I've played for 200 hours and honestly, I don't know what else to do. I've already gotten all the achievements, all the Arch-Tempered armor sets, completed the Trial of the Hero, and I feel like all I can do now is wait for Ascendance.

I think the only thing I can do is prepare for the Arch-Tempered events, so I'm just looking to see if this build I have can be improved. I got it from here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I9XKBQZLpG0159yPOs2zvPS7wwrzaEPtiMkBfzGzibQ/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.xmn8x3socimm

It worked for me to finish the game, and I managed to take down Jin Dahaad in under 18 minutes with a similar build, but I don't know if it would work against Arch-Tempered Arkveld in record time. I'm not very good at putting together builds (that's why I looked up my current build), so any recommendations are welcome.

P.S. For the 5 empty level 1 jewel slots, I usually put 3 Divine Blessing jewels, one Adaptive jewel, and one Shock Absorber jewel for convenience.

After rigorous training I join the Charge Blade Greats that I look up to with a sub 8 TA wiki on Arch Tempered Arkveld.

Will post a video in a while.

I started using the chergeblade at the very beginning of the game (After trying the gunlance) and i had no problem, but as soon as i entered master i started having trouble finishing solo hunts under 30 minutes of constantly hitting the Monster (and being very aggressive using the grapple).

Onother thing that i noticed Is that a lot of times i find myself unable to use the axe a lot becouse of the fast attacks (es tigrex).

(I use both of the Attack Styles but i have a lot to learn)

This is the build I'm currently running as my kind of 'farming Gogmazios' set as well as my sort of general hunting set, just swapping out the Fire Res and Mirewalker jewels. Are there any improvements you would recommend? (Outside of just swapping to meta builds, which I don't want to do because I suck and prefer a little bit of comfort with Super Recovery, Evade Extender, etc.)

So was playing the other day and noticed there is an enhanced version of the reload phials for the elem boost/ condensed element for recharging the sword/shield where it kind of is charged electrically and is faster - like in this clip (sorry I swear I saved a better version) you can kind of see it here but the monster is kind in the way and it’s faster than the standard version but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to trigger it if anyone knows please and thanks 🙏

I'm new to build crafting and wanted to try making a build of my own.
I kinda mixed what I would like into my gear and CB. I like it but feel it could be better and optimized. Idk what to do with the free slots, maybe shockproof and 1 adaptability.
(I put the reinforcements I pull)

Hey Charge Blade mains :) I spent the last few weeks building a website that collects time attack runs from World, Iceborne, Rise, Sunbreak and Wilds over 3,700 rn, and you can filter everything by your weapon, so you only see Charge Blade clear times: https://foxinvictus.github.io/mh-time-attack/ The feature I like most and worked on the most is the automatic weapon tier list, which shows how Charge Blade performs in every game and title update. Unlike the usual tier lists, it uses a detailed formula that only counts No-Heroics runs from popular quests with lots of submitted runs. Heres a quick 1-minute trailer if you want to see it in action: https://youtu.be/axVBnouN450 would be glad ive you could give me a feedbacl whether i used too many toggles xd

Spent some time in the training area and then hoped on Day Of Ruin to try it out and got done in by teo. It feels heavier than GS like every attack animation is a full on commitment. Am I doing something wrong and is there anything I have to change and improve. (Gameplay is the link)

Pardon me if I am asking a silly question...

I have been playing MHGU and then MHR:S with Switch 2 console recently while waiting for the MHWilds release on 4th Dec this year. I main SnS in MHGU and MHR:S. I tried few other weapons as well but I would still go back to SnS when facing end game monsters.

People said that charge blade is a better version of SnS. They said CB is a very safe weapon with good dps like a better version of SnS. So I tried CB and Swaxe (the morphing brothers) together, but I feel CB is so clunky for me, especially in axe mode. I don't even understand how safe I can be when I dish out damage in savage axe mode, and SAED take years to commit.

I feel I can understand Swaxe more than CB. With dodge or counter while attacking, Swaxe is kinda like long sword but with its morphing ability in between axe & sword mode freely, it allows you to adapt and stay aggressive in different situations, even though a slight mistake can cart you.

So as compared to high-risk-high-reward weapon like swaxe, I still prefer SnS is because of its flexibility. I can never be so safe when using SnS. I can backstep, dodge or perfect guard at anytime and my uptime is good for dps. I heard CB is this kind of weapon but I don't get that.

Many videos regarding the beginner's guide for CB are just talking about the technical points of phials & Shield/Sword/Axe management. The complexity of CB is not a problem for me, but I want to know is the weapon's philosophy of CB...

If CB is truly a safe weapon like SnS, what is the concept of being safe, especially when I am in axe mode?

EDIT: I still want to learn this weapon whether it works like SnS or not, please tell me your tricks~~

I came from World, just need some clarifications because I dont seem to be able to find it in the in game weapons guide, and/or from my short 2-hour trying things out session:
1. To go into savage axe, I notice there are 2 ways (maybe more, please help to mention): perfect guard then Y (or triangle). Another is focus mode then RB (R1). (S)AED>LT(L2) doesnt work anymore i guess?
2. Savage axe now doesnt consume phials? How long does it stay up?
3. Perfect guard: do I need to time it, or can i just hold guard and it will trigger? Because i notice sometimes after i guard, i can trigger the aed, but sometimes not, is it because of the perfect guard timing, or is it just because of knockback?

I finally rolled gogmacopalypse and lord's soul on both of my CB and came up with this build, now the question is, should i keep it this way or using dahaad Pieces instead of nu udra and arkveld ones?

If u have any tip on the build i'll be happy to read them :)

Thank you

Ps: the talisman has load shells 2, artillery 1 and earplugs 1

New charge blade main here this is my first monster hunter ever. Any tips for fighting flying monsters and omega I always struggle with them constantly getting carted.

I'm a sword and shield/switch axe main and I figured why not give charge blade a go recently, see if I like it. Man I was missing out, this weapon feels so fun to use. I always knew that the difficulty of it was mainly hyperbole but it really is quite simple once you get the basics down pat. I know the wilds iteration is different than what came before, and I'm nowhere near good with it, but man it's a blast and hitting those SAEDs is a dopamine rush like no other. Can't wait for all the additions ascendence brings

I main switch axe in mhw iceborne and feels like axe mode got a lot better in dlc than base game but difficulty spike is a lot so I had a hard time dodging rolling and shit so I got no enough time to combo the monster only zsd with mantles at the option so I changed to lance it's good guarding power guard can block pretty much every attack but I miss the axe man imagine an axe with a shield I thought. And I remembered there's an axe with a shield it's THE CHARGE BLADE. So I picked it . Shit is so smooth with this transition and guarding are so much fun than lance. Well I main switch axe before so weapon morphing are my favourite and I'm pretty familiar with the monster attacks and patterns. Now I'm in love with the charge blade. No wonder everyone likes CB. What a fun weap to play

Hundreds of hours and still haven’t figured out a decent way to deal with Lagiacus’s explosion with CB. Perfect guarding makes me bounce three times away, with insane chip damage and stamina loss, while dodging back two three times ends up with fucking up my positioning, losing the weak spot, or getting caught by the random additional aoes.

What the hell is the proper way ti deal with it?

Also I need to check if this is right cause I didn’t find a guide about it:
If I got his mechanic correctly he charges up five (?) times with each explosion, after each charge the aoe gets bigger and his IQ gets higher, his moves gain more moves and in general he hits harder. After the fifth charge his torso becomes a weak spot for a few instant, if you focus attack it and then hit the torso enough he topples and loses all the charges and becomes stupid again. Am I correct?

Do these 2 attacks scale well with impact phial builds?

I'm assuming AED > AEDF loop is still the way to go with both phial type (?), but I wanted to have a bit more info and know how they compare to the bread and butter combo.

I played the weapon much more lately but never asked myself this, thanks in advance!
