Just a general tip for the Odogaron Set as many people us it. Do not use the Alpha Chest. Get the Beta piece. You get a nice slot and all you lose is bleed resistance which is useless anyways.
This is honestly the best build video I've found so far. I'd love to see you make a video with other weapon types like bows or glaives. You just earned yourself a new sub regardless :)
Best Longsword Build ive crafted. Divine slasher - Attack Jewel Handicraft Charm Dragon Eye Patch - Critical Jewel Dober Mail B - Critical Jewel Kaiser Vambraces B - Critical Jewel Nergigante Coil B - Elementless Jewel Death Stench Heel B - 2 x Attack Jewel Affinity Boost, Rock Steady Mantle This set contains the following: Attack Boost 7 Critical Boost 3 Weakness Exploit 3 Handicraft 5 Non-Elemental Boost Divine Slasher WHITE Sharpness / 832 Attack %15 percent natural affinity when Augmented. Armor (maxed out) = 453 Fire resist 5 Water resist 0 Thunder resist -5 Ice resist 0 Dragon resist -2 One can remove 2 attack gems to instead add 6% affinity due to the fact that affinity no longer increases after attack boost 5. To reach a natural 21% affinity for a 71% affinity boost when attacking weakpoints. Paired with the Affinity Boost to have 100% affinity boost so long as its active. (And give affinity to fellow hunters who greatly appreciate it) High damage, decent resistances (that dont hit -10+) and affinity support for team hunts. Also for you Fashion Hunters. Match the Eyepatch to the same shade of brown as the surrounding eyepatch. Turn all other armor pieces red to match the kaiser gauntlets and you tadaaaah Powerful Build + Fashion. Edit: I have further refined the build by supplementing an additional Critical Boost Gem into a socket and replaced the handicraft gem that was on the Slasher itself with another attack jewel. In addition I swapped the no longer needed Critical Boost Charm with a Handicraft Charm to gain the maximum benefit of Max Handicraft. I realized 3 handicraft only gave about 6 swings of white sharpness before getting to blue which doesnt exactly lend to a consistent damage build which is what I was going for. This build trades circumstantial events (such as small bursts of increased damage when the monster is enraged) for consistent damage that lasts all hunt.
MaleficArken Im HR 15 rn and i've created the armour you told us about but i don't have any jewels or the Divine Slasher. It would be helpful if you could tell me a fast way to farm jewels and get the divine slasher.
RaijinXV There is a new Event hunt currently out that is 6* rank that gives a lot of decorations. Currently that is a fantastic way to gain some decorations. Keep in mind that all of the gems are level 1 or 2 so you dont have to farm tempered elder dragons for them. Do not neglect the Elder Melder. Since you will be stacking a lot of gems you can take advantage of getting rid of ones you will never use. To get the Divine Slasher, you have to do Arena Quests (located in the gathering hub) as it is a guild weapon that utilizes coins. Another tip. Elementless works with Blast Weapons as well. Edit: Farming Tempered Elder Dragons is always good however, so you can gain the augmentation items and potential for future builds.
Nick Krits I myself dont consider Earplugs a must have. This is because a lot of people do not realize something about Monster Roar, many can be dodged depending on the severity of the roar. Monsters with a long roar are typically those that you cannot roll through so earplugs is a boon. However a well timed roll can render you immune to that monster roar without having to invest all those points into earplugs. I dont consider it necessary because i try to time all my dodges with the monsters roar. Its a good practice to have as youll end up learning what you can and cant roll through.
Nick Krits they have an animation. There are no health bars or anything numerical to tell you its going to roar. Fighting a monster long enough youll end up knowing what movements is does when it roars. Typically, youll see it take in a dee breath and rear or flick its head to then open its mouth and let out a roar. Example. The first time you see a monster and attack it, it will always let out a roar. You can train rolling through this. Likewise when they get enraged they always change visually and let out a roar, you can practice during these times as well.
MaleficArken imo earplugs are useless in the game with the LS as you can stop it with the counter dodge attack ( R2 + O ) Not only does this make you unaffected it also fills your gauge if your ls hits the monster
@RMCF, thats really depend on your build, but in general i can say; WE, attack, CE, elementless damage, quick sheath, focus, Capacity Boost, Constitution, Critical Boost, Critical Draw, Evade Extender, Evade Window, maximum might, stamina surge, handicraft, piearcing/spread shot.
I think you can do even better with the divine slasher If you use divene slasher eye patch α dober armor β nerg hands α nerg pants β deathsstench boots β handicraft charm you then have 3 3deco slots 1 2 deco slot and 2 1 deco slots you can then put 2 attack decos in the 1 slots for attack up 7 get an elemtless and a weakness exploit jewel for more raw power and the weakness exploit lvl 3 and have still have two lvl 3 deco slots for free use maybe agitator if a deco exist for it over all you would have weakness eploit lvl 3 attack up lvl 7 agitator lvl 2 non element boost lvl 1 handicraft lvl 5 for a nice long white sharpness and 2 lvl 3 decos left so your crit would be at 55% for weakpoints 61% if enraged and on a weakpoint and 71% if you augment the weapon and you can still get boost from corallorchestra if you play solo With that build i sometimes reach over 1.2k attack in solo player and we all know that raw damage is better than elemental damage Would appreciate it if you would take a look at this build
This is the actual best build for Longsword. In fact you can get a Protective Polish gem and replace the attack gems for grinder gems to stay at White sharpness forever which will in the long term give you more damage than 6 True Raw.
no u cannot, because ext edge cannot work with handicraft, and that's the reason why divine slasher is the single best long sword end game,I mean end game
Hey I'm working on a tempered dragon set, still working out the details but it is intended to be versatile with a good mix of survival and damage. Guild Cross Helm Beta - T1 x 3 - This gives you the versatility, you can slot 3 miasma, 3 attack, 3 elemental, 3 vitality; it's a great helm and it has no weaknesses (0 weakness/resistances) - Also grants Divine Blessing 2, cause why not. Brigade Suit Beta - T2 x 2 - It is the ONLY armor in the game that gives more than one T2 slot, also 0 Res/weak; finished Divine Blessing. Kaiser Vambraces Alpha - T1 x 1 - Weakness Exploit level 2 - 1 Resistance to dragon. Dober Coil Alpha - T2 x 1 - Dragon Resist Level 2 + Attack level 1; also has 4 dragon innate resistance with mild negatives. Kushala Crus Beta - T3 x 1 - Evade Extender level 2; haven't finalized on this one, but the key is having another T2 or T3 slot. Handicraft Charm III - Should push you to white sharpness, if not available on the weapon can be switched for something like Attack 3. The big focus with this build is on minimal weaknesses, a strong resistance to dragon, and SLOTS! This would give you FOUR tier 1 slots; THREE tier 2 slots; and a tier 3. - As mentioned the Tier 1 can be used very broadly including 3 miasma decorations + 1 attack. The Tier 2 allow you to add 3 decorations of critical boost, 3 max might, 3 part breaker, 3 slugger; it really opens up possibilities. The tier 3 can be an extension of the tier 2, finish weakness exploit, protective polish, non-element. Of course I would recommend a weapon with at least one tier 2+ slot. Biggest weakness to this build is the sheer dependency on decorations; without a good amount of rare decorations, the build falls very "meh"; plus the build requires grinding in the arena missions...UGH!
This game requires ridiculous amounts of grinding, i’m nearly 100hrs in about to fight Vaal Hazak (already beat Teo, Nerg and Kushala) and i’m still not even close to having the gear that I want. I don’t have one long sword of each element type, I don’t have an ice long sword or an adequate fire long sword, I don’t have the armor pieces that I want. Then when I enter master rank all my armor becomes worthless and I have to grind all over again. It is exhausting
I miss playing mh. The last I played is mhfu. And one of my favorite weapon is long sword too. My favorite melee set for that is combination of black diablos and azure rathalos and added decorations to fill the missing skill pts, that has skills of artisan: so that my attack won't bounce even if in its lowest sharpness, high grade earplug: for total immune to scream, fast sharpening, reckless abandon 1: for criticals. Fast charge skill is also good for long sword too, u can build your spirit gauge fast with less normal attacks. 👍
Yup this might actually be THE strongest damage build for Longsword in the Game right now if you do not want to work with Heroics. I will probably craft it myelf when I get all the jewels needed (Attack/Crit Eye) For End-Game content: Yes the Damage might be crazy, but until you have augmented/upgraded everything to the maximum Armor, try to use the skill Healthboost (up to +50 HP stacking with food-/itembuff) and slot in some elemental resistance or just raw defense! Especially HR 49+ Monsters can completely 1-Hit kill you, if you run pure damage builds on only 150 hp! Highmetal Braces Beta for example give +2 Healthboost and one level 1 slot (Healthboost jewels are level 1). One of my most favourite armorpieces at the moment ;)
Hahah so you’re dying in game and causing people to fail hunts because you want to look cool, yes I hope I never get stuck with you, you do realize with most sets you only need three pieces for your bonus stat and mix in a 2 piece gear for that stat bonus and still look cool, ps, Xeno armor isn’t that great you look like a fking glowing fly.
For LS, or any other non GL weapon that burns through sharpness, I have: Kaiser Crown B, Rathalos Mail B, Kaiser Vambraces B, Odogaron Coil B, Kaiser Greaves B, Master's Charm 3, 3 Crit Boost jewels, & 2 Crit Eye Jewels. The set gives Critical Eye 7, Weakness Exploit 3, Latent Power 3, Crit Boost and Master's Touch.
Latent Power isn't super necessary, though if for some reason you aren't able to attack a weak point, while LP is active you'll still have a 60% chance to Crit, not including you weapon's Affinity. A weapon with at least 20% Affinity, including any Affinity augments, can get 100% while attacking weak points, without LP needing to trigger.
The Skills "Critical Boost" is mistranslated in the Game. The damage of affinity attacks is 125%, so you get 25% Bonusdamage when you landing a Crit. The Skill raises the damage not by 30%, but the bonusdamage you do with affinity attacks is increased TO 30%. so in the end you deal 130% attack damage with affinity attacks. Getting a Critical Boost +3 is far better than +1 and i don't recommend using just the lvl 1 skill because the extra damage you deal is very low in comparison.
I try to put affinity and critical boost and it's imposible... there's no point to put 40% of critical damage if u can't do critical damage in all yout hits... I prefer do normal criticals in 100% of my hits than doing 40% of extra damge 30% of my hits
I wouldn't consider the last build not being "strong to dragon" as a weakness. You're playing off of elemental damage with the set and there doesn't seem to be anything in it that requires you to use Extermination's Edge. Just swap out the weapon and maybe a couple jewels and there you go. It may not be the absolute strongest against each element, but like you already stated this build is flexible and will deal significant damage regardless of the weapon equipped.
I'm new to mhw and I'm using the xeno jiiva longsword with eye patch and odogaron set. I'm HR49 so still working on a lot of stuff. There's plenty of room for improvement but this set seems amazing so far. Just enough white sharpness works great with the odo 4pc. Currently at max crit eye and will have max weakness exploit when I get the damn deco. Great starter set for anyone looking to get into tempered i feel.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here but the ratholos mastery works for all elements so you can just switch out your sword to an element the monster is weakest to, removing what you considered the biggest flaw of that armor set.
Critical Boost is the best skill in the game, but it's nothing without Weakness Exploit. Attack Boost is probably the easiest way to increase your damage and you can get plus 7 very easily after HR29, followed by Agitator and elementless. Maximum Might plus Weakness Exploit can easily get you 100% affinity. Finally, if you can get a Protective Polish decoration you're pretty much set.
You need to hit the weak part of the monster to active the Weakness Exploit skill. And for most monsters the weak part is their head, and only their head. So it's really hard to get the 100% crit unless you can constantly hit the head.
Goku & Chestnut umm that is misinformed info the weakpoints aren't always the head there are many that are weak by their tail, front legs, and chest. I use a great sword or switch axe so I usually have no choice but to pick my attacks, so I know the head is not always going to be your focus.
On Brute Force swap the attack charm to handicraft and swap the legs to Nergigante Beta and put a protective polish gem in it. You lose 9 raw and some of the bonus from Agitator but gain the white sharpness modifier and a way to maintain it fairly easily, which ends up giving you significantly more damage in the end.
I like my personal one xeno torso waist and legs. The glasses for head and Damascus arms. The main points about this set is getting razor sharp, handicraft and power prolonger. That power prolonger makes the long swords charge last longer. Meaning your red sword lasts long enough to take full advantage of that charge level. So you don't have to focus so much on getting your red back again. Oh yeah. And handicraft charm. Also I got lucky and got a protective Polish Jwl.
Odogaron build - exchange alpha mail for beta to gain a slot and get rid of bleeding resistance, change handicraft charm for master charm to max out critical eye
yo dude great guides and build ideas, through the knowledge you passed on i found a pretty hefty build that surpasses the damage potential of every class on here weapon: divine slasher rath soul healm b kushala cista b kaiser vambraces b nergigante coil b death stench b exploiter charm 2 decorations: elementless jewel, expert jewel (three of them), critical jewel (two of them), sharp jewel, and an attack jewel. Thanks for the content again man try it out sometime
considering the fact different monsters have different resistances, a raw damage and crit build won't be the best. there are no best builds. do what you like and learn from it
Rookslayer. Nergigante legs body and head. For maximum might 3, and stamina surge 2. And hp regen. Or you can put odogoron mail on instead for speed sharpen. Deviljho grips and coil for later power 3. 50% affinity + reduced stamina depletion. A lot of slots. Lvl 1 and 2. And it looks great
been rocking a somewhat similar build (to your best build) but changing the gloves to nergigante. you'll lose one lvl of crit boost but gain 2 lvls of agitator and a slot as well as the 3 piece from nerg. With the right gems you'll also get a 100% affinity when agitator procs (and you don't need any affinity on your weapon) you can also swap out the helmet for nerg to max agitator with a charm, works pretty good as well. dunno if it's better though but agitator seems pretty strong
To get the extra 5% affinity just use attack jewels. One more level in attack you get the affinity bonus of level 4 attack or higher. You also get extra attack.
Maybe you could make a video for players showing like which upgrades/longswords you used throughout the game to get to your end game builds! That'd be neat to see.
I use hazaak grosser augmented to 20% affinity and sharp jewel. maximum might charm 2. dk eyepatch with tenderizer jewel use the brigade body (focus 2) and 2 lv 2 gems slots and i put 2 crit boost gems on it. xeno hands, nerg coil - maximum might jewel death stench feet. gives white sharpness, protective polish, WE3, maximum might 3, (100% affinity with weapon), crit boost 3, also has 3 extra level 1 slots on it. atm i use grinder jewels but might change it since i don’t need to sharpen much because of polish. could put on divine blessing ones, or miasma for vaal etc. leaves a lot of customization options for specific monsters
For the first build just build replace the Odogaron a and use Odogaron b because why have bleed res? and also because you can get one more jewel socket for more critical eye.
Kinda like sugar pills. You believe you are doing better because you look better, but in reality it was all your doing. None of these numbers telling you.
I believe I'm close to the best longsword build possible, it's incomplete because I don't have the jewels I need and there are a few pieces I'll replace when I can grind elders more but, currently I'm getting higher numbers than a lot of UA-cam videos and I'm speed running pretty well. Exterminations edge - attack jewel Dragon king eyepatch - grinder jewel Dober mail b - vitality jewel Nerg vambraces a Nerg coil b - fortitude jewel Nerg greaves a - steadfast jewel Exploiters charm You can see some things that would obviously be replaced, having a hard time with the jewel grind.
The set I'm working towards (missing some decorations) is: divine slasher, nerg helm beta, dober mail beta, teostra gloves beta, nerg waist beta, death stench legs beta, handicraft 3/attack 3/ speedsharpinging 3 or crit 3 charm, crit augment, elementless dec, weakness exploit Dec, 2 attack decs and 3 crit boost decs and 1 protective polish dec. Should work out to be atk boost 4/7, max might 2, weak ex 3, crit boost 3, handicraft 2/5, speed sharpening 0/3, crit eye 0/3 protective polish 1, elementless 1. Should workout to be 85 or 95% crit with sustainable white sharpness and 1.4 x crits? I'm gonna have to play around with the final damage to see which has the best overall sustained dps but I'm not sure if there is a higher damage alternative to that.
If you change to death stench heel you have handicraft lvl2 and 2 slots wich you can use for grinding jewels to speed the sharpening and use sharp jewel aswell so you have white sharpening you just lose 10% affinity from the maximum might but you gain white sharpness on hazak grosser
What is your angel of death build? What are the decorations on it? I really like the look of the armor but the negative Dragon resistance is bad. Nice Video!
Kirin is a special kind of elder dragon. It is not actually of the elder dragon species but by definition fits into that category. "When we can't fit a powerful monster into any category, we just lump it in with the Elder Dragons."
Hmmmm i always thought that "weakness" means not the elemental damage, i thought it means the weak bodypart of a monster.....so the the text dosent say that clearly.....are you sure it means the elemantal and not the bodypart which makes more sense in my opinion ? Anyway quit different build than mine. Helm: Death Stench B with Weak Deco Chest: Rathalos A Arms: Rathalos A Waist: Oradagon B with Atta Deco Legs: Oragon B With Atta Deco Charm: Masters charm lvl3 Sword: Xeno with Att decos and heroes stone for affinity. But i like ur builds also much.
Weakness Exploit is active on any raw hitzones of 45+, elemental does not factor into it at all. Basically if you go into your hunter's notes and look at the Monster Field guide any part of the monster that is highlighted red is a raw hitzone of 45+ and will activate WE.
joel walser he's talking about there being only a couple large+ monsters that are relevant that have resistance to dragon element, the rest of the time he's talking about the physical damage. As a hunter, you want to aim for the weak parts of all monsters anyways that almost all would know he's only talking about those times with WE. Most understand that he's not talking about having 80%+ raw affinity while hitting their non-weakness parts when talking about his WE sets. You can still hit that high of a raw number without WE if you want to go for a straight affinity and attack only (raw damage) build with some weapons and other workarounds, especially with decoration sets rather than base sets. I could be wrong but they might have more weaknesses too and it might also take a long time to farm the right jewels for the casual/busier player if the melder doesn't have them.
So i think I've found a better way to do the last build. Extermination's edge Grinder Jewl ( Can be anything though ) Rath soul helm B Attack Jewl x2 Rathalos Mail B Grinder Jewl ( Can be anything though ) Kaiser Vambraces B Sharp Jewel Nergigante Coil B Critical Jewel Nergigante Greaves B Critical Jewel mighty charm This gives me 95% Crit and the following skills Attack Boost 4 Critical Boost 3 Weakness Exploit 3 Maximum Might 3 Speed Sharpening 2 Protective Polosh You do need the right Decorations though.
All these builds are great however in my eyes it’s about dps and not just how hard u can hit, so I run Eye patch a Kusksa chest b Kaiser brace b Kirin hoop b ( for 3 slots) Death stench boots b Ear plug charm Divine slasher Decorations 2x ear plug Sharp Elementles Then 5x single slot gems which I switch out but mostly run 2x grinder and 3x steadfast. Skills given are Earplugs 5 Handicraft 4 Weakness exploit 3 Blight res 1 Plus 5 changeable gems. All elder dragons killed in 5-10 min. This is my end game set and earplugs in elders are huge since they all roar a lot
Also, you could change the "best build" weapon to something with 2 or 1 level 2/3 slots and add 'protective polish' and weakness exploit jewels(Xeno weapon perhaps?). This will free the gloves to nergigante/whatever else to unlock the nergi's special set bonus skill.
Y'know you could always counter the vs dragon weakness with 3 resistor gems nulifying all element blights. Also the Nergigante B set with Teostra/kaiser guantlets is pretty good too.
looks like a solid build however i feel that crit damage boost level 3 is not necessary for max damage output. the difference of from 30% to 40% with a longsword is only 1-3 more damage for most swings. since it does not work on the elemental crits. also i feel like the damage might be better if you use vaals long sword for more dragon damage and get a Gem that give you sharpness polish you would get much higher damage output with better quality of life. i feel like the xenogiva gloves are not needed in this guild at all. i would go for nergigante or possibly handicraft gloves of somekind. (not sure if vaals LS gets white sharpness.. )
I mean divine slasher is overall better but this build has more diversity and utility because it mainly works with any elemental weapon so you can choose
Hey quizz, I was waiting for you to go live and share this, but I'll show you why this is the best build: Attack Boost lvl 7 ( +50 damage +5% affinity) Weakness Exploit lvl 3 (50% more affinity on weakpoints) Maximun Might lvl 2 ( (+20% affinity) Protective Polish lvl 1 (That will keep your weapon from losing sharp for over 1 min+) Speed Sharpening lvl 3 Critical Boost lvl 1 (30% more damage on crits) Augment weapon 10% affinity 881 damage with non- elemental boost 85% affinity on weakpoints, 35% flat affinity Gear: Divine Slasher (Elementless Jewel 2) Nergigante Helm A ( Grinder Jewel 1) Dober Mail B (Sharp Jewel 2) Kaiser Vambraces A (Grinder Jewel 1) Nergigante Coil B (Tenderizer Jewel 2) Dober Greaves B (Grinder Jewel 1) Critical Charm I You're welcome, have fun boys You can also chose to change on chest "Sharp Jewel 2" for "Mighty Jewel 2" so you can have 95% affinity, but your sharpening will decrease, I prefer the non-stop fighting that gives Speed Sharpening lvl 3 + Protective Polish lvl 1. -Nazarick
you are wrong dude, critical boost I only boost your critical hits for +5%, coz without any boost on critical, your crits do 25% more dmg. so critical charm I is no worth at all, put the II or III
Best Raw Damage no, Try DK Eyepatch, Kushala Cista a Nergigante Vambraces a Nergigante Coil b Death Stench Heel b. Elementless Jewel 2 on the boots and Tenderizer Jewel 2 on the DK patch. keeping 3 slots for dec's
Quizzle, what is the best weapon for Palico after the endgame? I got the Xeno armor for him, but what would be the best? Thanks for the longsword and armor build up. I'll be sure to buff up my armor pieces too.
Nice video. The problem with nergigante sword is you can’t add sharpness to it. And white sharpness gives you 5% more damage than blue,if I’m not wrong
this is weird...i didnt realize you were the same channel i was going to for evil within 2 guides months ago and now ive been watching your mhw videos.
Great video, informative and with numbers. Question. How do you think what is the best LS in game after augmentation is opened? I feel like before augmentation this could be one and after another. What is your opinion.
For the raw damage build, Couldnt you just use the Nirgigante LS instead to counter the low sharpnes? You'd lose a tad bit of damage but the extra uptime from alot more sharpness would be more than worth it I think :) Then you'd also have those extra slots free amd wouldnt have to spend them on grinder jewels either
Hey Quizzle, Can you weigh in on the Divine Slasher vs Extermination's Edge debate? Obviously you have Extermination's Edge in your "best build", but i was hoping you could give me a little more insight as i have been seeing a lot of hype around the Divine Slasher lately. Thank you,
What do you use for augmentation on the divine slasher? Also I used a kushala chest to give me that white sharpness and replaced the tenderizer with a sharpness jewel, but what I was thinking is if you added a gem slot with augment you could move the protection jewel from the kusha chest to the augment slot on divine slasher and put in a a critical jewel into the kusha charts or even a draw jewel maybe? Idk but if anyone has any suggestions that might be better I would love the advice. That white sharpness boosted me to 852 in attack (I know that there is other values to be put in) if that made any difference?
Love the video! Really helped me a lot :) I have a question though: what do you think about changing the best set's nerg greaves into death stench and change maximum might into handicraft lv5? will that make a lot of damage difference? I don't know the exact math, but does the higher affinity beat the higher sharpness? Once again, your videos really helped me a lot!
Would the Hazak grosser variant of the last build be better than a DS elementless build? I’d assume so for 3* weak to dragon but not sure if it’s good for general use.
I dont have any of those decorations nor will I see them anytime soon lol. I’m lvl 35 and have found one attack jewel in all my 165h of play... I opted for a more well rounded build Dragonking eyepatch Dober mail chest Nergi waist Teostra gloves Daora boots IIRC I have lvl 3 weakness Lvl 6 or 7 attack because I am still wearing fair wind charm. No mats for attack charm upgrade. Just a placeholder atm. I like to stay well rounded so at a moments notice I can swap weapons and still stay optimal at best. Without certain niche skills only applying to sharpness. I swap in bows a lot. So that oda set is useless.
Quizzle, mind making an overall bow build that revolves around spamming dragon pierce? Great LS build tho, liked and subbed. Imma copy pasta this build
what happend to the meta being 3 peice of tao and i forget what the other two were trying to find high rank end game builds these days is such a pain when everyone is just building random now
I got divine slasher with 950 with food. I have attack +7 and handicraft +5, agitator +2 divine protection +3 and 180hp with vitality jewel... I think my set is the best balanced. White sharpness is pretty good with handicraft+5 that's like around 12% raw damage from blue. I just need that jewel that prevents sharpness to go down.. I forgot to mention my mixed set looks nice and not ugly.
Javier Chávez Rathalos helm beta Dober mail beta Nergigante vambrace beta Nergigante coil beta Death stench heel beta handicraft charm +3 (max) Elementless jewel Divine protection +3 jewels Vitality jewel +2 (or u can put 3 and remove 1 divine protection jewel) Attack jewel +1 (if u do not have, use nergigante alpha vambrace instead of beta)
If u wanna go full raw damage, farm agitator jewel and remove either divine protection or vitality jewel and u will have the best DPS weapon in game for LS.
Im confused. For tempered 9* monsters you need hp+ and def+ to withstand even 1 hit sometimes. I also have recovery above the red missing section and recovery speed x4 speed. I use blast long sword and blast neck decorations. No more room left then. Does def and hp not matter and i need to dodge every attack or risk falling?
Hey bud been using the raw damage build with my own variation on it. I'm using a partbreaker lvl 2 charm and a partbreaker jewel what's your opinion on partbreaker?
Just a general tip for the Odogaron Set as many people us it. Do not use the Alpha Chest. Get the Beta piece. You get a nice slot and all you lose is bleed resistance which is useless anyways.
Agreed, I did this and put a critical eye jewel in the second
These sets are just for starters to work their way up... I highly recomend this to those new players who wear it for style..
This is honestly the best build video I've found so far. I'd love to see you make a video with other weapon types like bows or glaives. You just earned yourself a new sub regardless :)
Best Longsword Build ive crafted.
Divine slasher - Attack Jewel
Handicraft Charm
Dragon Eye Patch - Critical Jewel
Dober Mail B - Critical Jewel
Kaiser Vambraces B - Critical Jewel
Nergigante Coil B - Elementless Jewel
Death Stench Heel B - 2 x Attack Jewel
Affinity Boost, Rock Steady Mantle
This set contains the following:
Attack Boost 7
Critical Boost 3
Weakness Exploit 3
Handicraft 5
Non-Elemental Boost
Divine Slasher WHITE Sharpness / 832 Attack
%15 percent natural affinity when Augmented.
Armor (maxed out) = 453
Fire resist 5
Water resist 0
Thunder resist -5
Ice resist 0
Dragon resist -2
One can remove 2 attack gems to instead add 6% affinity due to the fact that affinity no longer increases after attack boost 5. To reach a natural 21% affinity for a 71% affinity boost when attacking weakpoints.
Paired with the Affinity Boost to have 100% affinity boost so long as its active. (And give affinity to fellow hunters who greatly appreciate it)
High damage, decent resistances (that dont hit -10+) and affinity support for team hunts.
Also for you Fashion Hunters. Match the Eyepatch to the same shade of brown as the surrounding eyepatch. Turn all other armor pieces red to match the kaiser gauntlets and you tadaaaah Powerful Build + Fashion.
Edit: I have further refined the build by supplementing an additional Critical Boost Gem into a socket and replaced the handicraft gem that was on the Slasher itself with another attack jewel. In addition I swapped the no longer needed Critical Boost Charm with a Handicraft Charm to gain the maximum benefit of Max Handicraft. I realized 3 handicraft only gave about 6 swings of white sharpness before getting to blue which doesnt exactly lend to a consistent damage build which is what I was going for.
This build trades circumstantial events (such as small bursts of increased damage when the monster is enraged) for consistent damage that lasts all hunt.
MaleficArken Im HR 15 rn and i've created the armour you told us about but i don't have any jewels or the Divine Slasher. It would be helpful if you could tell me a fast way to farm jewels and get the divine slasher.
RaijinXV There is a new Event hunt currently out that is 6* rank that gives a lot of decorations. Currently that is a fantastic way to gain some decorations.
Keep in mind that all of the gems are level 1 or 2 so you dont have to farm tempered elder dragons for them. Do not neglect the Elder Melder. Since you will be stacking a lot of gems you can take advantage of getting rid of ones you will never use.
To get the Divine Slasher, you have to do Arena Quests (located in the gathering hub) as it is a guild weapon that utilizes coins.
Another tip. Elementless works with Blast Weapons as well.
Edit: Farming Tempered Elder Dragons is always good however, so you can gain the augmentation items and potential for future builds.
Nick Krits I myself dont consider Earplugs a must have. This is because a lot of people do not realize something about Monster Roar, many can be dodged depending on the severity of the roar.
Monsters with a long roar are typically those that you cannot roll through so earplugs is a boon. However a well timed roll can render you immune to that monster roar without having to invest all those points into earplugs.
I dont consider it necessary because i try to time all my dodges with the monsters roar. Its a good practice to have as youll end up learning what you can and cant roll through.
Nick Krits they have an animation. There are no health bars or anything numerical to tell you its going to roar. Fighting a monster long enough youll end up knowing what movements is does when it roars.
Typically, youll see it take in a dee breath and rear or flick its head to then open its mouth and let out a roar.
Example. The first time you see a monster and attack it, it will always let out a roar. You can train rolling through this. Likewise when they get enraged they always change visually and let out a roar, you can practice during these times as well.
MaleficArken imo earplugs are useless in the game with the LS as you can stop it with the counter dodge attack ( R2 + O ) Not only does this make you unaffected it also fills your gauge if your ls hits the monster
Run a beta Odoggo top instead and slot in a more useful skill than Bleed Resist.
When you get more decorations you'll realize how garbage base gear is. It's all about the decoration slots.
Dragon ologist yes sirrrr
Dragon ologist I
What are some good ones?
@RMCF, thats really depend on your build, but in general i can say;
WE, attack, CE, elementless damage, quick sheath, focus, Capacity Boost, Constitution, Critical Boost, Critical Draw, Evade Extender, Evade Window, maximum might, stamina surge, handicraft, piearcing/spread shot.
and micology if you want more cheep consumable health and boosts.
I think you can do even better with the divine slasher
If you use divene slasher
eye patch α
dober armor β
nerg hands α
nerg pants β
deathsstench boots β
handicraft charm
you then have 3 3deco slots 1 2 deco slot and 2 1 deco slots
you can then put 2 attack decos in the 1 slots for attack up 7
get an elemtless and a weakness exploit jewel for more raw power and the weakness exploit lvl 3
and have still have two lvl 3 deco slots for free use maybe agitator if a deco exist for it
over all you would have
weakness eploit lvl 3
attack up lvl 7
agitator lvl 2
non element boost lvl 1
handicraft lvl 5 for a nice long white sharpness
and 2 lvl 3 decos left
so your crit would be at 55% for weakpoints
61% if enraged and on a weakpoint
and 71% if you augment the weapon
and you can still get boost from corallorchestra if you play solo
With that build i sometimes reach over 1.2k attack in solo player and we all know that raw damage is better than elemental damage
Would appreciate it if you would take a look at this build
This is the actual best build for Longsword. In fact you can get a Protective Polish gem and replace the attack gems for grinder gems to stay at White sharpness forever which will in the long term give you more damage than 6 True Raw.
Which weapon?
could i use exterminations edge with this
no u cannot, because ext edge cannot work with handicraft, and that's the reason why divine slasher is the single best long sword end game,I mean end game
thank you I'm trying to grind out the coins necessary for the blade as well as the cloth for the death stench ill defiantly try this build
I like how you break it down mate. Very thorough thank you
Need someone like You for all the weapons. But you are my go to for the long sword.
Hey I'm working on a tempered dragon set, still working out the details but it is intended to be versatile with a good mix of survival and damage.
Guild Cross Helm Beta - T1 x 3 - This gives you the versatility, you can slot 3 miasma, 3 attack, 3 elemental, 3 vitality; it's a great helm and it has no weaknesses (0 weakness/resistances) - Also grants Divine Blessing 2, cause why not.
Brigade Suit Beta - T2 x 2 - It is the ONLY armor in the game that gives more than one T2 slot, also 0 Res/weak; finished Divine Blessing.
Kaiser Vambraces Alpha - T1 x 1 - Weakness Exploit level 2 - 1 Resistance to dragon.
Dober Coil Alpha - T2 x 1 - Dragon Resist Level 2 + Attack level 1; also has 4 dragon innate resistance with mild negatives.
Kushala Crus Beta - T3 x 1 - Evade Extender level 2; haven't finalized on this one, but the key is having another T2 or T3 slot.
Handicraft Charm III - Should push you to white sharpness, if not available on the weapon can be switched for something like Attack 3.
The big focus with this build is on minimal weaknesses, a strong resistance to dragon, and SLOTS!
This would give you FOUR tier 1 slots; THREE tier 2 slots; and a tier 3. - As mentioned the Tier 1 can be used very broadly including 3 miasma decorations + 1 attack.
The Tier 2 allow you to add 3 decorations of critical boost, 3 max might, 3 part breaker, 3 slugger; it really opens up possibilities.
The tier 3 can be an extension of the tier 2, finish weakness exploit, protective polish, non-element.
Of course I would recommend a weapon with at least one tier 2+ slot.
Biggest weakness to this build is the sheer dependency on decorations; without a good amount of rare decorations, the build falls very "meh"; plus the build requires grinding in the arena missions...UGH!
This game requires ridiculous amounts of grinding, i’m nearly 100hrs in about to fight Vaal Hazak (already beat Teo, Nerg and Kushala) and i’m still not even close to having the gear that I want. I don’t have one long sword of each element type, I don’t have an ice long sword or an adequate fire long sword, I don’t have the armor pieces that I want. Then when I enter master rank all my armor becomes worthless and I have to grind all over again. It is exhausting
I miss playing mh. The last I played is mhfu. And one of my favorite weapon is long sword too. My favorite melee set for that is combination of black diablos and azure rathalos and added decorations to fill the missing skill pts, that has skills of artisan: so that my attack won't bounce even if in its lowest sharpness, high grade earplug: for total immune to scream, fast sharpening, reckless abandon 1: for criticals.
Fast charge skill is also good for long sword too, u can build your spirit gauge fast with less normal attacks. 👍
Yup this might actually be THE strongest damage build for Longsword in the Game right now if you do not want to work with Heroics. I will probably craft it myelf when I get all the jewels needed (Attack/Crit Eye)
For End-Game content: Yes the Damage might be crazy, but until you have augmented/upgraded everything to the maximum Armor, try to use the skill Healthboost (up to +50 HP stacking with food-/itembuff) and slot in some elemental resistance or just raw defense!
Especially HR 49+ Monsters can completely 1-Hit kill you, if you run pure damage builds on only 150 hp!
Highmetal Braces Beta for example give +2 Healthboost and one level 1 slot (Healthboost jewels are level 1). One of my most favourite armorpieces at the moment ;)
Love the video even though I’ll still just be wearing the xeno gear because it looks the coolest
LOL same. I watched a lot of build videos but then I was like nah I will just wear a full Xeno set for the look instead. XD
I do the Vaal gear looks cool and has regen
I do the same amount of damage whit the xeno gear and decorations
Yeah you like to look as a butterfly?
Hahah so you’re dying in game and causing people to fail hunts because you want to look cool, yes I hope I never get stuck with you, you do realize with most sets you only need three pieces for your bonus stat and mix in a 2 piece gear for that stat bonus and still look cool, ps, Xeno armor isn’t that great you look like a fking glowing fly.
For LS, or any other non GL weapon that burns through sharpness, I have: Kaiser Crown B, Rathalos Mail B, Kaiser Vambraces B, Odogaron Coil B, Kaiser Greaves B, Master's Charm 3, 3 Crit Boost jewels, & 2 Crit Eye Jewels. The set gives Critical Eye 7, Weakness Exploit 3, Latent Power 3, Crit Boost and Master's Touch.
Latent Power isn't super necessary, though if for some reason you aren't able to attack a weak point, while LP is active you'll still have a 60% chance to Crit, not including you weapon's Affinity. A weapon with at least 20% Affinity, including any Affinity augments, can get 100% while attacking weak points, without LP needing to trigger.
The Skills "Critical Boost" is mistranslated in the Game. The damage of affinity attacks is 125%, so you get 25% Bonusdamage when you landing a Crit. The Skill raises the damage not by 30%, but the bonusdamage you do with affinity attacks is increased TO 30%. so in the end you deal 130% attack damage with affinity attacks. Getting a Critical Boost +3 is far better than +1 and i don't recommend using just the lvl 1 skill because the extra damage you deal is very low in comparison.
^this
finally someone know how stuff work.
Kysuma Yeah, it's poorly explained so you can't blame people for not knowing.
i don't blame anyone, i'm happy to see someone that know how this stuff works
I try to put affinity and critical boost and it's imposible... there's no point to put 40% of critical damage if u can't do critical damage in all yout hits... I prefer do normal criticals in 100% of my hits than doing 40% of extra damge 30% of my hits
If u can put critical boost lvl 3 and affinity around 80% tell me how.
I wouldn't consider the last build not being "strong to dragon" as a weakness. You're playing off of elemental damage with the set and there doesn't seem to be anything in it that requires you to use Extermination's Edge. Just swap out the weapon and maybe a couple jewels and there you go. It may not be the absolute strongest against each element, but like you already stated this build is flexible and will deal significant damage regardless of the weapon equipped.
I'm new to mhw and I'm using the xeno jiiva longsword with eye patch and odogaron set. I'm HR49 so still working on a lot of stuff. There's plenty of room for improvement but this set seems amazing so far. Just enough white sharpness works great with the odo 4pc. Currently at max crit eye and will have max weakness exploit when I get the damn deco. Great starter set for anyone looking to get into tempered i feel.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here but the ratholos mastery works for all elements so you can just switch out your sword to an element the monster is weakest to, removing what you considered the biggest flaw of that armor set.
Hazak slicer 2, and using full suit of Vaal Hazak. with nothing but attack n shapness gems. works great with nearly infinite HP
Critical Boost is the best skill in the game, but it's nothing without Weakness Exploit. Attack Boost is probably the easiest way to increase your damage and you can get plus 7 very easily after HR29, followed by Agitator and elementless. Maximum Might plus Weakness Exploit can easily get you 100% affinity. Finally, if you can get a Protective Polish decoration you're pretty much set.
Gavin Erickson Totally, i like your idea better. What abour handicraft annd partbreaker, having the white sharpness sure must be important too?
Thank you Quizzle
You need to hit the weak part of the monster to active the Weakness Exploit skill. And for most monsters the weak part is their head, and only their head. So it's really hard to get the 100% crit unless you can constantly hit the head.
Goku & Chestnut umm that is misinformed info the weakpoints aren't always the head there are many that are weak by their tail, front legs, and chest. I use a great sword or switch axe so I usually have no choice but to pick my attacks, so I know the head is not always going to be your focus.
That's why I mentioned "MOST"
On Brute Force swap the attack charm to handicraft and swap the legs to Nergigante Beta and put a protective polish gem in it. You lose 9 raw and some of the bonus from Agitator but gain the white sharpness modifier and a way to maintain it fairly easily, which ends up giving you significantly more damage in the end.
I like my personal one xeno torso waist and legs. The glasses for head and Damascus arms. The main points about this set is getting razor sharp, handicraft and power prolonger. That power prolonger makes the long swords charge last longer. Meaning your red sword lasts long enough to take full advantage of that charge level. So you don't have to focus so much on getting your red back again.
Oh yeah. And handicraft charm.
Also I got lucky and got a protective Polish Jwl.
Odogaron build - exchange alpha mail for beta to gain a slot and get rid of bleeding resistance, change handicraft charm for master charm to max out critical eye
yo dude great guides and build ideas, through the knowledge you passed on i found a pretty hefty build that surpasses the damage potential of every class on here
weapon: divine slasher
rath soul healm b
kushala cista b
kaiser vambraces b
nergigante coil b
death stench b
exploiter charm 2
decorations: elementless jewel, expert jewel (three of them), critical jewel (two of them), sharp jewel, and an attack jewel. Thanks for the content again man try it out sometime
Do you know how long I be been waiting for this VIDEO FINALLY !!!!!!
Leon S Kennedy hard to figure out a build?
ARG Point Break no I just want to see the best builds
this is nowhere near close to the best. no augments, and longsword scales far better off raw attack
Deathwish Dinner Theatre then what's the best build
considering the fact different monsters have different resistances, a raw damage and crit build won't be the best. there are no best builds. do what you like and learn from it
Hey @quizzle i love the prof.layton music in the background it makes the video more exciting and mysterious to me
Rookslayer. Nergigante legs body and head. For maximum might 3, and stamina surge 2. And hp regen. Or you can put odogoron mail on instead for speed sharpen. Deviljho grips and coil for later power 3. 50% affinity + reduced stamina depletion. A lot of slots. Lvl 1 and 2. And it looks great
been rocking a somewhat similar build (to your best build) but changing the gloves to nergigante. you'll lose one lvl of crit boost but gain 2 lvls of agitator and a slot as well as the 3 piece from nerg. With the right gems you'll also get a 100% affinity when agitator procs (and you don't need any affinity on your weapon) you can also swap out the helmet for nerg to max agitator with a charm, works pretty good as well. dunno if it's better though but agitator seems pretty strong
To get the extra 5% affinity just use attack jewels. One more level in attack you get the affinity bonus of level 4 attack or higher. You also get extra attack.
Super helpful guide! Gave me a lot of ideas to work with. Thanks!
Maybe you could make a video for players showing like which upgrades/longswords you used throughout the game to get to your end game builds! That'd be neat to see.
I use
hazaak grosser augmented to 20% affinity and sharp jewel.
maximum might charm 2.
dk eyepatch with tenderizer jewel
use the brigade body (focus 2) and 2 lv 2 gems slots and i put 2 crit boost gems on it.
xeno hands,
nerg coil - maximum might jewel
death stench feet.
gives white sharpness, protective polish, WE3, maximum might 3, (100% affinity with weapon), crit boost 3, also has 3 extra level 1 slots on it. atm i use grinder jewels but might change it since i don’t need to sharpen much because of polish. could put on divine blessing ones, or miasma for vaal etc. leaves a lot of customization options for specific monsters
also use samurai hands feet and waist so my outfit doesn’t look too hideous
For the first build just build replace the Odogaron a and use Odogaron b because why have bleed res? and also because you can get one more jewel socket for more critical eye.
Amazing video, especially for me as a 1st time hunter. Thank you.
Great overall set....however I see one fault tho....it's so UGLY to look at. lol xD
Keep up the good work, Q
rave cosmo
Looks over skills xD my philosophy. I’ll adapt to the skills im missing just to look damn good doing it!
Kinda like sugar pills. You believe you are doing better because you look better, but in reality it was all your doing. None of these numbers telling you.
race cosmo it’d be nice if they had glamour shards like in ffxiv to make it look like a different price of clothing
St- Valantyne same lmao fashion hunter world right xD
There's a layered armor set that's a samurai, which kind of matches the longsword aesthetic
I just use the nergigante armor with the chestpiece swapped out for the Dober beta. Looks a lot better and still boosts your damage to decent heights.
another rly good one is a max crit build with indago or any longsword with at least 10% affinity
I believe I'm close to the best longsword build possible, it's incomplete because I don't have the jewels I need and there are a few pieces I'll replace when I can grind elders more but, currently I'm getting higher numbers than a lot of UA-cam videos and I'm speed running pretty well.
Exterminations edge - attack jewel
Dragon king eyepatch - grinder jewel
Dober mail b - vitality jewel
Nerg vambraces a
Nerg coil b - fortitude jewel
Nerg greaves a - steadfast jewel
Exploiters charm
You can see some things that would obviously be replaced, having a hard time with the jewel grind.
The set I'm working towards (missing some decorations) is: divine slasher, nerg helm beta, dober mail beta, teostra gloves beta, nerg waist beta, death stench legs beta, handicraft 3/attack 3/ speedsharpinging 3 or crit 3 charm, crit augment, elementless dec, weakness exploit Dec, 2 attack decs and 3 crit boost decs and 1 protective polish dec. Should work out to be atk boost 4/7, max might 2, weak ex 3, crit boost 3, handicraft 2/5, speed sharpening 0/3, crit eye 0/3 protective polish 1, elementless 1. Should workout to be 85 or 95% crit with sustainable white sharpness and 1.4 x crits? I'm gonna have to play around with the final damage to see which has the best overall sustained dps but I'm not sure if there is a higher damage alternative to that.
"hero streamstone, which is pretty hard to get" but then you remember how you got the divine slasher so nothing scares you
@Quizzle First soundtrack "masterpiece"? Nice video !
If you change to death stench heel you have handicraft lvl2 and 2 slots wich you can use for grinding jewels to speed the sharpening and use sharp jewel aswell so you have white sharpening you just lose 10% affinity from the maximum might but you gain white sharpness on hazak grosser
Also you can get that 10% back cause you can augment 2 times
This is the one true godly Long sword build from the LS God Quizzle
great video loved the tekken music def will be farming for more decorations. I feel I never get what I need.
For those that hate how the last build has a blue helm and a red chest, just hide the helm and the set still looks pretty decent.
What is your angel of death build? What are the decorations on it? I really like the look of the armor but the negative Dragon resistance is bad. Nice Video!
Kirin is a special kind of elder dragon. It is not actually of the elder dragon species but by definition fits into that category.
"When we can't fit a powerful monster into any category, we just lump it in with the Elder Dragons."
Level 12 Lobster it's crazy but tempered kirin is the hardest fight in the game
Hmmmm i always thought that "weakness" means not the elemental damage, i thought it means the weak bodypart of a monster.....so the the text dosent say that clearly.....are you sure it means the elemantal and not the bodypart which makes more sense in my opinion ? Anyway quit different build than mine.
Helm: Death Stench B with Weak Deco
Chest: Rathalos A
Arms: Rathalos A
Waist: Oradagon B with Atta Deco
Legs: Oragon B With Atta Deco
Charm: Masters charm lvl3
Sword: Xeno with Att decos and heroes stone for affinity.
But i like ur builds also much.
Weakness Exploit is active on any raw hitzones of 45+, elemental does not factor into it at all. Basically if you go into your hunter's notes and look at the Monster Field guide any part of the monster that is highlighted red is a raw hitzone of 45+ and will activate WE.
OrderSho yeah thats what i think too, but how he is explaining it, he means just the elemental damage doesnt he ?
joel walser he's talking about there being only a couple large+ monsters that are relevant that have resistance to dragon element, the rest of the time he's talking about the physical damage. As a hunter, you want to aim for the weak parts of all monsters anyways that almost all would know he's only talking about those times with WE. Most understand that he's not talking about having 80%+ raw affinity while hitting their non-weakness parts when talking about his WE sets.
You can still hit that high of a raw number without WE if you want to go for a straight affinity and attack only (raw damage) build with some weapons and other workarounds, especially with decoration sets rather than base sets. I could be wrong but they might have more weaknesses too and it might also take a long time to farm the right jewels for the casual/busier player if the melder doesn't have them.
Very interesting video :D i like the way you are explaining stuff ^^
just a combo guide now, and i will be happy for a long time :D
So i think I've found a better way to do the last build.
Extermination's edge Grinder Jewl ( Can be anything though )
Rath soul helm B Attack Jewl x2
Rathalos Mail B Grinder Jewl ( Can be anything though )
Kaiser Vambraces B Sharp Jewel
Nergigante Coil B Critical Jewel
Nergigante Greaves B Critical Jewel
mighty charm
This gives me 95% Crit and the following skills
Attack Boost 4
Critical Boost 3
Weakness Exploit 3
Maximum Might 3
Speed Sharpening 2
Protective Polosh
You do need the right Decorations though.
Thank you for this man loving your videos, subscribed!!
When you don’t have iceborn
dont have money yet lol
LOVE the Professor Layton music
All these builds are great however in my eyes it’s about dps and not just how hard u can hit, so I run
Eye patch a
Kusksa chest b
Kaiser brace b
Kirin hoop b ( for 3 slots)
Death stench boots b
Ear plug charm
Divine slasher
Decorations
2x ear plug
Sharp
Elementles
Then 5x single slot gems which I switch out but mostly run 2x grinder and 3x steadfast.
Skills given are
Earplugs 5
Handicraft 4
Weakness exploit 3
Blight res 1
Plus 5 changeable gems.
All elder dragons killed in 5-10 min.
This is my end game set and earplugs in elders are huge since they all roar a lot
Love the explanation, i just hate mixing sets because of OCD of the set looking bad 😂
now, i can't decide if i want to play bow or longsword.. thanks Quizzle
You could optimize this build further if you utilized teostra's gloves (Weakness exploit 3).
Also, you could change the "best build" weapon to something with 2 or 1 level 2/3
slots and add 'protective polish' and weakness exploit jewels(Xeno weapon perhaps?). This will free the gloves to nergigante/whatever else to unlock the nergi's special set bonus skill.
Y'know you could always counter the vs dragon weakness with 3 resistor gems nulifying all element blights. Also the Nergigante B set with Teostra/kaiser guantlets is pretty good too.
looks like a solid build however i feel that crit damage boost level 3 is not necessary for max damage output. the difference of from 30% to 40% with a longsword is only 1-3 more damage for most swings. since it does not work on the elemental crits. also i feel like the damage might be better if you use vaals long sword for more dragon damage and get a Gem that give you sharpness polish you would get much higher damage output with better quality of life. i feel like the xenogiva gloves are not needed in this guild at all. i would go for nergigante or possibly handicraft gloves of somekind. (not sure if vaals LS gets white sharpness..
)
I think you forget about Rathalos Mastery allowing your elemental damage to crit.
I mean divine slasher is overall better but this build has more diversity and utility because it mainly works with any elemental weapon so you can choose
Hey quizz, I was waiting for you to go live and share this, but I'll show you why this is the best build:
Attack Boost lvl 7 ( +50 damage +5% affinity)
Weakness Exploit lvl 3 (50% more affinity on weakpoints)
Maximun Might lvl 2 ( (+20% affinity)
Protective Polish lvl 1 (That will keep your weapon from losing sharp for over 1 min+)
Speed Sharpening lvl 3
Critical Boost lvl 1 (30% more damage on crits)
Augment weapon 10% affinity
881 damage with non- elemental boost
85% affinity on weakpoints, 35% flat affinity
Gear:
Divine Slasher (Elementless Jewel 2)
Nergigante Helm A ( Grinder Jewel 1)
Dober Mail B (Sharp Jewel 2)
Kaiser Vambraces A (Grinder Jewel 1)
Nergigante Coil B (Tenderizer Jewel 2)
Dober Greaves B (Grinder Jewel 1)
Critical Charm I
You're welcome, have fun boys
You can also chose to change on chest "Sharp Jewel 2" for "Mighty Jewel 2" so you can have 95% affinity, but your sharpening will decrease, I prefer the non-stop fighting that gives Speed Sharpening lvl 3 + Protective Polish lvl 1.
-Nazarick
you are wrong dude, critical boost I only boost your critical hits for +5%, coz without any boost on critical, your crits do 25% more dmg. so critical charm I is no worth at all, put the II or III
You should do this for all the weapons. You'd be the first. Great. Earned a sub.
Best Raw Damage no, Try DK Eyepatch, Kushala Cista a Nergigante Vambraces a Nergigante Coil b Death Stench Heel b. Elementless Jewel 2 on the boots and Tenderizer Jewel 2 on the DK patch. keeping 3 slots for dec's
What decorations are you using on your xeno set
Quizzle, what is the best weapon for Palico after the endgame? I got the Xeno armor for him, but what would be the best? Thanks for the longsword and armor build up. I'll be sure to buff up my armor pieces too.
Nice video. The problem with nergigante sword is you can’t add sharpness to it. And white sharpness gives you 5% more damage than blue,if I’m not wrong
It's 12% more
Hey! Whats the song that's playing at the 9 minute mark? Great info and thanks for the insight!
this is weird...i didnt realize you were the same channel i was going to for evil within 2 guides months ago and now ive been watching your mhw videos.
Can you do a video on the commission armor? It seems no one has even uploaded a video or even a simple image on the 100% armor.
Now make a builds for the hammer, I've been trying to and stressing over it.
Great video, informative and with numbers. Question. How do you think what is the best LS in game after augmentation is opened? I feel like before augmentation this could be one and after another. What is your opinion.
nice guide. What do u got in ur weapm as augmention? didnt saw it
For the raw damage build, Couldnt you just use the Nirgigante LS instead to counter the low sharpnes? You'd lose a tad bit of damage but the extra uptime from alot more sharpness would be more than worth it I think :) Then you'd also have those extra slots free amd wouldnt have to spend them on grinder jewels either
I love the looks of the vaal hazak armor can u do good builds with it for the longsword?
where u been bro?
What's in the xeno build. Like decos and such
Hey Quizzle, Can you weigh in on the Divine Slasher vs Extermination's Edge debate?
Obviously you have Extermination's Edge in your "best build", but i was hoping you could give me a little more insight as i have been seeing a lot of hype around the Divine Slasher lately.
Thank you,
What do you use for augmentation on the divine slasher? Also I used a kushala chest to give me that white sharpness and replaced the tenderizer with a sharpness jewel, but what I was thinking is if you added a gem slot with augment you could move the protection jewel from the kusha chest to the augment slot on divine slasher and put in a a critical jewel into the kusha charts or even a draw jewel maybe? Idk but if anyone has any suggestions that might be better I would love the advice. That white sharpness boosted me to 852 in attack (I know that there is other values to be put in) if that made any difference?
Love the video! Really helped me a lot :)
I have a question though: what do you think about changing the best set's nerg greaves into death stench and change maximum might into handicraft lv5? will that make a lot of damage difference? I don't know the exact math, but does the higher affinity beat the higher sharpness?
Once again, your videos really helped me a lot!
This is a great video 🖒 can you make one build for the charge blade ?
This is better:
divine slasher
nerg helm
daora chest
teostra gloves
nerg waist
nerg legs
attack charm/crit boost
Gems: elementless, sharp, tenderiser, crit boost
Would the Hazak grosser variant of the last build be better than a DS elementless build? I’d assume so for 3* weak to dragon but not sure if it’s good for general use.
Hey Quizzle, what is the blue ticket needed for handicraft charm 3? Love the vid bro.
Hey Quizzle Nice build I have 1 Question what augmention have you on your Extermination's Edge ?
I dont have any of those decorations nor will I see them anytime soon lol. I’m lvl 35 and have found one attack jewel in all my 165h of play...
I opted for a more well rounded build
Dragonking eyepatch
Dober mail chest
Nergi waist
Teostra gloves
Daora boots
IIRC I have lvl 3 weakness
Lvl 6 or 7 attack because I am still wearing fair wind charm. No mats for attack charm upgrade. Just a placeholder atm. I like to stay well rounded so at a moments notice I can swap weapons and still stay optimal at best. Without certain niche skills only applying to sharpness. I swap in bows a lot. So that oda set is useless.
St- Valantyne most of the offensive based gems seems to only drop at tempered elders
yep. in fact until past hr50 its near impossible to farm deco
Kysuma
Farmed a few with friends and get the same duplicate resistance gems. Fml the grind is real!
Aaron Mustermann
Im 58 now with 260 but I do have a lot of friends that just started so we all been helping eachother gear up and such.
i want that handicraft charm lvl 3 but i don't know where the green print is,i heard you have to complete all the optional quests
I need a build pre gems due to the fact I haven't gotten them yet
Quizzle, mind making an overall bow build that revolves around spamming dragon pierce? Great LS build tho, liked and subbed. Imma copy pasta this build
That Bryan tekken 4 theme tho.
what happend to the meta being 3 peice of tao and i forget what the other two were trying to find high rank end game builds these days is such a pain when everyone is just building random now
I got divine slasher with 950 with food. I have attack +7 and handicraft +5, agitator +2 divine protection +3 and 180hp with vitality jewel... I think my set is the best balanced. White sharpness is pretty good with handicraft+5 that's like around 12% raw damage from blue. I just need that jewel that prevents sharpness to go down.. I forgot to mention my mixed set looks nice and not ugly.
crankyboiy what's the set your using? I would like to use it
Javier Chávez
Rathalos helm beta
Dober mail beta
Nergigante vambrace beta
Nergigante coil beta
Death stench heel beta
handicraft charm +3 (max)
Elementless jewel
Divine protection +3 jewels
Vitality jewel +2 (or u can put 3 and remove 1 divine protection jewel)
Attack jewel +1 (if u do not have, use nergigante alpha vambrace instead of beta)
If u wanna go full raw damage, farm agitator jewel and remove either divine protection or vitality jewel and u will have the best DPS weapon in game for LS.
Im confused. For tempered 9* monsters you need hp+ and def+ to withstand even 1 hit sometimes. I also have recovery above the red missing section and recovery speed x4 speed. I use blast long sword and blast neck decorations. No more room left then. Does def and hp not matter and i need to dodge every attack or risk falling?
Love this build thank you
Hey bud been using the raw damage build with my own variation on it. I'm using a partbreaker lvl 2 charm and a partbreaker jewel what's your opinion on partbreaker?
Very helpful, thank you
