@@Boqueelis Focus mode is dogshit. Completely takes out the tactical aspect of the game. No need to reposition properly, distance yourself, move your character. Just have focus mode on perma and play COD.
I love that mechanic where you can use the tranqs first then continue hitting the monster in the head till the monster realize it should fall asleep immediately.
So one thing i noticed about focused strikes are that they have a chance to topple the monsters, but its not guaranteed. So, if the monsters are toppled or KOed , sure go for TCS. If not and if the monster is preparing for an attack, prepare to dodge, block or do offset attacks to counter. It's very scenario and your personal choice dependent.
After playing arounf a bit more, TCS barely seems worth it in general. It has the same end lag as always but doesn't seem to do drastically different damage than chaining the faster and safer charges. I don't know if I ever really flinched a monster with it like what is seen in the other games with it, either, making it possibly riskier than normal with less reward.
@@takenusername3134 Yeah they undertuned it for sure; it's almost the same damage as the second slash while having huge recovery frames. It's only for fun if the monster gives an enormous opening (e.g, toppled) and even then, you probably still lose on DPS.
Offset Slash is the new TCS... I hope there will be some balancing till release. Yeah, it's easier than ever to land a TCS, but that damage needs to go up a bit.
Not if you know how to counter almost perfectly is seems, most casuals will still be better off TCS. Guess it really depends once we know what skills are offered in the full game.
First time playin monster hunter was tryin the greatsword and thought it was boring since i thought it was just farming that 3rd big slash, but how you play is sick, any great sword tips in general?
@ brooo I can’t tell you how crazy that sounds but i believe it bc i’ve been trying to beat my record of fighting this monster over n over doing the same strategy until i beat my personal record but it just seem to never work so what your saying is true this whole fight is just luck n rng
@spooky8662 that explains why I saw a lot of players not going to TCS while playing with the greatsword. But maybe this can be good and refreshing for a greatsword veterans 🤔
@@nova3744 it's refreshing that it's not the optimal attack, I'm fine that it's not the best attack. It just sucks that it's bad enough, it is something to try and avoid
Rising Offset deserves to be nerfed, either the stagger cooldown needs to be increased or the damage needs to be reduced. Seeing literally zero TCSs in a Great Sword hunt is unacceptable.
The opposite is true TCS needs a drastic buff. As it stands it's entirely too weak and has a lower motion value than Hammer. That's why it's not being used. Edit: idk how I missed this. It does 13!! more damage than the damn strong charge?!!! Why Capcom wtf???
TCS needs to do like 10% MORE damage, or to have it's recovery frames reduced to match the charge slash, or to be given a counter window mid slash, like offset and tackle. I could also see offset charge doing slightly less damage. I don't think it needs to do the same damage as a normal charge slash.
I’m sorry but this sucks not once when did you stun the monster were you given even time to charge 3 times into a true charged slash. This game feels like a downgrade for great sword compared to monster hunter world. It reminds me of monster hunter rise where the pretty much forced you to use those light bug things. Where are the true charge slashed timed with the monsters moves you know. Def not impressed and and I think the same importance will be on those new mechanics than the classic great sword we got in mhw. This just feels like a ps5 monster hunter rise imo when truth be told we just wanted a ps5 monster world/ice borne

yeah but it doesnt actually add anything to greatsword. more like a quality of life improvement. Rise greatsword still way better than this.

I find it amazing how every time Rey Dau roars the noise is different.
Rey Dau's got the best sound design in MH
The game isn't even out yet and bros trying to set a world record lol. GG
I could listen to Rey dau’s sounds all day
as a Greatsword main myself love every bit of this video thanks for this incredible content

Beautiful, this is art
Amazing! Looks like the counter/parry cooldown is ~60s.
Ye I’m still not entirely sure how it works haha
I thought it was a meter that would fill up everytime you landed an offset counter similar to mounting damage
@@kozako2253 That'd get tedious fast, having to hit 3 counters until it actually has an effect
hope they bring back slinger burst attacks, don't know why nothing has it despite us still having the hook slinger :(
Just watched this twice while installing this for open beta
5:41 god damn it got struck by lightning and didn’t even flinch
going back to mhwilds beta footage and getting sad the game isn't out rn 🗿
Why did the offset rising slash fail at 1:08? Was it released too early/late, or can that attack not be parried?
Awesome vid btw, thanks for sharing
so wilds finally gave a reason to use Offset slash
Damn this monster like diablo combine with ratalos and tigrex
sheeeeeeeeeeesh! noice!
After doing the focus strike, does rolling out of it for the typical charge attack sequence always do more damage than the TCS follow-up you can do?
So one thing i noticed about focused strikes are that they have a chance to topple the monsters, but its not guaranteed. So, if the monsters are toppled or KOed , sure go for TCS. If not and if the monster is preparing for an attack, prepare to dodge, block or do offset attacks to counter. It's very scenario and your personal choice dependent.
I didn't know the flinch could not occur. That probably makes rolling out more consistent in solo play. Thank you for the answer.

what did you do to go straight into that attack 0:14??
new sneak attack mechanic
@@1meyzee how do you proc it? Is it just triangle/ Y from behind?
@@SadgeFrawgCircle while undetected. Either crouch or use guile mantle. You can do this multiple times during a hunt btw.
@@Boss-lp9ce Yep everytime a monster runs away and you get off agro mode you can sneak attack pretty much
Just wait for a penguin mask and buff body skin…
This isn’t even his final form… 😂
I don't know why did they nerf TCS so badly in Wilds. It's dmg if not, almost the same as a stronger charge slash
to be honest, I'm fine with spamming TCS not being the most viable strat for once
no more True Charged Slash?
Insane 😮
and people are saying gs lost so much dps.....pleaseeee
@JalkrTheHydra I actually wasn't a fan of spamming TCS being the best strat, so I welcome this change
subbed, well deserved
Offset Slash is the new TCS... I hope there will be some balancing till release. Yeah, it's easier than ever to land a TCS, but that damage needs to go up a bit.
Oh, I forgot to ask... Did you somehow cancel the Focus Slash animation when popping a wound? Seems shorter than usual. Thank you in advance!
Why does GS look so good?!
wow nice move bro
Gg bro
Wooooo

@@eardey Are you able to TCS immediately after a focus strike??
@@LauncherSpiderMk7 yes

do you play with hold or toggle for focus mode? awesome run btw

Yea gs is different in wilds since they nerded tcs to the ground. It’s more about chaining combos and countering now.
@@Boqueelis hell yeah, you gonna do a guide when it full releases?
@ that’s a good idea I’ll probs do that. Maybe during the next demo and then at full release too
@ oh shit we’re getting another demo let’s goooo
@ idk probably
everything good brotha but remember to activate ur windows xD
Ofset charges no always make rey dau down?
Blud ain’t using TCS huh

how you cap it without it having the skull
@@ironpatriot-sh3xn you literally just have to guess it’s super annoying lol
@ thats crazy an rng cap mechanic thats lame but thank you
@@ironpatriot-sh3xn yea a lot of the game is bs rng. I’m pretty sure even his hp varies by hundreds of damage so you also have to get lucky hp rolls

@ yea world had some bad rng but wilds just feels like a slot machine with monster spawns, food skills, small monsters, palico, etc
Anyone know if it’s possible to clash with Rey Dau?
I never saw it.
I know I'm late, but I'm a Lance main and the answer is very much no
So TCS is nerfed?
Heavily. It's one of the worst moves now. Barely does more damage than a charged slash, and is significantly more risky.

It's not, though I wondered at first as well. He has decimal values instead of whole numbers for damage values, which is an option in the settings

True slash does low damage, we don't need the monster to stay stunned anymore. The new greatsword is amazing. It's every buff I ever wanted
