I've only played MHF2 but I think they're awesome.? ? Of the weapons introduced in MHF2, I think the LS is the most versatile weapon that encourages offensive play.? ? My favorite so far is the Blangonga Destructor like you said because of its ice element, high sharpness, affinity, and higher ATPs then the general LS.
