Quick additional note: The counter rising slash consumes switch gauge but also refills some on a successful counter, as shown in the video! Also did you catch my Rise slip up at the beginning? 😂
I'd like to make sure there is both a ps controller and xbox controller mainly because in world i tried using your guides but i couldn't for the life of me correctly translate ps4 to xbox controls
I would love to see a Lance video. I love the new additions and attacks they added making it even more offensive now. Especially the fact that countering is built INTO the basic blocking now. That's so good.
Super high quality, easy to understand, I especially love the button pressing animations which ties everything together nicely. Got me super excited for a proper swaxe guide when Wilds releases!
It should be noted that any source of Exhaust damage alternatively deals Stun damage depending on where you hit the monster. I refer to this as Impact damage, as to better explain this. Impact damage done to the head (or equivalent) applies Stun. Impact damage done anywhere else applies Exhaust. This is to better represent the relationship between the two status ailments because they share the same sources of which they’re applied. Just in case anyone was confused. Also it’s to be noted that Impact damage is NOT Blunt damage. All Blunt attacks deal Impact damage, but not all Impact attacks deal Blunt damage. Yes, you can KO monsters with Exhaust coatings on Bows and Exhaust Ammo with Bowguns.
The update to the switch axe brought a few things to it that it was sorely lacking in World: defensive options (offset and counter) and a great way to charge the "battery" for the sword. Huge wins. I will definitely main this, provided it doesn't somehow get nerfed.
One thing im wondering for the INSECT GLAIVE(please do that one next) is if they brought back the Kinsect Nurture thing. Rises biggest problem is that is missing along with the projectile marking. I always opened up with that in every fight back in world bc its good to have backup. But. I miss it. Insect glaive aint the same without it.
Really thankful for the timing of this for PC release, this is a huge time save for having to figure out some of this on our own so we have more time for character creation optimization
I thought I was doing pretty well and managed to take down Rey Dau fairly early... and now thanks to your guide I realized I wasn't even utilizing a tooon of awesome moves with my favorite weapon haha
Man, these guids are god-sent. I am new to Monster Hunter and don't know anything. I just started playing the beta yesterday. I used SH in the beginning, but it felt too ordinary. Tried the Longsword, and it seemed as if I am Vergil from DMC. I want to main CB or SwitchAxe. However, I think I am not using them right. These videos and a bit of practice would make me really get in the zone.
Hey Arekkz, I havent read the comments so I apologize if someone asked this already. After ZSD can you cancel when latched on to avoid the long animation? You lose the last explosion but I'm sure you can cancel it in World which then lets me combo again. Keep up the great work!
No wirebugs make menworried all my cool counters are gone but seeing the panic counter and counter rising slash being included in the new moveset is welcoming
general question, as a pc user i dont have access to the open beta just yet, but i was wondering, when you hit a wound, does it automatically trigger the special wound attack or do you need to press a button before hitting the spot?
When you're in focus mode there is a button that will do the attack. I don't know what it will be for pc, but on console you'd use the right bumper to hit the wound and it triggers the attack.
Hope The Lance got new moves as it doesn't feel like it did, compared to the other weapons. It's a bit mixed as it feels like old ways of playing the Lance are much more clunky or nerfed now then they used to be While we have some old moves I would have liked them to have changed. Shield Attack from guard cough cough. Pretty much High Thrust, and Guard Dash have a slower recovery time Guard after mid or high thrust is slower compared to world Leaping Thrust feels stickier and it only does two ticks of damage instead of three You feel slower when attacking out of Power Guard Viscory Thrust needs more Reach Shield Attack needs to either gain more ok damage and be able to leap like the leaping Thrust or change it to Shield Charge. Dash attack need an option to Shield Bash like how shield charge has a option to shield bash Lastly, why does LS get Hyper Armor? Otherwise I'm having a fun good game, love how they made the world, hope to see more, just feel like they missed on the Lance a bit.
I can’t get it to latch on when I do my element discharge for some reason being amped doesn’t seem to work either so idk what I’m doing wrong I’ve played swaxe for the past few games
They turned the sword mode into Nero's Red Queen sword from DMC lol especially with the tomboy devil breaker Now I hope they have a collaboration with DMC and add Red Queen as an swaxe. They already turned Alastor into a charge blade, so why not this?
i love me some switch axe, but i've fallen in love with great sword and my second has to be a bonker (horn or hammer) so idk how much i'm gonna use it in the full game. i'm sure i'll work to build a nice one after i'm satisified with my GS/Horn/Hammer... :p
Man what can I say, I’m just loving the new rise beta 🤣 sooo much monster Hunter on my brain this week, I’ll try and dial it in for the next ones, appreciate you buddy! 🙏

so glad you're doing more of these for wilds! the world weapon videos were a huge help for me
Super high quality, easy to understand, I especially love the button pressing animations which ties everything together nicely. Got me super excited for a proper swaxe guide when Wilds releases!
"I'm not gonna sugarcoat it."
R2 + [TRIANGLE]
Insect glaive next please. Great video. I might go with this weapon

swag axe is looking insane
ALWAYS loved the swag axe!!!!!
The update to the switch axe brought a few things to it that it was sorely lacking in World: defensive options (offset and counter) and a great way to charge the "battery" for the sword. Huge wins.
I will definitely main this, provided it doesn't somehow get nerfed.
I feel like the animations aren't my favorite. Im sure they'll grow on me eventually though.
Really...?! Which ones do you not like? I thought they all looked pretty darn good, although admittedly I've only used it for about an hour.
weapon guide is back.
keep it up. the videos helped me alot in world and iceborne.
The focus mode attack is insane. Really showing the switch in Switch Axe.
Great vids, ty, do hunting horn please !!!
Great guide. Direct to the point, very clear and well made! Kinsect Glaive now? Thank you for your work.
One thing im wondering for the INSECT GLAIVE(please do that one next) is if they brought back the Kinsect Nurture thing.
Rises biggest problem is that is missing along with the projectile marking.

Really thankful for the timing of this for PC release, this is a huge time save for having to figure out some of this on our own so we have more time for character creation optimization
this video was great! i hope to see Hammer and Insect Glaive soon!
I really appreciate your commitment to excellence! Your videos are always so high quality and interesting.☺️🧐♂️
Gunlance feels wild. Shelling while moving, a new full burst style combo, double wyvernfire. It's crazy. Can't wait for the vid on it
Switch axe my beloved
I thought I was doing pretty well and managed to take down Rey Dau fairly early... and now thanks to your guide I realized I wasn't even utilizing a tooon of awesome moves with my favorite weapon haha
Awesome videos, Paradise... keep up the great work and keep the legacey going 💪
For the mounted weapon attack at 6:00 you can mash triangle like a ZSD and get a couple extra ticks of damage before the discharge goes off
The second I forgot how to play it I knew who to search up❤
Waiting patiently for a hammer video because ive been wanting to learn it for a while
I dont think ive ever had such a hard choice to make for what weapon to play till now

THANK YOU FINALLY!!! But next you might wanna do SNS, plenty of people (especially me) have trouble with doing a bit of the moveset correctly, thanks!
Swax Hunter, Reporting in!
Hey Arekkz, I havent read the comments so I apologize if someone asked this already. After ZSD can you cancel when latched on to avoid the long animation? You lose the last explosion but I'm sure you can cancel it in World which then lets me combo again. Keep up the great work!
Favorite move so far? EVERYTHING I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE GAME TOMORROW😂
I miss Arekkz 😢
Same hope he's doing well.
Same, I get that he made the channel, but it's so weird that it's still named after him when we don't hear from him anymore.
“Hey guys its arekkz here” hits different
Why is he not in the videos anymore?
@benhowell5646 if I remember correctly, he wanted to do other stuff and just didn't have time for TH-cam anymore.
switch axe looks SO COOL now
Please do the Hunting Horn next
No wirebugs make menworried all my cool counters are gone but seeing the panic counter and counter rising slash being included in the new moveset is welcoming
Gun Lance. I'm liking it so far but want to master it!
Still getting used to the offset attacks, but it feels great to have a defensive option while chopping away at a monster
Would love to see IG next
I NEED THE LAAAAAANCEEEEEE
Can you still end ZSD early to get the quicker recovery at the cost of a bit less damage on the final explosion?
yes, aperently you have to pull the analog back and triangle/Y
@dralakba-dusk31 That's for the elemental discharge, no? Unless they changed it for ZSD to have that input as well
GREAT SWORD NEXT PLEASE!
Im ready for the hammer video, lets do this
Please cover the gunlance next.
Please do HBG next!
general question, as a pc user i dont have access to the open beta just yet, but i was wondering, when you hit a wound, does it automatically trigger the special wound attack or do you need to press a button before hitting the spot?

Insect glaive next please
Slash Axe competing with Longsword for position of Counter Weapon
tomorrow preload
I wanna see insect glaive next
Can't wait for sword and shield
My brother in Christ…are you being held at gun point? How are you making so many videos so quickly?
The bow would be nice
It’s…it’s….beautiful
Hope The Lance got new moves as it doesn't feel like it did, compared to the other weapons.
It's a bit mixed as it feels like old ways of playing the Lance are much more clunky or nerfed now then they used to be
While we have some old moves I would have liked them to have changed. Shield Attack from guard cough cough.
Pretty much
High Thrust, and Guard Dash have a slower recovery time
Guard after mid or high thrust is slower compared to world
Leaping Thrust feels stickier and it only does two ticks of damage instead of three
You feel slower when attacking out of Power Guard
Viscory Thrust needs more Reach
Shield Attack needs to either gain more ok damage and be able to leap like the leaping Thrust or change it to Shield Charge.
Dash attack need an option to Shield Bash like how shield charge has a option to shield bash
Lastly, why does LS get Hyper Armor?
Otherwise I'm having a fun good game, love how they made the world, hope to see more, just feel like they missed on the Lance a bit.
Swaxe is so fuckin good in Wilds
you gotta do insect glaive next cause i have no idea how it works
Please do insect glaive next
yo you forgot to mention the chip damage for offset attacks: are they in the game as rumors from previous demos said?
Bro all these weapons have so much tech my brain 😭
Bow next!
Gunlance next please
I can’t get it to latch on when I do my element discharge for some reason being amped doesn’t seem to work either so idk what I’m doing wrong I’ve played swaxe for the past few games
Yes who needs guard when we can counter.
We lost the iconic sound effect during zsd. Rip
They turned the sword mode into Nero's Red Queen sword from DMC lol especially with the tomboy devil breaker
Now I hope they have a collaboration with DMC and add Red Queen as an swaxe. They already turned Alastor into a charge blade, so why not this?
The tools were never the problem with switch axe. It just dealt no damage compared to real weapons.
ZSD is like Rise or world?
Great Sword please.
So I guess I'm a switch axe main now
insect glaive next.
The best weapon in monster hunter....yea i said it 😁😁
Hammer ☺
"The swag-axe" 💀💀
It's true tho
i completely missed those new finisher moves despite using this weapon on several hunts lol oh no..
There’s a lot to learn, definitely would be easy to miss! Hopefully that’s what these videos help relieve 🤩
Too Swag 😎
there has to be some nuance to the ZSD sticking to a monster i never got that part of it to work
When is the amped Mode? I try and try and try it but no ZSM haha Edit: I found my Mistake :D
We neeeed the bow🙏🙏🙏
swaxe mains unite!!
How do I get the steam beta?
This made me ZSD IRL
i love me some switch axe, but i've fallen in love with great sword and my second has to be a bonker (horn or hammer) so idk how much i'm gonna use it in the full game. i'm sure i'll work to build a nice one after i'm satisified with my GS/Horn/Hammer... :p
Light bowgun
Kinda difficult now can you give a one by one tutorial then
This is so OP. This will get nerfed lol
0:03 Monster Hunter Rise open beta
LBG pleaaaseeeee
Nintendo coming for you
I'm just happy the swaxe really does still have its counter
0:03 Monster Hunter Rise open Beta?
give me the lance and bow please.
Man it looks bad on PS5. Hope it's better on PC
Not that I don't like Paradise but man I wish Arekkz would come back for just one Wilds video.
Paradise, I love you man, but you called it the Monster Hunter RISE open beta, not WILDS, lol. Gotta get your games straight man.
Man what can I say, I’m just loving the new rise beta 🤣 sooo much monster Hunter on my brain this week, I’ll try and dial it in for the next ones, appreciate you buddy! 🙏
@ No problem 😂. Love your content, keep it up! (Also, if you wanna do me a favor and make the next guide for the Lance, that would be awesome)
Pickle
not that switch :)
"Everyone enjoying the beta" you mean playstation owners
