Wooo wooo
I honestly find destroyer oil to be a waste of wirebugs, and with how good SnS's other wirebug moves are, it's hard for me to justify using it over throwing out another shield bash or keeping the bug ready for Metsu
That, i played with it yesterday and dropping metsu for oil extended hunt times by 5 minutes. It gives you like 3 small openings per hunt but with amount of ADHD monster have now and how quickly they recover it doesn't matter at all. Its waste of wirebug nothing more, such a shame.
I really wished it increased part breaking damage. It's in the name, ffs! *Destroyer* Oil!
Sure, useless for speedrunners but it would be so comfy for casual players.
@@Potatooie flinch and partbreak are the same multiplier, it does iirc
what i found out after using oil for some time was
1. it have an consideraby generous i-frame
2. 1st state:white 2nd state:red, when it's on red i feel it's easier to flinch monsters(still need more experiment tho)
3. it only affect your sword
@@conormaccarthy249 I think you're mistaken, they don't have the same multiplier. Partbreaker does technically increase stagger damage but only until the part is completely broken but not vice versa. So, Destroyer Oil does not inherently increase part break damage... I think.
I’m so glad S&Sis feeling good, personally I’m just getting into MR 4 quests and am just starting to experiment with other weapons besides my Swag Axe, I grabbed the Lunagaron Hunting Horn and I am in love with the “Sharpness regeneration” song, I never drop below purple sharpness
Was waiting on this one! 🙏🏾
I main SnS and I love how it feels in Sunbreak, The only problem I have about The new stuff is the oil and I was looking forward having it back in some way, but it’s just not as good as I was hoping it would be and I don’t really see a big enough difference when I’m using it or not.
Anyway great video and it would be awesome to see some videos on builds for SnS at some point.
Having a lot of fun with SnS also, but I’m still in MR3, so a lot to unlock yet. The mobility and resourcefulness are crazy good. Please make a video about your preferred SnS in Sunbreak.
I’m using Rathian poisonous SnS most of time right now.
Malzeno sns for dragon element. Khezu or astalos for thunder, rathalos or aknosom for fire, water is odyssey or ludroth, ice I would say lunagaron is strong.
Protective polish is very strong. I use it and evade extender2 on all my sets
Personally I use the Pukei sns for the natural purple and better slots, with 2 points of protective polish. The way I look at it is mostly I want to maximize poison uptime for Foray and the slots are also really helpful as I can get Daora Soul, Offensive Guard, and Wirebug Whisperer where Rathian needs Handicraft for purple, has no slots, and only has a level 2 rampage. From a utility standpoint Pukei has a lot of advantages but in specialized builds it's probably not a big deal as Pukei would lean more towards Foray builds and Rathin would probably focus more on attack and crit like more "normal" builds so it's really just preference
I’m in MR3 as well and using the crab SnS
Use nargacuga until you get to gold rathian at Mr 10. Then use that. That's meta rn
Switch skill swapping is also soo good for sns specifically. It gave me so much freedom mid hunt to have red scroll set to sword-based skills and shield-based skills on the blue scroll. With this combo you can go for KO, headbreaks, or saving sharpness with the blue scroll or switch over to red if you have protective polish applied, need to apply status/elemental damage constantly, or want to sever the tail. Being an SnS main has never felt so versatile!
Same, I am kinda doing the other way around, I have headbashing on Red and Drill Slash on Blue and basically I focus on KO while the poison is up, switch to Blue when it runs out and go ham with Drill Slash to reapply and man it is fun. Also I had never used SnS a lot before and I am finding it kinda crazy how safe it feels sometimes. I have legit looked away from the TV mid-combo and mid-monster attack and turned back to being absolutely fine.
I preferred when i had instant access to all combos without having to change stances. I honestly dunno why they decided to do it like that and before Sunbreak there was no swap mid hunt at all. I was stuck with one stance i have started hunt with. this few extra moves with bugs wasnt enought for me to justify this change. Am I crazy?
@@Umakek yes
@@Umakek Put it this way. Shield bashes are excelent at the begining and mid point but are not very useful for tail cuts for example nor in the later portion of the hunt where most monsters have resistence to stun where SnS simply isn't viable. With the switch you don't have to make the choice to either bash the monster like inferior hammer or make it inferior dual blades for cuts. SnS was always the most flexible that is the strength of the weapon. The more attacks this weapon has the better it is.
i just picked up this weapon after using hunting horn and switch axe forever and i love it, the damage feels amazing and quick and the stagger potential is great
As none of the big conten creators for MH plays Lance I want to say it here: Lance got a huge boost in Sunbreak, because of some reasons. The bigger window for the counters like Insta-Block is amazing. Now it's not just like 2 frames but really usable. The new Shield Tackle is really the best addition to lance. The trailer looks really boring and everyone thought lance got nothing new in Sunbreak but Shield Takle is great, because you literally don't need to stop attacking. You tackkle with the shield into every monster attack and keep thrusting. And the best part: it dont uses stamina, so you can easy have Maximum Might active all the time, plus the Offensive guard because you are always Shield Takle-Guard the next attack. I even dont use Evade Extender anymore because there is no need to evade, you just shield tackle and continue attacking. Now I just wish there were more cool Lances.
PS: I dont know what the new silkbind attackt are good for... dont need them
The dive is good for damage , and its multi hit
The evade let's you reposition, and if you jump away you can dodge forward in air and guard so you immediately jump into the charging run attack which is even more smooth stylish damage.
Lance is delicious in sun break.
Exactly! Lance is so simple and good to play. MR4 so still haven't got new silkbinds yet but I'm already having fun insta-guarding my way through. Lance is my go to weapom for tail cutting now due to it's pinpoint accuracy and counters
That's great to know, Lance was the last weapon I played in Rise last year. I'll keep using it whenever I do get Sunbreak!
Since you're a lance main, you should know about Sareil. Check his youtube. He does good use of the skyward thrust.
Skyward Thrust is a piercing move that's good against tall/flying monsters to line up as many hits as possible, in the right matchup it can hit like a truck.
I would love to see some of your builds for SnS :)
You didn't mention it in the video but I think the big thing about the Twin Blade combo is that you can use it to loop the first 2 hits of the shield combo so Stick+A, A, X, this lets you repositon your attack and start the bashing combo again.
Just started yesterday, been running GS’s Surge Slash combo exclusively. Loving it
I like how Sunbreak buffed the sword moves so it is now the SnS again and not just the nS like it was in base Rise.
I've started and finished Sunbreak's story with SnS only.
I only have 6 so i don't have to work very hard, but they're worthy of use.
And i ALWAYS remember to apply Destroyer Oil; and Shield Bash was very useful for repositioning myself - usually closer to the monster- sometimes to dash straight into the monster's face and get some blunt damage. It can also block attacks when timed right... i think.
I just need to watch where i'm going, since i have accidentally repositioned somewhere too far or hit the wrong part XD
And i can't wait for you to upload SnS Sunbreak builds.
I'm a hunting horn main and even though I'm not a huge fan of the egg or new combo the new silkbind that makes all my attacks hit twice has been stellar especially since it does extra exhaust/stun damage too so it makes kos so much easier to get. Can't wait to try out the other weapons I plays
when you said do you mind i was looking for joey swoll to pop up XD
0:06 that's some comedy right there lol
I keep forgetting using Destroyer Oil too while playing SnS, but I dont really feel like it becomes a difference when actually using it. I still manage to flinch and knock over monsters just fine, so I dont know how much the oil increases the odds, of flinching and stunning monsters. Nontheless tho I love seeing it in-game and enjoying my time with my Espinas Poison pumping build I slapped together for SnS :D
Also Shield Bash is a blessing, it feels amazing to close the gap, zoom over in mach 1 and be right up in their face again instead of running after the monsters all the time.
ive mostly been using destroyer oil on my second scroll with falling shadow and the slash combo instead of shield basher since i use that scroll for cutting tails. Ive also been using it early into a hunt with my malzeno armor sns set to get early part breaks for the blood rite skill.
Love SnS just wish that destroyers oil did more like part breaking or more ailments or elements. I’ll even take a random effect for fun
I personally main Charge Blade, I absolutely love the new Wire dash silkbind. I did really enjoy SNS in base Rise, though it felt a little weird in the Sunbreak Demo, I’ll definitely be trying it soon
Watching the combo for SnS it reminds me of the slash and then stab combo with Centurion from For Honor. Looks pretty cool.
So I barely, hardly even glanced at Sword and Shield from Freedom Unite all the way through world. I picked it up in Rise and I was shocked how much I fell in love, decided to continue with it in Rise and holy crap this thing is FUN. I’m never sleeping on this weapon ever again.
Pierce HBG feels really good with the crouching stance and the new wirebug ring-o-max dps.
Liking the aerial playstyle of IG again, able to get my extracts while building charges for a devastating dive that KOs monsters. All without touching the ground.
Destroyer Oil with Shield bash in tandem with Redirection and Slugger is an absolute blast.
MR40 SnS main. I hadn't played around with the new x combo yet. I'll definitely give it a try after this. I have the rush move on both scrolls, metsu on main, windmill for tails on backup. I didn't find destroyer oil too useful.
I've been exclusively using the IG. Aside from some minor issues with the Awakened Kinsect (that I've gotten used to and worked around), and the Kinsect Spiker not aiming, I think IG is pretty much perfection.
Sunbreak SnS is a whole lot of fun, omg
It's actually Hammer and Dual Blades put together now and I love it. I'm only MH2, but I've been going crazy with it, the shmovement and stun potential is just amazing so far.
SnS is my all-time favorite and definitive main, but I also dabble in Insect Glaive and Gunlance, both of which are now super awesome too. I've been getting into Great Sword, it's real noice now too.
My only complaint is the window for the counter for Metsu. It feels like it’s so short compared to other weapons (looking at you Long Sword).
It’ll trigger the wire bugs but not get the counter if the timing is a millisecond off. And also the fact that if you stun the monster with the opening/counter they move back and you miss everything
I like that I can keep my scrolls split for stun and elemental damage. Hard basher combo and metsu to get in and stun the monster and then flip to drill slash and windmill for elemental or status. I found you can get insane amounts of blast in with the orange bishaten sns, blast up and teostra armor with teostra soul on the sns. it's almost like 3U slime. A don't use falling shadow anymore and always use shield bash because it has DISTANCE and hits pretty good and can block on the way. I had to close some distance on Narwa when they do their ring attack that basically takes up the whole area and it blocked it and I went through. Destroyer oil I found mediocre as I wasn't really getting flinches more frequent, in fact, I don't think I got any while using it and it doesn't last and it's hard to tell when it runs out. Overall tho, I've been having a lot of fun using sns.
Played sns for all of base rise but wanted to switch it up and started playing dual blades for sunbreak. Very fun
Can’t wait to see a build for sns from you
For the story been using somnacanth sleep KO build, been getting super fast first and second sleeps and in every quest been getting 3-4 sleeps on the monster ( even faster of course with the food buff )
Ive been using dual blades during G1-G3 but Im typically an IG user. Something about the crab weapons looks so cool
Been maining SnS for a while. You are spot-on with this iteration being one of the best for it. The amount of constant pressure you can apply is just nutty. Sure, the numbers are HUGE, but a good SnS player is constantly hitting
I've been running a fullset of the beetlejuice set and its weapon altho its a lvl7 wide shell tho.... it even unlocks a rampage decoration that fits with the weapon
I'm maining Gun Lance, but eventually when I hit high rank, I will branch out into Glaive and SnS, both of which seemed to have gotten a lot of love in Sunbreak. When I play SnS I love featuring the shield, so I can't wait to use shield slam.
I love Shield Bash, but I call it Dash Bash! I’m with you all the way, Arekkz! I built every SnS in Rise, and I’m gonna build them all again in Sunbreak!
I've been enjoying a lot playing SnS.
I decided to ditch the oil since I could not see much of a difference and constantly switching between it and Metsu lead me to making mistakes more often than not since I still find hard juggling the two scrolls.
For the time being I run both the red and blue scrolls with the same skills and abuse Redirection, Wirebug Whisperer and Offensive Guard to really spam Shield Bash and Metsu for the entire Fight, I'm starting to think that I will not be able to go without the first two in all my builds now that I'm getting used to it.
I haven’t gotten to get to the new skills yet (since I’m currently doing MR entirely solo atm at Mr2 just got the first urgent for mr2) but I’m enjoying all the new mechanics and features i love it(using duel blades rn and I’m turning into full weeb)
SnS was my main before sunbreak but so far I've been almost exclusively using hammer due to Charge Spin being so satisfying to use with evade extender 3.
Maining the Hunting Horn, the new silkbind that replaced eathshaker is amazing. Also enjoying sunbreak so far.
Off topic question but if I use the seed silk bind and play health rec song, does it heal me and everyone 2x?
My son was wanting to go back to hammer, but he just loves the feel of S&S even more now. He feels in control and able to always have an answer to whatever the monster is doing, even more so with Shield Bash.
mainly main sns too but im in love with sacred sheathe on longsword having hated longsword prior to rise
Awesome Arekkz.... what's your armor set and skills?
hahaha Love the Looks I have the exact same layed armour :D
My guy Arekkz running the Garangolm SnS. Love the design ang power of the Golm
is that the SnS in his thumbnail?
i know this is probably a dumb question, but how are you getting that display just above the wire bugs that shows the different attacks with the orange/blue flag in the middle?
Did they add the old infinite combo back in? I've been grinding with SnS for a couple days now, and I've definitely been able to cancel any of my regular attacks into a spinning round slash that leads directly into a new combo. I can point it in any direction, too.
how do you do the turn-around in the combo? I can't seem to get that
I love the S&S part of charge blade (Axe hopper OP though), so maybe I should give regular sword and shield a go for a while and play around now that I'm approaching MR 30
How to do the side flipping jump like you did in the video? It is totally new to me, can anyone show me how to do it? I find it quite better to dodge monster attack, side step's range is way shorter than that.
I run metsu on red scroll and windmill on the other to apply status and do extra dmg when i cant counter with metsu. I can trigger 3 sleep and 3 knockdown on a hunt with 2 palico
I started using SnS when sunbreak came out, really having fun with it but haven't gotten to the dlc content
I'm a SnS main and I love it. In sunbreak it feels so much smoother and more fluid.
Hope that I can make a valuable "Support" set now
In Generations I played Aerial Para SnS and loved it.
The monster was mounted, down or paralyzed most of the time. Yeah, it's not the fastest way to kill, but the control aspect was amazing. Hope in the Endgame there is a viable option now
I'm a SnS secondary, once main until I went back to the Switch axe cause im a tri defender. I just love the versatility and the skill swapping is cracked on SnS
I'm maining HBG with a dual blades set as a backup for when I inevitably get tired of being one-shotted by every monster in the late game. Having a ton of fun with both of them!
Hey! Would a MR DB guide or build be coming soon?
Thank you so so much God bless you
What's the current go to combo? Finish the x combo into the full a? Or go in with the A combo?
2:48 It's like I'm seeing Dante's or Nero's combo that's attack forward while dash (forgot the name)
Could we get some build templates for different elemental sns builds?
Eu não entendi muito bem a utilidade do Óleo, ele aumenta chance de derrubar o monstro (flinch) mesmo com o combo elemental?
Having so much fun with SnS as well. The only thing that I was sad to see was that Power Prolonger doesn't affect Destroyer Oil. With or without it, it only lasts 45 seconds. That kinda sucks, but the rest of it just feels so, so good. I'm having fun switching back and forth with SnS and HH. Not sure which is my favourite.
I've been wondering about this! Did you lab it out, yourself?
@@nathanpetrich7309 I did, just in the training area using the stopwatch on my phone.
i have been playing LS yet with this video i may think about try elemental SnS
Metsu Shoryugeki, Shield Bash, and Sliding Slash. The holy trinity. I honestly won't be able to play SnS in the next game if they take those moves away.
This weapon is so good now, man.
Is it possible to see your build somewhere?
Really enjoyed the gameplay
Waiting for your SNS built for Sunbreak video.
I've been mainly using great sword in sunbreak which I've really been enjoying never really used it before in any other monster hunter. Looking forward to using sns again to tho
LS main looking to try sns, any tips? SNS has so many attacks i can’t memorise them all
How are you doing that flip move in the beginning of the video?
Granted I'm pretty late, but holy hell is Greatsword beyond entertaining, I'm loving the new combos and moves!
Me go to weapons are Melody Mallet (Hunting Horn. I call it this because it just isn't hunting horn to me but is fun as its own weapon otherwise), S&S ofc, and Swag Axe
I've been playing tons of insect glaive and gunlance, mainly gl, it has been soooooooo fun
Loving sunbreak! I have been a switch axe main for a couple generations and thinking about adding SnS to the arsenal
As a fellow swax enthusiast I’d say definitely go for it! Falling Shadow is similar-ish to the arial swax move. With both weapons I love that you can just yeet at the monster the entire fight. The back hop is super fun after you learn the timing of the dodge
Which is the SnS that used in the thumbnail?
Sunbreak makes the sword and shield many times more versatile than it was in base game and I love it to death! Jack of all trades and yet I always find myself being able to fit in Wide-Range in my build.
Arekkz, I’m usually a Bow main but decided to give the SNS a try in Sunbreak thanks to your awesome vids and boy am I having a blast with the weapon! I especially love the new shield bash silkbind move, the Captain America special as you called it lol. That being said can you please please please make a video with an SNS build that centers a bit around the new shield bash move? ^_^
Do have a good build that a new SNS user to start art with?
They only time I remember to use destroyer oil is after I use Redirection and try to use metsu but oil comes out lol
Great sword/heavy bowgun main with hunting horn when monsters get difficult and friends on. I keep trying the SNS because I love blocking and KOs, and I think im not doing it right. I love tank weapons
used CB in rise, now in subreak i am using SNS. very fun
What build do you use for sword and shield
I been using the kinsect glave and I like the new attack options avaliable it gives you a few more options besides the dive bomb.
I’m curious, is it possible to be a little more supportive and scatter healing dust more then usual?
@@bfdsixtyfour6969 Not sure really, I think you can only have a set amount of powder around at a time but I could be wrong.
I want to learn how to use SnS. What should I watch to get proficient?
What sns is that in the thumbnail/beginning
Never used s and s before. Just started using it in sunbreak. I am in love. Ig main in world. Charge blade main in iceborn. Swaxe main in rise. Now s and s and loving it.
Honestly i would like to see SnS get its own special mechanic like bows coating or Kinsects, but we create oils that get applied buy the destroyer oil, and we can increase raw, increase element damage, and depending on what materials we use to make the batches of oil gives it some different effects, use Chamelos and Apex Rathian Parts inflict super poison, Volvidon parts get weak Para
You should play GU
Using parts of monsters isn't a good idea tho lol you'd need hundreds of the materials you want for every effect
That's how oils worked originally actually
nobody tell him
They did that already
hey mate! would you share your abilities and equip?
So...what is the point of that last hit in the original combo? Is there anything special we're missing? It seems wierd that they would add a better more usable combo and keep the one we worked around.
Any thoughts about hi ninja sword + ?
I played so much hammer post release, it became my most used weapon.
I don't remember to use it because I don't think Sns need a "power up" skill. Something that instantly let's you go into perfect rush and pressing X launches you into perfect rush or pressing A does perfect rush stationary. And they let you turn before you commit!
I honestly dropped most of my weapons for SNS since elemental CB is really just chainsaw spam and most other weapons aren't interesting. I really just use Shoryu to avoid things and for damage and when that's not up I'll just parry with the scroll swap and I don't do much else than that, really just figuring out perfect rush now for the extra damage. I got decently lucky with a Redirection 2, Slugger 1 charm so using the Pukei SNS, with Mal-Esp-Esp-Squire-Esp I get max Defense, Crit Boost, poison attack, offensive guard, item prolonger, free meal, flinch free, wirebug whisperer, foray, and redirection with 2 points in Wexploit, protective polish, part breaker, and a point in slugger as 1 point is the highest value. Been really fun so far, honestly the main things I'd say are: just save wirebugs for shoryu and the Espinas Leg is kinda nutty as you get 1 Foray, max Flinch Free, and max Poison Attack while still having a 4 slot. Fun thing is I just use the same loadout on both scrolls so I don't have to worry about parrying and having to change combos which usually only comes up when Metsu is on cooldown and a note for CB users is if you're in chainsaw and you swap you'll lose it even if both scrolls are chainsaw so that's a bummer
I've been maining switch axe since World but now I think I need to try SnS. SnS is probably the only weapon in Mhr I haven't tried yet.
It's my favorite melee weapon right after the Gunlance wich for me is the most fun weapon in the game, especially with the new bullet barrage and...yea blast dash exists
I am a sword and shield and charge axe main, love the new combos amazing weapons as they always were, but it is better. Though recently switching ti the longsword and o boy monsters crumble against it !!!
IG main since Tri but i love trying out new types even though it’s takin some time to adjust lol
My mains are gunlance and hunting horn and GL feels amazing in sunbreak
