most damage, especially since I'm often playing with friends and not solo which it feels like that technique desperately wants. So I will absolutely leave that on my secondary scroll so I can give monsters a massive wake up call Ah La little bomb combo as you displayed. But as for general fighting I have been loving paring adamant slash with rage slash and the new surge slash. Yes you lose the hyper armor from tackle while Surge slashing, but if you ever feel in danger, going into adamant slash seems to do the trick which allows you to then start the ol' tackle/rage mechanics.
Well there is Garangolm with the new skill, “charge master” witch gives you a Elements/status boost to charge attacks.
Sadly the increase is pretty bad.
@@RageGamingVideos Let's hope the next update bumps the numbers enough to make it useful. I REALLY want a viable elemental/status GS
Surge slash is also a lot of fun for crit draw punish draw Greatsword.
interesting, might give that a try
For someone who's been playing since gen 2 I absolutely adore sunbreak it's easily and I mean EASILY made Rise as a whole my favorite monster hunter of ALL BLOODY TIME EVER!!! I mainly started using greatsword (and dual blades with a splash of swaxe) in 3U but greatsword in sunbreak?! UHM YEAH YES FUCK YES PLEASE!!!! Greatsword is absolutely glorious and now with the new sexy af greatswords in sunbreak?! I couldn't say shut up and take my money enough times! This video rocks and I wish I could strong-arm stance true charge that like button but I'd break my phone into dust if I did 😂
From watching videos of the Strongarm Slash in action (Especially the clips in this video), it has me confident that we could see damage numbers beyond 10,000 before the end of Sunbreak's cycle. We could get there earlier if someone manages to do something simular to what TDS did in their recent "The Highest Damage Number in Monster Hunter Rise" video. But then again, that's not including the balance patches that'll make it more challenging.
In base rise I got tired of LS and hesitantly switched to GS. I've grown to love the weapon and have gotten pretty good at it over time. I like what Sunbreak's done by adding more of a learning curve to it's new moves and I like to think they made the most of the new skills for the weapons this strong because the monsters in Sunbreak were going to be that much sronger. In my opinion Sunbreak GS is the most satisfying GS i've played and GS is the most satisfying weapon to me overall. I can't wait to get even better at GS and eventually beat the game with my friend and check what Sunbreak has to offer.
P.S: Sorry for the length. :)
Olay has already done 10k damage with it. You basically have to initiate a sleep, start the bomb combo off and land the initial TCS hit before the monster goes to sleep, then land the actual TCS hit while it's asleep.
10,000 was like a bare minimum estimate from what I was saying given the 7000+ attack Rage did. Point is we could see numbers beyond 10,000 maybe 20,000 or even higher by the end of Sunbreak. Either way, Greatsword is reaching never before seen heights and I can't wait to see massive those damage numbers can go.
The votrex slash in the surge slash(the same button as tackle) combo has armor on it and it seems to have the same amount of armor as tackle as well. It doesn't change the main point of the video but I thought telling this information would be helpful for people who use it and didn't already find out
Basically, surge slash until you can get into strongarm, then build heavily into the new counter BOOM.
Pretty much my experience,speeding towards unlocking stance.lol
A non meta but good middle ground style is skipping wirebug whisperer to get more decos and using charge scroll when you have 2 bugs and switching to fast combo when you don't.
Compromise makes a good hybrid for both fun and big hit. LOVE switch skills!
Possible endgame use for Surge Slash: resurgence of Crit Draw playstyle. With the way Crit Draw now works, you should be able to land all three hits of the combo before it wears off. Since Surge Slash doesn't use focus, you can straight swap it for crit draw, and since crit draw will be covering 60% of your affinity, you can swap out either Crit Eye, or Weakness exploit for more RAW enhancing skills. The combat loop would simply be Surge Slash Combo>Power Sheath>Reposition> Repeat.
It wouldn't be Meta breaking, but it gives you those three things that made Crit Draw appealing: Respectable damage, Safe Playstyle, and precise hits.
Sadly crit draw runs out before the 3rd hit of Surge Slash connects or that'd be pretty fun!
@@RageGamingVideos That still means two beefy guaranteed crits, plus one that still has a 40% chance at a crit. Still could be worth it.
Wow, did not expect to be so entertained in a guide video. Good job bro. I’m heading to try my greatsword now. Thanks
thank you josh i was really struggling on what to choose
I'm gonna be honest, I went from being a charge blade main to dabbling in greatsword. Having spent a few games getting used to offensive guard, strong arm stance feels amazing.
I've never touched gs until now. I played charge blade and HH mainly. But now I wonder why I never picked up gs.
I got to teostra on my brother's switch, and bought it Rise+Sunbreak for my PC!
cant decide between the 4 weapons: GS/LS/LBG/BOW, but omg i cant wait to go further with GS. i'm just terribly clunky with it atm.
Will go watch vid one first!
I'm having an absolute blast with GS in Sunbreak. It really needed this care bad and holy shit is it so much more fun now
i tend to use surge slash as a "back up" plan whenever i can't land a hit for some reason, i might use it in 1% of my hunts, maybe less, but it still sometimes find it's neat uses
Technically, after the third hit in the Surge Slash Combo you can go into Strong Charge and then into either of the finishers (Rage/True Charge Slash). Also, why not both?
I'm definitely gonna be using a similar setup, except I'm gonna have Rage Slash instead.
And on my orange scroll it's gonna be Surge Slash because it's just fun. Maybe I'll use Adamant with it for repositioning, dodging and getting to the charge attacks quickly
But yeah, I didn't play World, so I still suck hard with aiming True Charge.
Maybe that'll change or become mostly irrelevant with Strongarm, but I really use Rage Slash for the ability to change my aim moreso than the armor and buff lol
Greatsword left B tier and is back to A tier, might be even God tier now
This video makes me want to try GS
Do it! Become Monke sharp edition!
I could see surge being very useful for the smaller monsters that don’t require as much damage to kill but are very mobile and hard to hit. I’ll keep it on my secondary scroll and swap depending on the type of monster I’m hunting.
I wanna see a return to valor greatsword, it’s so fun, I want it in a gen 5 game
Well maybe we’ll get it in gen 6
This was such a good watch, well done!
Happy for True Charge, but I, unfortunately, never liked the move that much. As cool as it was in World and Rise, there's just something about the two slashes that always makes me feel awkward. I can't control it as much as Rage Slash, and as chaotic as Surge Slash is, I like the balance of speed/power it has. I don't know how I feel about Strong Arm Stance, might have to try it out more, but the two wirebug cost is a bit of deal breaker for me, at least in terms of getting a feel for it. Either way, happy for greatsword.
Lance: Can other weapons stop stealing my counter gimmick for FIVE MINUTES
This is like a buff for me as i’m Great sword user since mh portable in psp back then, and always back for GS over and over again.. 🎉
Doing the bomb combo with strong arm, it's super hard to get down and do effectively
Ah ok so the Focus skill doesn't benefit the charge times of Strongarm and Surge Slash because whatever charges they have won't get any faster
Strong arm is called Hysteria now, or am i crazy?
Oh! And surge slash:
Vertical-> does most damage of the three
Horizontal-> have LOTS of partbreaker and a little of stun damage (only Horizontal II)
Overhead(X+A)-> Has hiperarmor
The three of them, teoretically, speed your subsequent strong Charge on 0,10 seconds... Wich is not a despreciable amout.
It was called Hysteria in the demo
@@HeyItsRicki85 Yea, sorry, You are right
Saying Strongarm is the only move worth using is really reductive and undermines how well rounded GS switch skills really are. Sure it may be the best damaging combo but it also has the highest skill floor, and as others have said, not every monster is gonna let you use Strongarm effectively most of the time; not every monster is gonna stand directly in front of you for 5 seconds to let you get off your TCS. The other switch skills are still just as useful as Strongarm for the simple fact that they're much more easy to use and allow you to be much more flexible, even Rage Slash still has it's use as a safer and easier alternative. Calling Strongarm the only skill worth using is only relevant if you're a speed runner and completely ignores the skill factor of the average player and the monsters themselves
Oh wow. I’ve been looking to try Great sword. I usually main Hunting Horn and the damage reduction of that stance reminds me of the wire bug hunting horn move where you do a backflip and gain a concussive damage after you hit a monster. I use the move just to take less damage when I know I’ll be hit and can’t dodge or when a monster roars cause the roar doesn’t stop the move either.
aprecciate it....cheering as always from germany :3
For me it's sad man, there are many changes in the weapons that i really like (surge slash is awesome and i will use it for the most of the game) but danm i don't ever have the feeling that the monster is a threat because i can always counter every fcking move they do, sunbreak is basically a hack and slash with extra steps, i really like rise i really do but i hope the next game of the series is a more like mh world
I wonder if it would entirely "kill" greatsword in sunbreak if they nerfed strongarm to only perform the charge that you were currently charging after activating it. I do think if they did that it'd still be useful, but it would allow other playstyles perhaps? Maybe i'm crazy..
So I recently got into the MH games, I played through all of MHW with some of my buddies earlier last year. I have around 200 hours of greatsword experience. Being able to counter almost instantly, with a two second window is probably THE most busted thing they could've added to the greatsword.
Is anyone else really not getting on with strong arm
Stance?
yea ive been trying to get the counter to work while charging but i just cant get it to proc during a charged hit (im on switch)
@@dragonickaiser7884 same I always seem to be either too slow or I get the counter but the monster has moved so the hit goes nowhere
This channel seems to have the best greatsword guides for this game. What’s the name of that red armor set?
Can you make a dual blade set please
I used the fast attack and rage paired with the counter an it's pretty nice😁
Guarded with guard tackle can skip to True/Rage charge and it is a guarantee proc on offensive guard.
I played allot of Lance for Rise + Sunbreak before starting to use GS and I think I'd still use both scrolls for different purposes because with the former uptime was king more-so than making the big meaty hits. The problem I see with the meta is that while in all the ideal circumstances you'd have two wirebugs when you'd need them, you'd still have to face monsters that like to chip hunters out and fight passive aggressively for significant amounts of time (Almudron, Blood-Orange Bishitan, Astalos etc.). Pretty much every monster has multi-hit attacks and it's far more rare to see your big finisher not have them either in Master Rank. Lance had insta-block for that which completely negated that factor with the only cost being good timing (literally zero health/stanima loss + you can do almost anything out of it, most importantly more insta-blocks). However with greatsword all of it's good readably on-hand answers to keep attacking and not just fish for hits cost 1 wirebug or giving up the stanima + health to do a tackle. I started making builds explicitly around the fact that I'd have a red scroll for with a Surge Slash Combo for the enraged moments and a blue scroll with the Charge Slash + Strongarm meta when things were less chaotic. It makes it far more flexible and I can take that added uptime doing SSC stuff to break monster parts so the trades for the blue scroll that will happen can be a non-factor because of blood rite.
Kinda feels like the SAED playstyle of charge blade.
Surge slash is def good for early MR, I feel like its gonna have some niche use case on the 2nd scroll
actually, strongarm-ing the qurio explosion in the anomaly hunts arent a bad idea, it only works if you have at least 1 lvl of guard up, but basically itll give u bloodblight, which would allow you to heal back what what ud have to tank for the explosion
I'll be honest rage, i started using GS in mh3 on the wii, down to mh4u and gen up to World where i discovered your Channel and really get into power builds now on rise, been loving to try out the builds and recommanded combos for full potential of the Gs ^^
I decided to make ele GS cuz of the buffs and new switch skills. It’s pretty darn fun 🤙🏼
Dude that move looked so badass 3:03.
I'd say surge slash is more for status/blast applications, and elemental playstyles. Still fun though.
There are a lot of features to Surge Slash Combo you haven't mentioned. Was planning on making a guide specifically on Surge Slash Combo today and stopped by to see if you already covered it. Already figured your focus would be on the chunky hits :P
Remember when monsters used to consistently flinch when you got a level 3 on the head, those were the days
im using one scroll with adamant charge and surge slash combo and other with strongarm and charge slash combo its really good
hear me out surge slash+redirection+whatever mix of coalescence/hellfire/breath/wallrunner/etc you can have. even just the first two gives you basically infinite strong arm and dodge capabilities but everything else basically gives you a kind of corrupted/berserk knight kind of feel where you can actually make use of gore/shagaru magala's sets by constantly maintaining "debuffs"
I use Surge Slash Combo with Chain Crit and it's amazing
U give us the endgame player builds and the ones done but u play for fun with different stuff even if it's not the strongest hits I like that
Can't wait for the build video, I'm a hammer main but the damage output in endgame isn't making it for me, it's time to pick up the almighty stick of the gods
Whats the great Sword your using ? She looks amazing
I can't counter with great sword if my life depended on it, but i can easily do so with long sword i have to sick to the good old repositioning lol
They didn't pach it I use keyboard so I had to press C while charging
Surge combo is the reason I am mailing GS, it's so much fun with the rest of this kit. Please still make a build off of it.
Look man... I've been GS since Freedom (the first I got but I later managed to get MH on ps2) soo whatever guidance you guys provide on hit things with big stick means all
TBH I've always enjoyed the idea of swinging around the Great Sword since I first started playing MH all those years ago but the speed was always a turn off for me when compared to stuff like LBG, Dual Blades, and Sword and Shield. Surge Slash Combo is on my main Switch Scroll while the blue one has the setup mentioned here...I'm still having trouble with the timing of using Strongarm and getting it to activate while charging but I'll figure it out. Using the Rathalos X armor which gives a max Partbreaker on top of Attack Boost at where I'm at currently plus the maxed out defense upgrade has been a tail severing jamboree for me lol, when combined with LBG that use Slice ammo I can get break parts like crazy without taking up slots on my armor, and having Spare Shot helps out a lot too when it comes to saving ammo. I've started using the Great Sword more now that I have a faster combo option with Surge Slash that can still get into True Charged..yeah it takes longer to get to it but with competent online partners or a good Buddy setup it's still possible.
My switch skill set up is having the one you recommended and then the next has the skills that aren't used, except guard tackle because it sucks. I actually really like hunting edge since it got buffed. I find it helpful against monsters that don't stay still very long but enough to hit with hunting edge. Like lunagaron, before strong arm, is a monster that I like hunting edge on.
Sad to not have this on xbox hopefully they will! I love monster hunter and have to dl it on my switch.
I've also noticed I frames for the round slash
You know I use to be a mounting master. Back in 4U Insect glaive was the king of mounting.... seems the great sword is that now.
Rise and Sunbreak got me to love the great sword.
I think I am going to use the style I find more fun. Rage + Adamant and Strongarm + TCS in another. The reason is cause I don't want to rely on my wirebugs and I play greatsword to stand in the monster's face and see big numbers not spam counter.
I'm a simple man. I love big numbers. Looking at a bunch of numbers is pretty nice too but I really love seeing a lone, four digits number on my screen.
fyi you mention losing access to tackle in the surge slash combo but dont mention that you are completely invincible while doing the horizontal surge slashes.
I know this might be a silly question, but would the skill counterstrike proc with strongarm? Or does it only proc when knocked down completely by a monster?
One thing I find surge slash useful for is popping the glowy anomaly orb things
That’s true
the video i was waiting for :D
I have always hated the Slow style of GS and after the sunbreak demo I was so happy that for the 1st time I tried hard to learn the GS and guess what now I love it because it's slow. The new quick combo is good but the old style is better. The irony lol. But I think I'll just use both with the scroll set to two style. ✌️
Silly question but how do you level 1 charge AND use your silkbind for strongarm? arent they tied to the same button?
While charging you can do a different input to trigger strongarm(left trigger + forward I think). When not charging its the normal input that you are thinking of.
I'm honestly not a fan of strongarm, I find it way too annoying to activate
Also nothing is disregarding anything unless you're a meta slave
