A tip for Metsu Shoryugeki: Get a palico with the move "Summeown Endemic Life". Your cat will regularly bring you a third wirebug, making using the skill a lot easier and less punishing.
yeah, i am getting rid of healing bubble on one of mine and having both do it... i spam it every time im under the monster head whether i counter or not, the KO potential is tooo darn good. though the damage is nice when you do actually time it right.
Thanks for the tips, now Summeown Endemic Life and Wirebug Whisperer are my must-have skills for SnS. It's even better in arena where we're only given 1 wirebug for the whole fight.
Running raw damage slugger is SO satisfying! Between the Hard Bash, Shoryuken, and slide attack into Falling Bash, I don't even main the Sword and Shield. I main the Shield.
Agreed! The only thing that would make this a cooler, more well-rounded weapon is if it gains another counter/dodge move similar to the longsword's iai spirit slash or fade slash.
Yeah, when I saw Rurikhan's video go up thought it was Arrekkz at first, but later on when I went back to find it it wasn't there on Arrekkz channel (because obviously). But I watched Rurikhan's this morning and this got uploaded just as I finished it. Lol
@@caseycoker1051 oh damn. I know what you mean, he was real passionate. I love that though. I got to check this one also. Random question: what’s your main and 2nd? Mine is GS- main/ SnS - 2nd
SnS 1st and longsword 2nd I guess... Honestly I jump around a lot. I like switch axe and Insect glaive a lot as well. I've been trying to get into dual blades this time around but I don't know if I really feel it.
It's worth mentioning that from most SnS attacks that launch you up into the air you can use your Falling Shadow. It's not exactly useful for damage, but its pretty useful if you're up in the air and the monster is about to do something that'd swat you outta the sky and you need to get out of the way.
Aww flip really? I love my sliding slash but I've been caught stuck in the air during a big monster wind-up so many times. That is WONDERFUL to know I have an escape option up there.
Great Tutorial! Just one note as an SnS main: You can back hop after any move in a combo, including Spinning Reaper, so something i have found really nice it to loop Perfect Rush by ending it with the spinning reaper and then back hopping and starting Perfect Rush. In addition if the opening isn’t large you can do the shield bash/drill slash combo, end with spinning reaper, and then back hop into advancing slash/sliding slash, and then repeat. Not sure it this is the absolute most damaging combo but it’s been what I’m using (the inputs are Forward + A, A, A, X+A, Back + A but don’t hold back or A, and then repeat). I find this combo works best with Sliding slash and Drill Slash, however it works well will any configuration of skills
Things not mentioned in the video: -sliding slash has an immediately after the 1st hit(strict timing) -if your falling shadow doesn't hit, you can still use plunging thrust(great for stopping your momentum)
Protip: While S&S is a weapon that has no skills unique to it, it does benefit greatly from Wirebug Whisperer 3. The reduced cooldown on it's silkbinds is a welcome improvement, as Metsu Shoryugeki's damage output helps (Metsu is considered more useful than Windmill due to being able to target a monster's individual parts or head more easily, making tripping or KOing more consistent).
A few things I'd like to add: Falling Shadow has some few extra properties that were not mentioned: you can use the move midair to cancel other moves you were currently doing, for example you can use Falling Shadow, do the jumping slashes and use another Falling Shadow instead of committing to the falling bash/slash, which can be useful if you notice the monster's starting to attack you or if it's moving to reposition. You can also cancel the jump you do during the perfect rush with the Falling Shadow.
Dude...watching these takes me back to watching your old weapon guides for MHW. Thanks to you I'm able to take on all the monsters damageless at times thatnks for the great vids and all the hard work you put in them :)
Thanks a lot for this guide! It has definitely allowed me to learn the rhythm of SnS from a comprehensive perspective and/or approach; when I got back in game to try out the things mentioned in here, it was as if I'd "leveled up"! I now really enjoy and appreciate SnS as a weapon - much to my own surprise, as well: I'd expected it to be boring before I got the hang of it. All in all, thanks for opening my eyes up for this weapon, and thanks for your video!
One thing I've noticed is that the sns also has an...okayish ranged damage option, though technically everyone has it. Since we have unlimited kunai it means you can spam them in moments where it's not safe to approach. Throw in the dango skill that increases kunai damage and you're replacing what would be 0 dps downtime into a small trickle of damage. It also means you can bide your time a bit easier when fighting annoying monsters that keep bouncing attacks.
Damn I came in here expecting you to have a basic understanding of the weapon. I can see why your channel is so successful. No bullshit while still very detailed and thorough. Awesome, and thanks!
Great tutorials as always. Handy note, you can access the items in the shortcuts menu by holding L while your sword is out as well instead of the standard Zr and Y.
I've found the windmill slash while not the most damage attack, since you're swinging the sword around its great for building severing damage on the tail and making the cut
Glad this one was up next; I'm maining HH and SNS. And now that I've made virtually every horn I wanted, I just started moving on to the SNS last night.
So far following this series, picked up HH absolutely loving it. Probably gonna pick this up and try it out. Feels good to get a rudimentary + some deep dive advice and insight on these weapons to overcome that comfort zone of just maining 1 weapon. Thanks a lot Arekkz and the Arekkz Gaming Team!
A common mistake newcomers make with SnS is using Potions and stuff with their weapon out. While the weapon does let you do this, it's just faster to sheath your weapon and drink the potion since you can run while doing so. The true power of using items with SnS are things like Flash bombs (for Rathalos) and Sonic bombs (for Diablos).
In rise you can actually run whilst using the item with the weapon drawn out. Just start chugging the potion and press the sprint button you will sprint the same way you can when its sheathed. It's new to rise during world/ice you would be stuck at a walking pace.
@@rockySP4S It's a huge change. Sheathing speed though has been reduced alot in Rise which has reduced it being such a strong perk of sword and shield in previous games.
Full time Hammerbro checking in. I’ve been wanting to try SnS, perfect timing! This was a well made, well thought out - complete picture tutorial. Perfect! Thanks Arekkz! See you on the next weapon!
Man the meme weapon became actually fucking crazy good. The fact that your shield attack combo is not just for inflicting stun but also deals good damage is just great
Even though I CAnT WAiT for the insect glaive video this series is so entertaining! This series made me pick up the long sword and now it’s my second main ^^
As a veteran sword and shield user myself, I got to say I did not know about some of the small things, like no tripping on advancing slash. Thank you for a comprehensive video.
One thing i like about the Falling Shadow silkbind move is that even if you dont hit with the launching attack, you can cancel out of it with a plunging strike. its useful if you are sailing over the monsters head.
The guard slash is actually really useful cause you can initiate it right in the middle of a combo which leads to putting up your shield really fast while keeping up the onslaught
You’re the best man! Best weapons workshop on RUclips. Been a fan since MHW and I’ve been on a hiatus for a long minute. Got Rise/Sunbreak just recently and the first thing I did was look for a tutorial of yours to get back in touch!
I am super new to Monster Hunter in general (dabbled a little in World). I picked up Rise last week and I'm loving it, but at the moment work is definitely getting in the way of playing more. I've been switching between Long Sword, Dual Blades, and Sword and Shield for the first few hunts to get a feeling for what I like the most out of "beginner" weapons. I really like the Sword and Shield playstyle, and this helps a lot. Thanks.
Every time I decided to switch new weapons I always come here to really learn a good foundation. Plus I get to watch in amazement as you then preform a beautiful hunt. Thanks you for the amazing videos.
I use a mixed set, I got a Barroth piece, a Jyura piece, and Nargacuga pieces. It’s a mix of evasion and guard skills, with a Constitution skill piece to top it off.
One thing that's great to mention about the falling shadow silkbind move is that it has some invincibility on the aerial slash portion and when you land the hit. This can be useful if you want to time falling shadow into the end of a monster's charge where it will still have a lingering hitbox.
And here I was, thinking the SnS was the "newcomer" weapon. This thing has like eighty seven different moves! I gotta try it sometimes. Thanks for the video!
Shield bash also drains Monster stamina using blunt damage. So if you open up with the shield combo you can slow down the monster for bigger attacks like the Rush combo.
SnS feels absolutely fantastic in Rise. Solid mobility, the shield bashes are faster AND deal more damage, flexible combo game, vertical movement, a shoryuken, and more One of my favorites in this game, hands down
Thank you for this nice Tutorial! Just switched to SnS and this helped me a lot. Now people can lough less about my skills while streaming xD Keep up the good work!
Awesome video, mate. The effort and detail required to provide such an incredibly in depth tutorial is hugely appreciated!! I've not play MH since Tri on the Wii and am soooooooo excited to get stuck in to this game. SnS main back then, so delighted to see this video 👍
Weapon to beginers they said, it will be fun they said. Video 33minutes lenght shows multiple combined combos, counter and skils = suprised pikachu face
I'd like to add one more thing. You can input a new direction for a perfect rush combo off of a dodge/roll. Example: tilt your stick to the left after a forward roll and press A to backhop to your left, you'll then start the PR combo to your right :)
This is the video I actually wanted to watch. I got MHW but MHR is what I’m playing right now!😂 Awesome video again! So very detailed time to get started!
Hey Arekkz! Just want to say that all of your MHR Weapon Tutorials are superb! Thank you for doing this. I appreciate it alot! Can't wait for the BOW Tutorial hehehe :)
So glad I'm able to go back and watch one of my favorite weapon workshops now that I'm back into MH Rise on console and hear from our old boy Arekkz :) best wishes team can't wait to see more from you guys!💪🤙🤘
As a SNS user since MH1 on PS2, I'm IN LOVE with the Down Thrust from Wirebug and the Thrust and Twist. Both combined make for non-stop offensive onslaughts that are just incredibly fun and make heavier weapons seem super duper clunky now.
This is excellent! My girlfriend started playing and she gravitated towards the sword and shield which has been my main weapon in Rise too! I learned alot and I'm sure she will too!
I'm kind of a new player to MH, started with World and mained longsword, it was a bit overwhelming to try to learn other weapons while also learning everything else in the game. Now with Rise these guides are definitely hyping me up to try new stuff, already want to try HH and SnS. That's 2/2!
Great video! You sir are a master artist with the SnS, while I’m doing little doodles on a napkin. I make SnS look boring. This video makes me want to stick with it and get better
Take a look at the rampage weapons, they come with more rampage slots and it allows you to tailor the weapon how you want. great for starting out adn swapping in skills u want for certain hunts
@@SuperKnight263 its kind of fun to take a weapon that you think is trash and make it useful ( by item loadout,armor buffs, swapping techniques). For example is like a Great sword with sleep elemental. You dont't usually land enough hits for sleep to take effect so, do you build around the lighter wide hits getting sleep attack, or earplugs,evade extender,tremor resistence, and up damage or you craft sleep meat and give your buddies sleep weapons. Its like problem solving through game mechanics. Even when I fashion hunt for weapons I like, I usually like getting armor to make it effective. You can usually fix mismatches with layered armor.
Usually I use the insect glaive on all of the monster hunter games but this time I decided to switch things up and use a different weapon. SnS did not disappoint!
Ok I don't know if people already discovered it but haven't seen anyone on youtube talking about it. Taping A after a roll you go into the backstep, the direction input during that will face your character that way so it could be used like roll tackle for gs.
You know, you make it look so easy haha, I mained sword and shield in mhw before iceborne and it was the one that helped me defeat nergigante when using sns for the first time. Rise made it a little more difficult and I found it boring as i only pretty much spammed the bash. And I only just seen your tutorial and it made me want to try it again because there are actual combos that are pretty good without this annoying shield bash xd thanks for amazing content even though you put it a year ago. Im glad I found it now, will look forward to get back to my favourite friend xD
The video is not even started that i'm super exited. Been waiting for this one. I hated SNS in world and for some reason it clicked in Rise. Thanks for this guide
I literally just got Monster Hunter Rise because of how well recommended it is and I am torn between Sword and Shield and Hunting Horn. I love musical buff weapons but I struggle to use slow weapons. Was a Sword and Shield main in previous games and it does flow very well in this one. Glad to see you've covered both my choices already! That should help me make a decision.
I'm finally able to play Rise next week when I get my Switch oled and I already have ideas for a couple builds I want to try. Main one being an Offensive Guard counterattack build. I play Lance a lot in Iceborne so I'm already used to the OG counterattack playstyle. Being able to do that with an S&S sounds really fun.
A tip for Metsu Shoryugeki: Get a palico with the move "Summeown Endemic Life". Your cat will regularly bring you a third wirebug, making using the skill a lot easier and less punishing.
great tip
Just don't spam it
yeah, i am getting rid of healing bubble on one of mine and having both do it... i spam it every time im under the monster head whether i counter or not, the KO potential is tooo darn good. though the damage is nice when you do actually time it right.
That and Wirebug Whisperer skill. You'll be spamming a lot of aerial silk moves.
Thanks for the tips, now Summeown Endemic Life and Wirebug Whisperer are my must-have skills for SnS.
It's even better in arena where we're only given 1 wirebug for the whole fight.
Running raw damage slugger is SO satisfying! Between the Hard Bash, Shoryuken, and slide attack into Falling Bash, I don't even main the Sword and Shield. I main the Shield.
Same
hell yeah. Flash in the Night all the way. High base damage. High affinity.
@Quintonir well I do cut off tails with the sword too
Does the shield bash of the SnS have exhaust property? Sorry noob here...
@@johndustin80 It deals stun damage, which also includes exhaust
this weapon has literally everything. stuns, cool silkbind attacks and powerful combos.
Agreed! The only thing that would make this a cooler, more well-rounded weapon is if it gains another counter/dodge move similar to the longsword's iai spirit slash or fade slash.
@@matteelol true, that would be op
@@matteelol i dunno, having two already is more than enough imo (guard slash + metsu)
NO, NOT EVERY THING, I!!!!NEED!!!!!OIL!!!!!
@@hyukhyuk1*finger on monkey’s paw curls*
Everyone said that the Shield part is used for defence, but i say, the shield is for bashing the skull
As a sword and shield main I agree
wait, can you bonk with the Shield part?
@@elbert0p1kachu oh yeahhh
Shield defense? Horn support? I just wanna kill, for god's sake

Thank you :D We always try hard to make them better with every game!
I literally checked for this video last night and couldn't find it, so I prayed... My prayers have been answered.

One of the few weapons I never used throughout the games. Rise makes it look much more fun
I woke up 9am and saw Ruri's SnS guide. It's nearly 2am now and I see this in my feed right as I decided to go to bed xD
Wow, what a professional video. Goodness. Truly a clinic on how to make a weapon guide, or an informative video at all. Keep up the great work!
I get so pumped after these, I always end up trying out new weapons I've hardly touched before! Happened with Long Sword last time!
Protip: While S&S is a weapon that has no skills unique to it, it does benefit greatly from Wirebug Whisperer 3. The reduced cooldown on it's silkbinds is a welcome improvement, as Metsu Shoryugeki's damage output helps (Metsu is considered more useful than Windmill due to being able to target a monster's individual parts or head more easily, making tripping or KOing more consistent).

So glad I'm able to go back and watch one of my favorite weapon workshops now that I'm back into MH Rise on console and hear from our old boy Arekkz :) best wishes team can't wait to see more from you guys!💪🤙🤘
As a SNS user since MH1 on PS2, I'm IN LOVE with the Down Thrust from Wirebug and the Thrust and Twist. Both combined make for non-stop offensive onslaughts that are just incredibly fun and make heavier weapons seem super duper clunky now.
This is excellent! My girlfriend started playing and she gravitated towards the sword and shield which has been my main weapon in Rise too! I learned alot and I'm sure she will too!
There’s so much content in this one video I’ve had to watch it several times lol. Thanks Arekkz this video helped a lot!!
Haven’t watched the whole video yet but can tell this took a lot of work and is well worth a like and subscribe. Thank you.
I'm kind of a new player to MH, started with World and mained longsword, it was a bit overwhelming to try to learn other weapons while also learning everything else in the game. Now with Rise these guides are definitely hyping me up to try new stuff, already want to try HH and SnS. That's 2/2!
I was just thinking, "man I wish the SnS tutorial was out already" ❤❤
Great video! You sir are a master artist with the SnS, while I’m doing little doodles on a napkin. I make SnS look boring. This video makes me want to stick with it and get better
Great guide as always. Can't wait for the insect glaive guide as I'm absolutely loving it in rise
I was really worried about not being able to redirect your attacks. I thought they took it out when I played the steam demo. Thanks, mate
could you also add a "suggested weapons" segment? raw, elem, etc
Take a look at the rampage weapons, they come with more rampage slots and it allows you to tailor the weapon how you want. great for starting out adn swapping in skills u want for certain hunts
Thats half the fun though. Trying to come up with your own builds to make weapons viable or provide utility.
You guys min max in mh? Im just a fashion hunter lol
@@SuperKnight263 thissss
@@SuperKnight263 its kind of fun to take a weapon that you think is trash and make it useful ( by item loadout,armor buffs, swapping techniques).
For example is like a Great sword with sleep elemental. You dont't usually land enough hits for sleep to take effect so, do you build around the lighter wide hits getting sleep attack, or earplugs,evade extender,tremor resistence, and up damage or you craft sleep meat and give your buddies sleep weapons. Its like problem solving through game mechanics.
Even when I fashion hunt for weapons I like, I usually like getting armor to make it effective. You can usually fix mismatches with layered armor.
Usually I use the insect glaive on all of the monster hunter games but this time I decided to switch things up and use a different weapon. SnS did not disappoint!
Ok I don't know if people already discovered it but haven't seen anyone on youtube talking about it. Taping A after a roll you go into the backstep, the direction input during that will face your character that way so it could be used like roll tackle for gs.
You know, you make it look so easy haha, I mained sword and shield in mhw before iceborne and it was the one that helped me defeat nergigante when using sns for the first time. Rise made it a little more difficult and I found it boring as i only pretty much spammed the bash. And I only just seen your tutorial and it made me want to try it again because there are actual combos that are pretty good without this annoying shield bash xd thanks for amazing content even though you put it a year ago. Im glad I found it now, will look forward to get back to my favourite friend xD
The video is not even started that i'm super exited. Been waiting for this one. I hated SNS in world and for some reason it clicked in Rise. Thanks for this guide
Literally just today I decided to try SnS for the first time ever! I LOVE IT. I GET THE HYPE NOW. It's now gonna be one of my mains!
Gosh this is super helpful! Really thankful finding this guide when I am trying to switch to another weapon from hammer
I literally just got Monster Hunter Rise because of how well recommended it is and I am torn between Sword and Shield and Hunting Horn. I love musical buff weapons but I struggle to use slow weapons. Was a Sword and Shield main in previous games and it does flow very well in this one. Glad to see you've covered both my choices already! That should help me make a decision.
Fyi this time capcom did weapons easier to craft material wise so my answer to your dilemma would be "Both, both are good"
me: I don't need to learn all the weapons
me after every Arekkz video: time to learn a new weapon!
always wanted to get into SnS but looked so daunting at first glance
thanks for the vid
I'm finally able to play Rise next week when I get my Switch oled and I already have ideas for a couple builds I want to try. Main one being an Offensive Guard counterattack build. I play Lance a lot in Iceborne so I'm already used to the OG counterattack playstyle. Being able to do that with an S&S sounds really fun.
