User blog comment:BurnZ/Monster Hunter - Dual Swords or Long Sword in MHP3 or MH3?/@comment-182.7.197.80-20120319015839

longsword is the second easiest weapon to use after SnS (sword & shield) with stronger attack and combo. I choose longsword as my main weapon and lance as secondary ( to collect material). The key of using longsword is using fade slash a lot, for faster/smaller monster or whatever monster that hard to hit fade slash is handy also useful for dodging monster attack., LS attack is almost as strong as great sword and with full spirit combo its attack very deadly. Using Dual sword Requires lots of skill, Hit & Run the best combination when using it, find opportunity based on monster behavior/attack pattern. expect long time battle when using dual swords and don't forget bring extra whetstones.
