Gonna run through the early game of MHW with my wife. Been only using Switchaxe for my first 120 hours or so here, and I think this is a good time to try something new. What would y’all recommend for a switch axe guy? I was thinking this time maybe something fast and can guard? Like the opposite of switch axe? I’m not sure where to go tho.
Charge blade would be my recommendation. It felt almost natural to pick up when it debuted since I was a switch axe main in tri and 3U. It has a combat loop that is similar in nature to swaxe so you’ll probably click with it like I did. And that shield can really help you in a tough spot. Plus, you get the unga bunga big number power we lack with the swaxe in the form of the phial discharges.
