Monster Hunter Wilds provides a large arsenal of weapons, each with its own unique playstyle to learn for the player. Of the strongest and most difficult to handle is the Great Sword — a slow but heavy weapon that can deal tremendous damage in well-timed strikes. Despite its slowness, which may lead beginners astray, those who learn its mechanics can slice through even the largest monsters.

How to Use the Great Sword

The Great Sword has incredible raw damage in Monster Hunter Wilds, and its potential is truly realized with charged attacks. Its slow animations do force players to time enemy movement so that they can strike at the optimal moment. The Charged Slashes are the weapon’s central mechanic, which when released properly deal much more damage. These abilities can be trained and mastered in the Training Area before venturing out into the wild.

Basic Controls

Tackle is an important action that provides hyper armor, enabling players to absorb damage continuously while charging their next attack. This makes it essential for applying pressure in close range.

Great Sword Combos

Learning the Great Sword involves learning when to perform specific combos depending on the monster’s actions.

True Charged Slash Combo:
The strongest combination of the sword, consisting of three consecutive charged attacks. Best to use when a monster is stunned or knocked down.

Forward Lunging Attack Combo:
Attack-move combination that enables the player to move forward and attack.

Stationary Combo:
Best used to defend against the opponent’s attack, this combo interweaves Wide Slashes into Rising Slashes, with the Offset Rising Slash serving as a parry to deflect attacks.

Tips for Using the Great Sword

Perfect Timing: Charge with Charged Slashes in the third pulse for maximum damage.

Take Advantage of Wounds: Attack vulnerable wounds with Focus Slash: Perforate for added damage.

Stand Your Ground: Block rather than dodge and retaliate with powerful attacks with Perfect Guard.

Focus Mode: The system is marking wounds on monsters and increases accuracy, thus becoming essential to maximum damage delivery.

Conclusion

The Great Sword rewards players for patience and accuracy, dishing out some of the highest damage numbers in Monster Hunter Wilds. Although its slow speed may be a liability for beginners, those who can learn to master its timing and combos will be unstoppable hunters that can slay the game’s most terrifying monsters.
