MHW: IB | Fatalis Longsword Counter and Helmbreaker Guide

Quick sheath 2 is used in all clips shown.

Please only Helmbreaker on red spirit gauge, you do less damage otherwise.

There are more openings, but they either require teammates to pull off or too inconsistent/risky. For example, when Fatalis does the long bite attack on players standing on the cannon platform (in phase 1), you can Helmbreaker Fatalis on the head by aiming at Fatalis' legs then moving towards the head. Or when Fatalis does the downward flame throwing attack, you can Helmbreaker through the flames while tanking hits.
