Couple things from a swax main. You only have to wild swing twice to do the overhead slam to buff axe mode. And during your focus mode attack you can switch to sword mode to finish with an instant full discharge and you can combo that into the full release. But yeah swagaxe is sick and I’m stoked.
@ I haven’t seen an in depth guide for wilds yet. But I’ll come back when I see one. Arreks is pretty good but not super in depth. I recommend learning what moves fill your gauges fastest. And then your bread and butter big damage will be your discharge and full release.
@@CV-fb9kf look up a guy named bloody wyverian. He’s one of the best swaxe mains I’ve ever seen and has some good guides from world. None from wilds yet but I’m sure he’ll make one soon
Looks awesome, hope you will put out more of these for different weapons! I became a SnS main after your videos about learning SnS in world, I hope the perfect rush damage is still crazy in wilds, but interested in the swaxe, the IG, and the hammer too
Surprised you didn't like it in World, it's not all that different in Wilds, albeit definitely improved. So great finding another weapon you love! I've fallen in love with the gunlance in Wilds. I'm thinking of running two setups; Charge Blade x Gunlance, and Switchaxe x Hammer
as a LS main, i always wanted to use it since world. never really had the chance to dive deep with it, but i've been playing with many different weapons in wilds beta that i havent really used as much and for some reason they really did a great job having a good feel with each weapon. i got to play more switchaxe in the beta and its pretty cool! i still need to learn how to do the crazier moves, but its still fun!
This looks dope. But i still want a TRUE to form battleaxe... with some kind of berserker mode... like a variant of demon mode from the duel blades, but with super heavy strikes.
The only thing I don’t like about SA in Wild, is the guage icon. Might just be me, but when I sit in my living room, I have a pretty hard time seeing the info in the guage. It’s just so small and the visuals doesn’t pop as much. In World, I only needed to glance at the corner, to see my guage info.
Gunlance is amazing in Wilds. Yeah im certain on 4 weapons in two setups; CB & GL, Swaxe & Hammer. Also loving the new bow, unsure what to pair with it, maybe bug stick 🤔
Been using db and gunlance. This game also had me reawaken my CB main days 😂 especially with the overcharged phials. I said i was gonna use something different this gen but I cant resist LS 😂 I started in 4u maining cb and ig, then world was ls and gs, rise was hbg n lance, now? Ive narrowed it down to gunlance, db, cb, and LS. But idk which two i want to do the play through to end game with
I gotta disagree. The whole weapon feels like a significant downgrade from World/Iceborne and Rise/Sunbreak Sword Gauge feels like it disappears so fast now, and no longer regenerates on its own unless sheared. Axe attacks only regenerate it if they connect now unlike before. You can’t do a morph attack once you reach 0 sword gauge anymore. The spinning morph can no longer be stopped halfway like it could in rise. The sword counter takes chip damage and a lot of sword gauge and does feel like it hits monsters all that reliably. Elemental Burst Counter was perfect, and I miss it already. The weapon feels like a downgrade tbh. Still gonna main it though since I’m a Switch Axe Main through thick and thin.
@@DearGamerTVthat's crazy...next time as soon as u feel the symptoms of a cold beginning(for me it's itchy throat) take 1000mg vitamin c like 3x a day...should get rid of it quick..
Got to admit Swax looks pretty good, but we haven't really seen how longsword looks with all the skills. I'm thinking with quick sheath 3, evade extender 3, powerprolonger 3 and focus 3 i can't wait to see how crazy we can go in the full game
@DearGamerTV its mostly speedrunner numbers, but sa is really scraping the bottom in terms of overall dps thus far. Hopefully so far its because so few folks are using sa, but a majority of weapons are doing twice as much damage for much less effort.
@@Jpmrocks7 Twice as much? Are you on something? I absolutely shredded all of the monsters in the beta, took down rey in sub 10 easy. It's most def a skill issue.
@@eawavy2316 Thats not the issue, it wont matter how optimized the set is, if the weapon itself overall does extremely poor damage. Sa isnt like gunlance where you can slap a skill on it and level it up. Sorry for worrying about a weapon I've used for 14 years suddenly getting boned over out of nowhere.
Nah bro SA is far from insane. Was amazing in rise. It’s complete ass right now. Never used LS til this demo and already getting similar kill times to the only weapon I’ve used over the last 5 years.
@@Hale_89 yep. Unfortunately only switchaxe mains know it's ass once we got our hands on it. So many youtubers who've never touched the weapon before are using it on a punching bag monster and going whoa it's insane🙄 0 understanding of its intricacy

Played since MHW and love MH. Switch Axe always appealed to me but I just can’t figure it out. Any beginners guides you’d recommend?

@ thanks bro
This weapon is a blessing in Rise Sunbreak.
Hope they get the rest of the move in Wilds DLC.
Mr. Whiskers hitting puberty was not on my 2024 bingo card.
On the sword mode, when you do the counter, you can follow up with a kind of jump spin attack

Longsword is my go to weapon. But the Switchaxe was outstanding in sunbreak what a fun weapon to play with.
I mained hammer in World but I might have found my new main , it looks so fluid
switch axe gang
5:07 to latch, press and hold elemental discharge buttons?

I heavily disagree with the switch axe being busted. Feels a lot clunkier and weaker than it was in rise/world
This looks dope. But i still want a TRUE to form battleaxe... with some kind of berserker mode... like a variant of demon mode from the duel blades, but with super heavy strikes.
So savage axe from charge blade
I feel like chargeblade seems to be getting the fastest kills if played semi optimally. Even faster than LS
Can you post your camera/ control settings
I'm a switch axe main, and my man ...I'm cooking 😎

@Arkardu check your settings. There's size options for almost everything related to the hud.
swaxe, and gunlance while sprinkling a little Insect glaive. or greatsword for that nostalgia, cant decide.
Gunlance is amazing in Wilds. Yeah im certain on 4 weapons in two setups; CB & GL, Swaxe & Hammer.

Thus was my main for years in world till i fell in love with LS

weapon looks sick

You need to do the counter it’s really sweet!
Seeing some times on wilds videos, switch axe seems underpowered
Someone call PETA!!
❤ my second fave😢 it's marvelous
Why is noone talking about the morph attaks? How many are there? Are they good? Need to know
Same as world, the long one. It doesn't have morph combo of rise which is a shame. I hope they bring it back in expansion or smth
You didn't like the switch axe in World? Looked like you were having a helluva time with it to me. Lol
Is ZSD same as world or rise?
You sound so tired. Are you good?
Getting over a cold, the whole house is sick

The consistency my brother 💪🏿
Good job now they going to nerf it 😅

I'll be honest apart from QS(if it's like rise), all the other skills are unnecessary and better to swap it with attack boosts and crit eyes
Heres to hoping SwAx gets buffed, as fluid as it is, its one of the weakest weapons in the beta.
Hmmm damage seemed fine in my hunts
