MHW: IB [PC] - Kulve Taroth Switch Axe Solo - 7'59 TA Rules

[@fyra4603]

Beautiful run man, you show how agile and flexible the SwitchAxe is! Love it.

[@xerox2552]

Omg... What a fucking dance. You are out of this planet. I'm main SA since day one and I really can notice the movemenets, the 'stops', the all ins, I notice EVERYTHING!! You amazing my dude!!!

[@Plasmorite]

Wow dude I have to say I'm truly amazed by your playstyle. The way you mastered SA is just insane ! I have about 550h with SA but I'm waaay behind you. I have been watching this run several times already and each time it motivates me a bit more to keep learning this weapon. Thanks a lot ! And very good job again man.

[@kekko5729]

Glad I can motivate others to become better at SA. Getting good at SA takes time but you will get there eventually. Keep up the grind big guy. Appreciate the comment a lot.

[@Plasmorite]

@@kekko5729 I knew evade window was a thing with SA but I never played with it before seeing you (dumb me). I tried adding 3 levels of it today, now I realise how you can dodge attacks so "easily". That's just insane so I'll repeat myself, thank you my dude !

[@kekko5729]

@@Plasmorite Ironically I am not even sure if it helps that much in this particular matchup. The only attack that might need evade window to dodge is the headbutt. I am pretty sure everything doesn't need it. And even then with only two levels put into evade window I usually treat my evade as if I didn't have any levels in evade window at all. That being said I don't really like that you just get evade window pretty much for free.

[@coomer5826]

@@kekko5729 evade window help a lot with kt's lava body slam in the last phase, i'm not sure if it's dodgeable with a roll otherwise.

Subsribed!!!,awesome run👏👏👏.hope to see more from you, maybe switch axe in your point of view or your playstyle preferences.thankyou good hunter

[@Deaga]

I don't think the claw would do much at all tbh, loads of Kulve runs just don't bother, including Nora's SA run. Her hitzones are so high that tenderizing almost doesn't do anything lol. Great run btw! Now that we have a sub8 by someone speaking in English I guess I can stop trying. :P

[@Deaga]

I actually thought Nora's run was a 7'22, while it's actually 8'22, so you deserve even more congratulations now!

[@kekko5729]

@@Deaga This can probably go a lot lower if i was using claw to get agi at the start of A1/A2 as well as using ZSD's on claggers but i thought i'd do this one without claw at all since this is probably gonna be the only matchup that allows it without giving up too much.

[@Deaga]

@@kekko5729 Oh yeah using the claw just for agitator might be worth it. KT takes a while to roar so you can get some free attacks in if you let go of the claw after the three slaps too. On the other hand, the three slaps do take some time to do themselves, so I dunno... Your run IS faster than Nora's who did that, after all.

[@Kianypour]

Where did you see a speedrun by Nora? Looked it up and couldn't find anything

[@Deaga]

Seems like they privated the video for some reason?? I got the link off one of my old videos and it doesn't work anymore.

[@dcshiori]

Cool. GG!

[@HeiSanKos]

You ever think you would gain more overall damage if you opted to use power prolonger instead of peak performance. You wouldn't need to rely on health augment and could go power augment instead?

[@kekko5729]

Would probably be good if I opted to go a lot heavier on sword especially in A1. Don't know how much the Attack Augment changes against Kulve damage wise since on most other monsters 5 more True Raw from an extra Attack Augment usually nets +2-3 damage a hit on average, which on Kulve might be more due to her Hitzones being really good. However having Peak on a topple probably evens out the damage that i would otherwise get by being in Amped state for longer with Power Prolonger. Overall I think both options are pretty much equal in terms of DPS unless it's not a Sword heavy matchup. So you can just choose whatever fits you better which, in my case, was Peak + Heath Aug.

[@Deaga]

I don't think skipping on health augment would be advisable as Kulve's attacks hurt a ton and she has the lava AoEs. Not using Health Augment would mean a lot of time spent healing and the extra attack augment is probably a very negligible amount of damage. But running Prolonger with the Health Augment is an ok option I think, Nora's 8'22 run did just that

[@kekko5729]

@@Deaga pretty much why i wasn't opting for attack aug. You're not allowed to make any mistake without health augment unless you wanna spend a lot of time of the run just healing.

Awesome

U fight with monster like Muhammad Ali

Swagaxe, more content about swagaxe please i subsricbe for support

[@kekko5729]

Daryn RD there is gonna be more content probably starting next week since my controller broke and due to corona it apparently takes ages for my new one to be delivered.

[@satanasteguarda]

What layered armor is that?

[@kekko5729]

It's the Harvest Layered Armor from Base World. Not sure if it is still obtainable although I don't think that it is.

[@Eugene_IO]

God, this is how I want to be, when playing SwitchAxe. Actual SwitchAxe skill, not ZSD spamming.
