14:16 - Basically, the perfect Valor GS comfort set. If you somehow get that Sheath Sharpen 10 OOO before maxing out the Ahtal-Ka GS, the Authority Viator is an alternative to hold you until then. 300 Attack, 25% affinity, 3 slots and very generous natural purple. It would also work extremely well on that Challenger/Crit Eye/WEX/Crit Boost/Focus set. With Challenger +2 active, you're always scoring crits on weak spots when the monster is enraged, 90% of the time on weak spots when not enraged, 60% of the time on weak spots when not enraged, and 45% of the time on non-weak spots on a not-enraged monster. Not sure if the mantis' sword's 30 raw over the Viator overpowers it, but it's definitely still viable. As an added bonus, you don't need anything especially rare to forge it, except for the Red Dragon Mindstone and Fey Wyvern Gem for their earlier levels. You can easily get a Red Dragon Mindstone by bringing a VE Golden Ticket to the Veggie Elder when you're at the Ruined Pinnacle. Some of the DLC item packs came with a number of these, as well as VE Cosmic Tickets. As for the Fey Wyvern Gem, just do the subquest the G1* quest "Ruined Pinnacle, RUINED" which is to hunt a Great Maccao. In fact, there's TWO in that quest. To maximize your chances, wound their heads (10% chance of getting one) and make them drop shinies (2% chance of getting one) as much as possible, then once both are dead/captured, end via subquest. You can also try doing the G-rank version of "Harvest Tour: Verdant Hills" and hunt the Velocidrome that's guaranteed to appear. Be sure to kill it, as your chances of getting the Gem are higher from carving than from capturing.

A very underrated greatsword is the barroth smasher, which is my alternative to skeletal GS and noble scar everytime I want quicksheath. It has 370 raw and natural white sharpness + 1 slot. With a quick sheath + 10 ooo you can get following set: Quick sheath, Crit Draw, Crit Boost, Weakness Exploit, Focus. If you can build sharpness+ 2 over Weakness Exploit, the Bone GS is even better but that requires a god charm...

To people who use the forward charge in Valor style, stop charging to lv3, THEN lunging, you actually continue charging during the lunge, so you overcharge. Wait until lv2 charge, then lunge and you'll be lv3 by the time you hit instead of overcharging and going back to a lv2 hit. And yes, it's possible to overcharge unlike normal strong charge in other styles which doesn't power down, don't get those two mixed up, Valor's weakness is that it charges so fast it's easy to overcharge.

You can change the position of the art to 2nd art or 3rd art simply go to equip box and go to striker style, remove all the art then go to 2nd slot and equip evasion or the art you want. Then change to Valor or adept or Aerial and Ta Da! Your hunter art will be in the 2nd slot so you can press ZL to dodge easier.

I've been trying to learn greatsword after wanting to take a break from being a filthy Longsword main 😅 (Hater's words, not mine). I was doing okay practicing the basic hit-and run strat using aerial, but it was getting kinda repetitive. I tried running adept GS but I could tell I was doing something wrong when I keep getting hit during my strong charge. So I wanted extra help with advanced guides to see if I could learn anything new. Which led me to your video! It's been a huge help. Headsniping is such a useful tip that helps with hitting monsters 100% of the time. So I'm gonna put in more practice in getting it down. Thanks for all your help. It's been truly worth watching! 😁👌🏾

Nakarkos GS is actually 3rd place for raw hit and run greatsword. Chivalry gets 10 more raw with the exact same set. Bloodbath has 10 less but gets purple with sharpness +2 and is a deviant weapon. You might need better charms to make it work but Bloodbath can hit higher EFR and charge your gauges faster. All 3 are bad if you aren't hitting weak spots consistently. Nargacuga GS for strong charge or enemies with no easy weakpoints, final boss or bloodbath for everything else.

Gonna toss a recommendation to the High Siegmund here. Fantastic GS I swap between my Martyr and it a lot. Investment gets it to Purple Sharpness but it has a fair amount of white, same raw as the tiggy GS, and 10% affinity. I feel like on a Jho Ceana set, it's worth the side investment to get it up to purple and that frees up space in your build to come really close to the tiggy just because you don't have to spend skill points digging yourself out of that negative affinity hole.

First off, I've just gotta say - how does this channel have so few subs? This just turned up in my suggested vids, but between your vidoes and Gaijin's guides, I'm pretty sure you can at least quadruple the knowledge of every hunter I've come across over hundreds of hours. This is... incredible~ ♥ Right, now that the mild fangirling is out of the way, I just wanted to mention something dumb I've done with a Great Sword set - bearing in mind that I have no idea what I'm doing. With the Shagaru Magala GS and Critical Eye +3, I was able to get base 95% affinity. Meant I didn't have to go for Crit Draw or Weakness Exploit, so I could either focus on utility skills like Quick Sheath and Focus, or you could spec into straight damage increases. Handicraft +1, as well, for purple. Is this a good idea, or am I just dumb?
