Best Build Armor for Great Sword Players (Before Anjanath)

The Great Sword is a powerful weapon that can deal massive damage with its charged attacks.

But it also has drawbacks, such as its slow speed and its clash with the health system’s playstyle. It requires skill and timing to use it.

Armor	Skill and Grade
Kulu Ya-Ku Helmet	G2 Lock On 1, G4 Critical Eye 1
Leather Mail	G2 Attack Boost, G4 Fire Resistance
Great Girros Vambraces	G2 Sneak Attack1 , G6 Earplugs 1
Leather Coil	G2 Health Boost 1, G4 Water Resistance
Jyurotadus Greaves	G3 Focus 1, G4 Last Stand 1, G6 Focus 2

The list below shows elemental great sword weapons you can find in the game Monster Hunter Now:

Weapon Choice	Monster	Description
Blooming Blade	Pukei	A good choice, like other Pukei weapons. It has the same basic material as Ore, with added poison, which makes it a good option.
Girros Blade	Girros	A good option if you can work with Paralysis as a strategy. It gives you a lengthy opportunity to evade and strike a powerful True Charge Slash (non-special) on the monster’s vulnerable spot.
Carapace Buster	Barroth	Unfortunately, currently the Great Sword with the highest raw power has lower damage than other weapons. However, it is still the best option if you prioritize pure damage.
Thunder Blade	Tobi-Kadachi	The only Thunder Great Sword that is currently available. It is perfect for using against Jyura or the Raths when elemental attacks are needed.
Aqua Slasher	Jyuratodus	Your Water Greatsword is superior to the Jagras version. By investing in elemental damage, it becomes the primary Water Greatsword.
Freeze Blade	Legiana	The Ice Great Sword is especially good against Diablos. Even though it’s not used much, it has great stats.
Flame Blade	Rathalos	It has better stats and looks more attractive than Anjanath. The preferred Great Sword for fire battles is the Fire GS. It’s ideal for displaying your skills in the 1000 degree Great Sword challenge.
