The Monster Hunter Now greatsword is a powerful weapon with high risk but high reward damage potential. It has a very long wind-up time, especially if you’re using its charge attack move, so it takes some time getting used to it. To compensate, you do have the option to shove a monster during the wind-up and this weapon type has a much better range compared to, say, the starting sword and shield. Sometime the best strategy is to poke an enemy with a quick swipe instead of trying to hit with a charged strike too often. You’ll unlock the greatsword weapon type by advancing to Chapter 2 as part of the story. Here’s a detailed list of great sword weapons that you can obtain in MH Now for iPhone and Android.
