@ 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.
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
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!!
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.
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 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
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.
@@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
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!
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.
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.
the full release slash looks so sick! SA mains are eating good lol. though, not gaining some sword gauge from switching back into axe mode messed my flow so badly in the beta.
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. This might be a good starting point! The rest i would recommend watching speedruns or some intro guides on youtube. Good luck! If youre just starting out i wont recommend learning offset first. Get used to Axe: forward overhead, morph sweep, fade slash Sword: triangle&circle combos, full release I think these r the core movesets
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
Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

I will make you main Gunlance next
Aesome guide. I got totally addicted to offsets in the beta but never thought to stay in the endlag of the release slashes to get the faster offset
this was a great video. I think its going to help me get out of the rut that the OP rise playstyle of switch axe has put me in.
Holy incredible guide, swag stepping into my heart with pure knowledge
id much rather you swag step yourself to the gym right now i smell you slacking
Fantastic video, time for me to finally pick up swaxe this gen because damn do you make it look smooth (and fantastically explain how to do so too)
This means a lot!! Ive re-record this guide twice because I wasnt happy with the structure of it so im glad that the time spent was paid off!
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.
@@Very_Unwise time to make SA your most used weapon😔✊ switchaxe popularity will rise once we have armor skills

the full release slash looks so sick! SA mains are eating good lol.
though, not gaining some sword gauge from switching back into axe mode messed my flow so badly in the beta.
wow, i thought i had it all figured out..... subbed.
This video is gold! Great job. Also i'm for team Miyabi too
@@Benjiboi i blew most of my pulls for yanagi already..might have to bring out the plastic card to get her M1W1
Great video, made switch axe look really fun!
Love your guides! Do you plan on making guides for other weapons as well?
Unfortunately not at the moment! Unless I found a hidden mechanic that hasnt been covered by other youtubers.

What i dont get why we dont have a double Slash morph anymore after that Overhead slash in axe mode as in rise felt kinda nice to have
@@Gin___toxic i miss the sword-> axe double axe morph swing too that move felt so natural to use
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
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.
