  • If MHWorld was your 1st MH and you're interested in MHGU, let me give you an idea of how your main weapon might change or feel the same. Hopefully this information helps and I hope you enjoy! :)

    The biggest change World had for Swax was that it lets you switch between ax and sword mode after any attack while in older games, you could only do so after specific attacks.

      @cameronstandifird8210 Před 2 lety +1

      You also get the ability to switch after roles and such, the fastest way to get out of sword mode for me, was always roll forward right trigger. Also, while in putting a switch you can hold backwards, and you switch while moving backwards. I play alchemy style switch acts so it plays completely different for me, but I'm pretty sure gu doesn't have the ability to switch and move forward as well.

    You did forget one of the most important aspects that separates Swaxe from World and GU.
    Whenever you switch from sword mode to axe mode in World, you regain some sword charge back. GU doesn't have this mechanic so you'll find yourself having to limit your combos even more in GU than what you did in World.
    Otherwise a nice informative video to help bridge the gap between the Old World and New World!

      @cameronstandifird8210 Před 2 lety +1

      On top of that, he was missing how world added the ability to switch between axe and sword in several new places, as well as several new switching moves. There's a lot new ways you can switch between the two in world.

    played lots of Switch Axe in MH3U , not so much after that because i wanted to try different stuff. But i just noticed recently, that in MHW, the "morph-back-to-Axe" move deals a ton of damage AND fills up your sword gauge quite a bit :O realy rewards you for switching modes during combos. Though im playing MHGU at the moment.

    Am I the only one who got tired of sword mode only SA in gen? I mean sure DPS and all but I find using and switching between both the modes more fun than spamming the up and down or the side swings.

    • @nullasenzanome9553
      @nullasenzanome9553 Před 6 lety +11

      Gen and GU are the best at giving many options to the player but making one of them way better than the others. Striker SA in Gen is ridicolously broken, and that can be said about basically any weapon with a certain style. World's SA is surely more balanced between sword and axe mode thanks to the morphing attacks. It may not be as powerful as Gen's, but is less boring for sure.

    • @leohawman5075
      @leohawman5075 Před 6 lety +5

      This is why I use tempest axe because, while it does buff up the axe, it also super buffs one particular move where after the uppercut one could follow up with a flurry of axe attacks that slowly drained your stamina. Now after a couple of slashes the attacks get ridiculously fast and a new finishing move is added on top. While it's very difficult to pull of in most cases, when a monster is toppled or is one of the large and slow ones is where this truly shines, especially while on dash juice.

    • @jordanwilliam3207
      @jordanwilliam3207 Před 5 lety +1

      At least the triple spinning attack for the Axe Mode, acutally hits three times since Generations, making it a lot more useful and less awkward than it was in 4U.

    @wurst1284 Před 6 lety +2

    Well you didn't meantion that those stamina swings are the most dps heavy move in the game and that the new hunter art halves their stamina use and speeds them up on top of that so it is quite different to world where you'll only really do them to initiate the transform attack.

  • @Death_By_Orange
    @Death_By_Orange Před 3 lety +2

    People do not use the axe mode enough. It is really good, but people just keep on using the sword mode, because "cool energy sword." Axe has a lot more mobility than sword as well as some really powerful attacks. As a SWAXE veteran I can attest. Give axe a chance and cool it with the fucking sword spam (also adept + tempest axe is dope). Obviously I'm very late.

    Really, switch axe is so diverse, there is nothing particularly bad about it (outside of trans slash, though you could use it on the big elder bois for fat deeps). Gen is the first time the switch axe has been as high as it is on my usage lists.

    • @tomekl3476
      @tomekl3476 Před 6 lety

      Kosmos And it feel weak in world. I dont know why. When i used SA in Gen i was like wow this do some serious damage with simple attacks.
      But in World i feel like every other weapon is better in some way than switch axe. Its just normal in everything. In gen longsword and switchaxe were tied at what weapon is better weapon in terms of pure time to kill. But in world i get so good times with longsword because of it overpowered foresightslash that when you do it you are invincible and get free charge if you hit. With SA you need to do much more to get same damage with worse dodgeing options. Maybe im trash with SA. But i played with every weapon and in terms of damage i cant get that good as other weapons on switchaxe. Maybe LBG because of me useing it as an utility gun and only for specific bosses. LS, GS, CB, DB, LNC is what i play best with. In all of monster hunter. And i play good with SA in gen. Its only my opinion but SA needs a buff or rework. Same with Gunlance. Its good but not as good as other simplier weapons. These weapons just need buffs in my opinion. Happy Hunting!

  • @3HeartLimit
    @3HeartLimit Před 5 lety

    Hell in gu I started using brave style with tempest axe and mostly use axe mode more than sword. In Gen I did use demons riot and recharge in striker though. A good way to charge really fast in ultimate is to use the skill insight, striker style, and a hunters drink. That way you can still use the Gen version though you'll need the skill.

    The one downside, I think, between 4th gen and 5th gen Switch Axe is that without the Amp Gauge, you have zero reason to use any phial type aside from Power if what you care about is DPS. With each phial type charging the Amp gauge at different rates, it made every phial viable again.
    Except Dragon phial, no one cares about Dragon phial.
