New events in Monster Hunter World have allowed for some upgrading of previous end-game builds. This article will give you an idea for powerful Longsword builds that are fun and effective. Arch Tempered Teostra brought the Kaiser Armor γ to the game which I will focus on in these builds.
MHW: Kaiser Gamma Longsword Builds
Before we had Kulve Taroth, Dante, and Arch Temp Vaal, most of the end game armor was Death Stench, Dober, Dragonking Eyepatch, Kushala, and Nergigante. Most armor sets used the handicraft charm to raise sharpness to white. Now we have more options to customize builds, below are some examples.
