Varied combos and the power of the Spirit Blade
The Long Sword is built for attacking: wide reach, many hits and strong single blows. With combos that chain freely and the Spirit Blade saved for the right moment, it deals a lot of damage in a short time. Its main feature is the Spirit Gauge, which fills each time you hit a monster. When it is full, the gauge flashes for 30 seconds, your Attack goes up and your attacks bounce off less. You can also spend the gauge on a powerful Spirit Blade. After that, keep attacking to fill it again. The basic way to play the Long Sword is to keep the gauge full at all times so your Attack and Sharpness stay raised. If you go 30 seconds or more without landing a hit, the gauge starts to drop, so be careful. For all its attacks, the Long Sword cannot guard, so danger is never far away. Use its long reach and fight from a distance you can get away from quickly.
