A tip is to not overly rely on the sword slash->shield bash->SAED transition because it caused you to overshoot alot of your phials. If you insist on using this transition then you might have to work in the sliding sword swipe (o+directional after most CB slashes while in sword mode). You also missed out on the axe smash of the SAED hitting a good damage zone--aside from the phials, that is the hardest hitting portion of the SAED so always try to land it on a good hit zone. Don't be afraid to spend your phials on axe mode discharge. For instance when you had Luna down, you could have gone for the classic: tri+o->o->o(SAED) which is not only better damage then just going straight into SAED but also insures that you maximized phial expenditure (as I said earlier alot of phials missed their mark). Regular AED also has its uses as its not only quicker to activate but recovers faster so you can get away with guard point->AED far more then guard point->SAED. For instance everytime Luna leapt at you, you could have guard pointed->AED with the intention of hitting her tail or head depending on how she lands. I don't know the numbers off my head but it seems AED has more hit stun value then even SAED so it only takes a few well placed hits to the head to get ko status.
You probably know about this already but quick tips for using charge blade: 1.) Charge your sword if you get a chance. It boosts your overall damage and prevents your attacks from being deflected. You can do this by pressing triangle after you charge you phials. 2.) If you are in a bad position to release your SAED or when the monster moves while SAED, you can cancel it by pressing L2 during the sword and shield combining animation (think of it as the third triangle+circle combo). This saves your phials and enables Savage Axe mode. 3.) Gaurd pointing also allows you to charge you phials, SAED, Savage axe immediatley when successful. 4.) You can dash after attacks by pressing CIRCLE (except when using SAED or in savage axe mode) This is really good to relocate yourself or catch up to mobile monsters. That's all I could think off. Happy Hunting!
@@Gangster0326 it is when your shield is in front of you on certain actions which leads to blocking the attack with minimal push back and stamina loss. For example when you switch to axe mode using R2+triangle. I would recommend watching a guide on how it fully works :)
Glad to see you’re using the weapon of kings 😁 just a tip: elemental charge blades are much more effective against most monsters weak to your weapons element. Lunastra goes down much easier when you use an ice power element phial charge blade. Spamming SAED works wonders and savage axe is pretty great too. Oh, and guard pointing is important as well
good hunt man keep on mastering the charge blade watch out for spacing and such it is very important to have your spacing on point, getting all the phials to hit or at least most is very important and even while charging it's important to keep hitting weakpoints like the head, because really around half of the damage also comes from the sword slashes
Still got some training to do. You need to go into savage axe mode more and using you're normal attack then using O to dodge around to position yourself better.
He went into artillery secret and no master's touch so savage axe is losing a lot of its benefits so during unga bunga saed spam is better playstyle with the build he is using. If he went to artillery 3+master's touch then savage axe is going to work smoother. Based on the numbers of his phial damage, it doesn't look like he ate for felyne bombardier which is a decent damage boost to the impact SAED damage.
Yesterday I joined a Luna investigation I literally land right next to this bih she uses her nova kills me and the entire crew... mission was about 25 seconds oh and I forgot fire restist
Try to aim more for AED to the head for more stun potential. SAED should be used for when she is tripped or wallbanged, and use Savage Axe Mode more often as well.
Good run, bro. I normally hate watching youtubers play games, but I love your channel. You should take a crack at the bow. It's the embodiment of "smooth". Get dat full safi set with kjarr bows (all are godly except water), evade 5, max element, wex3, spread deco1, some resentment if you can fit it, (safi comes with crit boost 3), latent power 1(safi armor activates it automatically), cons 2, and surge if you can fit it, and you will be the champion of smooth.
You need to eat for felyne bombardier if you're using impact cb. I would suggest maxing offensive guard and using razorsharp charm to get more hits of purple and white sharpness, attack boost 7 will increase your phial damage by 2 or 3 and IMO its not worth that over twice the amount of purple and white sharpness. Also, try to use the AED more, it has a lot of stunning power and can knock back monsters easily. You don't need guard 3, with guard 1 and your shield charged you have guard 3 which is enough to guard point all the attacks.
AYYYE!!! DG playing with the Charge Blade , this my Fav weapon in the MH series bro ✌🏽🔥 You killed it G.... hope y'all doing well , and my Man kelly doing well aswell 👌🏼
Played CB a little bit not really a fan of CB since MH4U, but I have a couple of friends that have the CB pretty much mastered and the only problem I can see with you is, you are way to close to the monster when u use your SAED. From what ive been told and watching when hunting, you want to make sure you distance yourself so the SAED is what hits the monster not necessarily the ax end. That and you need more practice with guard points. Its amazing to watch a person thats mastered guard points just dance around the monster pretty much blocking everything and countering with attacks.
If you don't have Kjarr Strongarm Ice use a maxed out Beotodus Charge Blade with full Safi armor. You get wayyy better damage numbers than impact phials. Elemental SAED outclasses impact SAED. But also when using impact phial charge blade eat for the felyne bombardier skill. It increases your phial damage
Like number 420 lol ayye but broski it's wild I just started getting into this weapon as I'm a heavy switch axe user and long sword user but this is helping getting into the groove I just need some help getting my temper tiers up as my MR/HR is low but don't sleep on me for too long lol
With charge blade it's not just the Saed, 30% of damage in an hunt is make with the hits that u do with the sword for charging the saed, so if u hit the head or tenderize the leg u will Save a lot of time for the hunt 💪 and yes kjar weapon with safi armor every hits are like 200-250
I have one question I just unlocked raging what around what MR do you think I should fight him cause I keep getting my ass beat (love the vid by the way:)
All you need is guard 3, any more than that is over the gate Cause you get 1 guard from charging the shield and that's more than enough for most encounters
I dont know why but tempered lunastra really wasnt that hard for me. I struggled a lot more with every other elder dragon. (especially tempered and AT namielle)
It's the first time he fought a very difficult monster with a weapon which is very new to him. Given the circumstances, not only is 14 mins not bad, it's very good. That comparison is as inane as shooting down the pride of a high school running champion because he'd be beaten by Usain Bolt.
One can only use the weapon bestowed upon by the gods once one has mastered all of the other thirteen weapons. Such is the requirement for using such a mighty weapon
there's a lot wrong with your build. if you're not gonna bother with anything other than SAED spam then you have no need for crit. you're already not doing a master's touch build so why not replace all that useless crit with peak performance, max out offensive guard and guard. way more useful skills than crit when you're focused on the playstyle that directly ignores crit. also you're forgetting to keep her enraged when you're running an agitator secret build.

Guard -> AED is my favorite combo. It's just such a satisfying counter

What’s guard pointing

I definitely recommend the Kjarr Strongarm Ice against Lunastra cuz everytime I saed closer to her legs or head I get a stagger or a trip
If only you could actually get it only done like 50 plus awakenings and yet to have one Kjaar charge blade

Switch Axe is sooo satisfying. Especially when you start hitting those max deeps on weakened parts. Pls use Swag Axe
He already used switch axe. Has like 60 uses
But it’s so hard to have this charge blade
That feeling when hitting those guard points 13:11 Clean
Why do I feel like guiding land Luna is extra crazy.
you're not wrong
Cuz it’s way harder than a quest one literally soloed a quest one and gl one shit on me like 8x
Yesterday I joined a Luna investigation I literally land right next to this bih she uses her nova kills me and the entire crew... mission was about 25 seconds oh and I forgot fire restist
Try to aim more for AED to the head for more stun potential. SAED should be used for when she is tripped or wallbanged, and use Savage Axe Mode more often as well.
He’s not using a savage axe build it be pointless to use it his sharpness would drain instantly

Do you have a guard up deco? If you're gonna use 1 point of guard, I'd recommend the guard up deco also.
awesome play DG. Hope you can play some Switch Axe!!
you need to use backslide more to position yourself for the SAED
Whew lad...just wait until you find out how busted Savage Axe mode is.
You need to eat for felyne bombardier if you're using impact cb. I would suggest maxing offensive guard and using razorsharp charm to get more hits of purple and white sharpness, attack boost 7 will increase your phial damage by 2 or 3 and IMO its not worth that over twice the amount of purple and white sharpness.

AYYYE!!! DG playing with the Charge Blade , this my Fav weapon in the MH series bro ✌🏽🔥 You killed it G.... hope y'all doing well , and my Man kelly doing well aswell 👌🏼
Love the charge blade, love the smooth family! Dg we should hunt together soon!
Hahahaha how the hell that tail swipe get you at the end
Love watching you try other weapons man 🤘
CB is still my personal fav even after I stopped playing. Keep it smooth DG👍
Played CB a little bit not really a fan of CB since MH4U, but I have a couple of friends that have the CB pretty much mastered and the only problem I can see with you is, you are way to close to the monster when u use your SAED.

That and you need more practice with guard points. Its amazing to watch a person thats mastered guard points just dance around the monster pretty much blocking everything and countering with attacks.
you should use more the slide attacks to reposition instead of just the side jumps and rolls
Where's that 3rd expert 4 gem you got? -__-
4:16 Charge blade in a nutshell
If you don't have Kjarr Strongarm Ice use a maxed out Beotodus Charge Blade with full Safi armor. You get wayyy better damage numbers than impact phials. Elemental SAED outclasses impact SAED. But also when using impact phial charge blade eat for the felyne bombardier skill. It increases your phial damage
You still got a long journey to go my friend 😂🤺
hold y or triangle after charging phials to boost the sword
Like number 420 lol ayye but broski it's wild I just started getting into this weapon as I'm a heavy switch axe user and long sword user but this is helping getting into the groove I just need some help getting my temper tiers up as my MR/HR is low but don't sleep on me for too long lol
Wut it do DG!!! Gud to see you back on RUclips bruh
Full Safi and Kjarr CB Ice...and Luna just melts 😎👍
You should think about trying to fit in a shield up jewel in your build. Useful for some situations
With charge blade it's not just the Saed, 30% of damage in an hunt is make with the hits that u do with the sword for charging the saed, so if u hit the head or tenderize the leg u will Save a lot of time for the hunt 💪 and yes kjar weapon with safi armor every hits are like 200-250
I have one question I just unlocked raging what around what MR do you think I should fight him cause I keep getting my ass beat (love the vid by the way:)
If your on PS I can help you
DG USE THE SWITCH AXE PLEASE
He already used switch axe to get through the high rank story. He has like 60 uses
Luna staggers and trips better from hitting the legs
Cool drink helps fighting with her right?
Remember boosting sword and pay attention to smol pushes just free guard points also aed lmao
You know there is a guard point when you sheath your charge blade with r2
Why did the make lunastra soo fucking hard to fight lmao
You do you have Guard 5, one from charged shield another from GP and 3 from skills.
Dear Gamer, try using savage axe mode. You can do more damage than SAED and the numbers are big. So try savage axe
Good video my brother but you still need to train with charge blade there is a lot of moves your missing
I eat Astra Jerkey instead of potion to heal red health damage with Queen Lunestra. Makes a big difference.
I Really hate it when the monster is already near death and gets you...😑
You gotta eat for bombardier to get more saed damage
All you need is guard 3, any more than that is over the gate
Cause you get 1 guard from charging the shield and that's more than enough for most encounters
You get 2 guard from charging the shield
And 2 guard from guard pointing, so all you really need is guard 1
Thanks for correcting me, also 3 for the casual player who misses half of his guard points
Where my Duracell charge blade users at
I identify with the fainting part of the video the most...
Clapping as always DG
play ice against lunastra, anything other than that is useless against her
Gotta boost that sword
I dont know why but tempered lunastra really wasnt that hard for me. I struggled a lot more with every other elder dragon. (especially tempered and AT namielle)
I hate Luna all together . But you’re killing it she’s so unfair especially tempered lol you got this brother ! Keep whoopin ass 🤙🏽
Your charge blade said is really good
See sound at 13:22🤣🤣
Looks solid next time charge your sword for more DPS
Hi Dg, u need phial bottle for her, crazy damage!!!!
U also need guard up for her, some of her moves are impossible to defend without this decoration and
One of the few weps she hates.
Also dg: 14 mins not bad not bad
Speedrunners: 5 mins ta wiki not bad not bad.
It's the first time he fought a very difficult monster with a weapon which is very new to him. Given the circumstances, not only is 14 mins not bad, it's very good. That comparison is as inane as shooting down the pride of a high school running champion because he'd be beaten by Usain Bolt.
get yourself the kjarr ice DG
You should try out longsword.
That’s what he use the most
Ah I see this is your first time seeing DG play monster hunter lol.
Behemoth he doesn’t know
Its better to go elemental if you want to play SEAD spam
When are you going start using the best weapon SNS
One can only use the weapon bestowed upon by the gods once one has mastered all of the other thirteen weapons. Such is the requirement for using such a mighty weapon
Who decided that - Escanor
Try practising AED as well dont focus on SAED 😂
Dear gamer sorry to break to ya lunastra is the easiest elder dragon, according to the internet and capcom
You need a good ice charge blade would of eaten Luna alive
Silky smooth 😏
Use savage axe
Attackboost is not really useful on CB... is a trap
🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Dear Gamer ?
3 words
Kjarr strongarm ice
Tempered Luna isnt that hard, I farm her for Augments.
there's a lot wrong with your build. if you're not gonna bother with anything other than SAED spam then you have no need for crit. you're already not doing a master's touch build so why not replace all that useless crit with peak performance, max out offensive guard and guard. way more useful skills than crit when you're focused on the playstyle that directly ignores crit. also you're forgetting to keep her enraged when you're running an agitator secret build.
Ketiduran gw nontonnya
Savage axe sucks against luna. Her hzv are trash. Use ice cb
Lol I cheese Lunastra. Kinsect only build. Freeze Gale II. Health regen 3. 1K+defense/ 56 fire resist with elemental resist L🤣
First
