It just doesn't look like a sword or an axe, its a weirdly shaped chunk of metal on your back.

They are always shown either in axe mode or sword mode, crafting menu, fashion showcases, concept art. They just don't look like a weapon to me in that state.

Does anyone else think like that? I have never heard anyone talk about this.

Some image I found describing my point.

Hello guys, just wanted advice on what was considered โ€œgoodโ€ for Switchaxe as I am still not the best at making builds. Any advice would be appreciated. I am running the brachydios axe for right now till I can fight raging brachydios if that helps with your criticism. Thank you

๐——๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป New Expansion Mechanic for Switch Axe - FRS Blast Dash

12 Upvotes

It would be really cool if, in the expansion, the devs implemented the Gunlance's Blast Dash from Rise into the Switch Axe.

I'd imagine it could serve as an alternate route while charging Full Release. For example, instead of automatically going into the Full Release Slash after charging, holding a specific button combination could propel you forward by utilizing the Full Release explosion for momentum. The longer you charge Full Release, the more momentum your Full Release Blast Dash would have.

This could create some really interesting interactions with Focus Mode and give the Switch Axe some awesome positioning utility.

Thoughts?

No gear past high rank Arkveld is allowed since thatโ€™s where the dlc will start. Also no Artian weapon or rng talisman.

I'm looking for any tips as to what I may be doing wrong with my build for Alatreon, and if there's anything a little bit past or around my level that could help on the elemental side of things.

- I've got the HIGHEST ice elemental weapon available to me as far as I know.

-Raging Brachy armor for the Agitator buff.

- I leveled up my ice attack charm almost all the way leveled up.

In MH wilds, I noticed SO MANY people use the Switch axe now in the past few months as opposed to before it was buffed in the Gogmazios Title Update(?)

Now Charge Blade players seem to as rare as I remember Swax used to be. Did anyone else notice the two swapped places? Are YOU a former Charge Blade player who converted lol? ๐Ÿคญ

Hey everyone,

Iโ€™m looking to optimize this Element Switch Axe build. Iโ€™ve got the skills where they are right now (as seen in the screenshot), but I want to make sure Iโ€™m not missing out on better elemental synergy or building inefficiently for the meta.

does this look like an optimal setup for an Element Phial Switch Axe?

If not, what are the changes I need to make to maximize my elemental damage output? What skills should I be prioritizing or dropping to take this to the next level?

Thanks for the help

Iโ€™m a Swaxe main and Iโ€™ve got this friend who got me into monster hunter years ago who plays multiple weapons and mains lance and sns but refuses to use Swaxe, he says heโ€™s used it before and didnโ€™t enjoy it but Iโ€™ve told him itโ€™s a hard weapon that takes some getting used to. Heโ€™s said things like he has issue with mobility and feels slow and Iโ€™ve explained that thereโ€™s ways around it like EExtender or using certain moves for mobility. He says he doesnโ€™t like it and I could understand in GU or World but specifically in Sunbreak and wilds I donโ€™t get it, theyโ€™re the best theyโ€™ve ever been in both those games, heโ€™s just avoided it the whole game(weโ€™re close to the 300s). Idk how to convince him to come to the light. What should I do?
