SnS work Well against all but the largest monsters such as the Gravios, Plesioth, Lavisoth, Ukanalos, Lao and Shen Gaoren. All in all the SnS is by far my favoriet weapon, because while difficult to solo with it is not impossible it adds a futher element of challenge to the game. My favoriet SnS would have to be either the Queens Rapier+ or the Indigo Ogre Sword, because the IOS is so long it makes a great general purpose weapon; the Queens Rapier is also great for general purpose and it makes probably the best support weapon in the game because it can easily posion Elder Dragons among other things. In the end if you enjoy a weapon that is incredibly versatile in exchange for power the SnS is your Weapon of choice.
