MHW Iceborne | Alatreon (SnS) | 4'51"46 (TA Rules) 

It’s surprising at a glance, but if you look a little deeper into it, it makes a lot of sense. SnS only hits those massive numbers when doing Perfect Rush, a highly committal move (for SnS, at least). Perfect Rush also hits pretty slowly compared to DB, consisting of a total of 5 sword hits and 2 shield hits, each one harder to pull off than the last. DB’s demon fangs or blade dance combos have a lot more hits. I’ve never bothered to count them, but you hit at least 10 or 15 times in a blade dance, probably more. SnS’s other, faster moves like its basic slash combo are considerably weaker. Lastly, Perfect Rush requires a specific start up, that being a backstep or slinger burst. DB’s combos, on the other hand, can be done literally whenever as long as you have stamina, which isn’t an issue if you have a decently comfy build. So basically you can consider perfect rush to be SnS’s signature ultimate attack, which is why it hits so hard. The frostcraft definitely also helped.

Nah DB has most melee DPS so y’all don’t need high dmg per hit and y’all do well with elemental.

Haven’t you ever heard of the legendary weapon (great)Sword and Shield?

@@TheMaeximum no....NO!!!

Thank you! Trying to time the elemental topple to skip his flight is definitely one of the hardest parts about this fight lol.
