    Want a 15% damage boost, just by pressing a single button on your controller?
    well here it is, folks, the single best damage booster in the game!
    You just might be using it already, but in all likelihood, you're not using it correctly, and you're leaving a ton of damage on the table.
    Can you guess what it is?
    Did you say heroics? well, that is powerful, but it takes more than a single button press to activate.
    Fortitude? ok, also powerful, but also harder to activate.
    Coming in right behind those two, and even more powerful than Attack Boost 7, is....

    Offensive guard is by far my favorite skill in MH right now. Easy to prock it makes playing lance that much more rewarding. Not only are you a wall you get an easy damage boost for playing well. Looking forward to that sns guard slash video. It is a technique I don't have nay experience with.

  • @RayPoreon

    If you get enough guard skill to block a hit without being launched back then sword and shield can also reliably use guard slash to proc offensive guard while waiting for wirebugs to recharge etc. Which means it can have some crazy up-time, especially if you opt to box the monster instead of going into perfect rush after the automatic shield bash it gives. Even then simply knowing that I can guard point stuff at will has boosted my survivability on the sns massively.

      Honestly guard slash is now my fav move for SnS, not only can guard any attack with it with the right amount of skills, but most of the time you can go straight into the fury combo straight from it and now I use it more then the switch skills. Wish I learnt about this sooner

    Offensive Guard is great, for starter you can just spam Guard Slash and it will activate once a monster hit you, timing is important but even without it within 3 to 5 times spamming Guard Slash it will just activated

    Can confirm that this skill alone majes any loadout with sns that much more destructive.
    I mostly go for a more defensive or regen-focused set-up that lets me almost completely negate my need to stop and heal. Only offensive skills I got are offensive guard, the respective element attack up, a single level of slugger, and element exploit should that weapon have it right now.
    To help ensure I can actually make use of each proc, I emphasize both Guard Slash and the Metsu with some basic blocks all wrapped up with max level guard. Lets me absolutely ravage most monsters even without the 'optomization.'
    Although, if I had complete control with what my talisman can be, maxed Weakness Exploit, max Crit Element, and maybe some minds eye for hard parts with high element values, allowing element exploit to shine.

    First of all, great content. But i still havent understand if Offensive Guard will trigger only on Guard points, or as well on "normal guarding" if the timing is right . If i just press Block the moment an attack hits me, will i receive the dmg boost? Or do i need to use the silkbind move.

    • @andrewchabin7026
      @andrewchabin7026 2 роки тому +4

    • @iixxion
      @iixxion  2 роки тому +5

      All you have to do is block, right before the monster hits you. You'll see some red sparkles and glowing. Replay the video and you can see the effect when I block the training dummy, and the monster attacks. Offensive guard will work simply by blocking with your shield.

  • @user-gg3xt2rh1u

    Hmm... If you investing some slot guard, you might also be using the new guard slash GP that flows into perfect rush as well
    it just that I just began play rise on PC and yet to have grasp on monster moves' power, feels wierd that that move can't GP roar but can GP some move that looks more powerful without any guard skill

    Never tried S&S in World but I decided to give it a go here, having some trouble dealing actual damage unless I'm counter attacking or the monster falls. Nargacuga is also a nightmare since I always end up in front of him and my attacks bounce off his legs (no Mind's Eye yet for me) but I didn't think I'd like this weapon so much. I'm a bow main but this was fun to use for a few hunts. I just need to practice more

    Man what would we do without UA-cam, if only the Skill said in the description that you just have to time the Block at the right moment and the red glow couldn't be more of an indicator that it activated. Plus the skill isn't active for a long time, so if you can't follow up with a strong combo, it is pretty pointless to put in.

    • @iixxion
      @iixxion  2 роки тому +2

      A couple of you have asked for it now. I've been putting it off for a while, and now that Sunbreak is almost upon us, I'm thinking they might just buff the guard slash, so I kind of want to wait until Sunbreak to release the video. I do believe they buffed Guard Slash a bit in an earlier patch, to the point where it's easier to activate it now, with lower tiers of the Guard skill. If you haven't used the move in a while, revisit it. I think you'll find it a bit easier to use! Nobody talks about guard slash, so nobody is really trying new things with it (except me, of course, I'll try anything once...or ten times).
