Although Elemental Swax can be stronger, Raw is just so much more comfortable. Not having to Swap your Build for each Monster is great. Awesome to see marvelous Raw Builds man!
That's exactly the reason why i always keep 1-2 Raw Builds in my Loadouts! 👍🏽 Sometimes you just need a quick comfy option to get the job done without thinking too much.
@@YokaiNox Yeah definitly, you van hop into a multiple hunts and be fine. Also Quests with multiple Monsters, area Pain if you want optimal damage with elemental
@@romanfuchs1932 Exactly, especially during the endgame where you have hunted everything. I really don't wanna swap all the time and I just want to get in a hunt quickly. Plus at this point I'm also tired of the grinding, I just want to enjoy my op builds. The Anomaly Investigations are fun in general but the grind for specific low-end monsters and certain materials that don't show up in your list can be somewhat frustrating.
If this video has taught me anything…. This is possibly one of the most diverse end games for builds on switch axe I’ve seen in a loooong time. I love it
Yup, diverse is a very good way to put it! Switchaxe has lots of viable options right now that each branch off into mutiple directions. Glad you enjoyed it!
The funny thing is, if i had to say wich weapon is my favourite, i honestly have no clue 😄 I play 8 out of the 12 Weapons so much that it's actually pretty balanced^^ It would likely be between Hammer, LS, Swaxe & Sns right now. Wich one is your favourite ?
@@YokaiNox Come on man. Is that a question?! The Dual Blades of course. Theyre super fast attacks, amazing mobility, and great damage are just amazing. I love the Dual Blades!
It compares very interestingly would be the right answer here😄 Exhaust falls behind when looking at damage per hit, because it doesnt get the raw damage boost to Sword Mode that Power Phial Axes get. However, Exhaust Phials are the easiest to amp & easiest to build for by far + The access to a KO and increased potential for stuns can make up for some of the dps loss, if your playstyle is very offense oriented. I'll likely make a post about Status (Exhaust/Poison/Para) Builds tomorrow or some time soon. After some testing and doing the math hardly anything changed from the TU4 Builds. Essentialy the only difference will be using more powerfull Talismans now. For best possible dps the Builds would be the exact same - armor part wise. (With the option of running Amatsu legs insted of R.Valstrax if you dont mind loosing Stun Res.)
Wonderful videos, great guides and im glad you're still making content with each update. Is the tu4 glaive guide you made a month ago still appropriate for this update?
Happy to hear you're enjoying the content! ^_^ Yup, that one is still highly effective in TU5! In terms of DPS it's pretty much as good as it gets atm. The new crazy Talismans will upgrade it a bit, but it's not much of a change for now.
Glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ For an actual Poison Build the Remobra Switchaxe would still be more ideal, since it can take better advantage of poison related Skills. But for a Raw damage focused Build the Lucent Switchaxe is the btter one.
May i ask something? I tried to make the remnant upgrade version, but i kinda want to keep the wind mantle skill i already got for, you know, more counter. Is it better if i keep the buildup boost at level 2 + MoH level 1, or sacrifice the MoH for buildup boost level 3? Thank you in advance
Hey there 🖐🏽Sorry bout the late reply, was out of town for a bit. Luckily it wont make much of a difference here between the 2 skill combinations you mentioned. I personally would go the BB 2 + MoH 1 route. That offers a more well-roundet DPS output. But it honestly wont be a significant difference either way 👍🏽
Hey nox i have a question, so in regards with the remnant build, is the primordial parts viable since the purpose of this set is so you can last awhile on A.hunts or no
They're definitely viable and i'm thinking off making another Raw Damage Swaxe Build Video with them aswell. After i'm done with Hunting Horn i'll run some tests on it and let you guys know 👍🏽
@@YokaiNox fantastic tysm!!!! In the future could you make either a raw/build up boost db or charge blade the elemental ones can be tiresome 😅😅😅 but again appreciate the hard quality work
@@juggerdarknaut013 That's something i had planned aswell 😄Though for DB it is getting veeery hard to even justify a non-elemental Build atm😅 They fall so far behind in DPS that it's painfull to compare 😅😅 CB is looking a bit better on that front.
imo, pro.polish lvl 2 suits this build better since you'll need to turn your sharpness to blue to activate grinder S, which could be a hard thing to do with heaven-sent because it prevents you from losing sharpness once it's active. with pro polish level 2 and grinder level 3, the unli sharpness expire first giving you enough time to turn your weapon sharpness to blue again before ginder S lvl 3 runs out. maybe i'm wrong but that's just my cent about it. great video btw!
You got some missinformation here @Solution. Just as aik pointed out already, Heaven-Sent Lv 2 does not deactivate sharpness loss! ^^ Only at Lv 3. And at Lv 3 it also becomes an entirely different Skill.
@@YokaiNox ohhh thanks for pointing that correction out for me. i mistook the skill that it recovers sharpness at lvl 3. nowwith that being said, it seems handy and will save you a lot of other skills to alocate on armor slots.
Hey👋🏽 I'm doing alright, thanks ^_^ How about yourself? The Switch Skills i use are: - Forward Slash - Finishing Discharge - Double Morph Slash - Burst Counter - Soaring Wyvern I usually have them turned on in the HUD setting for Video Background footage, but there's so much to put on screen now that i have them turned off atm. 😄
Question, if you wanted could you opt in for a bit of blast dmg? I have some the armor augmented to fit a raw ig build with amatsu armor and has teo blessing and i think a level of blast dmg up. The build i followed for it wanted them on the build and i dont exactly have the resources to make a new piece and max level it
You definitely could. Sadly the blast dmg up skill has incredibly low value and is hardly ever worth going for at all. Unless you get it up to max you'll get more out of literally any other dmg increase you could fit into the same slot^^"
@@YokaiNox yea i realized that i had followed a build similar to this with insect glaive. Except due to how often you can attack with it, blast attack, teo blessing and another skill i cant remember rn were used. So i stuck the swaxe on thus build and swapped out the legs for the risen val set and had most of the decos i needed, minus the masters touch. I couldve used the risen teo waist for all 3 levels (augment to remove one level of ballistic for an extra master touch) but id be missing on the frenzy skills. So now its almost done give or take a few of the comfort skills u augmented onto the set as to not through off my other sets
Glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ The TU5 ones will still be among the best possible choices for Raw Swaxe, but there will be another Build that joins the Top 3 Raw Swaxe Builds. After i'm done with Hunting Horn i'll run some tests on the new Raw Build and let you guys know.
Exhaust with Buildup Boost is still a good option for a comfertable to manage playstyle 👍🏽In terms of damage it will definitely fall behind a bit though. Since you wont have a Power Phial, wich is ideal for Raw Swaxe due to the damage boost it gives to attacks in Sword mode. For Exhaust nothing has realy changed in terms of the Build. Your best option would be the same Build from the Status Swaxe Builds Video. (Reconquress + Protective Polish & as much Builup Boost as you can get your hand on)
I'm a bit confused can someone help me, where did he gets Frenzied Bloodlust from? Rapid morph talisman and the rest armor set and augmentation without frenzied bloodlust. Thanks
Frenzied Bloodlust comes with the Virtue Armor Piece by default (If you're playing as a female Character the Armor is called "Prudence" insted. It's from Risen Shagaru). As for the Rapid Morph Talisman I explained how to get it very early in the Video. Maybe you missed it.
do i get this right: so when i augment an armor piece for one set it is a set augment for that armor piece. when i augment that piece again for a different armor set, that same piece has the new augment and i lost the augment for my other set. right? so you cannot create multiple armor pieces of the same armor, right?
In theory, yes. But it would only make any sense for the 2nd Build in pratice. Since it would completely go against the Grinder Skill on the 1st Build and drasticaly reduce the DPS as a result. Anything more than Heavensent Lv 2 is sadly very impractical for most Switchaxe Builds to fit in. This might change with TU6 though ^_^
That's a tricky one cause the Virtue Coil is insanely good! The best choices to replace that part right now would be the Anjanath or Scorned Magnamal waist. You'll have to adjust the Decorations a bit according to the Skills. (Bloodlust will have to be addet via Deco)
Worst negative? The fact that if I want to implement a skill like buildup boost I gotta lose the core skill of the augmented armor no matter what piece it is (like heaven sent on the robe as an example and that's IF buildup boost even shows up, which is almost never) The whole augment table (and my talisman melding table) basically says one big F YOU to my face.
Its possible to get build up boost on tempest gear using the normal augment system. I've done it myself in order to keep heaven sent. It just takes a long time of grinding augments until you get it. Took me about 4 million zenny to get it on all 3 pieces
Yeah it can definitely be a pain getting some of the Skills to drop as Augment on the armor^^" They drop with regular augmenting aswell, wich had a much higher chance of not taking any of the existing Skills away. Will require time & resources though depending on luck. It's actually "easier" to hope on Talisman RNG for stuff like Buildup Boost etc now wich is kinda redicolus^^
Oh I know it's possible through regular augment too, but when I say it's fucked. I mean it, even regular augment can lower skills on occasion, and you can bet that when I try, rng hates me lol or like yokai said, even if I'll get lucky eventually, it'll take most of my mats at the moment . As for talismans, you can check what's in your queue by just spam building them with MP pills. But the levels of randomized skills like BB and frostcraft in vigor, in 105 builds (# of MP pills I currently have) is abysmal, I have to "dry" build and grind quests to clear the next meld slots and check the next with MP again which is a pain. I wouldn't "whine" about my RNG otherwise 🤣
Para is still very good! ^_^ And actually keeps up pretty well, specialy in multiplayer. After some testing it turns out that for both Para & actual Poison Swaxe Builds nothing has changed from TU4. The best possible Build dps wise is still the exact same one from the Status Swaxe Video (wich also runs Status Trigger😄). All that would change is incooperating one of the new Talismans like RM 3 [2-2-2] or ATK 3 [2-2-2] & possible the Amatsu Legs if you want to have Heaven-Sent Lv 1 and are fine with the 30sec of not taking damage to activate it. Since Para gets very good use out of ZSD (wich literally eats sharpness) the straight up Masters Touch approach still comes out ontop for most cases. Unless ofc you have some crazy Talisman that lets you incooperate Heaven Sent Lv 2 and keep everything else intact.
I once had a Armor Roll that gave me everything in negative. Lost one point in crit boost, one point in latent power, had -3 thunder and -2 dragon res and lost -7 armor. No plus in anything.
@@wallabygaming7695 All questions are welcome here man! ^_^ It's to run the "Switcher" Rampage Deco. You basically never have to charge your Switchaxe again if you're using the right moves. Wich indirectly makes it stronger than any other Rampage Deco you could run with Switchaxe in most cases (+ you dont have to waist the Switch Skill Slot for the Charging move either). Right now Dragon is the only exception with the Valstrax Swaxe + Valstrax Soul Rampage Deco.
@@YokaiNox Thank you. I’m trying to put together a SwAxe build but all the videos I’m seeing involve really high MR gear. Could you do a SwAXE build for MR 75?
@@ScarHydreigon87 If you want to use a blast weapon this will work great for you: - Almudron Helm X - Flaming Espinas Chest - Malzeno Braces - Anjanath Coil X - Flaming Espinas Legs Get the listed Skills up to these Levels frist: - Rapid Morph to Lv 3 - Evade Extender to Lv 2 - ATK Boost to Lv 7 - Weaknes Exploit to Lv 3 - Power Prolonger to Lv 2 The Build already comes with alot of the Skills you need, so it will be very easy to complete this. The Talisman can be anything good you have. When you reacher MR 100 you can switch to one of the Builds in this Video: ▶ua-cam.com/video/03YIr8wK4I4/v-deo.html (Blast is not actually a Phial Type btw. The Phial Type is listed below the weapons other stats. For example the Magnamalo Axe has Blast & is a Power Phial Type. The Teostra Axe also has Blast, but is a Element Phial Type. Phial Types change how the Weapons amp state works & what kind of boost it gets when you fill the amp Gauge.)
You can, but the Weapons Sharpness lends itself more to Master's Touch and constantly staying in Purple. It performs pretty well though with Grinder (S) too.
Glad you enjoyed it 😄I think there's a hit with like 1.2k in the opening aswell on Chaotic Gore. The Build just hits like a truck once you get into it.
Grinder(S) increases your damage by 10% for 90 Seconds after restoring 2 Levels of Sharpness. So you just attack the monster untill you loose the purple & white sharpness, then you sharpen. And because 2 Levels were now restored Grinder(S) is activated and you get the 10% buff. You will not see your Attack value change on your Stat screen though, because Grinder acts as a buff to the Sharpness multiplier, wich cannot be seen. The only place you see any change in numbers is on your attacks, wich wil do significantly more damage now.
@@purehyper124 The Level of the Skill changes the activation requirements and benefits. Lv 1 is useless because you need to recover 3 levels of sharpness. Lv 2 is the same as i explained for Lv 3, but it only lasts for 60 sec insted of 90.
I'm a switch axe user, so these recent videos help me make great sets/builds, with 25% more damage on big hit, thanks a bunch. But I changed it a bit to add defense to make it harder to faint. I can tell you what I've used it if you want, so you can improve on a mix defense and damage build then show us?
If you're looking for a Switchaxe Set to bet him, then i would recommend using either one of these 2 Build, or using the Builds from the TU5 Element Swaxe Video.
Cause it would fall under actual Status Builds, not Raw 😄 There will likely be a post about actual Poison & Para Swaxe Builds soon. Hardly anything has changed at all from TU4 the mathematically best Builds for them are still the exact same as in the last Video. All that is realy new would be using a more powerfull Talisman now.

The Build already comes with alot of the Skills you need, so it will be very easy to complete this.
The Talisman can be anything good you have.
When you reacher MR 100 you can switch to one of the Builds in this Video:

(Blast is not actually a Phial Type btw. The Phial Type is listed below the weapons other stats.
For example the Magnamalo Axe has Blast & is a Power Phial Type. The Teostra Axe also has Blast, but is a Element Phial Type. Phial Types change how the Weapons amp state works & what kind of boost it gets when you fill the amp Gauge.)
Why not use grinder(s) on the scorned swaxe?
You can, but the Weapons Sharpness lends itself more to Master's Touch and constantly staying in Purple. It performs pretty well though with Grinder (S) too.
Solid builds you have! Heaven sent and Frenzied bloodlust are straight god tier lol
You have unlocked a new build: The Remnant Breaker
@@MrMotivatedFool 😄👍
1k damage on Rathian? How the F did you do that? Great guide by the way.
Glad you enjoyed it 😄I think there's a hit with like 1.2k in the opening aswell on Chaotic Gore. The Build just hits like a truck once you get into it.
@@YokaiNox awesome
I'm not sure how grinder increases attack or how much?
Grinder(S) increases your damage by 10% for 90 Seconds after restoring 2 Levels of Sharpness.
So you just attack the monster untill you loose the purple & white sharpness, then you sharpen. And because 2 Levels were now restored Grinder(S) is activated and you get the 10% buff.
You will not see your Attack value change on your Stat screen though, because Grinder acts as a buff to the Sharpness multiplier, wich cannot be seen. The only place you see any change in numbers is on your attacks, wich wil do significantly more damage now.
@@YokaiNox Thank you. But what changes with each lever?
@@purehyper124 The Level of the Skill changes the activation requirements and benefits. Lv 1 is useless because you need to recover 3 levels of sharpness. Lv 2 is the same as i explained for Lv 3, but it only lasts for 60 sec insted of 90.
@@YokaiNox Thanks for helping me.
I'm a switch axe user, so these recent videos help me make great sets/builds, with 25% more damage on big hit, thanks a bunch. But I changed it a bit to add defense to make it harder to faint. I can tell you what I've used it if you want, so you can improve on a mix defense and damage build then show us?
honestly, i dont understand how ur lucent nargacuga swicht axe have 385 atack with only one atack augment, that only gives you 5 atack power.
As you increase the Weapons Augment Slots to max you get free Attack buffs along the way.
What tree is the star breaker from?
Star Breaker is the name of the Build.
The weapon is called Mizar's Asterism - it's the Lucent Nargacuga Switchaxe.
@@YokaiNox ty
@@YokaiNox to farm for it I just need to progress right?
@@smo_gt2866 Yup, if you cant see the Weapon yet you just need to progress some more untill you fight Lucent Nargacuga for the first time.
gotta pump up my anomaly level, can't copy this build yet.
I badly need some good armour set to beat primal malzeno
If you're looking for a Switchaxe Set to bet him, then i would recommend using either one of these 2 Build, or using the Builds from the TU5 Element Swaxe Video.
Can you do charge blade next🙏🏽
CB Builds are currently already in the planning & building phase. It will likely be one of the next Videos ^_^
@@YokaiNox thank you!😁
Where them charge blade builds Nox ????????
In the planning & building phase.
Making Builds has reached an entirely new Level. The testing & math behind some things is more than it's ever been.
@@YokaiNox Copy copy, and thanks for taking ya time out your day and making these vids for us💪🏾
*Searches Expert Jewel+ 4*
*Is Anomaly level 131*
😢
In that case just use the regular Expert Decos for now, or go for 1x Wirebug+ 4 & 1x Foray+ 4 insted.
Ye also can't slot in the switcher jewel which is kinda mandatory for me atleast. Gonna have to grind some I see!
Aneone, plz, make bild for bows 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If this is something alot of you are interested I might have to make them sooner ^_^
no raw paralyze build? 😭
Cause it would fall under actual Status Builds, not Raw 😄 There will likely be a post about actual Poison & Para Swaxe Builds soon. Hardly anything has changed at all from TU4 the mathematically best Builds for them are still the exact same as in the last Video. All that is realy new would be using a more powerfull Talisman now.

Awesome! raw swagAxe best Axe!
Gotta love a raw SwagAxe for the convinience & comfort! 💪🏽
