It’s so generous of Ruri to still put out these guides…despite him being an LS main.

[@jhonayo4887]

Yeah he's such a great advocate for the LS. LS really is the hardest and most underrated weapon in the game. People don't understand how mishandled and under powered this weapon has been.

[@AsmoAstro]

Yea every LS main should try a other wapon some times. How good that you can take 2 wapons with you. So maybe i replace my second LS I will carry with me with another wapon for fun and try it out

Another beginner tip, “guard points” (animations that allow you to block attacks) now highlight your shield in white. So it’s easier to spot what is and isn’t a guard point so you can practice the timing.

Thanks for the guide Ruri. This is one of the more organized/ explained guides I have seen for charge blade. As a relative new-comer to monster hunter your use of both the name of the moves and also button inputs is very helpful. Love the content and thanks again. Enjoy the Wilds!!

[@Glenningway]

This video helped me tons in this Beta, thank you Ruri! I'll be going Greatsword/Chargeblade. The QoL changes for Charge Blade allows me to play more comfortably and focus on monster movement. The focus mode into SAED is powerful if the monster is covered in wounds, and you get some good knockouts.

[@MiraiKishi]

The Shield Charge shortcut is a game changer. I'm glad I watched this.

[@guitarluva90]

The shield glows white when you have a guard point active.

[@Arkyuu]

I love how both Charge blade and switch axe have their respective axes mode more involved in the moveset unlike previous games where you just spam on or the other of their attacks.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

@@magicmungis8822 Ah, I actually didn't play much of World Switch Axe. Do phial bursts happen in Axe mode after charging the bar full and it gets that glow?

[@aaron-hsu86]

Something I noticed with CB that you missed: - when you have Savage Axe activated, your phials aren't consumed as quickly. - they gave the Axe a Fading Slash attack, like the Switch Axe has. Without SavAxe, Element Discharge 1 and 2 both cost a phial per attack, and the Amped Element Discharge also costs a phial per swing. With SavAxe, Element Discharge attacks don't consume phials, and the Amped Element Discharge only costs half a phial. It was a bit confusing how inconsistent my phials lasted during the Beta, but once I noticed SavAxe mode not consuming phials for ED1+2 attacks, it makes gaining SavAxe mode even more important for the CB. Especially with how much more fluid the Axe attacks are. Especially with the Fading Slash attack. Instead of needing to rely on dodging for all of CB's repositioning in Axe mode, you could Fading Slash backwards. Honestly, it's not much, but it's really nice to have more movement options.

Ive watched a handful of weapon videos from multiple people. It really seems like they went, ok what were the biggest issues in World with these weapons? Ok. Lets fix that.

[@sandile_9505]

Khan you made me love monster hunter games. Thanks for the videos mate.

[@Sadeyr]

It would be so satisfying if you could charge your sword after your shield with the new shield charge combo. Extend your downtime slightly but get both your shield and sword charged in a single long move instead of having to do it twice, it'd be super comfy esp with how fast you go through phials in wilds! But the new shield charge lowers the overall time to charge everything nicely already, I think.

[@Tahu33446]

Not sure i like the need for monster interaction for getting to savage axe or the change to how to do SAED. If anything the new path to SAED would have made sense to me as being the original longer path that they then simplified (ie how it used to work)

[@maktastik7484]

OMG as a charge blade main. So good. Also you can actually charge phials 3 times. Use the 2 and immediately have another charge ready. ^_^

[@Rukha85]

I tried it today. Noticed I had no idea what I was doing. Came here to check Ruri's video. Got educated. Still have no idea what to do because muscle memory keeps telling me "you are a GS main, what are you doing here?"

[@DavyDavePapi]

I think I'm going to maining Charge Blade, loved it in World. And for the first time, Greatsword. I never used it in World but damn the weapon is damn fun when can clash AND do an offset. Its fun

[@aeonise]

It feels like they're trying to force us to focus on the power axe mode for damage, but I've never liked it. That style wants you to stand still and swing to get good damage (and the timing of it always feels off with the hangs on each hit), which is a lot riskier than I like to play. I always preferred to fight mainly in sword mode and just try to snipe openings with the SAED, but that's no longer an option thanks to removing the short path into it.

[@dr.bright2446]

Very good video, now next please.

[@thedarkemissary]

Always liked chargeblade. Always hated having to setup. They doubled the setup. 🤔

[@HelloImCrimson]

Im subbing. This is gold

[@Ocelot435]

I could be wrong, but I don’t think you can get the savage axe transformation from a gaurd point. I think it’s only from a perfect neutral guard. During the whole of the ps beta I wasn’t able to get it from a guard point. I’ve got over 2000 CB hunts in World so I know the timing pretty well.

[@yue7507]

The only way you can trigger a savage axe activation with a guard point is if it triggers a clash. Otherwise you can only do it through a perfect guard.

[@mradamoooooo]

I’ve always been a bit intimidated by charge blade but I think I might actually learn it for wilds

[@HotWheels1776]

CB has been my main weapon since it was introduced. Took a break from it with a short affair in Rise with swagaxe but we are so back now bby!

[@gwenfranklin8242]

Worth noting I've heard its better for damage to do the whole element discharge combo now into amped follow up then saed so the saed spam of the past is less favoured

[@rainbowkrampus]

I'm interested to see how evade extender works with the new axe mode repositioning. If it does increase the distance traveled, I can already see some real goofy playstyles where you're just constantly shifting position to stay just to the side of the monster's head in a constant dance. If you get good at shuffling around the monster constantly, you may never have to use the shield at all. That aside, man they added so many new considerations here. It's gonna take me awhile to get my head around it. It's kinda nice feeling like I don't know how to use CB again. Like, I keep forgetting that AED doesn't convert to sns anymore. So I keep standing there waiting for an animation to complete that isn't going to happen and then I get clobbered. Also need to get better about using the new shield charge GP. And make more use of perfect guard... and...

[@Reebonics]

Been loving charge blade so far but I really hope PC becomes more stable at launch. I am running very beefy hardware and I still have to run FSR3 and Frame gen so I can't imagine what other people are having to suffer through.

Checking by to see if I missed anything as a CB user since MH4U .. have to say I find it interesting both this video and another I watched didn't really comment much about the changed regular discharge circle combo. Now .. I only did one hunt so far (more time pls ahhhh) but I found it hard to properly hit the entire new combo. It feels like the first part hits in a different direction than the second, good old familiar, part of the combo. I wonder if it's a hint to frequently use focus mode or just a thing to get used to. hmmm

[@claytonvolner5950]

I don’t know if it’s the same as world but savage axe or power axe as they’re calling it now only worked when you had charged phials because it used to drain them over time. I’m not sure if that’s still the case but I figured it may be worth a mention in case it’s still relevant.

[@ethanowens473]

It is a duration only now. No phials required.

[@claytonvolner5950]

@ That’s good. I wasn’t sure so I thought maybe that information would be useful but it is what it is.

[@Aerrondight]

I love this version of CB, but whats the point of Guard points (GP) now over Perfect guards (PG)? They both do phial damage, both make you take less knockback/damage and less stamina loss, both can counter into SAED. But its also easier to counter Savage axe mode from a PG. So why GP now? I really loved that skill expression and combination of offense and defense. But right now PG's seem to offer both more reward with less risk.

Uptime Guard points when used well have more uptime

[@Raelthorne]

The thumbnail got my so excited to see thrle hunter holding the blade in her right hand and the shield on her left arm. Got baited.

Another game of onnly playing 2 handed weapons, it is.

[@twoshieldsandsomemilk]

Great googily moogily the sword is ENORMOUS on the basic charge blade

[@TheBlueFoxeh]

I have found that I am unable to use Savage ax chainsaw attacks by holding the attack button while using focus mode to aim them. I don't have enough fingers to move the right analog stick And hold press the circle button. Would you recommend using mouse and keyboard?

[@PvtGlarb]

only if thats more comfortable. you dont need to use focus mode to aim, but if its something you wanna do then experimenting with keyboard might be a good idea

[@TheBlueFoxeh]

@PvtGlarb I've been enjoying the ability to change my facing while an attack is going off, especially for attacks that have a large commitment like the AED and the saed. I don't really see a visible downside to using focus mode except for the fact that it gives off a very different feel that monster Hunter didn't have before. I don't know if the developers intended for somebody to want to use focus mode at all times but I honestly don't see a downside and the upside is the ability to continually aim as monsters shift around

[@k0si]

I will have to test this as well. I cant comprehend how can you move right analog and press circle at the same time, for me both of those use my thumb finger :P On PC i played world on mb+kb and i had to get used to it, after PS4, but it could be that its way more comfortable. Just remember that focus mode is a separate action to hold, so probably some side mouse button action would be best to activate it

[@TheBlueFoxeh]

@@k0si I have a mouse with 7 thumb buttons, I can use one of them for focus quite easily

[@ltlsWhatltIs]

I still don’t understand why we can’t swap weapon orientation, like in the grand scheme it’s a small gripe, but it has always bothered me that everyone is apparently left handed in the monster hunter universe. Has Capcom ever come out with a reason for this? Maybe I’m missing something.

[@FromTheVoid10011]

Actually it’s related from lore, hunters are willing to hold their shields with their strong arm because hunting is about defending the people not killing the monsters :)

Is it me or is the super amp element discharge just not as beefy as it used to be in the world?

[@fenison4430]

I've not been able to play the beta, but i'm not sure i like the new way of charging the shield with elemental boost, and what i mean specifically with this, is that i don't like how it replaces the roundslash as the better faster way to charge the shield, in concept i'm fine with charging the shield with elemental boost because it's tied nicely to somewhat the same controls as charging your sword (charge phials into charge sword, charge phials into charge shield, it just makes sense in my head), what i don't like is that now roundslash seems to be useless, which makes me question why it's even there instead of a new move or something, either these two options should have some different advantages to them (elemental boost for speed charging shield, roundslash for... something else) or roundslash should just be something new, because one of my most hated things in games are movesets where certain moves repeat themselves, but one version of that move is objectively better than the other, so the other one by default becomes useless and has no reason to be used (and no, i don't think "because players are used to these controls" is a good enough excuse to keep a useless move or mechanic around), i would hate if that happened to charge blade because i especially loved in world how pretty much every move had it's own specific use case, nothing felt like it was a waste.

[@christophersebastiao7501]

Let's GOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥

[@PvtGlarb]

another piece of into for the newbies when charging your sword, you get a skill called "minds eye" it prevents your weapon from bouncing off the monster, even if you overheat your sword by not loading phials. its nice to have incase you accidently forget to load phials, you generate too many phials at once or the monster has hard skin that would normally make your weapon bounce

[@k0si]

i think this is like the most low key OP thing on the charge blade. I remember in world when i was playing different weapons in the beginning and went into yellow sharpness i would bounce most attacks. On CB you just forget theres weapon bouncing at all. Aaaand this also creates bad habits if you play for too long ;)

[@jasonkeith2832]

Overcharging the sword also makes the sword so phial bursts, albeit at double the sharpness loss.

[@ShupperDupper]

do not bother, when you charge your sword after loading phials you get more damage on your sword attacks and NATURAL MINDS EYE. and just sharpen! you can do it on seikret and it keeps your weapon damage high!

Charge blade has got to be one of the clunkiest weapon in the game. So slow, so much down time between axe attacks, incredibly immobile and has one of the longest sheathe animations. I've been trying to get into CB since World but I find GS and SA just do everything CB does but faster and with more precision. CB shines best in solo play too because you can't reliably guardpoint counter with SAED when the monster has 3 other targets to potentially arggo to. And now they lock savage axe behind a paywall, like wtf???

Am I the only one who think, that they definitely messed up with the sword scaling on this one? It's just comedically and disproportionally large for Charge Blade. Yes, average Charge Blade is bigger, than SnS, but that monstrosity is the size of the woman. Even shield looks small on contrast. Also it's dives under the ground and clips the floor in some animations. Boy-o-boy...

I don't like the fact that now we have to walk the extra mile to do the SAED 😒 That extra move is unnecesary and frustating.

[@ltlsWhatltIs]

you can do it from a block no? what extra steps?

[@NinSonyFan]

@ltlsWhatltIs in order to unleach an SAED you need to perfor an elemental discharge first, unless you perfect block an attack, but i want to go straight to SAED!! Like it used to be since MH4U when the CB first appeared!
