I am definitely an SAED type player. I like the massive hit, the guard points, and all that jazz. That said, lately I’ve been incorporating more Savage Axe as well. It can be a great way to take advantage of small openings that are too risky for an SAED
If u like saed spam I'd recomend only using it for big openings, mainly get the savage axe off and then flinch shot. But both playstyles are super viable. While savage axe has more raw dps, its way harder to use and has less mobility and safety. Whatever playstyle does more damage for the most player really just depends on which playstyle u play best. Match ups also matter alot, same with switch axe. If the monster moves really fast like tigrex or nargacuga then it might be better to use saed spam. But if it's slower like teostra than savage axe might be better
I like savage axe, and it’s funny that it takes a typically complicated weapon, and turns it into, swing axe, charge axe, swing again. People think CB is complicated, and then CB users just swing axe around like a monkey.
When I picked up CB, I initially went for the SAED style, but then discovered Savage Axe by accident and now that's the main way I use it (I'm still in the process of making some good CBs on PS, but I'm running exclusively CB on PC)
I have played CB for 45 hours, using only Amped elemental discharge. I had no idea about shield or sword charging. 2 weeks ago I started doing SAEDs now I will try the legendary pizza cutter. What I like most about this weapon, si that i always learn something new about it
Hey Dan, I bring this up because I thought it was odd it wasn't mentioned in the original cb video, nor here (I did see you do it once in the gameplay clips used, so you might be aware, but friendly heads up either way). You can (should) be using AED cancel (pull back on directional as you initiate SAED). This is faster, only consumes 1 phial so you don't lose SA mode, and maximizes your punish chains (fliches/knocks/gp counters, etc.). Also, especially since this video was related to pizza cutter, possibly mention it's gp usefulness. Even if you don't prefer SA mode, its transition gp being added in IB was one of the best additions to cb kit imo, giving the ability to wind up for more punishes during attack chains while still being able to cancel into a gp that can then either re-intiate the punish or chain into another gp. Happy hunting
I'm aware! I choose not to include everything. The videos designed to be comprehensive toolkits for players to build off, rather than info dumps. Definitely a useful move though!
Never knew how to this and ive been playing only charge blade lol i saw that lil icon pop up and noticed someones axe spinning on a yt vid and my hunt began lol
Here I was thinking that it was a specific upgrade/CB. Just booted the game and hit left trigger, ow lord. the damage I could have done in my previous 12 hour game play 😩😩
I want to try the axe but I just don't know how to dodge in this game so it's too risky. I feel safe behind my shield and just throw S/AED here and there. For the rest of the time, SnS mode.
I like both, but ofc I've always love big hitting numbers, THATS WHY IM SO SAD, that wilds seems to be focusing on forcing us to use more savage axe by having SAED have just laughable numbers, i really hope they take the feedback and balance them to be good together, because i would love to keep using both, but if they keep my SAED as it is, i think i would probably drop the CHB altogether :(
Subscribe already!! What are you doing?! Wilds is coming out and you're gonna miss out if you don't subscribe. Get on it, doggone it! I did use CB for a good while but SAED. Honestly, I may have to dip back in to give Savage Axe an honest try. The reason I gave up CB was missing so many of those massive SAED hits. I'm just not accurate. So whipping around a giant buzzsaw in huge arcs does seem more feasible to me. I only wish I had more time to play! Thanks for the video, Dan, you're the best!
You're the GOAT as usual mate I totally get it, I'm the same with the SAED style, Savage Axe is farrr more forgiving - low commitment, no big deal if you miss a swing or two, SO much fun!
I am greatsword main its my bestfriend but recently im trying out savage axe blast I want to try out paralysis savage axe but dont know what the best weapon for it

SAED 🤝 Savage Axe

DEFINITELY makes it more accessible, which I really love too
Unfortunately, one of the most effective combo of Savage Axe, which is up and down swing, will also launch your team mate to the air, lol
@@herusetiawan5399 damn right
I have been playing monster hunter for years but I didn't know you could do this!
Oh damn, now you know!

Also my favorite one as of now has to be the Dante sword, just because I'm a huge DMC fan lol
Nice! I have a lot more fun with Savage Axe honestly

very nice! CB is very versatile yeah

Hammer/Pizza cutter/Swaxe explosion enjoyer here. All of these things just make hunts feel incredible.
yesss
Hi Dan ive been watching you for a Little bit now and i love your content already.
That's awesome mate, appreciate you!
Can savge axe mode be used with every axe? Or just certain ones?
All charge blades!
I mainly SAED but i think i like both im trying to find a way to use both effectively. Could you do a video about damage difference between the two?
You can watch the full charge blade overview, or alternatively take it to the training area and test it
Never knew how to this and ive been playing only charge blade lol i saw that lil icon pop up and noticed someones axe spinning on a yt vid and my hunt began lol
BOOM let's go!
it doesnt work for me... im pressing LT during the ultra elemental attack but nothing different happens
you need Iceborne
I recently started using this weapon and it’s disgusting how much damage you do
For sure! Try out SnS as well, Perfect Rush will blow your mind
@@LightItUpDan funnily enough it already has I stopped sleeping on sns recently and that damage should be illegal
How can I have that massive wagon for practice in training?
speak to the cat in the training area and select change objects
Here I was thinking that it was a specific upgrade/CB. Just booted the game and hit left trigger, ow lord. the damage I could have done in my previous 12 hour game play 😩😩
nope! introduced to the weapon with IB
I want to try the axe but I just don't know how to dodge in this game so it's too risky. I feel safe behind my shield and just throw S/AED here and there. For the rest of the time, SnS mode.
Have you watched my Charge Blade guide? It might help you learn the mobility moves and guard points

I dunno mate, SAED with double charged phials hits pretty hard!
can we use savage axe mod on standar version mhw? (without buying the iceborne)
no, and if you want to play World, you really should get Iceborne. base game is effectively a demo
@LightItUpDan okayy. Thanks for the information
I can’t seem to activate savage axe is it iceborne exclusive or something?
yes
@@LightItUpDan holy shit really?????? Thank you
honestly Iceborne is essential, get it asap
Subscribe already!! What are you doing?! Wilds is coming out and you're gonna miss out if you don't subscribe. Get on it, doggone it!

Safi'jiva one is probably going to be a great option if not the best
How do I unlock savage axe mode for charge blade? A special quest?
you just need to have iceborne
@@Bellegarde-N7 really ??? its pay to win
Yes, it is a DLC thing rather than a free update and as such is only accessible with the DLC, sorry
I need to make me a CB set 😅
Yessss do it
0:14 ?
Hmm?
@@LightItUpDan oh just the edit you made in the video for the tenderize looked clean
Caveman style CB
Unga bunga CB
