Best weapon to break parts and cut tails?

It’s been a long time since I played Monster Hunter Rise on Switch originally, and I got it again for the PC since Sunbreak is amazing. Been a GreatSword main for a long time since 3 Ultimate, with Insect Glaive a second main since it’s inception. Having my background covered, are there better weapons to break parts and cut tails? I don’t speedrun at all, and like to make it my priority to break all the parts and tail of a monster before capping or slaying them for funsies. Been contemplating if status like blast or sleep would help me out more as well for this goal. Any advice, fellow hunters, I will appreciate all your efforts! :D
