Summary
Monster Hunter Wildsis the latest game from Capcomin theMonster Hunterfranchise, and it continues to entertain players by providing them with an assortment of weaponry that they can freely experiment with to take on various monsters. One of the strongest weapons a player may consider trying out inMonster Hunter Wildsis the deadly Long Sword.
While this weapon may require the player to learn a couple of combos, those that successfully learn how to harness the true potential of this weapon are sure to enjoy crafting the strongest variations from the monsters they face. Out of the assortment of Long Swords available, especially when reaching the end game ofMonster Hunter Wilds, these are by far the best Long Swords, ranked.
8Esperanza Edge
Strong And Easy To Craft
Starting off with something simple, Esperanza Edge is one of the easiest end-game Long Swords for the player to obtain. Since this sword only needs a Bird Wyvern Gem and a few Hunter Symbols to put together, players can get it easily.
Although it may not haveany elements or status effects available, its raw power makes up for this by allowing players an easier time demolishing the monsters they face. Plus, it also comes with the two skills ofCritical EyeandSpeed Sharpeningto increase its critical rate chance and allow players to sharpen it faster.
7Gravecleaver Urkemush
A Great Option For Pure Damage
Alternatively, a player who wishes to continue to focus on raw damage may then wish to improve their long sword bymoving from the ore treeto the Gravecleaver Urkemush, which can be crafted by fighting the Guardian Doshaguma.
It has been noted that inMonster Hunter Wildsraw damage can be quite weak, though this sword is sure to quell some of these concerns due to how much base damage it does. The Gravecleaver also has a negative affinity, which means it’s also less likely to critical strike its enemies and do less damage. However, with 3 levels inPower Prolonger, players will have a powered-up weapon for much longer that doesn’t require these critical hits.
6Rompo Mytoxin
Poison Is One Of The Strongest Status Effects
InMonster Hunter Wilds, alongside the assortment of weapons, there is also a wide range of elements and status effects that some weapons are affected by. Out of all the available effects, one of the strongest that players should consider crafting weapons of is poison.
The Rompo Mytoxin is not only a perfect end-game weapon, but also a great branch for players to consider when looking for an element that the majority of monsters are weak against. Like the Gravecleaver Urkemush, this is another weapon with level 3Power Prolongerto do even more damage without the affinity debuff as this is simply 0%.
5Stahlrecht
Made For Critical Strikes
Players that have reached the end of the game and wish to show off their progress may wish to consider the Stahlrecht Long Sword, which can only be crafted once the player has encountered Gore Magala.
This purple sword deals a decent amount of damage while also providing players with the Dragon element. Whenfacing various monstersnear the end of the game, this sword is perfect, especially against Guardians. Stahlrecht is also one of the best for those looking for a sword with the higher affinity, as it settles at 20%, boosting its raw power when critical striking.
4Wyvern Blade “Holly”
Poison And High Damage To All
Returning to the poison status effect, those that are looking to keep with this element but also do a higher amount of base damage can achieve this with the classic Wyvern Blade “Holly”, which players can task Gemma with crafting as long as they have faced the infamous Rathian that fans of the franchise may remember fondly.
Not only does this Long Sword do a great amount of poison damage, it also comes with a level in thePoison Duration Upskill, which, as the name suggests, increases the duration of the poison affliction to deal even more damage to a monster for longer while the player continues their combos.
3Blood Scream
Put Monster To Sleep Permanently
Another strong status effect that the majority of monsters inMonster Hunter Wildsare weak to is the urge to take a nap. With the Blood Scream weapon, players can easily strike a foe until they collapse into a deep sleep. This is a perfect time to continue attacking an enemy or evenattempt those difficult attacksthat many monsters tend to lunge out the way of.
Blood Scream is another Long Sword that makes the most of thePower Prolongerskill, which can also be exploited while a monster is sleeping to allow the player’s Long Sword to remain powered up for much longer.
2Righteous Lancelot
Raise The Spirit Gage Quickly
Unsurprisingly, a must for any Long Sword user, especially those looking to makean overpowered build, will require a Long Sword made from parts of Arkveld. As the post monster of the game and the creature the player will be following throughout the story of Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s no surprise that the player will be rewarded by the damage done by Righteous Lancelot.
As another weapon that uses the Dragon element, it will be great for facing the end-game monster once more. The real staple of this weapon is its skill, due to it having 3 levels inFocus, which means players can charge the Spirit Gage of the Righteous Lancelot much faster to do far more damage.
1Dimensius
The Strongest Artian Long Sword
Out of all the available Long Swords inMonster Hunter Wilds, one of the greatest for players is by far the most customizable. The Artian weaponry inMonster Hunter Wildsallows the player to put various parts together to create their own custom weapon that best suits the battle they are preparing for.
Dimensius is the Long Sword that iscreated when putting three Rarity 8 parts together, though other than this, the effects of the weapon as well as the elements it uses are entirely up to the player. Many tend to recommend the blast element due to its increased damage, though this is something for the player to experiment with.
