Strongest long sword Carnotaur vs Caveman with transformer

acidic is cool too not as much as regular but still cool

I will never forget carting to the second tail swipe when I fought my first Glavenus.

One of the coolest monsters in the entire franchise

My favorite monster, i will never forgive how capcom ruined his switch axe, hope he'll be in wilds.

Found it xD

Trying to get into SA. Any gear youwould recommend when just startig Guiding Lands? So pre rajang and fatalis?

100% agreed! People are being unreasonably harsh on the switchaxe, it's absolutely amazing in Wilds. The flow is unparalleled imo, using the entire moveset is encouraged and feels amazing. Unfortunately, this happens every time a MH game comes out for every weapon. Lots of people started playing MH in the last game that came out (in this case Rise), and will inevitably criticize the weapon for not being what they're used to. I have friends who have played MH since tri, and they are all ecstatic about Wilds Swaxe, while my "Rise baby" friends absolutely hate it.

Even tho you didn't use it here, I just got the health augments and im being insanely unlucky where the zsd final explosion doesn't heal me because the heal is on cooldown, is this just luck or do you have tips

Tigrex got Tigrecked LOL seriously though, today was a rough day for the monster. Absolutely destroyed. I should try Heroics Switch Axe again.

Great video. World/Iceborne is my first Monster Hunter game and I decided to take switch axe through the entire game and expansion. Once I mastered the movement I fell in love with it. Over 300 hours in switch axe so far and I can't put it down, I have no desire to try another weapon With that being said I haven't been paying any attention to the feedback from the beta, and now I wish I never had. I was planning on taking switch axe through Wilds but all the negativity around it really has me scared. I didn't get a chance to play the beta but it seems everyone is disappointed in it. I will have to just wait until release I suppose. But it will be heartbreaking if I can't use switch axe to the potential l've built up playing World.

Damn

Reckless but clean as heck!

jeez!

0:39 that's why we call him Bloody Hunter

From a new SA player pov: Missed IB switchaxe (didn’t play Rise), they nailed the “switch” formula, morphing feels so good, axe and sword have their unique purposes, variety playable, strong but not overpowered. Yes zsd spam is there but I only use it in some specific situations. Now axe and swd just feels like filler moves for Full Release. Hope there’s a second survey for us to reiterate on SA improvements.

hey, atleast they're having fun

I just reached High Rank. I started using Switch Axe to farm odegaron pieces for his set in order to kill Rathalos. I haven't switched ever since. I'm current level 0 at your list : D I can't properly connect the transformations, I'm always sheeting the weapon and running... I just sucks but hey... weapon is cool : D

and then they changed charge blade to be axe only, the complete opposite of what they did to Switch Axe XD

2:18 almost

smooth dodge 2:40

If there is one thing I am proud of is I took this sucker down while still using HR armour and my LunaNergi swaxe first try in the DLC. The wing part break was entirely by accident though lol but it was smooth sail from there even if I still got thrown around a lot

Honestly, this video, as much as I love playing Switch Axe, made me realise that I love just watching the incredible animation work of the weapon as well. The Sword combos especially highlights just how amazing it feels to use a weapon that just flows and loops PERFECTLY. Also i don't really remember struggling with Barioth. I just remember doing bugger-all damage because it WON'T FREAKING TARGET ME IN MULTIPLAYER.

Can you use a smokebomb to return to camp during Escaton? Two of the guys that tried to help me seemed to disappear from the arena, but when I tried it it didn't work. Dunno if smokebombs take a while to register or something

Whats your wilds user?

This was the monster that made me ragequit greatsword and realise I suck at this game. The biggest roadblock for me.

You gonna stream the 2nd Wilds beta?

Barioth of one of my favorite fights in this game. The wing breaks and tail cut leads to noticeable and tangible effects in the monster's movement and tail swipe. Very fun fight!

As good as Sunbreak switch axe was, the wirebug moves elemental burst counter and switch charger promoted skipping the CHARGING aspect of the weapon for more uptime on sword mode. Despite it kind of defeating the purpose of axe-charges-sword mechanic, a LOT of players liked the change. It was guaranteed there would be backlash if those things were taken away.

it's satisfying to c someone as obssessed w swax as me kepp that up bro✊✊

Watching you be so delinerate with the wing spike part breaks was verrry satisfying to watch, good work! Also, why use Lightbreak over Fatalis? Just preference?

I don't really feel Swaxe this time around. Offset is very mid and can get staggered even successfully counter it.

As someone who has always liked Swaxe conceptually but could never really get into it I LOVE getting sword gauge by hitting the monster in Axe mode, this is how the weapon always felt like it should work to me. I actually assumed that was how it worked when I first tried swaxe and was disappointed to learn I was wrong. I really enjoyed it in the Wilds beta.

I feel like FRS is in the same boat that TCS was in for me in MHWI. A final attack that is stronger than everything in your kit by far, so you try to rush it each time in order to maximise your damage. But the TCS in MHWI doesn't punish you for using it for fat damage. FRS does punish you for using it, unlike TCS, though, which is why I think it feels so bad. And I do think the fix is just to buff the damage on the rest of the Switch Axe moves. Kinda what they did with Wilds GS. They made the first 2 CS almost as strong as a TCS, so instead it feels like a ramp up to the big hit instead of chasing that big hit and ignoring everything else.

Mahnster Hunters vid changed my mind about passive regen since yeah, I hate sheathing but if the monster is doing stuff I simply can't interact with I'm motvated to sheathe and run around. I had that happen with Rey a few times. I aint playing greatsword here. I think small passive regen that increases while sheathed is an acceptable middle ground.

Considering that in world the meta was get sword to full charge and then spam zsd as much as physically possible, I'll take changes that encourage using the weapons entire kit all day long

Well except the slingshot move, I'm ticking every part. Proud SA (Just realized it can be understand as sexual assault) main

It's nice seeing someone playing the weapon for it's entire moveset, despite having almost 100 hunts with SA on Iceborne, I never actually stopped to learn it properly, I just spammed ZSD with Mantles for a while and moved on to a different weapon.

Why have you been using the lightbreak for most of these? Also why would someone to for evasion instead of temporal

Wilds SA is very different from World Iceborne SA. We complain a lot about the poor flow between Sword and Axe but in Iceborne it was much worse. You used Sword to do damage and often spamming ZSD. In Wilds I actually see a flow, but it is based on the use of counters (in sword) and offset attacks (in axe) which combine very well with both combos and gauge maintenance. If I look to the future, I see different ways to play it, depending on the skills inserted in weapons and armor. One way based on a continuous flow of counters. The other on spamming Element discharge finisher (which is also the finisher of a type of Focus mode so it will be used often) followed by Full release slash. Then there is the fantastic ZSD. Sure, the real damage comes from the Sword (but lately it's always like this) and the Axe seems almost like something uncomfortable to carry around for many.. Instead I think that the Axe still has interesting things like the Forward overhead slash (from Rise Sunbreak) that gives you fantastic forward mobility (which wasn't there in Iceborne..and that's not a small thing). In addition, the full Focus mode in Axe mode fills 3/4 of the gauge barr and the final hit enhances the Axe.. not a small thing.. However, I would also have preferred that the Power Axe increase the partbreak and KO and not the damage

We’re you slinger bursting screamer pods? I never thought to do that but that’s genius.

Doing a like comment and subscribe so more people see this video. I agree with you, been a switch axe main since Tri, and I think this version has the most potential of all the games. Im excited to see it fine tuned and to see more of your content man.

Yeah based, obviously we still have to wait and see, but across the board buffs should hopefully lower the importance of full release and encourage a more interesting playstyle.

I wanna say I wish you'd do some of these for rise but I already know it's only gonna be the counter getting used so nevermind please stay with world 🙏

Biggest issue with Wilds Switch Axe for me is the lack of Morphing options. 2 staged morph slash made morphing so smooth and fun while also making gauge management also fun. (Switch Charger Silkbind was not at all needed or used because Morphing from Sword to Axe refilled the gauge a meaningful amount, even more with the Switcher Rampage Deco) Also, Axe mode *was* used in Sunbreak quite alot. Best combo even had you switch between the two modes, not just Sword mode. I did overall enjoy SA in the beta but the weapon peaked in Sunbreak.

The updates they made to it in the notes are very vague. I’m going to assume if they buffed Full Release then it got buffed for all actions. If not, most of its damage is coming from only Full Release.

Switch axe on MH Sunbreak is peak switch axe

To give my own understanding of switch axe a test. 1. I think that the reason power axe does not Buff part break is because of wounds. Personally, wound breaks result in >90% flinches from the monster, almost making the part flinches from world irrelevant. That is probably why power axe is the way it is. 2. I still say that axe mode needs a small speed buff, especially when factoring in rapid morph. In my mind, it is not to speed up the heavy hitting attacks, it is to speed up movement attacks like; Axe Thrust, Forward Overhead Slam, Fade slash, Morphing Fade Slash and any other movement based axe attack that I may be missing. Having the option to morph into axe mode, realize you messed up, then do one of these moves to get out of the way while also hitting the monster is peak switch axe. 3. In my mind, the philosophy of switch axe is having an answer to everything. It does not have to be the best answer, heck it could be a bad answer, but it should exist in order to keep you in the fight. Of course you could say that about any weapon but the beauty of switch axe is its adaptability of game plan on the fly. ( Sorry this point was supposed to say a lot more, but I just won't be able to get my point across in text) 4. ED and ZSD need their roles. Personally, I think ZSD was and is a move that is poorly suited for the switch axe philosophy, but since it exists as a finisher, it should be used as a finisher that will do more total damage than FRS. ED should be used to prediction snipe the monster by giving 1 big hit at the right time to hit the monster when nothing else can. I am not giving many examples, because this change is supposed to be for veterans of the weapon. There are a lot more things that can be discussed, but these two changes beside the ones you noted are what I think should be done.
