@ there will undoubtedly be a meta combo for the most optimal damage but im a big fan of exploring other options for flashier gameplay. Ty for watching!
I was looking for some real tips on how to land that tricky Offset Attack, and not only did you just give me that in spades, I also learned you could apparently shoot your slinger with your weapon out this whole time lmao. I love these sort of vids too, it's so hard to find MH personalities that look for the value in every attack and action. More than any other vid in the past few weeks, this one has gotta be the one that makes me even more excited to finally play the full game!
@@josephbouteille7868 The vid does a good job explaining it, you could just watch it lol. But as I understand, the stance your hunter takes at the end of Unbridled/Full Release slash (with the axe on the ground, behind the hunter) can lead to a variety of follow-ups, but specifically the Offset Rising slash has less of an initial delay when performed during that stance, which would make timing it against a monster's attack for an offset easier.
Despite already playing switch axe and being familiar with the moveset, I found watching the whole thing still worth it; You've highlighted many tricks that I would never have thought of in a concise manner: especially the overhead slash repostion, and morph in spiral slash. Keep up the great work. Imma watch your channel with great interest up to and after launch.
Really appreciate it! Though I will have to disappoint as I only have the motivation to make a guide like this if there are hidden mechanics that other ppl havent covered. But always stay tuned for surprises like this when a Eurika moment hit!
@@imaGiraffeMH understandable, I will be here when your genius strikes again. It's good to see you flourishing after you cooked on the gamescom stage. Unrelated, but I really enjoyed the clip at the end timestamping and showing the techniques in action. It makes it much easier to visualize the flow and actually apply the knowledge.
Your explanation of how to set up instant offsets leading into the montage at 14:08 was one of the hypest moments I've seen in a guide whoa! Also I learned so much from this, tysm for putting this together with everything you've learned from the beta. I feel like the way you explained each tool Wilds SA's moveset gives you and how to connect them is going to help so much with learning the flow of the weapon.
@@Euclideia i initially had voice overs during that part but it felt weird cuz theres a lot of downtime between explanations. I was just going to let it play out but the Jungle Theme fit the BPM of SWAXE perfectly so i ended up spicing it up. Thank you im glad you enjoyed it!!
that offset delay tech is so cool! the little showcase of it at 14:07 while the music kicked in really makes me want to learn the weapon when the game comes out. i kinda hope capcom doesnt give switch axe a way to delay it the same way the other weapons can, cause i feel like little wrinkles like this in the design of weapons is what really allows for swag moments.
@@an0bserver2000 i honestly cant wait to try these all the new monsters in Wilds! Also i was talking to some other swaxe mains and they brought up a good point. This will not be the only way to do your offset. AXE Forward poke and side slash can also link into a reliable offset setup. There are a lot of combo routes and im only scratching the tip of the iceberg
This guide will be key yo playing swax at a higher level. it incorporates all of the core elements of the weapon to enable a truely blended and engaging game loop. well done
@@Beastleo481 appreciate it! I spent a lot of time to structure the guide so the information has a logical and easy to follow flow. Glad it paid off at the end
Thats the best wilds switchaxe video i seen so far, great job EDIT:Just noticed that you are the guy that made the GS guide for iceborn, it was the video that made me learn and enjoy the weapon (before I became a SwitchAxe obssesed) thanks.
This is honestly the best MH weapon guide I've ever watched, I honestly didn't expect myself to but I ended up watching your whole video! I was really looking forward to maining SA in wilds but after it's lackluster damage in the beta it kinda threw me off for abit. But after watching your video I'm inspired to give it another go :) I have to say my favorite parts of your video have to be: 1. Jumping reload wtf 2. Morphing directly into fwd overhead slash(???) 3. Offset delay after unbridled and fade slash is crazy, I can't wait to try it 4. Side hopping for back to back sword counters Great work dude can't wait to watch more of your videos :)
@@nicholaslim878 the good news is dmg is always really easy to tweak! Im sure Capcom heard our feedback and hopefully SA will get a decent buff for the next beta
@@rockon935 Most of the movement tech from that video still applies! But ill have to spend some time with GS to see if theres anything new worth sharing
i’ve played swaxe in every game, and wilds is easily my favorite! however, it took time to “unlock” all the tools they give you. i hope this guide helps many people who are struggling to parse the new switch axe into the demon hunter it is!
This video is incredible. Thank you for the time and effort you put in. I always wondered why I would use unbridled instead of just full release but it makes so much sense to set up the offset.
Fantastic guide, learnt a lot despite being very familiar with Switch Axe. Also I can't believe you're the person that played Hunting Horn at Gamescom. Your gameplay was a breath of fresh air during that Hunting Horn drought and KPlaysHere's analysis on it put any questions I had to rest about it. Thanks for everything you've done :)
Literally stars aligned for me to get up on that stage. I was so happy that i was able to showcase everything that I learned about HH in those 3 days at GC!
Ur the absolute Switch Axe goat, I still remember how you revolutionized how I play switch axe with that guide vs deviljho. And this is pretty much gonna shape my wilds playstyle.
i gotta say ive watched other switch axe guides for world and never remember them saying anything about the ledge hop quick load thing, only that the grounded reload animation is slow and you dont want to do that. its not a game breaking changer but wow, to think there was still something to learn. certainly couldve done it a few times had i known. This was also probably the best switch axe video ive seen, most talked about weapon moves and thats about it but you did that and broke down a perspective of different playstyles that cohesively work together to paint the full picture of the new changes of the weapons for hunters new and old. Most would probably (myself included) would have just done the necessary amount to get amped and unbridled rage and repeat.
@@B52BoomStick ruclips.net/video/sytHraOzHDc/видео.html&si=4nRQqkPnyqgJynWH Ive been a huge advocator for jump reload ever since World came out its such an incredible tech!

Excellent video! Learned alot for a weapon i want to master. Funny enough, your greatsword slinger showcase in iceborne is the reason GS is my most used weapon.

I love that you included a general "flow" to the weapon! It makes some of the design changes make a bit more sense. I still wouldn't mind some higher MVs on Sword combo attacks + either better benefit to the sword counter (faster FRS on successful counter or maybe damage boost for successful SA counters, even if it required an armor skill tax) or decreased damage taken for successful sword/offset counters, though.
@@jaydubyapush im really hoping the fact that we’re getting so much chip damage is because we’re using low rank trash armor against Rey Dau, a mid tier monster in story.

I agree with the faster FRS. GL has a faster Wyvern fire upon perfect guarding and i wish SA has something similar
@@jaydubyapush I just wish we wont have to invest in additional defensive skills just to make the offset/counter work. Swaxe has enough armor skills to worry about already
@@imaGiraffeMHagreed. It makes me wonder how useful/necessary Focus will now be with the axe changes. May just be a comfy skill but we’ll see once we get a chance to play the full game
@@jaydubyapush im gonna take a wild guess and say that it wont be necessary because I think Axe mode is really good in this game. Lowkey want to make a pt.2 just to focus on axe mode.

What a fantastic guide, always wanted to get started with the SA but felt like I was missing something and nothing wasn't really morphin between each other. Do you have any recommendation on step by step "exercise" to get to SA ? Like trying to manage energie then counter then full gambit then... idk ?
Its not the best quaity but i had a guide for MHW on SA monility a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/sytHraOzHDc/видео.htmlsi=itAW0zgEHiaTeqRx This guide focused on sword mode basics for MHW and most of the stuff still applies, as MHwilds swaxe has identical sword mode movesets.

Get used to Axe: forward overhead, morph sweep, fade slash Sword: triangle&circle combos, full release I think these r the core movesets
@@lace4615 id say its still good to use it before monsters change zones. Latch on as hes running away. Also since we're not speedrunning it wouldnt be that big of a dps loss, its just that ZSD is very energy hungry so you just cant spam it like it was in Iceborne by using clutch claw
I decided maining SA and GL in Wilds since they're the only 2 weapon left not mastered in World. Banning LS since Fatalis and Wilds LS is too oP, gonna leave them to the beginners as braindead weapon now

@@lace4615 id say its still good to use it before monsters change zones. Latch on as hes running away. Also since we're not speedrunning it wouldnt be that big of a dps loss, its just that ZSD is very energy hungry so you just cant spam it like it was in Iceborne by using clutch claw
I decided maining SA and GL in Wilds since they're the only 2 weapon left not mastered in World. Banning LS since Fatalis and Wilds LS is too oP, gonna leave them to the beginners as braindead weapon now
Please do greatsword bro 🙏
@@SazzleFTW im honestly thinking about it.. the offset looks like it has some labbing potential
@imaGiraffeMH this made me smile, I’m looking forward to it 👍👍👍😁
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is a real nice weapon guide, but not really going to gain a whole lot of attention since the Open Beta Test is closed.
@@RuneSeoui lets hope it gets a second wind if there will be another beta test. Then im gonna need yall to help spread the word🙏🙏
So this isn't your own gameplay from the beta but from the crack right?
@@bicarbonateofsoda117 8:04 i was still recording footage 10 minutes before the beta ended. If i have access to the cracked version i wouldve fleshed out 9:10. This deserves its own section a lot of untapped potential here. Also go look at my community tab. I had all of my footage ready 2 weeks ago already. This whole thing just took 2 weeks to edit and script rewritten multiple times
Every monhun idiots call recovery frames a endlag lmao learn the difference cave troll
@@Critzone youre right i do need some recovery frames for the irreversible brain damage you caused from thinking that cave troll is somehow an "aha gotcha" insult
