Also, if you’re not using the narga weapons, consider using the magnamalo arms. They give two points of handicraft which is enough to double most weapon’s blue sharpness. Also they have a lv2 slot for extra comfort
I've found that the rampage sns with sharpness type 1, paralysis I and attack surge it's a great option. If you have handicraft in your skills, you can easily get white sharpness with great raw of 220 and an affinity that you can easily fix with a weakness exploit
To throw this out there: the Jaggi SnS is already a great raw/bludgeoner option but if you grab Silkbind boost earlier on the tree and then upgrade to Jaggi SnS it KEEPS the ramp-up! So you can boost that Shoryugeki by a good 100 or so damage, it ain’t bad!
Its pretty dang good, you can white sharpness with just 2 handicraft (magno gloves). I've test both jaggi and diablos both with rampage skill attack II and jaggi wins out by a decent margin if you can mantain the white sharpness. Which is easily done if you get protective polish, speed sharpening. Also the silkbind boost only adds 45 damage vs the attack boost II so attack boost is better for all around damage as the shoryugecki as a long cooldown
Haha! This is actually a completely new one believe it or not 🤣 The original one is in Utsushi gear with Bishaten SnS. It just so happens Rathian is the prime target for that clip.
I've been absolutely destroying with the Zinogre sns, good raw, great Thunder damage (obviously way better if you build around it) and since one of the best sets you can make for it include two Zinogre pieces, you got mad aesthetic points too
What's the set/Zingore pieces you use for it if you don't mind my asking? I've just recently unlocked most of the high rank monsters so I'm finally looking into making sets and that Zingore SnS has been one of my main weapons I've been bringing.
@@level19cpu7I can break it down no problem. Zin helm Zin chest Rathalos arms Rajaang waist Rajaang boots My talisman gives me slugger lv. 2 and defense plus one. Aside from that, you basically just wanna gem in some thunder attack stamina thief, and many attack. It's a really fun set that absolutely destroys anything remotely weak to Thunder lol
@@DandotChan Thanks! I haven't fought Rajaang yet in Rise so I'll have to take a look at what skills his set has in that setup, but I'm looking forward to trying this out!
Looking forward to the top 5 light bowguns, & hoping to see Izutchi/Gale on the list. Yes, it's not an end game bowgun, but you can make the first form very early, and its rapid pierce ammo, with a few upgrades & some suitable armor skills, can carry you through most of the game's progression with style and ease. Plus it just looks fantastic.
honestly the izutchi is a sleeper for doing hr stuff early.... rapid slice for some funtimes also... heck i did the final fight with it because narg was being a cheapskate with mats
Nice one Arekkz keep the SnS content coming! As for a favourite that wasn't mentioned, I'm I'm fan of the Sinister blade as well. White sharpness with handicraft, 200 raw and solid blast makes it pretty solid, the design is also on point.
Kamura Ninja Sword! Decent raw, decent blue sharpness. Affinity IV or Master Rider rampage skills, a 1slot and a 2slot deco space. All this on top of being relatively easy to make!

Glad to see the Bishaten sword make the list. I made a Wishlist page purely of aesthetically pleasing weapons to get cause they look cool, for when I needed a break from farming for meta builds. The Shaucha Pureblade was my SnS and the only SnS I have right now. It just looks awesome. Too bad my Lance tree took up most of that page, so many good looking Lances (Rampart/Babel for example)
Arekkz, as a SnS main, i feel compelled to do so. Here are my favourite SnS. There's quite a lot of them so there's no list and i love them all equally so they're in no particular order. And i'm not restricting myself to Rise, the SnS i'll mention are from multiple games throughout the franchise. I'll mention every SnS by name and only the name i remember the most, so it could be any upgrade of a path, so if you don't know which one i'm talking about, look it up on Google. With that said, here they are. Guild Palace Sword Shining Wyvern Blade Master Odyssey Blue Ogre Sword Azure Elder Sword Teostra's Emblem Icesteel Dagger/Daora's Maelstrom Verdant Rapier Platinum Dawn Sinister Sword Shaucha Pureblade True Fatalis Sword Legia Rimespire/Nephilim Glacia Hero's Blade Star Knight Sword
Definitely a big *fan* of the Mizutsune SnS ;) Also, since there's technically no shield, it just looks like you're punching the monster every time you shield bash or Shoryu and that's always badass
I'm still considering to keep using it afterwards. It might not be as good as Narga's or Diablos' SnS but it's still usable and looks amazing, and one usually doesn't try to speedrun causal hunts anyway.
@@azrael5493 that's just raw with extra steps. Thats not an ice Element Weapon. A decent Element weapon outshines raw If you can exploit element-weaknesses
4:42 - My man! Love that you guys are saving ************** for a while yet. :) I had to unsub from TDS for a few weeks after the published the speedrun against ************** and updated the vague name to the real name just a few days later... It was an attempt at least, but the general populous of the player base doesn't have the free time to blast out the entire Guild Hall in a few days or weeks, nevermind the new players joining the hunt everyday! After beating it, I have since resubbed to them, but I appreciate that you guys are respecting peoples time to not spoil things this far out. Looking forward to the Funlance breakdown!!! Should be SWEET
The Diablos SnS is pretty crazy, insane raw with a good chunk of blue sharpness for only -5% affinity that can be negated with ramp up? crazy. Considering shield basher is one our best moves now that blue sharpness goes a long way too.
Okay but here's the thing about the Cat's Paw sword: It looks like shit at first, but if you have literally any amount of Handicraft it almost instantly shoots up to White sharpness. So like, one point of Handicraft, some amount of Hard Polish, and suddenly that thing's just bonkers.
I'm conflicted, because I love the Rapier, but I also like the Wroggi SnS, and I have no idea which to pick, honestly. They both look really cool, and Wroggi has huge poison stat. Any suggestions?
In previous MH games I only used SnS as a back up to Hammer main for faster monsters that I needed tail carves. The tweaks they’ve made in Rise have me using SnS. Standing in Magnamalo’s face and repeatedly shield bashing & charge switching his head into a watery pulp. Then going to town on his head with perfect rush and spinning reaper is very satisfying!!
Just realized the lance's silkbind double thrust CAN boost wpn damage by 10% for a short time, like anchor rage (but glows blue). But has a short window (basically insta block quick, even if you don't have insta block). Also follow that move with x to do a power thrust, or back+x for a turnaround swipe.
I'll go ahead and throw the Anjanath and the Rajang one in there as ones to get too. The Anjanath one because it's basically a fire version of the Goss Harag one with -20% affinity and Brutal Strike. The Rajang one because...well....iz big.
I'm always partial to the Royal Ludroth Claw. Super easy to make, great element, 2-1-1 slot distribution and a decent chunk of blue. Every game it's been in, it's been a very solid sword and shield, and the versatile brother to the more powerful Odyssey Blade.
Sleep-bombing has been my favorite playstyle in the MH games for as long as I can remember, so the Morpheus Knife is at the top of my SnS list. Setting the bombs off with a clutch Metsu Shoryugeki to get the counter boost is satisfying as hell no matter how many times it happens.
I'm in agreement with Arekkz here, but I would pull out the Para/Sleep options in the 5th slot and simply replace those with Shaucha Pureblade. My honorable mentions would go to: Kurenawi Ougi (love the aesthetic) Commander's Dagger (pairs perfect with Bludgeoner and Razor Sharp) Guard Breaker (I like the aesthetic for this, too) Burly Beak (aesthetic, bludgeoner pairing, slots, it has a lot) Sinister Shadekeeper (aesthetic, plus Blast isn't a bad thing to have on an SnS)
Yes!! Its my fav. The extra 100 points of damage from blast happen often and I feel like it has a lot more damage potential than the poison Rathian sns
I made a convoluted Magna SnS, Hellfire Cloak, Bubbly Dance, Resuscitate build and while it may not be the highest DPS it's super fun and unique and it does still put in work.
I've gotten two talismans that have wex 2, but neither of them have level 2 slot, so they're useless to me. I'm using a talisman that has 1 wex a level 2 slot and a level 1 slot currently.
For bludgeoner+brutal strike builds, the Barroth SnS is really good and can be crafted quite early into High Rank. It has exhaust, so you can slow down monsters which can help against some harder enemies (and KO them easier I think).
@@ArekkzGaming I got a +2 Hellfire Cloak talisman with a 2 slot so I'm working on a Hellfire Cloak/Blast SNS set. Comes with Handicraft+3 (gives magnamalo weapons white sharpness), and AB+4 among many other skills. I'll let you know how well it works and if it's worth trying out.
Shaucha Pureblade ramped-up for silkbind boost + offensive guard + jump master + wirebug whisperer is an extremely niche metsu shoryugeki spam build that I'm definitely going to try out. Not sure how much of a boost silkbind boost really is but I just love that damn move, just fricking watch me kill a monster using exclusively metsu shoryugeki!
There's something we have in common. We both love the Hero's Blade, and love the Shaucha Pureblade because it reminds us of the former. Believe you me, i miss it too. And the Star Knight Sword.
I have a question about the training area. When you go in there is a secret mural. It is up the 3rd water fall from the left. Is this a link to get something special? I have seen only one person post a video on this.
The Bishaten weapons have one of the best designs in the entire game. For example the bow. If the weapon isn't drawn it looks like you have a halo and wings
Bludgeoner? I use this blade with handicraft lv3, with fast sharpening. It throws literally stronger damage than the diablos! I recommend using the shield often to do damage and not to consume out the white sharpness.
i have a question about sleep weapons. they don't seem useful at all. So the question is, "are sleep weapons just meant for a couple of monsters? or are they stronger than first glance would suggest?"
It seems they're more meant for very specific builds/playstyles with solo or a buddy, since anything higher then 2 their thresholds skyrocket too high for more then 1 sleep a quest against most monsters
I'm guessing you are purposely avoiding the Rampage weapons? Because I would think the Rampage SnS is a much better paralysis option than bnahabra at potentially 190 raw, 10 para, and white sharpness if you use handicraft 3.
I'm a little confused on Elemental damage, why does it matter so much and how does it work? I don't know if this'll even be seen, but this confuses me greatly.
People are really sleeping on the barioth sns. Blue sharpness and it has a ramp up skill to get it up to 41% base affinity, it has a level 2 slot and a level one as well
If Bazel comes back i'm hoping they give him the Deviljho treatment as he should've gotten, getting every class of weapon because damn would his SnS look and play nice
Every title update monster in World and Iceborne came with a weapon in every class, if Bazel comes back, he’d probably get the same treatment. His weapons were consistently some of my favourite looking, I’d love to see what an SnS and an Insect Glaive from him would look like.
@@tylermacgregor1320 Probably would look like a mix of Gladiator and Knight weapons. So maybe an explosive trident for glaive and a Gladius and Short sword mix with a thick fur lined shield like how the Lance got? The possibilities lol
Maybe I arrive late, in any case there is not in the list the jaggi's dagger, the commander dagger. It is more powerful than the diablos with handicraft 3, few have discovered its sharpness beyond green.
Honestly I'm kind of disappointed with status weapons having so low raw damage. Even rampage sns can get only 10 paralysis damage without possibility to boost it further. Anyway I'm surprised you didn't mention Magnamalo's sns. Such a good weapon with a cool design.
For me its jaggi sns 220 attack massive green for bludgeoner builds and if your clever you could sneak in silk bind boost before making it a jaggi weapon
Oh, yeah; it does. If it had had four slots, then it would've been even more like the Yato. Speaking of Fire Emblem, is it just me, or would Byleth's sword of the creator fit right in with Monster Hunter?
@@matthewmuir8884 it would be cool if they did a collab with Three Houses that gives you Byleth's armor and their sword. They did that in mhgen with Marth
@@jurassicjerry2280 True, but what would the sword of the creator fall under? Being a whip-sword, it would probably either have to be a longsword or its own category.
@@ArekkzGaming sweet man, I went back to my sns roots and I know you love it so I was curious. I think I've completed my build for elemental so I was interested to see some raw.
love SnS in every Monster Hunter Game but have to say am dissapointed that the Point Guard into Perfect Rush Counter isnt as awesome as I tought it would be since you need guard + on SnS which is annoying. other then that all other changes are amazing on the weapon
Even in the demo when messing around with it I knew it was extremely limited unless such skills were used, and now with metsu shoryugeki it’s kinda more gimmicky considering you have that
I was wondering about the bishaten sns. Cuz i like it too, but idk if it's gonna be good enough later on so i made it to get the zinogre and not use the materials just in case. Glad to see that it's not a good enough option conaidering the narga n the diablos ones are better with narga having crits most of the time and diablos having raw damage.
2:16 - What's not to love about Goss Harag? It's basically Barry the Chopper from Full Metal Alchemist.
Also, if you’re not using the narga weapons, consider using the magnamalo arms. They give two points of handicraft which is enough to double most weapon’s blue sharpness. Also they have a lv2 slot for extra comfort
Thanks

Bishaten Sword and Shield is like a perfect Swiss Army Knife weapon. Good for rampages or if you’re fighting an unfamiliar monster.
What about Mizutsune’s SnS!? It’s a fan! An actual fan, man!
And the shield is a bracelet
I like countering with metsu shoryugeki and bashing monsters with your fists
I’ve heard you’re a huge fan
I'm not actually sure if it's the best water SnS, but I had no choice but to use it on my elemental crit build after seeing it.
Yeah it is so sick looking it is 100% why I switched to SnS in rise

I knew this would come sooner or later... Great video!!
Can we please get kinsect glaive guide next??
I'm a little confused on Elemental damage, why does it matter so much and how does it work? I don't know if this'll even be seen, but this confuses me greatly.
Raw is always more important unless you're leaning into elemental damage and the monster is particularly weak to the element being used
You can get Brutal Strike with Spiked Bat if you assign it in the Barroth tree
I haven't started this video yet, but i can tell you for free that the nargacuga sns will be number one or at least top 3.
Every narga weapon is a top 3 for every weapon type rn lmao
@@juanbarb57 exactly my point, theyre wacky good
@@kelpia It's ridiculously. We're on how many years of Monster Hunter and they still release something like the Narga weapons in Rise...
People are really sleeping on the barioth sns. Blue sharpness and it has a ramp up skill to get it up to 41% base affinity, it has a level 2 slot and a level one as well
If Bazel comes back i'm hoping they give him the Deviljho treatment as he should've gotten, getting every class of weapon because damn would his SnS look and play nice
Every title update monster in World and Iceborne came with a weapon in every class, if Bazel comes back, he’d probably get the same treatment. His weapons were consistently some of my favourite looking, I’d love to see what an SnS and an Insect Glaive from him would look like.
@@tylermacgregor1320 Probably would look like a mix of Gladiator and Knight weapons. So maybe an explosive trident for glaive and a Gladius and Short sword mix with a thick fur lined shield like how the Lance got? The possibilities lol
You gave me an idea for a great build
Aaye the top 5 videos are back🔥
Well i guess for most weapons the nargacuga weapons will be top notch natural white, high affinity and decent raw makes it almost always a solid pick
Mitsu all the way... especially with the spirit shield
Can you do more of these for diffrent weapons?
I've enjoyed using the pukei pukei weapon, venomedge over the rathian one simply due to the sharpness that is way more.
Ngl I was quiet surprised and impressed, how good Rathians SnS is.
Its probably the most well-rounded sns. Abouve avg Raw, decent affinity, and poison damage make it super solid for lots of builds.
Maybe I arrive late, in any case there is not in the list the jaggi's dagger, the commander dagger. It is more powerful than the diablos with handicraft 3, few have discovered its sharpness beyond green.
Honestly I'm kind of disappointed with status weapons having so low raw damage. Even rampage sns can get only 10 paralysis damage without possibility to boost it further.
Anyway I'm surprised you didn't mention Magnamalo's sns. Such a good weapon with a cool design.
Nice guy Arekks blurring out the monster parts, considering some people havent finished the game yet (me)
Ibushi SNS is a great weapon. Dragon damage plus tons of blue sharpness is sonething I run around with.
Picked up sns for the first time in rise, been playing since tri... Man I've been missing out on a fun weapon
For me its jaggi sns 220 attack massive green for bludgeoner builds and if your clever you could sneak in silk bind boost before making it a jaggi weapon
Why is the top material blurred out on spiked bat??
It's a final boss part
I just got the Volvidon hammer and I like the high paralysis rate.
Best looking weapon in my opinion so far is the misutsune long blade
I'm using Rajang's Sword nd Sheild at the moment it is GOOOOOOOOD
The Bishaten SnS looks a lot like Yato (Corrin's sword from Fire Emblem Fates)
Oh, yeah; it does. If it had had four slots, then it would've been even more like the Yato.
Speaking of Fire Emblem, is it just me, or would Byleth's sword of the creator fit right in with Monster Hunter?
@@matthewmuir8884 it would be cool if they did a collab with Three Houses that gives you Byleth's armor and their sword. They did that in mhgen with Marth
@@jurassicjerry2280 True, but what would the sword of the creator fall under? Being a whip-sword, it would probably either have to be a longsword or its own category.
@Arekkz can you possibly share your build used for the raw sns?
I will do soon! It's not quite finished yet, but it's close :D
@@ArekkzGaming sweet man, I went back to my sns roots and I know you love it so I was curious. I think I've completed my build for elemental so I was interested to see some raw.
Nargacuga should be the last boss, almost every best weapon comes from it
Magnamalo sinister shade keeper SNS is not bad. Good looking too
Fun fact. You get white sharpness from shaucha's pureblade with one level of handicraft. So yeah... Another nod to bishaten's sns
The shaucha blade reminds me of the dawnbreaker short sword from skyrim
The artifact wich you can get in the mara quest
love SnS in every Monster Hunter Game but have to say am dissapointed that the Point Guard into Perfect Rush Counter isnt as awesome as I tought it would be since you need guard + on SnS which is annoying. other then that all other changes are amazing on the weapon
Even in the demo when messing around with it I knew it was extremely limited unless such skills were used, and now with metsu shoryugeki it’s kinda more gimmicky considering you have that
Oh thank God. Really like these things
Can you do bows?
Can you do charge blade next
I want that Ninja SnS back that had a bracelet as a shield
Any idea when you'd be putting out the glaive workshop?
I've been playin with the Narga sns using a lot of shield strikes and that white sharpness is basically infinite.
I was wondering about the bishaten sns. Cuz i like it too, but idk if it's gonna be good enough later on so i made it to get the zinogre and not use the materials just in case. Glad to see that it's not a good enough option conaidering the narga n the diablos ones are better with narga having crits most of the time and diablos having raw damage.
Are there oils for the SnS like in GenU?
Nope ):
