Hey, everyone! It's ThrillBone, and I'm thrilled to be back with another Monster Hunter Now guide.
Today, we're diving deep into mastering the perfect counters with the Long Sword. I've received plenty of comments from you all, asking, "TBone, how do you nail those perfect counters?" Well, today is your lucky day because we're going to break it down, practice it, and make sure you're landing those counters like a pro. We'll also touch on perfect evades, which are more accessible to every class.
So, without further ado, let's jump right in!
Getting Started
Before we dive into the perfect counters, here's a piece of advice - practice is the key. You've got to go for those counters and build your confidence in the process. Don't worry if you don't get them right every time; it's all part of the learning curve. In a game where health is precious, practicing your counters is essential. Keep in mind that you only have five daily potions, so it's vital to make every hit count.
Perfect Counters with the Long Sword
After the recent update, you can attempt a quest up to three times if you fail. But, let's get into the specifics of perfect counters with the Long Sword. The key to a perfect counter is hitting it right as the monster's attack is about to land. You need to time it so that you have a split-second of invincibility right before the attack hits you. This means you've got to wait for the attack to come close to you.
Now, practice is essential here. Start by fighting a variety of monsters and learning their move sets. The goal is to recognize when to execute a counter. Some attacks have different windows for landing counters, so it's important to become familiar with each monster's attack patterns.
Nailing the Perfect Counter
Let's illustrate this by going into combat. As a monster is about to strike, wait until the attack is almost upon you - it's that split-second before you're hit. Release your counter move, and if timed right, you'll execute a perfect counter. Remember, it's okay not to get it right every time. Sometimes the timing will be too early, and you'll take damage. But practice makes perfect.

Perfect Evades:
Perfect evades, available to all classes, are executed in a similar time frame. Just as the attack is about to land, execute the evade. It's a bit more challenging but equally important. Practice and mastering the monster's move sets are the keys to nailing perfect evades. I have also written a special trick for getting perfect evades/dodges every single time - A must-learn move!

Monster Examples:
Here are a few examples using different monsters. Monsters like Diablos can be great for practicing perfect counters since they have clear and straightforward attack patterns. Others, like this more erratic foe, can be trickier. The key is recognizing when to counter, and that comes with experience.
Conclusion:
Perfect counters and perfect evades in Monster Hunter Now may not come naturally at first, but with practice, you'll become a master. Don't be afraid to try and fail; it's all part of the learning process. Learning a monster's move set is crucial, and that knowledge will help you know when to execute your counters.
Remember, practice, practice, practice! Build your confidence, and over time, you'll be landing perfect counters like a pro. Thanks for reading, and I hope this guide helps you on your Monster Hunter journey. Stay smooth, and until next time. Happy hunting, everyone! 🗡️🎮
