Playstyle

The Long Sword has a fluid playstyle that allows the hunter and monster to deal damage continuously with minimal downtime between attacks. This is due to the Long Sword's array of counterattacks, which allow the hunter to dodge massive attacks from monsters and allows the hunter to smoothly transition between attack sequences. Because the Long Sword can string together attack sequences using counters, it is able to do fluid gameplay.

While most weapons must reset and reposition after an attack sequence is completed to avoid being struck by the monsters, the Long Sword can launch an attack sequence, stop any incoming attacks, and then immediately enter into the next attack sequence. This is why the Long Sword gains the greatest benefits from having skills that improve its combat fluidity and allow it the ability to deal continuous, unaffected damage.
