So due to some poor status mv scaling issues the iron and barroth switchaxes apply far more status. Unsure if it's a bug but goldian swaxe can't even poison equal star monsters that are neutral before the end of the fight
I’ve been waiting for this video!! Okay so my Rajang Hybrid SwAxe build is somehow better than my Zinogre Crit element SwAxe build. I see the math on paper but in gameplay it’s not the same… Rajang SwAxe 6.5 build: Thunder 4 Crit Eye 2 Concentration 1 Crit Element 1 Crit Ferocity 1 Regular hits = 500-1000 dmg with “black flash” crits of 1100 dmg Zinogre SwAxe 6.5 Build: Crit Eye 4 Latent Power 2 Crit Element 2 Regular hits = 300-700 with element crits doing 6 more dmg than a regular hit 😕 My Rajang SwAxe was landing those “black flash” crits often enough to look powerful but just having the Thunder 4 helped boost the damage higher than the Zino SwAxe. The elemental crits for the Zino SwAxe weren’t nearly as huge either. Both SwAxe are 6.5. Am I missing something?
@Cloudfencer for the crit elem build, add one more point in crit elem and add crit boost or morph boost depending on your playstyle. For the rajang build, i would remove crit eye to add more chance for crit ferocity to proc
@@PauwerPlaysI’ll give that a try 👍🏽 Also for the crit element build, is it actually better to just have elemental attack for lower grade weapons? Is the crit element build actually more for the higher grade weapons? Maybe I’m expecting too much for my lower element stats
You cannot have any positive crit abilites if you want to use Crit Ferocity for Rajang since they would have literally no effect, you're better off slotting in something like Burst since its Power Phials scale off attack, also at that grade getting Thunder 5 is more important than anything else, that should be the priority
I'm trying out this paralysis build... Fun to team play. Volvidon SA Volvidon Helm Coral Pukei Mail Tzizi Arms Tzizi Coil Somnacanth Greaves Staus sneak Atk 5 Power Prolonger 3 Evade Ext 2 (for free) Morf Boost 1 (why not??) What you can say, professor?
So I built a trex sa and at base build it completely obliterated a grade up monster and that was without a real set. So now I have my trex sa at g8lv4 and proper set with critical ferocity lv4 partbreaker lv3 burst lv3 focus lv2 artful dodger lv1 lock on lv1 and few extra irrelevant lv1 skills but it's doing really good and biggest benefit being you can hunt anything with it so easy way to enjoy the sa weapon anytime. I've invested heavily in my elemental sets including full drifting so it gets boring with how powerful they are and thought it'd be fun build to just enjoy and get my gold weapon badge for sa. I'm hr288 and main bow, ls, and cb (depending on which of each is best weapon available on current meta monsters).
I forgot to mention I haven't bothered with lock on since a year ago now because limits build potential and I actually really enjoy using the gyro mode it's too much fun to go back to lock on.
Very disappointed that for a lot of these they went with the world designs. OG rathalos & zinogre SA designs were miles better than these generic iron SAs. It's my favourite weapon in the series with my favourite being barioth's, which they didn't keep as element phial
Man is out here doing the Lords work on mhn.
Happy New Year!
@@gravemethod happy new year man!

Oh that's interesting. Ive only tried the gold rath switch axe on monsters weak to poison
For Ice, there's also the Lagombi and Barioth SA's. was hoping to hear about the Lagombi Lock On/Power Element phial critique
@K1SPL198 the lagombi SA has power element phials but very low elemental attack power. Not worth imo. Lock on would have been a game changer
I appreciate this man. Going to make some switch axes here in the new year and looking forward to it
@@MonsterHunterReese333 have fun bro!
I’ve been waiting for this video!! Okay so my Rajang Hybrid SwAxe build is somehow better than my Zinogre Crit element SwAxe build. I see the math on paper but in gameplay it’s not the same…
Rajang SwAxe 6.5 build:
Thunder 4
Crit Eye 2
Concentration 1
Crit Element 1
Crit Ferocity 1
Regular hits = 500-1000 dmg with “black flash” crits of 1100 dmg
Zinogre SwAxe 6.5 Build:
Crit Eye 4
Latent Power 2
Crit Element 2
Regular hits = 300-700 with element crits doing 6 more dmg than a regular hit 😕

Well looking to build a switch axe. Cheers man.
I'm trying out this paralysis build... Fun to team play.
Volvidon SA
Volvidon Helm
Coral Pukei Mail
Tzizi Arms
Tzizi Coil
Somnacanth Greaves
Staus sneak Atk 5
Power Prolonger 3
Evade Ext 2 (for free)
Morf Boost 1 (why not??)
What you can say, professor?
I havent tried with status sneak. I used para attack cos i dont wanna keep repositioning to the back haha! How's your exp with status sneak?
@PauwerPlays lot's of procs. Evade extender helps a lot...
Thanks, Paralysis SA looks fun and cheap might try it. As silver Rathalos i am not sure, since i am not have its armor yet for critical element skill
@@BDuckification its gonna be worth it to build it up slowly
SA has a good wake up option with its elemental discharge. you just have to use motion controls to burn the phial ticks
@Jinra321 ohh didnt think of that haha

Which are the pieces for Paralysis?
How about the bone one?
no love for barroth?
Not a fan of not being able to build up paralysis with axe mode :(
Tkz again!!!!
Happy to share my thoughts

@liamking8983 true. I was very disappointed with world designs as well. Rise brought back the unique and creative designs for each weapon.
