Im really enjoying Title Update with the new Monsters, theres so much more stuff to do! But its also awesome for Builds because you have way more good options now! Amazing Video!
Yup alooot to do indeed ! It's taking alotof time to make Build Videos now to incooperate all new things and also farm for everything. But i'm enjoying it alot! Also loving the fact that they significantly increased the drop rate of the augmenting materials. I see alot less people complaining about the system now, wich is defenitely a positive change.
Great video as always dude, was starting to get the itch to start using Switch Axe again and every one of these builds are gonna be fun to use, keep up the great work Nox!
Awesome Builds! Its great to see the new skills used here because they are actually super good! Switch Axe is also just incredible right now, so its great to get Builds on it!
Incredible builds, especially as a swaxe main in every game it's been in!! I just have one question about the "elemental force x1" build of yours, why did you choose to go with lucent narga helmet for agitator 5, instead of the onmyo waist?
Glad you're enjoying the content! A great question, specialy as this particular Helmet often gets overlooked! Along with the Agitator Lv 3 it has Handicraft Lv 1 wich is giving us the 3rd Lv of Handicraft to push the Weapons into purple sharpness. And it's 3-1-1 Slotage completely covers all our Elemental Decos. The Helmet has insanely high overall value depending on the Build. There is currently no Helmet that would allow for a combination with the Onmyo Waist that could beat the Lucent Helmet + Sailor Waist.
I've been really trying for that status build not just for poison but for paralysis and blast. I'm having a hard time dodging the attacks at the right moment since I usually just get out of the way before the attack comes out. I see the difference between this one and the one I have is the chest piece. I wonder how much of a difference it will make but I'm definitely gonna try this one out specifically
I gave up on status trigger as the dodge window is small and the effect only lasts 12 seconds and went full Risen Mizuha set instead. With chameleos rampage gem, bloodblight life steal debuff and spamming invincible gambit every ten seconds peak performance is active most of the fight and I still get the build up boost buff every three hits.
@@muhrizkind No problem at all ! ^_^ That Layered Armor is made with: - Benevolent Bandage (DLC Ninja Mask) - Base Commander Chest - Base Commander Arms - Barbania Belt - Guild Palace Legs
That's awesome ! Happy to hear you're enjoying the content! Most of the Builds only require to be past MR 10. But the ones using the Risen Chameleos Parts require MR 110, since that is required to unlock his new Quest for the armor.
Thanks, i appreciate your feedback! ^_^ At the moment my Switch Skill setup for Swaxe looks like this: 1 - Forward Slash 2 - Finishing Discharge 3 - 2-Staged Morph 4 - Soaring Wyvern Blade ( or Invincible Gambit depending on the Monster i'm fighting) 5 - Elemental Burst Counter / Switch Charger on Scroll 2
Ohh... That exhaust build look interesting. I'm thinking of building exhaust SA after playing with some random player and seeing how ”broken” exhaust build. I'm sure gonna try your exhaust build. And also you give us another new elemental build and not just 1 but 2 options for all element. Well, time for me to upgrade your previous water SA build into one of the new build, or maybe both if i'm not lazy. Oh well, gonna finish my stun DB build first based on your build before doing this. Hahaha
I got the game on switch to play on the go. For talisman like at 5:46 , does it mean I give up 2 weakness exploit if I use the attack boost one? Or the rapid morph from the left? Sorry trying to figure out what skills to drop ^^
No worries, all questions are welcome ! ^_^ If you use the ATK boost one you'll only need 1 ATK Deco to reach ATK + 4, wich is kind of the sweet spot for it. Defenitely keep the Weakness exploit at Lv 3. You can chose if you want to drop the Quickswitch or the Jump Deco. But you likely wont have to drop anything if you augment the Build even just slightly.
That's a tricky question^^ Because i have made upgradet versions of most of these after TU3. The thing however is that the performance difference between the Builds in this Video and the new updated ones is actually quite small. It's kind of tied to the restrictions we still have due to some Decorations not yet being in the game. So there's a big chance TU4 will change that and I'll be putting out a new Video with laregly updated Swaxe Builds. (If you're wondering about the changes after TU3 it's mostly just using 1 or 2 Parts of Risen Teo. Either Head or Chest Piece, or both and that's already it^^)
@@YokaiNox Got it, thanks for the response! I stumbled upon this video after TU3 and ended up switching up out the Almundron hem the the R. Teostra helm. Good to know we're aligned on that one haha
That was just due to Skill priority and the Builds shown being non-augmented. (Defiance Lv 3 over Flinch Free 1 in this case) I would definitely add Flinch Free Lv 1 onto that aswell once it's augmented. Wich is super cheap & easy to get 👍🏽
The Rathian ? It got paralyzed, flinched a few times & then fell over cause the damage broke it's affliction state. Yup, the paralyzis came from my palico.
So, I’ve been going over the Elemental Force X I Swaxes here, and without a talisman of Rapid Morph 2 or higher, not likely to get the full Rapid Morph
That's basically what the on screen extra Talisman examples are suggesting in terms of skill/slot value. It can be Attack Boost, Weakness Exploit, Rapid Morph, or a mix of them. Aslong as the Total is 2 Levels worth + 1x Lv 2 Slot. The most common Talisman would be Rapid Morph 2 [2-0-0]. The Enhancer+4 Deco can also be swapped for Rapid Morph+4 Deco if needet.
Only because Evade Window is a very cheap augment and can often come along with other good skills. And since i show non-augmented Builds for these videos it's more efficient to get it from augmenting. But It a great skill to add either way if you like it 👍🏽
"Reckless" is probably the best way to describe how i play it aswell. I use the survivability factors as an excuse to even more all out thn usual in most cases😄 383 sounds like a good place. How much ATK boost are you running right now ?
@@wiznamalsetamer9231 Oh nice then you still have some room to customize My augmented version currently runs max ATK boost, Wirebug Whisperer & some Coalescence.
As someone around MR 50 with now Risen monsters for sometime. Are these builds still valid for me? Its hard to find stuff without Risen gear or dragon conversion. And im not the biggest fan of Health drain gain gameplay either
I do use Speed Sharpening with Protective Polish. But i always farm & buy Great Whethfish Fins. I use those first since they have the same effect as Speed Sharpening Lv 3 and they're pretty easy to get now in Sunbreak. I usualy mention in the videos that you can exchange any Lv 1 Decos for anything else you might prefer ^^ So Speed Sharpening can easily be slotted into all of them, specially since these arent even augmented yet👍🏽
I know this video is like 2 months old, but I’m trying to get back in monster hunter lately. How do you, like, get the talisman that he’s showing. I only have the one from the Beginning of the game. He’s using one called the divine talisman btw
Divine Talismans are just Rarity 10 Talismans 😄 You've picked a pretty good time to come back to Sunbreak because you can easily get Talismans like that or better with the new melding method quite quick now. You'll have to be past MR 100 though.
@@Docotuero Always if I have the time to ^_^ You get access to the first 2 melding methods (Melding-Anima & Melding-Reincarnation) that can give you Divine Talismans after completing the "main" story for Sunbreak. So after MR 10. Untill you get there the HR melding methods are still worth doing aswell though.
Hey, of course you may! I actually change them a bit depending on what i'm fighting but my basic setup is: - Forward Slash - Finishing Discharge - 2 Staged Morph Slash Combo - Soaring Wyvern Blade / Invincible Gambit on th other Scroll - Elemental Vurst Counter / Switch Charger on the other scroll
Yup it's still viable! It's a good pick against Monsters that have bad, or "akward" to hit Elemental Hitzone values (same goes for poison SA). And afllicted Monsters getting exhausted after they get knocked out of the state makes them an easy target to KO with SA.
Very simple. It has ATK Boost Lv 2 & 2x Lv 2 Slots. Wich makes it one of the most versitile & valuable Chest pieces in the game right now. And since there are no others with higher priority skills for Switchaxe for the particular Skill Setup, it's an easy choice. Also because most other "good" Chest Pieces have a less benefitial slotage right now. Charge Master & Marathon runner just come along with it. And they can get taken away by augmenting wich increases our chance for additional good skills & slots. So since we dont care about them here it's actually a not a bad thing at all that they are on the piece.
In that case it would be Element. But as things are right now i personally wouldnt go for the Rampage Slot Upgrade. The best overall DPS setup for it is ATK +1 / Elm +4. And just running Anti-Species Deco or the new Blood Deco.
Not quite. The Sharp+ 4 Deco defenitely has to stay for Sharpness managament (unless your augments give you protective polish in another way). The Deco you want to drop is the flexible one i talk about in the video. Wich is the Stamina Thief +3 one. You'll have extra Slots on the weapon to add Stamina Thief Lv 1 Decos, and extra Lv 1 Slots come super easy via augmenting. So getting Stamina Thief back up to Lv 3 if you want to, will be no problem at all ! :)
Critical based Skills are usualy not a priority for Switchaxe because the Weapon has alot of moves that can not Crit by nature. All the big & small Phial Explosion can not Crit, wich is a huge part of the overall Damage. So we always go for Raw ATK based Skills first. Weakness exploit is the exception because it has insanely high value for any weapon. If you have left over free Slots after adding in all the priority stuff, then Critboost comes into play 👍🏽So it can be a decent option for augmenting on Switchaxe Builds aswell.

@@mike35424 Any time ! ^_^
Indeed. The R.Teo Helm is so good and flexible that it's almost impossible not to fit it into most Builds atm.
why didnt you go for brace on the elemental X 2 build ?
That was just due to Skill priority and the Builds shown being non-augmented.
(Defiance Lv 3 over Flinch Free 1 in this case)
I would definitely add Flinch Free Lv 1 onto that aswell once it's augmented. Wich is super cheap & easy to get 👍🏽
Hi in toxic truth how come the monster was almost not moving? Are you using paralysis on palicoes/palamute? Thanks!

Where are you getting level 3 chameleos blessing for your 5th build, the equipment you show only gives level 2
It's a Decoration now. You unlock it after fighting Risen Chameleos.
You can see it on the Deco List in the Video. It's the "Haze" Decoration
why is flaming espinas chest any good ? Marathon runner and Charge master are useless. I don't understand.
Very simple. It has ATK Boost Lv 2 & 2x Lv 2 Slots. Wich makes it one of the most versitile & valuable Chest pieces in the game right now.

In that case it would be Element.
But as things are right now i personally wouldnt go for the Rampage Slot Upgrade. The best overall DPS setup for it is ATK +1 / Elm +4. And just running Anti-Species Deco or the new Blood Deco.
