Monster Hunter Rise or MHR has many different weapons with many build possibilities, one such weapon is the greatsword. In Monster Hunter Rise, you can use many different combinations to create powerful builds. Due to the large number of interchangeable things that are used when creating a build, new builds often appear. Let’s take a look at some of the best builds for Greatsword.
Best builds for Greatsword in MHR
Here are some of the best big sword builds in Monster Hunter Rise:
- Punishment Draw Build
- Rage Slash build
- meat chops
- Ice Assembly
- High rank build
Punishment Draw Build
This build is one of the strongest when it comes to critical strike. The Punishing Draw Build has 100 health steal critical hits. It won’t be in the Curious addon set and has a simple charm. This makes it so that the RNG does not affect your ability to compose this set. While it doesn’t have the maximum possible damage, it’s a fun two-handed sword build in MHR.
Rage Slash build
If you like True Charge and Rage Slash then this build is for you. This build focuses on getting as much damage as possible. While both True Charge and Rage Slash are great, for this build, Rage Slash is where it focuses. With Rage Slash, you can tank a hit monster for 30 less damage and then land a hit that’s only 10 less than True Charge. Along with good damage, this makes for an interesting play style.
meat chops
The Meaty Chops build uses the unique looking two-handed sword Tigrix. This build gives you great and easy ways to ride the monster you are fighting. Dealing damage with a relentlessly charged slash deals progressively more damage. This allows you to land multiple large damage hits with a single charged swing. All in all a fun build to play with Greatsword in MHR.
Ice Assembly
This Frostcraft build combines Frostcraft Guard and Offensive Guard. This is very suitable for playing with a strong hand. Frostcraft has been greatly improved in the current state of Monster Hunter’s rise, making it one of the best two-handed sword builds in MHR.
High rank build
This build is for high ranks, as the name suggests. The build focuses on high-level gameplay and the use of certain tricks or “cheesy”tactics. It puts emphasis on Focus with all the jewels that increase it, so you can gain charges faster with this one. This is a great build for an experienced MHR player.
