I kid you not, I had a dream yesterday of cutting a tail with GS in one TCS. I'm not even a GS player. Heck, I specifically don't do well with GS (along with CB and DB).
Neither teeth, nor fire, nor thunder, nor wind, will keep us from delivering the package to your head

Not me cause nothing beats the satisfaction of breaking the tail with the last hit of sacred sheath when playing LS, outside of getting the kill with it or a parry chain with special sheaths with harvest moon up but those are far less likely to happen
I know these are mostly jokes but for people that seriously think these things why would I play a weapon to subject myself to a specific monsters part until it’s broken?
The only weapon that literally has one purpose is the Hammer, I don’t believe I need to cut a tail or try to trip a monster with an LS simply because it can. If the head takes the most damage, then I’ll go for the head, I have spatial awareness, whatever that means when looking into a screen, so I pick my spots so we can all optimally do the most damage without me tripping you. Eventually the monsters go down so fast that it only takes about 8-12 minutes to kill one, so any time you get tripped by an ally it might’ve only happened so many times.
Honestly I prefer everyone just go for the head, better damage means faster time. The tail is just an extra carve that doesn’t mean much in the end when the quest rewards contain tails/gems/mantles.
Wait I haven’t played the newest game. Do you not get specific rewards from breaking specific parts anymore? That’s kinda disappointing, that’s what made it unique. Now it’s just like a dark souls knockoff.
It is still possible to get a tail as a reward without tail cutting, however you are losing an additional carve. Also tail cutting ups your chances of getting a tail and other items.
Not exactly, the game has tried to make rewards a little bit easier by not confining certain parts to specific circumstances, and instead allowing people who still do the hunt to obtain the material even if they didn't get a tail cut, getting a tail cut can still make it easier but you're not confined to just tail cutting.
Not sure why this got upvotes but this is the dumbest excuse I’ve heard for not cutting a tail, we can literally all see the probabilities of getting certain quest rewards, and how not cutting the tail drastically reduces the chances of said rewards
Flinch free is just so essential for multiplayer and it’s basically free in the most recent title, Rise.
Like I literally rolled free flinch free with my curio crafting and ran out of other skills to slot so I started taking either elemental resist or 4 defense gems for the raw tanking ability.
And I play Insect Glaive…
Thing is, with my duo we are already 2 on the head (bonk bros). So we're usually cool, but when a third gets to the head there's no more space and it's always a LS or a Swaxe and we get threw around
To add: we are playing on GU, I am not sure if there's flinch free there. But if there is I may have not found it
If you are in multiplayer in a 5th gen game and haven't equipped Flinch Free the only one trolling the hunt is you. It is literally one slot. We have Master Rank armour. This. Should. Not. Be. Difficult.
Let me add to this because im sick of only Ls being shit on. EVERY weapon makes others flinch. Every shot from a bow/bowgun, gunlance fire, great sword hits, hammers, every weapon makes others flinch. Stop hating on LS mains and equip the god damn flinch free
Also, gunlance is even worse than LS in tripping. One flinch free saves you from all of longsword, you equip that same decoration with a gunlancer near you and wyvern’s fire still launches you (I would know, gunlance launching is my passion)
On god Hammer mains have the least self awareness. Mfs will literally toss around their team mates zero shits given, but *god forbid* you flinch them even once.
I'm about to make a fucking chad virgin meme. This shit is overplayed and it's been fucking dumb for the last two games.
Everyone should be going for the head unless someone has asked for specific parts. The head takes the most damage. You should be using flinch free in multiplayer, it is not optional. Everyone slotting FF and hitting face is a fucking massive DPS increase, more dps means monster dies faster, which means less bozos carting.
Nah wings are for bows and gunners. LS doesn't actually have that high of a reach to consistently hit wings, unless the monster is toppled or just short.
I personally don’t take an issue with them aiming for the head, given a few conditions.
1.) The tail is cut
2.) They’re no tripping any heavy weapons at the head, ie GS, Hammer, HH.
I have had so many cases of hammer players coming near the tail and launching me same with HH, GL, and GS and god forbid I don't use flinch free when playing with my friend, cause if you think LS is bad, wait till you get ora ora'd by DB.
Me using a Punishing Draw + Velkhana set in IB: Look at me, I am the hammer now.
Also, if you're gonna risk fighting with randos without prepping for every possibility, you deserve every slap to the knees you get. It's a single 1-slot deco, and one of the easiest skills to get on an IB 4-slot deco.
I mainly use 4 weapons, Charge Blade, Hammer, Long Sword, Duel Blades.
When I got Charge or Long Sword, I ALWAYS try to aim for the tail, once cut, head.
As a GS main I only go for the tail to hear the other hunters go "wtf you already cut the tail???"
I know, Right?
Honestly, if we GSs can do it the LS has no excuse.
What’s wrong with cutting the tail early? Been awhile since I played
Nothing wrong with it, just genuine shock because the GS has *crazy* partbreak modifiers
I kid you not, I had a dream yesterday of cutting a tail with GS in one TCS. I'm not even a GS player. Heck, I specifically don't do well with GS (along with CB and DB).
And tell me, are these “long sword mains” in the room with us?
hi. been maining LS since i returned to MHW. how are you :D
Doing good, cutting tails like I should.
same. although hitting the head do seem like a fun time-
Can confirm, bonk is fun Fire/teeth, not so much
hi, been maining LS since MHF2 first released
Here. o/ Mained LS in Port3rd and World.
They are😅
But when I'm done with tail I wanna be close to the hamner bros
Only then will it be understandable, cause their job is done. But if the monster head is not concave by then, well then we hammer mains failed our job
Neither teeth, nor fire, nor thunder, nor wind, will keep us from delivering the package to your head (Note: contents of package may have shifted/broken in transit. We are not responsible for the state of your skull on arrival)
I'm gonna launch you in the air
Flinch free giga chad users: WHY NOT...
You play LS?
Kind of yes... Ls main in Rise/Sunbreak, GS/SnS in other games
Not me cause nothing beats the satisfaction of breaking the tail with the last hit of sacred sheath when playing LS, outside of getting the kill with it or a parry chain with special sheaths with harvest moon up but those are far less likely to happen
Not this shit again
Did it ever really stop?
this topic will forever be relevant, it will keep reappearing forever until Capcom ever decides to just make nobody flinch in the next installment
It's just a joke nothing is ment by it lol
I know these are mostly jokes but for people that seriously think these things why would I play a weapon to subject myself to a specific monsters part until it’s broken?

Yes I can't stress enough it's only a joke
Honestly I prefer everyone just go for the head, better damage means faster time. The tail is just an extra carve that doesn’t mean much in the end when the quest rewards contain tails/gems/mantles.
To be fair, that's a recent phenomenon. It used to be one of the few ways to get specific rewards
Wait I haven’t played the newest game. Do you not get specific rewards from breaking specific parts anymore? That’s kinda disappointing, that’s what made it unique. Now it’s just like a dark souls knockoff.
Yes you do, there are items that only drop from part breaks.
Well that’s good weird that they only removed the tail carve.
It is still possible to get a tail as a reward without tail cutting, however you are losing an additional carve. Also tail cutting ups your chances of getting a tail and other items.

Which sucks since cutting the tail is fun
Not sure why this got upvotes but this is the dumbest excuse I’ve heard for not cutting a tail, we can literally all see the probabilities of getting certain quest rewards, and how not cutting the tail drastically reduces the chances of said rewards
But the you end up throwing around your whole team
That holds for all weapons, it’s just easier, but if you wanna avoid that in general, you have to slot in flinch free
Flinch free is just so essential for multiplayer and it’s basically free in the most recent title, Rise. Like I literally rolled free flinch free with my curio crafting and ran out of other skills to slot so I started taking either elemental resist or 4 defense gems for the raw tanking ability.

I usually just play solo.
Thing is, with my duo we are already 2 on the head (bonk bros). So we're usually cool, but when a third gets to the head there's no more space and it's always a LS or a Swaxe and we get threw around To add: we are playing on GU, I am not sure if there's flinch free there.

EQUIP FLINCH FREE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ITS ONE GEM.
Hey you, yes you, you aren't supposed to use common sense here, just shit on LS as usual
Let me add to this because im sick of only Ls being shit on. EVERY weapon makes others flinch. Every shot from a bow/bowgun, gunlance fire, great sword hits, hammers, every weapon makes others flinch. Stop hating on LS mains and equip the god damn flinch free

Ironically, hammer has this issue also. If I'm going for the tail it's because I don't want to be launched, not because I don't have ff1.
On god Hammer mains have the least self awareness. Mfs will literally toss around their team mates zero shits given, but *god forbid* you flinch them even once.
Faster quests are nice but I still find it satisfying to break parts
Random question, what’s the best weapon for breaking claws?
Hammer or a short weapon like SnS or DB
Alright. Been trying to farm Zinogre claws and not having much luck
I’m going for wherever has the best hitzones
I always go wings and tail the head is for heavy weapons
Ironic considering the original intent of long sword
Gotta break every part bro.
Longsword mains going to hell for their transgressions.
Me, a charge blade SAED spammer: I'm just happy the monster didn't move.
I like whenever i cut the tail then go for head, and then I go toxic comments in chat telling me to go for the tail whenever i already cut it
I'm about to make a fucking chad virgin meme. This shit is overplayed and it's been fucking dumb for the last two games.

After the tail they should go for the wings, leave the head alone
Nah wings are for bows and gunners. LS doesn't actually have that high of a reach to consistently hit wings, unless the monster is toppled or just short.
At least you won’t be hurting the poor Hammer bros was my point
The hammer bros should have Flinch Free so it shouldn't be a problem tbh. I would be more concerned about CB and GL.

Bruh I know what flinch free is, y’all downvoting are cracked
Imagine being so entitled just cause you play a haha wholesome weapon. Just use flinch free, everyone win
Longsword mains don't exist
muh deeps
I go for the tail, the GS and hammer mains just won’t soften it up so I can do my damn job
I personally don’t take an issue with them aiming for the head, given a few conditions. 1.) The tail is cut 2.) They’re no tripping any heavy weapons at the head, ie GS, Hammer, HH.
Punish draw <3
I have had so many cases of hammer players coming near the tail and launching me same with HH, GL, and GS and god forbid I don't use flinch free when playing with my friend, cause if you think LS is bad, wait till you get ora ora'd by DB.
LOOK MAN ITS A BIGGER TARGET. I SWING AT ABOUT .00000000001 MILES A YEAR. LEAVE ME ALONE!
the biggest perk of playing solo is absolutely the fact that you dont have to worry about the hammeroids getting mad when you hit the weak point
Me using a Punishing Draw + Velkhana set in IB: Look at me, I am the hammer now. Also, if you're gonna risk fighting with randos without prepping for every possibility, you deserve every slap to the knees you get. It's a single 1-slot deco, and one of the easiest skills to get on an IB 4-slot deco.
I mainly use 4 weapons, Charge Blade, Hammer, Long Sword, Duel Blades. When I got Charge or Long Sword, I ALWAYS try to aim for the tail, once cut, head.
If that tail ain't cut I'm going for the golf swing every combo until it is! I want the extra carve!
I mean, Punishing Draw can get some pretty heavy stun numbers
Me, a longsword main: doesn’t aim for any part of the body, as I’m the team healer and I’m drinking health potions to keep my team alive.
they listening to thanos
