Important to note that over the course of the hunt you will probably deal more damage with weapon attacks than phial explosions, so going with affinity is not as much of a trade off as you would think.
Great video and info! Only thing that irked me was your opinions on the designs of the weapons and to play a different weapon or to wait on building it. I play charge blade for the gameplay, so I don’t need to be told to play another weapon or wait for a monster that will be out 5 months from now. Not to mention i would end up changing my armor skills based on the weapon I choose. Also, the looks of it is subjective from person to person…. I personally like the legiana design since it looks like a classic sword and shield among the wildly designed weapons. In the end, it’s a great video with all the right info, so thank you for that
The jagras CB lets you get both a massive elemental damage boost from ele 5 and stun from the impact phial, it's not trash. it's just good for a different situation, while I wouldn't want it for tobi, where the tail is the weak spot, for kulu it forces him to drop the rock both from the head break and later from the stun!
I think a good rule to follow is that weapons that have base affinity usually are not worth crafting in MHNow. All the barioth weapons also suck compared to Legiana and the kulu weapons are outclassed by other raw weapons like diablos. Having a higher base damage is almost always better even on crit builds because it scales better off of higher base. This could change when decorations come out and you can start fitting crit boost onto your build, but I doubt it.
Don't get mistaken. Status effects are different here in MHN than in main games. Even great sword users knows that especially those who uses Radobaan sleep GS. Dealing enough status damage to a monster even though you're attacks are slow, can easily trigger the said effect.
But you have to consider that not all attacks deal status. Slow attacks would mean less build up. Even if you manage to paralyze the monster using the charge blade, your SAEDs would have lesser damage as well due to the low raw of status weapons.
@@PauwerPlays when it comes to charge blade, I can't argue with that. My point is only with status effects. I know that the chances are slim if attack speed is slow but if you managed to deal a certain amount of status damage for example when you use true charge slash, then the status effect will be triggered because you broke the threshold with just one blow.
@shindenxxxx yes sleep status would be better as it provides more damage as well. The lower raw really hurts status weapons and they are better as support weapons imo.
I dumped all my Jyura parts into a g7.4 CB the second it came out... I don't regret it. It honestly does it's job against 8 star monsters which is all that matters to me.
@@PauwerPlays That's definitely a smart decision! I was expecting Niantic to take much longer to release him 😅. Which coral pukei weapon are you looking to make?
Yeah I told my neighbor this same thing lol like week ago. He's been loving that Thanos c.b . He's using breaker 3 and he's been sawing the parts off with the Saed. Also soo true about the weapons with affinty having low raw. The ONLY WAY TO USE EM is with elemental builds or crit boosting builds. Then they shine but still... not as much as raw
I actually love the cleaver-type sword from Legiana and Jyuratodus! I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved that design. When Kamina encounters Viral for the first time in Gurren Lagann, I absolutely loved the sword Viral used lol
Too late 😂, I don't have plans to use the CB going past 6-7 star monsters but I already crafted the Girros Charge Blade, the target monster mostly is helpless for 2 to 3 times, 1. from breaking a part, 2. from getting stunned, 3. for getting knocked out. (rarely happens 😂)
Thanks for the videos on the game it's making things easier as I just started playing just before last season ended just wondering if there's a community that u can use to team up with other players cause it's a little boring playing solo
I’d be curious to see a comparison between a paralysis sns and a paralysis cb. Obviously the sns can build up paralysis faster but with impact phials, cb can stun the monster too. I wonder if that case would make the cb better at CC’ing monsters
I would suggest elemental longswords with high total damage like the zinogre longsword or the deviljho sword. But it totally depends on your playstyle :)
Nowi use light bow guns, other types of weapons i'll try endgame. I want to build a odogaron light bow gun now. Two things lead me to LBG, it's easier to fight while ami walk and my current smartphone get a bit sluggish while fighting huge monsters from close range. I live in a place of very warm weather. Does part breake works wigh light bow guns?
The odo LBG is pretty, but it's got pretty bad ammo, with just pierce and normal, with how LBG is forced to waste pieces on recoil and relaod, elemental builds are just more consistent damage.
@@itaykerensm1629 i just need a consistent one to build the others, i don't go far while hunting. I built a 7 5/5 bone one but it's the weaker of all. And those two and the stick ammo até good ammo, dispersed ammo is the worst. I have some grade 6 and some 5 sns already since i will chance phones and can hunt small monsters with those already.
You can switch gyro on and off by pressing the button on the upper right corner during hunts. Then once gyro is turned off you can zoom out by pinching two fingers. Hope this helps :)
@@PauwerPlays Yeah it was fine until I hit 8* monsties. Then it was just frustrating with my elemental boost build. Jyura CB maybe isn't that good looking but the elemental phials are DEFINITELY the way to go. I'm still upgrading it (currently still at G5) but it's INSANE how much can it do at that grade.
@@PauwerPlays yesh, I just killed a 7* Girros with my G4 5.5 Jyura CB with Water lvl5 and attack boost lvl4. And I even wasn't in a hurry. It's bonkers.
there is an amazing charge blade in the main series: the akantor CB has insanely high raw and 40% affinity with impact phial. Only downside is it has shit sharpness... like really shit it has blue at most in G rank. sharpness isn't a thing in MHnow so who knows?
The power of the charge blade comes from the phials and they are not affected by affinity. Latent power doesnt offer much benefits for the charge blade and it activates late in the hunt. Not a fan of latent power
@@PauwerPlays thank you for answering my question I am trying to decide on which charge blade I should go with and I think I am going to go with the usurpers lighting because it gives me dodges and besides my Armor is very tanky with it all having divine bless and almost all my armor has it making me the 50% less damage from any attack let me know what you think of my build if there any flaws or just anything
It's sad but true, Odogaron has a bad CB in this game. In world his charge blade was ok-ish, and got better in iceborne thanks to savage axe slash giving it the buzzsaw mode to take advantage of the afinity. But that move isn't here, so the affinity won't help bro much.
Its very technical and has a lot of tap and hold combinations. It's hard to learn but once you master it, the charge blade is one of the most satisfying weapons to use
MUCH easier to learn in this game compared to main series games. Mastering the weapon feels like it will still take a lot of commitment but you can learn the flow of the weapon fairly easily in my opinion.
Important to note that over the course of the hunt you will probably deal more damage with weapon attacks than phial explosions, so going with affinity is not as much of a trade off as you would think.
It be better if we had savage axe in mhnow haha
Many content creators are forgetting this. Sometimes if you can only fit a crit skill it's not the end of the world.
Building up those Rathalos weapons is such a grind -- those R2 Rath Tails need to be at Costco for the amount we need!
Rath and lagi are pretty rare here. Especially lagi
Yeaaah that's why i commit to the rule one element one monster haha
😂
5:03 Jyuratodus is pretty hard to farm in my town
Same! I think everyone has that issue haha
thailand too...

Too much of an investment just for kulu haha
@PauwerPlays eh, I don't have a use for jagras mats anyway, it's just the zenny and r3 mats that are the issue.
@@itaykerensm1629 yep better save the zeenys haha
i already made hates undying flame before i knew this stuff lol
Oh no don't invest any more materials on it haha
Basic rath is the goal, i totally agree, if the ice ones looked better i would go for them instead :(
@@oatsgd as a fashion hunter nyself. It hurts to see uninspired weapon designs haha

Wow! :O
@@PauwerPlays That's definitely a smart decision! I was expecting Niantic to take much longer to release him 😅. Which coral pukei weapon are you looking to make?
@@OfficialRauizu im deciding between sns or lance haha!
Yeah I told my neighbor this same thing lol like week ago. He's been loving that Thanos c.b .
He's using breaker 3 and he's been sawing the parts off with the Saed.
Also soo true about the weapons with affinty having low raw. The ONLY WAY TO USE EM is with elemental builds or crit boosting builds. Then they shine but still... not as much as raw
Yeah we need decos for affinity builds to be viable in this game haha
I actually love the cleaver-type sword from Legiana and Jyuratodus! I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved that design. When Kamina encounters Viral for the first time in Gurren Lagann, I absolutely loved the sword Viral used lol
excelent video, i have some spare materials from black diablos, might start crafting this one as well
Thanks man! Glad you found the video helpful :)
Most of my monsters die with weapon swings than the phial charges, maybe im just bad but hey a kill is a kill and affinity has helped me a lot
Phial explosions deals more damage than weapon swings so overall the phial explosions should ideally dealt most of the damage
I was gonna say something similar. also, throughout the fight you are going to be doing a lot more hits that can crit.
Man I'm starting to love this channel
Thanks man! Appreciate all the support :)
I hope they made discharge inflict status effect, it would be so good.
Yeah it would make status cb viable
Useful information. Keep it up Bros.
Thanks for the support bro!
Thank goodness for this video I wanted to make the best charge blades.
Glad you found the video helpful
nah, you just break some of my friends heart when they already followed Odogaron CB or aliment status effect CB line, lmao
It depends on their playstyle haha! But if they want to deal max damage they gotta go for high raw charge blades haha
I'm already at an almost tier 5 Odo CB...Time to farm the pickle!
Good luck with pickle!
im G6, dont need to play this game hardcore, just build what u want
Too late 😂, I don't have plans to use the CB going past 6-7 star monsters but I already crafted the Girros Charge Blade, the target monster mostly is helpless for 2 to 3 times, 1. from breaking a part, 2. from getting stunned, 3. for getting knocked out. (rarely happens 😂)
Yeah status cbs are very inconsistent haha
Same, I already crafted my Girros CB too.
I dont really watch your vid, but i got your point just by reading the comments section, 😂
Thank you for clicking on the video!

Glad you found the videos helpful! You can join facebook communities or discord groups and try and find a squad there :)
the hunters note guy has a discord like that
I chose the jagras charge blades cause they are easy to farm at my place. :3
Yep when youre just starting, the jagras weapons are perfect and easy to upgrade
hopefully the coral pukei pukei offers a better water weapon option overall for all weapons
Build recommendations for equipment armor sets please
Currently Testing quick work! Will upload sets once i know the best ones to recommend! :)
@@PauwerPlays i just saw that Focus 5 helps speed up getting the Phials to red. Ie. Takes less hit to get phials to res. Can you confirm?
@@ascalone9806 upon testing. It still takes 2 charge attacks to get to red even with focus skills
@@PauwerPlays that’s what I thought too. Focus build are not that good on CB. I would get Slugger to KO and give that huge window to land AED
Thk you man, can you give me an info? How can I Active latent force on Devil charge Blade ?
I’d be curious to see a comparison between a paralysis sns and a paralysis cb. Obviously the sns can build up paralysis faster but with impact phials, cb can stun the monster too. I wonder if that case would make the cb better at CC’ing monsters
The sns can also KO monster using shield bash. Safer and more reliable than AEDs. For sns is status king in mhnow haha
What about longsword. Which long sword is best?
I would suggest elemental longswords with high total damage like the zinogre longsword or the deviljho sword. But it totally depends on your playstyle :)

Can dragon CB kill other monsters? I don't feel like making another Black Diablos weapon (I have a Black bow)
A lot of monsters are weak to dragon so its gonna be worth farming deviljho
At minute 1:32 you show gameplay. How can I get the same Cam Setup? I didn't find anything to Chance the Cam. Can you help me pls?
You can switch gyro on and off by pressing the button on the upper right corner during hunts. Then once gyro is turned off you can zoom out by pinching two fingers. Hope this helps :)
@@PauwerPlays thx, zoom Out was the Secret. 😁✌🏼
I should have seen this video before investing so many mats on my Jagras CB 😖
It's a great beginner cb. You will just have to replace it later on with a better one in the endgame
@@PauwerPlays Yeah it was fine until I hit 8* monsties. Then it was just frustrating with my elemental boost build. Jyura CB maybe isn't that good looking but the elemental phials are DEFINITELY the way to go. I'm still upgrading it (currently still at G5) but it's INSANE how much can it do at that grade.

I have a question is the coral puki head good for charge blade?
Sorry i dont quite understand the question haha. Coral pukei doesn’t have a charge blade sadly
@@PauwerPlays no i mean the coral puki helm gives affinity on weak points is that usefull on charge blade? as affinity on weapons is not
@felineman7822 ohhh no not too much. Charge blade's power mostly comes from phials and affinity only affects the weapon strikes of the charge bkade
@@PauwerPlays thanks then im not gonna invest getting the coral puki helmet to 8 haha
The coral helm is good for dual blades, ls and sns. For charge blade, the best lock on option is the rathian vambraces
Wait but doesn’t the oppressors charge blade have laten power increasing its affinity but isn’t that not what we want 🤔

You can craft elemental cb instead :)

Bring back the witcher charge blade haha
armor builds for deviljo build please ;D

I'm making hates undying flame anywya cause it looks cool
is it just me or is there a language difference for Odogaron. i pronounce it Odo-Garon. Odo=fearful/Garon=wolf like beast.

@Dooskta123 those skills can translate well to the charge blades with impact phials :)
Hell ya
😅 me who mains girros charge blade getting para in most fights.
legiana charge blade is utterly ugly. It's like they spent all the budget on other legiana weapons and had to reuse the design of proto CB
