One more tip.. After you finish the mount you can clutch claw from mid air to the monster to get off an immediate ZSD.
nice guide. You forgot to mention that during ZSD you gain 4 levels of earplugs. It is recommended that you at least put 1 earplug jewel in your build to allow uninterrupted ZSD on monsters
Really? Dang now thats important info
First place i've seen this. You the man!
This was REALLY well made.
Nice and informative while not being 45 mins long.
To be fair, most tutorials for weapons are that long because weapons in this game are just that in depth. I watched a nearly 30 minute video just on guard points for CB and I learned SO MUCH.
"You will swing like a drunk idiot." -moment I decided to go SAxe
All the SA guides I've seen so far use the controller layout for teaching movesets. Finally i found one that uses mouse+keyboard 😭 thank you for this!
not that hard to think of it in the other setup, i personally have never used keyboard and mouse and never will, but left click = Y or Triangle, right click = B or Circle, ctrl I would assume is the block skill so RT or equivalent of a PS controller (id guess r2)
@@CrauGaming The fact that you to guess kinda proves the point.
Who tf plays this game on keyboard and mouse hahaha
@@kalaka1582 Well I do, I can't fathom playing this on a joystick.
@@RMeitzen I can't fathom how you can use a longsword on keyboard and mouse.
A few other tips:
- You have a natural 4 points of earplugs when doing ZSD. This means you only need one point of it to stay on during roars.
- ZSD benefits greatly from mantles and health regen which allow you to take damage while staying on the monster to keep the ZSD going.
- Tool Specialist Secret (with Fatalis or Luna set bonus) is excellent for switchaxe because it cuts mantle cooldowns in half, allowing almost a huge amount of uptime between temporal and iron mantle for safe ZSD spam.
Useful tips. Thank sir!
Mounting with SA don't usually fully charge amp meter, unless you use focus or hit another monster/corpses (yes weird i know) while finishing zsd.
Also different phial have different amp meter to fully enter amped state, power phial have the most hit required while dragon phial is the least.
Advance tips from me :
1. Whenever you see ledge or climbable wall, feel free to use all of the sword guage and quickly recharge with jumping morph attack.
2. If you see somewhere you can slide, use jumping morph attack and you can easily mount anything (preferably you to hit the head it's usually instant mount).
3. This wasn't explained in the video but while zsd you gain earplug +4 so if you add another earplug then you can withstand any roar without being interrupted.
4. Not always the best case, but if you do zsd spam strat it's best if you let go before final explosion to prevent very long finishing animation. I always finish between 11-13 tick at max.
5. Fast way building amped meter combo, heavensward flurry > side hop > double slash or heavensward flurry > normal elemental discharge > in the middle of elemental discharge perform a clutch claw.
6. No, artillery doesn't work for SA, stop asking. Yes it's include felyne bombardier. SA don't need those skill since it's already have a very big PP.
7. Amped axe doesn't increase damage, but what it does is increase partbreak and flinch damage roughly 27% (according to reddit) and you can stack it with partbreaker skill.
Will add more if i remember anything :)
Great additional Tips!
This is so concise yet comprehensive! Thank you for such an awesome guide 😍😍😍
Great guide! I've been wanting to play switch axe recently and this was a really good way to start learning it
Great and well made beginner guide, this was helpful! All other guides I could find used controllers, so I'm super glad I found such a high quality keyboard and mouse guide. Super Informative while not being an hour long. Also your accent is to die for, I love it :"
Thank you for this! I tried the SA after seeing that people were running this weapon for Fatalis. Even tho I beat him with the hunting horn the first time I was intrigued by how the SA worked and this video along with your Fatalis SA one helped me understand the weapon better and the play style I’d like to go with it for future hunts
Switching mains from Charge Blade to Switch Axe. Definitely a huge help. Thanks!
Same
I love youu! Thank you for pc guide!!! Your guide plus the clear explanation of mouse buttons to press made my day. Finally a mhw pc guide to tge swag axe
Love seeing vids dedicated to my beloved Swagaxe! Great job!
One of the best guides I've seen ... period! Great job!
Since a lot seem to miss it: For the Axe Mode: When you Press Mouse (or Triangle) just before the first wild swing ends and the hunter turns red, you can do an immediate heavy slam. No need to do two left/right swings.
This is true
I found your videos by accident, and trust me, I've seen so many guides for MHW but your guides - editing, pacing, teaching is top notch. I'll recommend u to my friends :D
Great guide! Thanks! I'm new to this monster hunting thingy, and switch axe caught my eye early on. It simply looks awesome :D.
Great tutorial and in depth on the combos etc 👍
Damn that’s a cool layered armor in the beginning. Also really helpful video. I picked up SA again for Fatalis and really want to get back into it.
Thanks for uploading this, really helped
Panda is the best teacher and content creator monster hunter world. Thank you for always give us gold content with amazing work🙏🤧
Good guide!! Remember to morph after ZSD so you can get all the lost meter back (:
Yooo this guide is true GEM! Thank you very much 🙏🏿
thanks sist, nice guide & video, this help me a lot
My all time favorite weapon baby!! Great video! Hope too see you guys on MHrise
Great guide, thank you very much.
Good job, nice vid. TIP: while on ZSD, if you go all the way you get a long animation at the end and pushes you far away. You can avoid this by ending with R2 (ps4 player sry) the ZSD manually before the final explosion. This way you land close to the monster and ready to attack.
@@_Alrin Thank you for listing what that is on PC. It's usually such a pain figuring out what key buttons are.
As always.. your tutorials are good and really helpful
Agree agree agree🐺
"An addiction you can't never get out of" that's so accurate it's scary.
Just made a nice comfy build for this bad boi, now with this guide I'll have to try it out :p
Thanks ^^
The best mh Video ive ever Seen..thy so much fir making this Video!
This was REALLY well made
Nice and informative while not being 45 min long.
I can finally commit to my psycho part breaker personality and go true demon as I unleash phial shots deep in the monsters skull, laughing historically as Phial shells tinker on the ground echoing in the cave as the beast roars in agony. And as soon as I'm shrugged off, as if nothing hit me, I return bashing it's skull with my axe until it's dull in the red, just to shove the massive speartip back in, to continue melting it's brain.
helped me alot, thanks
Another great tip for Iceborne Swaxe, after a mount (if you're skilled enough) you can clutch claw as the monster falls and go straight into Zero Sum Discharge
I try to be well rounded with all of the weapons but I never knew you could do "that" let alone charge the axe wtf!? Lol I gotta hit the dojo!
I started playing Monster Hunter in Tri were Switch Axe got introduced, I played from time to time in all MH games but never trid to truly learn it, but now I am looking to truly master it this time
Thanks for the guide. I've never used Swag Axe before but, when I get my Series X, I plan on doing a full playthrough of World and Iceborne with just the Switch Axe. Should be fun :-)
I needed this
Switch axe my second favorite weapon perfect video guide on it well done
"An addiction that you can never get yourself out of." [Looks at 2k+ runs with SwAxe on my guild card]
I can quit whenever I want....
thank you nice guide
Great tips 👍
Really good Video !!!, you helped me out alot 😇
Quick Question, do you mind sharing the outfit you are using in the beginning of the video ?
Nice to see a sgrean on youtube!
This is so helpful! Only question is what is the layered base and part that you are using, specifically the gold and blue one.
I fell in love with the Switch Axe back on Monster Hunter Tri.
nice guide!
On the last one when you preform a mount attack if you time it right you can clutch claw back onto the monster and go into a instant ZSD instead of losing 2-3sec dps window
Finally a youtuber who uses m+kb. Subbing!
Thx for SA guide! anw sometimes when I do ZSD while mounting monster my char got knockdown. Any tips for that?
Hi, thought I'd make a mention here about the final tip of the video (Edit: I was kinda wrong here but not quite, the creator replied with a claryfication). The mounting attack for SA does *not* fully fill the sword's amped state from empty without any level of focus. Focus WILL increase how much amp meter you get per attack. In the video example you provided, your mounting attack happened to also hit some of the Girros next to the great Girros, so I imagine that's why you ended up with full charge without any focus, as hitting them would also increase your gauge. Even then, it filled up super quickly, so you may have a little focus in that build.
Either way, I liked the video. It was cool to see someone show off some keyboard controls. I play on PC, but I seriously have no idea how you guys play with mouse and keyboard in this game, and I respect it!
@@_Alrin huh, well that's pretty cool. I didn't realize there was a difference between elemental phial and power phial build up. I've only ever run raw since building for element was a pain before these new event quests that shell out good decos. Thanks for clarifying!
thank you so much
For PC users who use a controller like me:
Left click: Y / Triangle. Right click: B / Circle. CTRL: RT / R2.
(amazing guide btw)
best tutorial so far
Amazing guide. I picked up swaxe for fatalis and to farm eveil eyes but got very interested into doing something other than just ZSD its face. Now I just have to translate the controls for controller but yeah it not called a swagaxe for nothing
Excellent quality
Does anybody know what switchaxe in particular she had at the beginning? I really need to know
Hi, that's the guild palace switch axe!
What font is that at 1:57 ? "sword icon"
Great vid.
love this! can you make a bow guide?
How to get that switch axe layered armor?
Thank you
Thanks for the tips. I'm playing this on ps4 but the button inputs I pretty much translated automatically. I'm still getting the hang of sword mode. Axe mode I find easy to use. Just set up wild swing and let the sparks fly. And you do more damage than me. You have max attack? Mines only lv5. Need to upgrade the attack charm
That intro was fire
How do you hook yourself to a monster from the ground only with the grappling hook? I'm trying to figure it out and I just can't. :D
Really wanted to try but damn it looks hard and complex. I only played monster hunter world using great sword or longsword. Really good tutorial btw
How do I turn it into the sword on pc
Ahhh... finally a keyboard+mouse tutorial. Been using GS since the start of the game, need something for a change.
What was the chest piece she was using
What is the name of the switch axe you use in the video?
what swag axe is that of which monster?
*_Aaaaah there's that awesome voice! The great video is just icing on the cake! : )_*
I love the statuses philes cous you can stick an elementles and getting that extra raw but capcom decided to make it 5% instead of the 10% we use to have well is better then nothing right
Good music choice
A couple of suggestions, axe clutch attack tenderizes making the area affected less defensive, also the zero sum discharge has some natural ear plugs (+4 I believe) meaning you can use that to deal with roars
You'll need 1 earplug deco or armor skill to max it. it's totally worth it for normal discharge into zero sum clutch.
What layered armor is that?
Finally a PC tutorial
Hello! May I know all your layered armor and weapon shown in the video? Looks really cool! Thanks
Yeah i also wanted to know too. Im still playinb this great game. Turn out its a giros mod so im ps4 so cant make it. Bummer
4:18 Unless they're a longsword user. Then send those fuckers into the air for some sweet, petty revenge.
What switch axe are you using?
Nice vid. Got a question: does artillery affect the power of switch axe since it uses phials like charge blade? Or not. Also does the felyne bombardier food skill affect power phials like with how it boosts impact phials on charge blades? Thanks
Both doesn't affect SA, power phials just increase raw attack. SA power elemental phials is better for damage or sleep phials for wallbang spam in guiding land for easy shiny drops
@@noupo ah ok. So elemental phial > power phial? Thanks for the response :)
Well I can say this I've included the switch axe to weapons of choice I'm using the great sword sword and shield switch axe long sword and now I'm trying out the bow to include that to my weapons of choice lol starting over is much fun lol darkphantom
Awesome ! Last played swag ax on tri but just picked it up again on IB. Thank you and also keyboard layout
@@_Alrin Thank you. ❤️
@@_Alrin How About The White Armor?
what axe are you using
Came in here, watched a few seconds, you started talking, immediate reaction: "O MY GAWD SINGAPOREAN?!?!?!?!"
Immediate subscribe! #SupportLocal
Great video btw!!! Really awesome guide! keep it up yo! :D
Cringe
I thought she was German by the accent.
Do you even need Evade Window or Just Evade Extender?
Panda great guide,Pls do Longsword guide. Thanks 👍
I like the vid but what ax is that it looks beautiful
subbed
what's the layered set you used in the beginning of the video?
It's the "New Armor - New Girros" mod which replaces the already existing Great Girros armor and layered armor
Me, during the few seconds of the video - 'DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA"
what layered chest piece is that?
B
I would have like to know the difference between the phials. Still good guide.
Is that layered armor a mod? I tried grinding tons of materials but I still can't find the one you're using. The chest piece with girros layer
Yeah the one we are using in the video is from a mod "New Armor - New Girros" mod which replaces the already existing Great Girros armor and layered armor
@@_Alrin Thanks
My main weapon plus more swag
Are those modded layers or am I missing something
just wanna ask are you the same panda at Justwant2playagame dota2 channel? lol
Does anyone know whats the armor at 4:18?
Hey, that's the Wedding Dress mod!
what mod are you using for the girros bikini? its really look good on you
@@_Alrin thanks! happy hunting too! and also stay safe! A big fight is coming!
