I guess I’m looking for that “sweet spot” where the weapon is powerful enough AND fast enough and that probably doesn’t exist. Lol!

Have you tried the Long Sword?

Is that the buster sword or the katana? The buster was way too slow. The katana was ok, I guess. I’m decent with the combos of the switch axe, but it’s hit and miss.

Ok. The long sword is the katana. Yeah, it’s alright. I didnt do too well with it, tho. If I could figure out the charge blade, it seems like you can do some pretty significant damage with it and it doesn’t slow you down much! It’s a little confusing.

Has anyone be able to join an online session?
I’ve tried to join one, I’ve looked for SOS, I’ve sent SOS. It just keeps says nothing available.

I've done every mission with dual blades so far and have had a lot of success. I'm going to try out some Lance today because it just looks so awesome. This game has its hooks in me right now. Loving it.

The insect glave makes me dizzy with all of the flipping and flopping. I’ve been mostly using the switch axe, but I’m still not totally sold on it yet, either. I just keep replaying the optional quests just to try and make a final decision on one and stick with it.

I actually switched to the sword and shield and have posted all of my best times with it, and rarely cart anymore. For one, being able to sprint while using items is crazy useful. Need a mega potion? Start chugging and sprint away to stay safe.

Your bread and butter is pulling back on the left stick and holding circle after any attack. You'll do a leaping sword smash that, when it connects, will launch you into the air. From there, hit triangle on the way down to do slashing mounting damage or circle to do a shield bash for KO damage.

That, and you can be relentless with the attacks with the sword. It's not flashy, but I carted so many times trying to charge phials with the charge blade that it feels good staying alive and staying all over the monster at all times. We hunted a rathian last night and I think I mounted her 4 times, each time knocking her over for my buddies to lay into her.

Yeah, I love that circle charge attack with the sword and shield. It definitely helps with mounting. I’ve narrowed it down to that, the charge blade, and the switch axe. Just gotta keep learning the combos and which one works the best with each monster.
