4. Best Long Sword Weapons in Monster Hunter Now

Here are some recommendations for long sword weapons in the monster hunter now game:

Weapon Choice	Monster	Description
First Dance	Kulu Yaku	The most powerful Long Sword that has a high raw stat and increased affinity. A reliable option for advancing.
Wyvern Blade	Rathian	This is a good choice if you don’t want to use a Kulu weapon. It’s slightly less powerful, but not by much.
Pulsar Shotel	Tobi-Kadachi	This is the only Long Sword that has the Thunder element. It is not very impressive, but it can be useful against monsters that are weak to Thunder.
Jyura Shotel	Jyuratodus	This is the Water Long Sword, which has impressive stats and is suitable for fighting monsters that are vulnerable to Water.
Glacial Shotel	Legiana	This is the only Long Sword that has the Ice element. It has great stats and is mainly used for fighting Diablos, a monster that is weak to Ice.
Wyvern Blade	Rathalos	The superior Fire Long Sword with more impressive stats than Amanath. A recommended choice for fire matchups without any compelling reason to opt for another weapon.

5. Best Elemental Sets for Longsword in Monster Hunter Now

Element becomes essential once you reach the 8-star or 9-star content. Monsters in these levels have absurdly high attack requirements that only Element can help you meet.

For instance, a 9-star Legiana demands over 2400 Attack! Don’t worry, though, you don’t need to focus on it right away. Raw will still work for a while.
