MH Rise Long Sword Build Guide
In terms of playstyle, theLong Swordis one of the most fluid weapons in the game, allowing the hunter to continuously deal damage to the monster with minimal downtime in between attacks. This is mostly thanks to the arsenal of counter attacks that the Long Sword possesses, which help it to avoid devastating attacks from monsters while simultaneously allowing it to transition smoothly from attack sequence to attack sequence. This ability to string attack sequences together via counters is the key reason why the Long Sword has such fluid gameplay. Where most weapons have to reset and reposition themselves after a successful attack sequence to avoid being hit by the monster, the Long Sword can unleash an attack sequence, counter any incoming attacks from the monster, and immediately enter into the next attack sequence without ever stopping. Because of this, the Long Sword reaps the most benefits from skills that improve its fluidity in battle and allow it to capitalize on its ability to deal continuous damage without needing to pause in between attacks.

MH Rise Long Sword Elemental Status or Raw Damage?
The Long Sword isa pretty good "all-around" weapon that can dish out decent damage with both raw and elemental builds. However, because raw damage has the added benefit of being increased by critical hits, the best builds are typically those that maximize attack power and affinity. Unfortunately, because elemental/status damage is unaffected by critical hits by default, raw damage/affinity builds tend to outperform elemental/status builds. With that having beensaid, that doesn't mean that elemental/status is useless on Long Sword, and there are even certain situations in which elemental builds yield more DPS than raw damage builds when used against the right monster and with the right build.
