Long Sword Silkbind Attacks

Here are the details for the new Silkbind Attacks of Long Sword Hunters:

Silkbind Attack Silkbind Attack Description
Monster Hunter Rise - Long Sword Hunter Silkbind Attack Serene PoseSerene Pose Serene Pose is a long sword Silkbind Attack which offers the hunter a chance to retaliate when struck by an enemy’s attack. There’s a barrier that forms around the hunter to indicate that the counter can be activated when hit. The hunter needs to draw the weapon beforehand to make use of it. Between the two new attacks, Serene Pose is easier to use.
Soaring Kick Soaring Kick is another Silkbind Attack that involves the use of a Wirebug. The hunter takes to the skies with the help of a Wirebug to deliver a Plunging Thrust. When it connects, the wielder earns spirit gauge temporarily. Time the button press during the kick to execute a Spirit Helm Breaker at the cost of spirit gauge.
Monster Hunter Rise - Long Sword Hunter Silkbind Attack Sakura SlashSilkbind Sakura Slash Can be switched out with Soaring Kick. A technique which consists of a tornado-like fashion and connects with a cleave using a Wirebug. Over time, the hit causes several lacerations which add up as damage. The hunter’s spirit gauge gains a charge.
