Best Longsword builds for Monster Hunter Rise

We continue with our series of Monster Hunter Rise articles with one of the most used weapons by the community, the Long Sword, and knowing the best builds for each moment of your adventure is going to be key. You already have the Hammer and Great Sword builds available, in case you fancy trying something “more to the point”.

The Long Sword is a weapon that, if used correctly (using a lot of parries), hits like a real beast and is capable of killing monsters in record time. Here you will find the best weapons and armor pieces to get the most out of it.

These are the best builds for the Long Sword in Monster Hunter Rise

The first thing to specify is the stages in which you will change the build:

  1. Village Missions from 1 to 4 stars
  2. Village Missions from 4 to 6 stars.
  3. Online up to rank 7.
  4. Online range 8-40.
  5. Online 40-100.
  6. Best build of the latest patch.

1-4 Star Village Missions

In this first stage of the adventure, you will use the Critical Eye as the absolute base of the build, using a weapon with a good base attack and an affinity of 0% (without improvements, with improvements it will go up to 10%):

Gain Critical Eye 5, Attack 1, Recovery Speed ​​1, and Water Attack 1.

  • Weapon : Iron Word.
  • Helmet: Izuchi helmet.
  • Peto : Cota Izuchi.
  • Gloves : Alloy Bracers.
  • Girdle: Alloy Girdle.

4 to 6 Star Village Missions

The thing is not going to take you by surprise if you have already taken a look at one of our builds, and that is that the Nargacuga’s weapons are absolutely beastly for this point of the adventure.

Gain Critical Eye 7 and Latent Power 2.

  • Weapon : Hidden Saber 1.
  • Helmet: Zinogre Helmet.
  • Peto : Cota Zinogre.
  • Gloves : Barioth Bracers.
  • Girdle: Barioth Girdle.

Until you reach rank 7 you are going to use a build that gives quite a few interesting advantages, with Critical Eye and Quick Draw as the main statistics.

Affinity is the foundation of this build, which uses quite a few useful abilities in this regard so that your blows sting enemies when hitting their weak spots. We return to the weapon of the Nargacuga, although this time to its improved version.
