Introduction
The Charge Blade in Monster Hunter Wilds is a weapon known for its high damage and forgiving playstyle. So, what does a complete build look like? Below, check out the suggestions from "The鴻" for the Charge Blade build in Monster Hunter Wilds, hoping to assist everyone in their journey.
Weapon Strategy
In this game, the mechanical weapons are undoubtedly the best choice, equipped with three level-3 slots. The advanced jewels in this game are incredibly powerful, offering a level 3 primary attribute and an additional level 1 secondary attribute. Therefore, the benefits of having three level-3 slots greatly outweigh the inherent effects of some weapons.
When it comes to choosing the weapon's attribute, I debated between Dragon and Sleep. The paralysis effect of the bomb barrels is quite impressive in this version, making it popular among players for those who prefer to use sleep (or paralysis) as their main strategy. Combining two major control options with the hard control of this game’s weakness mechanics is extremely effective.

Exploring the Chainsaw Axe Strategy
In this installment, the shield axe's strategy revolves around the chainsaw, allowing you to unleash powerful attacks after gathering enough pineapple flasks. The first and second strikes do not consume flasks, while the third strike cuts into half a flask. Any excess flasks can be used for big and ultimate transformations, but these should be saved for the right moments to enhance your performance. Except for the fire dragon's dragon attribute absorption and the water attribute absorption from the Rathalos, most monsters rely on the chainsaw output from the shield axe for hunting.
Essential Attributes
Therefore, I believe that high-speed transformation and combos are the two most crucial attributes. A bit of critical hit is fine; it's better to invest in these two aspects for improved returns. Also, in this game, the j defense benefits more than the gp, allowing an immediate activation of the chainsaw without needing to mount or inflict wounds, which is a vital approach for solo hunting with the shield axe. Hence, the three free level 3 slots for blocking performance can be fully utilized, as the red shield gp in this game also causes damage, providing decent returns.
Equipment Selection
Choosing the right equipment can significantly enhance your overall effectiveness in Monster Hunter Wilds. Ensure to equip items that support high-speed transformation and maximize your output efficiently.
Weapon Selection and Skills
Most players opt for the Blade Lock and the Black Erosion combo with variations of 2+3 or 3+2, considering the Weakness Exploit and Fortunate Misfortune skills. It’s a bit unfortunate if you can’t achieve full Weakness Exploit and full Fortunate Misfortune, but having level 2 Fortunate Misfortune should suffice.
Charm Choices
The Spirit Charm Level 3 is more suitable for my playstyle. The Sheath Skill can improve the feel of the weapon slightly, and you can also consider the Shock Buffer Charm (especially in multiplayer). As for the Shield Axe in this game, it can't knock down teammates, but teammates can interrupt our moves. So, it ultimately comes down to personal preference for charm selection.
