-A with SnS is attacks with shield
-In the recent games, apparently there IS a true lock-on function, you have to change it in the options (I had no idea they added this, I barely played World compared to the other games)
How about positioning
@@slimebacker44 Comes with experience 🤙
1:03 there is true lock on and they call it focus mode. You can change it in the camera settings from target to focus. Though I'm more a fan of the target mode
You said A attacks are also sword attacks on sword and shield, unless I misheard it. A attacks are shield attacks, correct?
A correction for you're corrections, there is no true lock on function in Bah Sing Seh and the thing you are thinking of is Capcom's motion sickness awfulness generator from the stomach of Val Hazak
Switch-Axe - it's an axe, and a sword
Me: Okay.
Charge-Blade - It's a sword, and an axe
Me: waitwaitwait, hold the phone
Switch axe an axe that becomes a sword. Charge blade a sword and shield that combine to become an axe. Very different
My sister has been trying both switch axe and charge blade and drives me insane when she asks me for help with "Switch Blade" since like... which one are you talking about? Lol
@@yoso378 iirc the japanese name for switch axe does translate to switch blade but idk if she’s playing on japanese text xD
@@nimbusws5946
Switch Axe (EN) = Slash Axe (JP)
Charge Blade (EN) = Charge Axe (JP)
@@doublex85 THAT'S SO MUCH WORSE
And for anyone concerned, Gunlance doesn't require you to carry ammo with you, you have infinite reloads.
Soooooo you just have all this ammo for no reason as a gunlance main???

I've heard X and A so much in this video they don't feel like words/letters anymore.
it's one word, "exanay"
It’s “axe” and “ehyyyy” XD
You're right, they're not words/letters. They're alphabets...
@@rokudodamaza Pretty sure they're letters at least that's what the US calls them. Not sure if it's different in other English speaking countries. 🤷
@@TheRemixGrave Oh wait, shit You're right! Fuck! Dammit
Literally every other weapon: Just utilize this one mechanic and strung together these 3 input combos
Charge blade: so you know those fighting game combo trials?
too bad if u want to charge it fast its just one combo,reload,make you shield better,do the same combo again,reload,make the sword better and then spam the strong elemental attack. Used to be my fav weapon, but it's just boring.
CB for me has always just been button mash, charge, swing axe, repeat. xD
@@BrandonIkarosPesoli Dude, If you wanna talk about that being boring, Everything else is just straight up braindead button mashing compared to the Charge Blade.
@@RhazOfRheos never said the opposite. monster hunter combo system isn't the best. and it's penalised by the weapons balance. Unsed weapon will remain shit and popular weapon will be OP as fuck cuz..Popularity and noobs.
@@BrandonIkarosPesoli You say that, but Gunlance is one of the less popular weapons and it's still great
Same for Charge Blade, if you use it correctly.
Charge blade is easier then it sounds, hit with sword until phials are red, charge, switch to axe form, use charges and switch to sword and repeat until monster dies
Charge blade supremacy
shouldn't you actually store the charges so that your weapons are red and you have full phials before doing your finisher? I haven't played Charge Blade since 4U so I'm not sure.
@@Stagbot_Racing its been 3 months but the most important one is to charge your shield as that gives you access to the ground explosion when you slam your axe in the ground.
I may be a former dual blades main trying out charge blade, but a good tip is to not use your axe mode TOO much if the monster isn't tired or staggered, especially against fast ones like Mizutsune.
@@SunbrokenHunter If you're using the Spinning Axe playstyle, you can get punished for being slow at times, but man it's powerful.
Well, im gonna say it like this, if you ever come across someone that's constantly flying through the air like a complete lunatic, with his pet butterfly behind him, there's a pretty good chance that's me
Helicopter gang rise up!
Combo-ing the air dashing attack in a loop becomes its own game after a while, and it's quite a fun one.
New IG user here! So much jumping!
@@Raycroissant I regret that I have but one stamina bar to approve of this message.
First monster Hunter game and I wanted all the Ariel so IG was obviously for me XD
(Ex)Hammer main here! The main differences between blue guard and yellow guard is that the blue is generally better for hit and run due to it having faster attacks and yellow is better for when the monster is KO'd, or paralyzed due to it having a long combo at full charge while moving forward. You can also swap from blue to yellow and get a full yellow charge, so I recommend using it for silkbind attacks.
Oooh thanks for the tips!!
Now that makes sense
This is single handedly the most useful video for beginners. No waffle, every piece of information is on point, and movesets are informed in a logical and coherent manner.
Also, thanks for treating us like intelligent people and not dumbing it down.
Thanks mate.
This tends to happen when a real gamer makes a video instead of gaming journalists who don't even know what they are doing themselves
A quick note to anyone interested in the light bowgun. The mine is NOT a trip mine. It goes off when attacked. This can be triggered by both monster attacks AND hunter attacks, meaning you should be shooting the mine anytime the monster is standing on it. You can also lodge the mine into a monsters body using a certain wire if skill, meaning any attack on the monster is likely to trigger the mine until it wears off.
...or if you see your Light Bowgun buddy jumping over the monster for some reason, it prolly means that you can do more damage on a certain spot.
I should know, because I used to main Light Bowgun and jumped over the monster about 50 times a hunt. Now I'm a Heavy Bowgunner because I got sick of y'all not seeing me boost your damage.
I know you only had a minute to go over these but uh quick reload on the gunlance is sorta important
Gunlance also had very strange combos given. Normally you like to poke-shell-poke-shell or just focus on fullbursts if normal shells.
there is no reload. you only have the shots in it, then you gotta use it like a lance
@@zacharyswygart337 people actually do that though. Slaplance.
@@picleus I miss Long Shelling from MHW, that was my go to playstyle.
Laugh in Blast dashers
How to use every weapon:
Step 1 - Pick hammer
Step 2 - That's it
EDIT: I'd like to make an addition of a third step: Uppercut all head hogging longsword mains into the sun. Specifically the head hoggers, tail cutters are to be respected.
Indeed
@@Pungus5657 Indeed
True step 2 - BONK!
that's a funny way of saying hunting horn
@@mushi7434 Hunting horn is also valid.
Legends says that the Lancer is still "poke poke poking" and "hop hop hopping" ,🤣😀 good stuff man
Legends say that the Insect glaive mains are still playing floor is lava
That's an absurd, sometimes... uhh... oh yeah sometimes I use the *shield bash*
@@macaroninaegi5169 i spam shield bash
why did he suddenly sound like a chad when he's talking about the hunting horn.
The horn buffed him into Chad status.
Because to understand a chad, you must first become one.
Because we all live a hunting horn on the squad, because *SOMEONE* has to keep the worlds most reckless greatsword mains alive.
Here’s a protip from a Glaive main: get in the habit of using the ZR+A wirebug technique to jump in. It’s a lower trajectory than the ZR+X jump, and has to be done with the control stick held in the opposite direction you want to go, but it automatically recalls your Kinsect, and instantly refills its stamina.
Generally speaking Charge Mode: Strength (blue) has slightly longer charge times, forces you to move a bit more, and a bit more power but also more commitment/endlag and generally speaking fewer combo opportunities. Performing a charge switch from Strength will automatically put you into LV3 Standard, which will be amazing for some silkbinds or quick LV3 charges.
The standard charge mode, on the other hand, has generally shorter charge times, a bit less damage and movement, but more combo opportunity - the spin attack ending with a golf swing, for example, if you get off the strongest swing, you can tap A to do a bonk that you can follow up into the Strength Charge LV3 without having to switch.
blue charge moving lvl 3 has been changed into one of the most useful attacks in terms of frame data and range, so if anything, yellow charge is more committal because it has the useless spin instead.
@@user-rn7wf7ry4s the spin is pretty solid with elemental damage
@@gerwin1133 and then you come back to reality and realize that you're playing hammer.
@@user-rn7wf7ry4s Spin is magnitudes better in this game; a lot easier to aim with it (which was always what threw people off with the move to begin with), but you can even combo straight into the A-attack's Big Bang finisher after hitting the spin's golf swing now. It's one of my favorite combos now, especially since if you go from blue to yellow mode, it'll instantly give you a level 3 charge too, easily setting you up for the spin
@@TheMoonman4 actually, it seems any finisher from the spin combos into big bang. bigger finishers take you into later parts of big bang. seems useful when wirebugs are on CD. however triple pound, charge, cancel to yellow, impact crater seems like a better option that takes about as much time.
"Don't have time to talk about different types of bows"
*flashbacks to charge blade*
"X and A together is your fadeslash, makes you go whoohooo" xD
Longsword tip: if the dead or dying monster is still attackable, you can use it to keep your gauge filled if needed.
PSA: there is a camera setting that lets you lock onto the monsters! Change from target cam to focus cam, when you press R joystick your camera will follow the monster :) spread the word!
Not very useful for mh tbh
WHAT
@@ivanlagayacrus1891 yeah it's jarring. Never liked the default lock on in world so I'll be leaving it.
This.
Although as a lance main, I've learned not to rely on the focus cam as it messes up with the spiral thrust skill.
@@chetawanung-adjmagool9967 problem with that lock on is that it makes you unable to pan to your surroundings (like another monster, endemics, or the direction you're trying to run if you're retreating) or just being able to easily check your peripheral
With the way I play Monster Hunter, the floor is always lava. I main dual blades and insect glaive, I’m bouncing all over the place in games constantly and it’s so satisfying.
*_For those looking at the Charge Blade, charging your sword also gives it the buff Mind's Eye, which disallows your sword from being repelled during the time it is charged. Same applies to Phial Discharge moves (A button while in axe mode). If you have red shield and are about to unleash Phial Discharge 3, pressing back and X at the shield air pressure puff will ensure you only release the regular version and not the Super Amped version._*
*_Also also, doing any attack in SnS mode can be followed up with shield bash, which is X+A after any attack. Doing X+A again after shield bash will lead you into (Super, if red shield) Amped Discharge. You can do the whole move with this, or press your guard button to charge your shield._*
_trust me, this weapon comes with a pretty thicc user manual lmao_
Been using the CB ever since I started in my first MH game, I have literally never used anything else and I still didn’t realise I could do a sawblade mode until World, I was not a smart child.
@@seththornton9968
*_Don't beat yourself up too much. Sawblade mode actually didn't come out until Iceborne, which was the DLC update to World. So you're good._*
@@lyt664 Sawblade as in, the XX hunting art?
@@AoIndigo
*_Nope, as in, you turn your axe mode into SURGERY MODE_*
@@lyt664 I'm confused here, aren't you talking about the spinning blade move in axe?
My advise to all the new people out there when try out new weapon: focus on 1 thing at a time. Go to hunter’s notes and all the move set are there, but dont do all of them. Learn 1 combo and go hunt until you become good at it, then learn a new combo/move of the weapon and repeat the process.
Worst advice ever
@@andreagtfj1090 i think it depends on the weapon. let's say you want to learn to use iai slash counter, if you do other stuff it's harder to learn, whereas learning it with focus let's you use it as second nature in the future
@@andreagtfj1090 you know what they say better learn 1 combo 10.000 time than 10.000 combo 1 time
@@andreagtfj1090 no it's not lmao. that's exactly how you pick up a weapon. I've been playing since 3u and that was the only way I got my friend to understand tons of weapons.

"There's no true lock-on" - i.e. while you CAN make the camera lock-on to a monster (Focus Camera option), your _hunter_ will not face the monster automatically; you have to do that yourself.
True hunter dont use lock on.. fight me..
@@poliwharaslah965 Rather, the true hunter doesn't _need_ a lock-on. It's absolutely convenient when fighting a single monster, but it can be troublesome against a group since focusing on one target can blind you to the others.
@@poliwharaslah965 I mean, the game from the get-go does not have a lock-on function so you can't even compare the regular gameplay with an nonexistent _lock on one_
And no, Focus Camera is not a lock-on, A lock-on is a system that automatically makes the character turn to the direction of the target, not the camera's.
I was a gunner in world, but I'm gonna try some melee this time around. Wish me luck!
Good luck hunter !
Blademaster is going to be a lot more popular this time around because most people don’t have pro controllers for switch. We’ll see popularity when it gets a pc port. Good luck!
I do infact have a pro controller
Started world as a bow main. Ended world as a Lance main.
@@BillyMNeitz Lance gang. Personally CB main but Lance is pretty spicy. It's like a dance holding a brick wall
didnt notice till the end of the vid that his name is 'Finna Nut' LMFAO
Bruh, i’m just getting into Monster Hunter and I’m legitimately pissed off that almost none of this info is in the god damn “Hunter notes”
🙏
monster hunter ain't the hold-your-hand kinda game but more of a explore and find out kinda game! have fun, new MH player!
me, a 100% newbie to monster hunter, watching all of astro's mh videos the night before the game releases to learn how to play: hehe big sword :)))
@Ricardo Mendez _Rise_ came out a little over a month ago. And Monster Hunter's been a thing for 16 years, don't mean new people can't start playing it.
so how do you enjoy hehe big sword
New to monster hunter here! Just started playing rise and I’m starting out on charge blade and I appreciate your tips! Short and to the point already helped me grasp the basic idea a lot better. Thank you! Great video
Everybody gangsta until Captain starts playing Zinogre's theme at the outro
That theme is an actual banger
Not to mention that Zinogre is my favorite monster
For SnS users:
Forward+a is shield bash. Up to 3 hits that can stun. You can use it after any X combo.
You can press x+a during or after any combo to do a round slash. It does good damage if done at the end of a combo and can aim it at your side to help you reposition yourself mid combo.
Also, down+a while guarding or during a combo does a backstep into your charge attack, in which you can let it go after fully charge for a charge slash, which will send you into the air, X for air attack, A for Shield dunk.
If you press X during the charge attack, you’ll do a series of attacks, in which you need to time your X presses for max damage. After a shield uppercut, A for round slash, X for sword thrust that’ll send you to the air if connected. You can do the same as in the charge slash, but only here you can press x+a for a downwards multi hit thrust.
I'm new to the franchise. This video was both overwhelming and super helpful lol. I hope you make more weapon/game videos for the new players like me. Thanks!!!
"Gunlance, poke and explode"
Ah, I see why I main gunlances now, it's exactly me in real life!
That sounds like a dangerous quirk lol
I've been maining dual blades since mh3u and only started considering learning new weapons in world, but never got around to it. this is the kind of guide I needed to help me figure out a couple I should give a try. perfect video and I love the goofy and matter of fact attitude you use. quick and entertaining, thanks!
I've watched a few videos on the Charge Blade, this is the first one that actually made me understand how to charge the shield and sword. Thanks!
As someone who plays hammer a lot.
You stay in Blue Hammer almost all the time. The attacks are generally better, but the main draw is if you need to do a quick impact crater (ZL+A silkbind move) you can switch back to Gold hammer, as switching from Blue > Gold will give you an instant level 3 charge, you swap back immediately after preforming the attsck.
Dang you're going hard on the videos recently! Hyped for rise!
Don't expect this from me ever again hahaha
How to use the Charge Blade:
Step 1: spend a few years and get a PhD in it.
Now you know how to us the Charge Blade, your welcome.
This is the best beginner weapon breakdown i've seen so far. Appreciate it. Thank you
one of the best MH Video i've seen yet! Awesome stuff man!
EXTRA LANCE TIP
after your three poke combo, you can also restart by pressing ZR + Y while walking forwards, its omnidirectional, it will do a shield bash for blunt damage and you can immediately restart your three poke
Press ZR to reload your axe. Reload with what? Sword ammo of course.
Lmao
well duh, hows the sword gonna swoosh otherwise
Thanks, a minute and a half in you've explained more clearly than all other videos I've watched X+A simultaneously that was a big question for me and you clarified it. 👍
Short and simple, straight to the point. Thanks, this is very helpful!
I absolutely love this and introduce this video to any friend picking up Monster Hunter Rise for the first time.
Do you think you could do one that covers Silkbind Attacks for each weapon as well, plus covering Sunbreak's new additions possibly? If you're able to break this down into Big Red Crayon, I think you'd do well for those as well.
Wow, this is incredibly helpful, thank you so much for making this!
Always happy to support new (?), smaller TH-camrs in the Monster Hunter Community! Great content, I hope you keep it up.
With the switch axe when your tapping A on axe mode you can also press ZR to do a spin attack, press it one more time to combo it into sword mode

This. This is what I needed when I started Monster Hunter as a kid and now it helps me learn new weapons in Rise. Keep up the good work
This guide helped charge blade make so much more sense! Thank you!
The sword and shield also got pretty good upgrades.
In worlds, the infinite light and heavy slash combos required you to move in the opposite direction to restart the combo. In Rise, after a X X A A combo you can press XA to do a round slash to restart the combo, allowing you to continue attacking in the same direction.
The perfect rush in worlds required you to roll sideways to restart the combo. In Rise, simply tap A before the final stab to do a round slash, and you can immediately pull back the left stick and hold A to perform another charged slash into perfect rush.
Quick tip for aspiring long sword players, you can charge spirit gauge and level it up with zr combo on dead monsters, small or large, also you have a shorter zr combo if you do a fade slash first.
Criminally underviewed video. Very helpful. Thank you! =)
Little Info to add about Kinsects in the Full game: You can't upgrade specific stats individaully / can't upgrade your kinsect at all, BUT you can buy better Kinsects for money that have better stats depending on type. Those kinsects also get upgraded dependant on your Glaive
Context for people new to the series: In every previous game you had to upgrade your Kinsects, complete with their own upgrade tree. Rise replaced it with a simpler system where you just directly buy the Kinsects with no need for upgrading.
I kinda wish you *could* upgrade them instead of just buying different ones. I'd prefer to keep the healing buff of the two starter Kinsects but with the higher base stats of the others.
@@zazelby They actually all have similar stats
Switch axe has a neat thing you can do, you can morph out of wildswing with a circular sweeping attack instead of the slam. A,..., ZR, ZR/X. The second ZR will put you into sword mode, but if you press X instead, you'll go back into axe attacks. You can press A just the once, or multiple times, as long as it starts the wild swing and not the fade slash. It's pretty useful for if you started to wildswing, but then the monster moves a bit, or if you don't have time to pull off the full slam combo. It's better than the pseudo-slam you do if you haven't swung enough in my opinion. Just don't do it near somebody else. It covers a pretty large area, and you move forward while spinning. You shouldn't wildswing right next to somebody normally anyway, but be extra careful with this.
This video helped me figure out how to use the switch axe a lot more effectively now it’s my favorite type of weapon to use! So thank you for the tips
Darn my dude! Straight to the point manly content!! Thank you!!
You are a actual hero for making this video
No. He actually missed the most crucial information of each weapon. Please don’t use this guide. This is the information you would know for just mashing buttons on the weapon.
@@Aspratameme You do realise that he explicitly says this is not the best way to play, and just the basics of each weapon?
@@akesan2374there is simple and there is negligence. Simple doesn’t mean just not covering crucial parts of the weapon lol. Like perfect rush on SnS. If I say I can do something in 60 seconds but I do a really shitty job does it matter that I did it in 60 seconds
@@Aspratameme Again, he clearly states that this isn't how you should play the weapons, but just the BASICS, and that there is a lot of things he doesn't cover. This is a guide directed towards begginers to the series, not veterans, of course he's gonna not talk about the more advanced things
Edit: And correct me if i'm wrong, but perfect rush isn't something that you can do with the earlier SnS
@@akesan2374 yes you can lmfao obviously you watch his guides 🤣
This video covers combos that are literally the X>X>X combos. Those are so far from the “basics” of the weapons lol. Those are more game mechanics than “combos.”
Like maybe you could use someone telling you the basics of SNS and how perfect rush works. Those are the basic mechanics of SNS that obviously you don’t pic up from a terrible video like this.
you have no Idea how much this Video helps Micro-summarize the weapons. you did it better than I could've ever did to my frinds and dad who will be trying the game out.
I stopped playing after 4 ultimate, skipped Cross and generations ultimate and World, so Im hyped more than ever to get back into it; and this time, im not leaving any weapons in the box to collect dust - I wanna learn them ALL, and maybe make youtube videos idk
I love how the dog follows your movements. And yes I noticed there are weapon instructions as well.
Thank you!!!! I really wanted to expand my weapon range in Rise but most weapon videos are like 5 hours per weapon lol. Thank you for the concise info
"charge blade not complicated at all, i did not leave any move untold at all" 10:50 -captain astronaut
hunter in the video : "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH 'SLAM DOWN' "
"Totally not even more stuff I'm leaving out" As he shows as amped element discharge which wast mentioned at all. But don't worry we totally believed that statement.
Great video. Especially for a newcomer to the series!
I've been waiting for this video
Yea aight, astro has convinced me to get the game now. More complex than I thought lmao all I did was just press X and A for shit
Watching footage of Monster Hunter without context, it looks like a generic action RPG. The game is incredibly in-depth and there's A LOT more going on than what the visuals will tell you. Most AAA games will make sure the visuals and interface is telling you the entire story, so that the game is easier to pick-up and play. Monster Hunter has evolved over the years to be more accesible (like the on-screen weapon actions in Worlds) and more expletive (like the damage numbers and monster status icons [top right]), but there's still a lot of nuance that doesn't translate well to footage, and you only get to experience playing it.
Bow is the best melee weapon in the game. One of the switch abilities makes it so you can do an attack dodge during a combo. But dodging counts as a combo. The dash attack applies the coatings doing often 2-4 times the damage of shooting. So you can infinitely dash attack WITH whatever element coating you got. The coatings never deplete if you only melee. PLUS you never have to worry about losing sharpness. And you can still shoot winged monsters out of the sky. Bow is best weapon this game prove me wrong.
The only way to truly play bow is 2 ft from the monster at all times.
Bow - best melee weapon.
This already feels wrong
Great video man! Thanks, made picking my weapon so much easier
There were some things I learned in this video that were not covered in other videos. Thank you very much, sir and have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Edit: Subscribed because you are hilarious and dual blades are awesome indeed!
im suprised that you did not skip over gunlance, all 3 of us gunlance mains thank you
why does no one play it?
@@josephspearman-oxx9404 Not sure about rise or world (mostly because I haven't played with anyone other than my friend) But it and horn have been the weakest weapons throughout the series. Gunlance does less damage in exchange for the shelling, which sounds good until you remember shelling does set damage, so its not that effective late game.
Also it has the 2nd slowest movement speed a while unsheathed, next to greatsword which unlike gunlance, has more benefits when constantly sheathing.
TL:DR You move slow and do low damage,
Just remembered, in Rise speed can be patched with a skill you can unlock called Blast Dash.
This is mostly based on OLD GEN information btw, as in before Monster Hunter World, I don't know how they've changed shelling for the new games.
@@orange7153 Low damage what? On World I could dish put heavy damage in a span of a few seconds, what was even better was when you embed the monster with huge wyvern stake damn near doubling your shelling damage on that spot. A Wyvern Fire blast there would easily do around 600 damage with max artillery if I remember correctly.
@@TreyDobe i was referring to games before World, didn’t know about Wyrmstake increasing shelling damage.
You forgot the most important thing on the greatsword, the mighty tackle!
This was funny! And informative. Thank you
bro you are a real one for this vid, def subscribing
For people want to try charge blade: everything changes once you get the switch skill, and then it basically becomes "try to stay alive while wielding axe all the time" (instead of charging the sword you can charge the axe making every swing have multiple hits when you hold the buttons and you don't need the powered up shield to do it but it goes away whenever you go out of axe mode also the axe can charge phials by itself and over a 1 minute period in the training area damage output was about 20-25% higher using the spinny axe instead of the glowy sword and yes this weapon is really not that hard)
I miss having access to both sides at the same time from World though. Not a huge fan of switch skills. Feels like they tried to nerf many or all weapons at the same time.
@@rositchi5889 To be honest, I barely touched MH since writing this comment. I recently came back to it and it does definitely feel nerfed. It's still my weapon of choice, because I prefer complex controls (also goes for other games). But damn it's so easy to achieve the same damage output using a more basic weapon like long sword. Even switch axe seems like it's gotten more love than CB. Maybe that's also because while useful, CB's silkbind attacks are kinda lame... Maybe I need to unlock axe hopper tho
@@yasgamer Can confirm, Axe Hopper lets you do some goofy shit if you use it right
@@akesan2374 I have done since my last comment and the knockdowns come straight out of WWE
@@yasgamer Yeah, i haven't used CB much cause rn i'm going through GU but what i used of Axe Hopper and what i read about it from people that used it more was insane
Another reason to do the sword charge-up in Charge Blade: It makes it so you won't bounce anymore.
You'd only want that with a male character
"Maximum Potency, which makes you better.." , I never taught that I'll like this type of video! So fun to watch! :D
This is such a straight forward and simple video. Giving this to my friend they’re new to MH.
man, the bedbugs attack is really making me want to play the gunlance
Lol
And some gunlances can KO monsters with the bed bugs. Join the BOOM crew!
The only thing though is I miss embedding the monsters with a comically large stake and then it becomes a mini game of how many times can I explode on that spot or put bedbugs in it. If you do enough explosion damage, the thing gives off it's own explosion causing a knock down. GL is still pretty good, you should try it!
Thank you sent this to my girlfriend because picking a weapon made her panic 😂
great video ! everything is clear and simple
This is a great video to send to new players. It had to be made. Great job. Will share.
Legend says the insect Glaive user still hasn’t touched the ground to this day
The floor is lava: expert mode
It's cold up here 😬
@@technic1285 I like to think of it as brisk
my gs playstyle over the past 2 days has gone from
slow, big damage, easy to get hit
to
fast af and occasionally launching myself at a monster with a comically large sword
I just want to compliment you on this.. well done! Im having trouble on some of the weapons, especially the ones with charges. Im gonna watch this again to fully understand them. Im a long sword user, but i want to change weapons to either the axe or charged blade. I hope you could make another explaining the weapon's wite bug attacks.
Amazing video, just pure knowledge. Thank you
So gun Lance has 3 moves: shield, poke and boom
Simply explosive
Exactly. Beautiful simplicity.
Don't forget big BOOM
@@TreyDobe and the BOOM HARPOON
The A button attack for dual blades is a distance closer move, good for when the enemy keeps backing away. In demon mode, you go twice as far (attacking the entire time). Something to keep in mind; the X+A combo ONLY works in demon mode and arc demon mode (though it lasts longer in demon mode). DO NOT SPAM THIS MOVE! It locks you in place for an extended amount of time, leaving you open for attacks.
This was both informative and hilarious.
Damn, this is really helpful. Thanks
A tip for anyone using Switch Axe: If the monster isn’t knocked down or tired and moving around, try to get into the Amped state using Wild Swing when using your Elemental Discharge. This way, you’ll attach yourself to the monster and won’t risk missing the attack. If a monster is down, however, just go for a normal Elemental Discharge, as the extra time spent trying to get into the Amped state might give the monster enough time to get up and attack or run away.
Wow you basically missed everything SnS got that makes it cool now.
IM trying to do the arena quests atm and this is really helpful. thanks so much
When the video comes at perfect timing, thanks as always
Charge blade when he said it isn't that hard I died 🤣
it's easier here in rise than it ever has been
