Counter is a skilled technique, but can be difficult for first-time monsters. We recommend wearing the Alsh Greatsword and Mumumu Homu and adding Draw Attack 1 to secure 50% Affinity when drawing the weapon. Draw Attack applies to Charged Slash 3, and Strong Charged Slash 1 and 2.

Just Tackle allows you to maintain your charge when used in time with the monster's attack. If you charge in advance and succeed with Just Tackle, you can immediately perform a level 3 charged enhanced attack. Useful for Draw Attack Greatsword play due to the application of Draw Attack.

If you find Counter difficult at first, start with Draw Attack Greatsword to get used to the monster's patterns before using Counter. For monsters like Gomagala, Draw Attack Greatsword may be more effective than Counter. Use a hybrid approach: use Draw Attack Greatsword until you know the monster, then switch to Counter once you're familiar.

The Valstrax Greatsword is an easy weapon to use against all monsters. Recommended for both beginners and experts, and effective against difficult monsters. Particularly well-suited for certain monsters (e.g., Jyuratodus).

Switch to Counter play once you learn the monster's patterns while using Draw Attack Greatsword. Prefer using level 1 decorations such as Anti-Paralysis Jewel, Anti-Stun Jewel, and Recovery Jewel. Improve health sustain with the Mogu 4-piece set effect. Recommend a safe and standard setup for beginners.

Flexibly deal with monsters using Tackle, Guard, and Counter. If you prefer Counter play, remove Quick Sheath and add Guard Performance or Resistance skills. Aggressive setups (Hobuho Gogu) are not recommended due to low defense. Lower Critical Eye level and utilize Fortitude skill when playing with a focus on Guard. The Artia Greatsword is not preferred due to its appearance; sharpness management is important.
