Something worth mentioning is the huge amount i-frames you get when you cancel an elemental discharge. The entire cancel animation has s and can be used to dodge attacks, either intentionally, or as an emergency maneuver after completing a PD > double slash > heavenward > ED combo Also non-perfect dodge s in sword mode are nearly non-existent and your hop is tiny, so you can either time your perfect dodges or use the ED cancel i-frames to avoid getting hit
I love SAxe I main GS but when SAxe was introduced it was instant love. coolest weapon imo. The way you stab and cling on the monster is just unhinged I love it.
You can also do a normal morph slash after any attack, hold and swipe up. (Works for sword > axe also) I find it a bit inconsistent, but I'm still not used to the special button for just morphing Also the forward poke (forward + circle on ds4 controller) exists. It's done automatically when you can reach with that forward step, but only as first attack in the basic combo (can only replace the up-swing)
Shawnzy, i watched your video since the charge blade guide, mhnow is my first monster hunter game, and now I’m a charge blade main lol. Nice video anyway, all the best in your projects, don’t stressed out. ✌️
@ i did upload my charge blade videos since i started playing till now (thanks to you). I remember your video saying “ release the michael bay effect “ 😆
CB main also in MHN but I'm pro bubbly set and nothing will change my mind. I love to slide around😂 GS main MH4U long time ago Edit: I'm running Resus 4 with Crit Element 2. Don't worry i do dmg in EDI😂
Oh don't you worry. I WILL STICK AROUND. I mean who else do we have? Pauwer? He's just like you, one video per month. King? Ahahahahahahahahahaha, NO THANKS! Good luck with your project and happy holidays to you and your family, Mr. Shawn!
Hey Shawnzy I love your videos, thx so much for this content, but something I wanted to know is Switch Axe's crit hits, what combo/hits does or not crit. 🥺 Like Charge blade can't crit on phial strikes Just to know if worth to use a crit build (sorry for my bad English)
@Darokuma most hits crit. The only thing I'm not sure is the final explosion from special attack and the mini phial explosions after every sword hit. I think it's worth making a crit build unless you're going for crit ferocity
Any info on the phials math? Like is the power/elem phials boosting total raw/element or just the base? Example: jura axe g3.1 (just forged) has 75 water +500 from water 5 Do i get 575 x phial % Or 75 x phial % + 500 Also what are the power and element phial % boots?
@@shawnzyplaysoh, i somehow missed the 15% for power phial. And i listened to the video initially, so only now i see where you say element phial boosts element attack, there is the word base in brackets Also you didnt say/write if power phial affects attack boost or it's only weapon's base raw
@reynellrodriguez5307 hmm what are you lacking in your sets now? Perhaps build to fix a problem that you have. E.g perhaps you have black diablos bow and small monsters (kulu, tzitzi) are an issue then build with those monsters in mind. If you just wanna mess around the weapon, then go for status weapons since you can use them for all monsters.
@reynellrodriguez5307 tigrex would work well with the new skills, morph boost and critical ferocity, if you can squeeze them in! Volvidon is generally a low tier monster so I don't expect it to be any good in terms of dmg. However, it should work well if you build towards a para support build
@@shawnzyplays All my other sets are geared toward the best damage. My princess bow is kinda in between. So a para build may be a good additon. The Tigrex mechanic is intriguing though.
thanks for the vid :D i have small question about the charging animation when you hold before releasing ED. Is there any point of holding until you flash?
@tunabel3002 I have done some test but it seems like it doesn't affect much. Charged or not, the dmg for the first 3 hits(during stab) is the same. I wonder if it affects the other dmg(maybe the explosion at the end is different?) I'll need to test it more. I'm sorry I don't have the answer to your question today :(
@@shawnzyplays I tried it out on small monsters! It charges up to two times. No change in damage, but it increases the distance covered of the initial thrust! It's good to use if you were holding in sword mode (to release an ED or if you're waiting to PD) and the monster suddenly is out of range.

@ZenifirTheDarkElf nice! I'll go check them out.
Let me enjoy my "proud dad" moment through your videos

Thanks so much for the video man! Was my main when I got into the series and going to start working on some builds for them here soon
Much love shawnzy
i was waiting for this. thanks
instructions unclear my hunter gained sentience and stopped the wild swing himself.
@@kubiishere throw some salt on your phone and pray
I miss Hey It’s Me Shawnzy speech in mario voice. Nice vid as always.
Switch axe will be my main weapon from now. It’s very fun and rewarding for people that plays SA since PSP era
Oh don't you worry. I WILL STICK AROUND. I mean who else do we have? Pauwer? He's just like you, one video per month. King? Ahahahahahahahahahaha, NO THANKS! Good luck with your project and happy holidays to you and your family, Mr. Shawn!
@freddyhutapea7246 thanks for the support Freddy!!
fun looking weapon, not vibing with me, still on that HBG hah
Im making the tigrex swagx and witv lvl 3 of critical ferocity the "red crit" does massives damages 💯
@syberais sick. I'm gonna go for tigrex hbg ! If it sucks then maybe I'll try tig swaxe

Like is the power/elem phials boosting total raw/element or just the base?
Example: jura axe g3.1 (just forged) has 75 water +500 from water 5
Do i get 575 x phial %
Or 75 x phial % + 500
Also what are the power and element phial % boots?
@captainjimo yoyo its in the video haha. The phial bonus only affects the base value.
@@shawnzyplaysoh, i somehow missed the 15% for power phial. And i listened to the video initially, so only now i see where you say element phial boosts element attack, there is the word base in brackets

Thanks shawnzy.
ive been using it to just do charged attacks stab stab stab
Regardless of element/phials what is the best switchaxe to go for?

@shawnzyplays I have 2 builds for each elements. I just want the best for this weapon before I dive in. Would a tigrex build be fun? Or a Volvidon?
@reynellrodriguez5307 tigrex would work well with the new skills, morph boost and critical ferocity, if you can squeeze them in!

@reynellrodriguez5307 excellent choice. Use that in dimensional links!
Didn’t include Power Prolonger?
@@Jccl937 my bad. Missed that out. :/
In sword mode, the damage doesn't seem that insane to warrant the awful dodge/mobility you get.
@CexCells I'm using a general blast weapon and I think it's at g7 only. A proper elemental weapon should yield better result
Nice guide but what's up with the female voice? Is female Shawnzy returning?😂
@@sunnyCUD no lol! I just used whichever don't sound too annoying.
Far too complicated. I’ll stay with my Black Diablos Bow.
