Introduction
The Switch Axe in Monster Hunter Wilds is a versatile weapon that allows players to switch between sword and axe modes for various attacks. Below, you will find a guide on an effective Switch Axe build shared by the user “aa5542010,” which we hope will be useful to everyone.
Release Slash Technique
The release slash in this version is very powerful, combined with the release thrust that offers strong hyper armor and damage reduction. Therefore, after sharpening your axe, you can continuously perform release slashes. When the monster is too active, you can easily climb up and get in those slashes. When the monster gets tired or falls, you can unleash unlimited release slashes. The damage is high and the lock slash makes it easy to inflict wounds. If you’re fighting simpler monsters solo, they won’t be able to stand up.
After performing a release slash, immediately follow up with the left click to perform a spiral fill slash, gathering a lot of energy and allowing you to transform back into sword mode to continue releasing slashes.
Armor Build
For an effective armor setup with the Switch Axe, you'll want to focus on skills that enhance your damage output and mobility. Below is a suggested armor build:
Conclusion
Utilizing the strategies and builds mentioned above can significantly enhance your gameplay experience in Monster Hunter Wilds. Happy hunting!
High Attack Build Strategy
I prefer focusing on higher attack power, compensating for critical hits with the damage-enhancing gear. If you want to boost your critical hits, switch the belt to the Lockjaw Dragon Waist B (+2 Weakness Exploit). If you're playing solo, you can replace the buffer with the sheath skill for more agility. My attack isn't maxed out because I rely on the combo skill to enhance my damage.
Weapon Choices
If you don't want to use mechanical weapons, you can opt for the Lockjaw Dragon or Beast Breaker set.
Enjoy your gaming experience!
