NEW TU6 Endgame Raw Switch Axe Build: ▶kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJq6o6mreJlklck

[@romanfuchs1932]

Although Elemental Swax can be stronger, Raw is just so much more comfortable. Not having to Swap your Build for each Monster is great. Awesome to see marvelous Raw Builds man!

[@YokaiNox]

That's exactly the reason why i always keep 1-2 Raw Builds in my Loadouts! 👍🏽 Sometimes you just need a quick comfy option to get the job done without thinking too much.

I think swapping loadouts is part of the fun! Adds a fun layer of hunt preparation. To each their own, of course!

@@romanfuchs1932 Exactly, especially during the endgame where you have hunted everything. I really don't wanna swap all the time and I just want to get in a hunt quickly. Plus at this point I'm also tired of the grinding, I just want to enjoy my op builds. The Anomaly Investigations are fun in general but the grind for specific low-end monsters and certain materials that don't show up in your list can be somewhat frustrating.

[@Tale_swapper]

If this video has taught me anything…. This is possibly one of the most diverse end games for builds on switch axe I’ve seen in a loooong time. I love it

[@YokaiNox]

Yup, diverse is a very good way to put it! Switchaxe has lots of viable options right now that each branch off into mutiple directions. Glad you enjoyed it!

With all these Swax Builds I can really tell what your favorite Weapon is haha. No but actually, really great Builds as always Nox!

[@YokaiNox]

The funny thing is, if i had to say wich weapon is my favourite, i honestly have no clue 😄 I play 8 out of the 12 Weapons so much that it's actually pretty balanced^^ It would likely be between Hammer, LS, Swaxe & Sns right now. Wich one is your favourite ?

[@solution5879]

imo, pro.polish lvl 2 suits this build better since you'll need to turn your sharpness to blue to activate grinder S, which could be a hard thing to do with heaven-sent because it prevents you from losing sharpness once it's active. with pro polish level 2 and grinder level 3, the unli sharpness expire first giving you enough time to turn your weapon sharpness to blue again before ginder S lvl 3 runs out. maybe i'm wrong but that's just my cent about it. great video btw!

[@aikckokkoikckia]

Only Heaven sent lvl 3 that can prevent you from losing sharpness

[@YokaiNox]

You got some missinformation here @Solution. Just as aik pointed out already, Heaven-Sent Lv 2 does not deactivate sharpness loss! ^^ Only at Lv 3. And at Lv 3 it also becomes an entirely different Skill.

[@solution5879]

@@YokaiNox ohhh thanks for pointing that correction out for me. i mistook the skill that it recovers sharpness at lvl 3. nowwith that being said, it seems handy and will save you a lot of other skills to alocate on armor slots.

[@jumbokiddo8063]

Thank you for this Awesome vid. Is Lucent narga SA better than Remobra SA as poison weapon?

[@YokaiNox]

Glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ For an actual Poison Build the Remobra Switchaxe would still be more ideal, since it can take better advantage of poison related Skills. But for a Raw damage focused Build the Lucent Switchaxe is the btter one.

[@jumbokiddo8063]

Thank you so much for the response

[@kaiokenx360]

Worst negative? The fact that if I want to implement a skill like buildup boost I gotta lose the core skill of the augmented armor no matter what piece it is (like heaven sent on the robe as an example and that's IF buildup boost even shows up, which is almost never) The whole augment table (and my talisman melding table) basically says one big F YOU to my face.

[@Sharingan112]

Its possible to get build up boost on tempest gear using the normal augment system. I've done it myself in order to keep heaven sent. It just takes a long time of grinding augments until you get it. Took me about 4 million zenny to get it on all 3 pieces

[@YokaiNox]

Yeah it can definitely be a pain getting some of the Skills to drop as Augment on the armor^^" They drop with regular augmenting aswell, wich had a much higher chance of not taking any of the existing Skills away. Will require time & resources though depending on luck. It's actually "easier" to hope on Talisman RNG for stuff like Buildup Boost etc now wich is kinda redicolus^^

[@kaiokenx360]

Oh I know it's possible through regular augment too, but when I say it's fucked. I mean it, even regular augment can lower skills on occasion, and you can bet that when I try, rng hates me lol or like yokai said, even if I'll get lucky eventually, it'll take most of my mats at the moment . As for talismans, you can check what's in your queue by just spam building them with MP pills. But the levels of randomized skills like BB and frostcraft in vigor, in 105 builds (# of MP pills I currently have) is abysmal, I have to "dry" build and grind quests to clear the next meld slots and check the next with MP again which is a pain. I wouldn't "whine" about my RNG otherwise 🤣

[@But_WhatIf]

I got an buildup boost 3, bloodrite 1 , 21 its great for builds like this. Or also protective polish 3, buildup boost 2, 2, 1 its possible.@@YokaiNox

[@adrianthisisnotmylastname7076]

Wonderful videos, great guides and im glad you're still making content with each update. Is the tu4 glaive guide you made a month ago still appropriate for this update?

[@YokaiNox]

Happy to hear you're enjoying the content! ^_^ Yup, that one is still highly effective in TU5! In terms of DPS it's pretty much as good as it gets atm. The new crazy Talismans will upgrade it a bit, but it's not much of a change for now.

[@adrianthisisnotmylastname7076]

Sweet, thanks!

[@NicolaR8]

How do you think exhaust swaxe compares to raw overall? was thinking of making a swaxe build but not sure which one. Thanks for the builds!

[@YokaiNox]

It compares very interestingly would be the right answer here😄 Exhaust falls behind when looking at damage per hit, because it doesnt get the raw damage boost to Sword Mode that Power Phial Axes get. However, Exhaust Phials are the easiest to amp & easiest to build for by far + The access to a KO and increased potential for stuns can make up for some of the dps loss, if your playstyle is very offense oriented. I'll likely make a post about Status (Exhaust/Poison/Para) Builds tomorrow or some time soon. After some testing and doing the math hardly anything changed from the TU4 Builds. Essentialy the only difference will be using more powerfull Talismans now. For best possible dps the Builds would be the exact same - armor part wise. (With the option of running Amatsu legs insted of R.Valstrax if you dont mind loosing Stun Res.)

The Phial Type is listed below the weapons other stats. For example the Magnamalo Axe has Blast & is a Power Phial Type. The Teostra Axe also has Blast, but is a Element Phial Type. Phial Types change how the Weapons amp state works & what kind of boost it gets when you fill the amp Gauge.)

[@xenoworld8354]

How does build up boost exhaust compare? I'm bad at managing charge. Also not that good with counter timing.

[@YokaiNox]

Exhaust with Buildup Boost is still a good option for a comfertable to manage playstyle 👍🏽In terms of damage it will definitely fall behind a bit though. Since you wont have a Power Phial, wich is ideal for Raw Swaxe due to the damage boost it gives to attacks in Sword mode. For Exhaust nothing has realy changed in terms of the Build. Your best option would be the same Build from the Status Swaxe Builds Video. (Reconquress + Protective Polish & as much Builup Boost as you can get your hand on)

[@ferryrichard2739]

May i ask something? I tried to make the remnant upgrade version, but i kinda want to keep the wind mantle skill i already got for, you know, more counter. Is it better if i keep the buildup boost at level 2 + MoH level 1, or sacrifice the MoH for buildup boost level 3? Thank you in advance

[@YokaiNox]

Hey there 🖐🏽Sorry bout the late reply, was out of town for a bit. Luckily it wont make much of a difference here between the 2 skill combinations you mentioned. I personally would go the BB 2 + MoH 1 route. That offers a more well-roundet DPS output. But it honestly wont be a significant difference either way 👍🏽

Question, if you wanted could you opt in for a bit of blast dmg? I have some the armor augmented to fit a raw ig build with amatsu armor and has teo blessing and i think a level of blast dmg up. The build i followed for it wanted them on the build and i dont exactly have the resources to make a new piece and max level it

[@YokaiNox]

You definitely could. Sadly the blast dmg up skill has incredibly low value and is hardly ever worth going for at all. Unless you get it up to max you'll get more out of literally any other dmg increase you could fit into the same slot^^"

[@Mangoloonikus]

@@YokaiNox yea i realized that i had followed a build similar to this with insect glaive. Except due to how often you can attack with it, blast attack, teo blessing and another skill i cant remember rn were used. So i stuck the swaxe on thus build and swapped out the legs for the risen val set and had most of the decos i needed, minus the masters touch. I couldve used the risen teo waist for all 3 levels (augment to remove one level of ballistic for an extra master touch) but id be missing on the frenzy skills. So now its almost done give or take a few of the comfort skills u augmented onto the set as to not through off my other sets

[@thunderswap5316]

Would it be okay if i use a talisman that has Lv:2 rapid morph and has 3.lv 2 slots or should i get that extra level of rapid morph. ❤

[@YokaiNox]

That definitely works 👍🏽You can just drop 1x Lv of Adrenalin Rush for now. You wont be loosing much DMG overall.

Frenzied Bloodlust comes with the Virtue Armor Piece by default (If you're playing as a female Character the Armor is called "Prudence" insted. It's from Risen Shagaru). As for the Rapid Morph Talisman I explained how to get it very early in the Video. Maybe you missed it.

[@TheNinteenhundred]

@@YokaiNox thank you very much and yes my char is female lol

[@unintelligentbeing4348]

Just a question? Is there enough wiggle room to go for 3 heavensent on these builds?

[@YokaiNox]

In theory, yes. But it would only make any sense for the 2nd Build in pratice. Since it would completely go against the Grinder Skill on the 1st Build and drasticaly reduce the DPS as a result. Anything more than Heavensent Lv 2 is sadly very impractical for most Switchaxe Builds to fit in. This might change with TU6 though ^_^

[@nataledesposito2075]

Does the tigrex switch axe works with these builds? I mean stun fial work with build up boost or am I wrong?

[@YokaiNox]

Yup Exhaust Phials work with Buildup Boost. You could use the Tigrex Swaxe with these Builds if you want to.

[@E.F.Dominic]

I badly need some good armour set to beat primal malzeno

[@Josqui-zv8gm]

honestly, i dont understand how ur lucent nargacuga swicht axe have 385 atack with only one atack augment, that only gives you 5 atack power.

Would there be any way for the para Swaxe to keep up with these builds? Maybe trying to jam in status trigger some how?

[@YokaiNox]

Para is still very good! ^_^ And actually keeps up pretty well, specialy in multiplayer. After some testing it turns out that for both Para & actual Poison Swaxe Builds nothing has changed from TU4. The best possible Build dps wise is still the exact same one from the Status Swaxe Video (wich also runs Status Trigger😄). All that would change is incooperating one of the new Talismans like RM 3 [2-2-2] or ATK 3 [2-2-2] & possible the Amatsu Legs if you want to have Heaven-Sent Lv 1 and are fine with the 30sec of not taking damage to activate it. Since Para gets very good use out of ZSD (wich literally eats sharpness) the straight up Masters Touch approach still comes out ontop for most cases. Unless ofc you have some crazy Talisman that lets you incooperate Heaven Sent Lv 2 and keep everything else intact.

I'm not sure how grinder increases attack or how much?

[@YokaiNox]

Grinder(S) increases your damage by 10% for 90 Seconds after restoring 2 Levels of Sharpness. So you just attack the monster untill you loose the purple & white sharpness, then you sharpen. And because 2 Levels were now restored Grinder(S) is activated and you get the 10% buff. You will not see your Attack value change on your Stat screen though, because Grinder acts as a buff to the Sharpness multiplier, wich cannot be seen. The only place you see any change in numbers is on your attacks, wich wil do significantly more damage now.
