Monster Hunter Now Long Sword Build
The Long Sword is an upgrade you will unlock once you reach Hunter Rank 15. It has a great attack speed that allows you to deliver plenty of strikes in a quick amount of time. One of the main features of the Long Sword is the Spirit Gauge. As you deal damage, the gauge starts to fill up (however depletes once you get hit by monsters, so watch out!). Once the gauge is filled, you’ll be able to do the Lai Spirit Slash, which is a powerful counter attack.
How To Use the Long Sword
Sheath your weapon by holding down on your screen, then release when a monster is about to attack. If your IAI counter attack succeeded, your opponent will attack twice. However if it failed, your opponent will only attack once.
