Monster Hunter Now - Charge blade advanced tips

[@loicz3504]

One more advanced move is the direct access to SAED/AED : swipe up just as a guard point connects.

[@warwicksulista8320]

Quick tip, if you wanna charge your phials and switch to axe mode without using a phial (swipe down, tap) combo Simply press the SP button, if you have yellow or red bar you will charge and transition with a normal axe attack instead of using a phial after charging, so also keep this in mind, if you like to guard point by pressing the SP button before the attack, if you have yellow/red bar, the animation will NOT have the guard point as your char will charge then change to axe

[@amanlyspoon6257]

One cool thing I learned If u guard counter into aed there’s a brief window after where u can do the ultimate, as ur technically in axe mode for a little bit. It really saved me a couple times when I miscalculated the window of attack a bit. cool vid!

[@Jwalko4]

I’m finding that elemental CB is just ridiculously strong. I’m able to take down 7* monsters with a rank 5 weapon. I could never do that with my lances. Hope it doesn’t get nerfed

[@shawnzyplays]

yeah niantic needs to buff other weapons, not nerf the strong ones!

[@Octoputzi]

Ye I even killed a 8* girros with a g5/2 cb

[@stefanguides2327]

Just like dual blades

[@Shannie1412]

Do you have recommended sets for charge blade?

[@warwicksulista8320]

King of charmanders just posted a reccomended elemental builds, and will post soon the raw builds version

If U want test build suree

[@Tarmsabye]

Not sure if this has been answered in the video, but was wondering if you charge your shield, does your special attack do more damage?

[@glitchy938]

yes

[@beesayka]

how to make an AED with the shield charged, I can't do it when the shield is charged, it only makes SAEDs

[@shawnzyplays]

in axe form, tap and hold and flick downwards

[@beesayka]

@@shawnzyplays I don't understand, I can't do it, there's not a video that explains how to do it because I feel like I'm crazy that everyone can do it except me, it's a bad timing story or

[@voltshocker09]

Did anyone know and I just found out that status weapons phials do apply status effects as well

[@GurenKitsune]

No status phials only elemental and impact (impact phials don't help apply status either its just bonus dmg)

[@voltshocker09]

@GurenKitsune I thought so myself but I did a saed while odogan was down and immediately when the phails exploded was when he became paralyzed. I'll keep checking to make sure I'm not tripping because the game does do things like double attacks with longsword with one hit which I'm not complaining

[@GurenKitsune]

I mean it's Niantic they kinda just do whatever; pokemon go has it where you can earthquake flying types

[@lutsurugi]

​@@voltshocker09beware, statuses are applied delayed. so you probably passed the threshold before and it just looked that way.

[@capibaramalo7235]

Thank you Shawnzy, was waiting for this video

[@shawnzyplays]

You're very welcome!

[@youngporky6213]

You Forgot to Add..( Guard Point )...😅😅 it Takes Zero Damage... When Perfect Blocks...😅😅 it Glows Blue Sparks...

[@shawnzyplays]

That's why we need experts like you to chip in some information. It's all about community sharing!

[@bakajelly2698]

Personally using elemental discharge 1 and 2 then roll n again deals a faster dps imo

[@hunzukunz]

Charge Blade is by far the strongest weapon i have tried in this game, the damage is so high, you can block, have guard points and good reach. and its not actually that complex, because you can ignore half of the mechanics to deal good damage. just like in the clips: dont charge shield, just get phials, switch to axe mode and either hit 2x->roll and repeat, or hit the full combo into AED. going for SAED is almost always too risky and charging the shield takes too much time. since this game has such short hunts its just not worth it. ofc if you fully script a fight, there might be better dps with more advanced gameplay, but on average sticking to the simple method seems better.

[@maltaboy305]

This video does not mention how to send vials to your shield.

Looks awesome. I just hate feeling like I'm locked into/invested in other weapons and don't want to waste zeeeennnnniiiii and other resources in a new weapon till I'm finished upgrading what I've got. Really would be nice to be able to dismantle weapons and get mats back to try out stuff without feeling like I'm taking steps back. 😂

[@shawnzyplays]

Know what you mean buddy. Atm CB is just a weapon to mess around with. I can't give up my bows. Not yet

[@t3r3nc392]

is SAED sever, blunt or ammo?

[@warwicksulista8320]

SAED and AED is sever, with the secondary is blunt dealing stun dmg to the head

[@hendrotomo4529]

What is AED and SAED ? tia

[@shawnzyplays]

SAED is that one big signature move where you expend all phials in a huge explosion. AED is that overhead smash attack that uses 1 phial and it has 3 follow up burst. SAED = super amped elemental discharge AED = amped elemental discharge. find out more here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJqnh2iJgctogdk

[@aidenwrath1402]

With how the game is, it may sound heretical but red shield just ain’t worth it lol. Not as beneficial as it is in other games at a baseline as well as the time limit, plus it locks you into SAED punishes only which WILL get you killed. AEDs are just better all around

[@shawnzyplays]

you have a point!

[@Zypherfox1]

Yay my favorite

[@xWilsonxx1]

Didn’t know you speak Cantonese Shawnzy😂”好amazing啊”

[@shawnzyplays]

Actually I don't haha! But I guess I'm alright with reaaaaalllllllly basic Canto words

[@HoangNguyen-ir4ot]

I don't think the 20% bonus from the red shield is worth it. It's better to just spam AED. Remember, you can't deal damage if you can't survive!

[@shawnzyplays]

Maybe at the beginning. After awhile if you get used to it, essentially it takes maybe another 1+ seconds to go from storing phials to charging shield. Oh hmm but you'll have to charge phials again. You make a good point

[@aidenwrath1402]

Yeah, I felt this too. Too long to charge, too slow to not get punished by most things and whiffing once legit equals a failed hunt lmao

Red shield is basically useless for this game.
