#MONSTER HUNTER 4 ULTIMATE WEAPON TREE CHARGE BLADE FREE#

Congratulations! You’ve buffed your sword and shield for the Charge Blade, now master it in combat.Ĭharging these both up, and then further charging your phials, will give you the highest damage output in axe form you can get, with a very satisfying Elemental Discharge attack should you land it.When it comes to successfully slaying the creatures of Monster Hunter: World, preparation is key. Notice that now your sword icon is glowing yellow in the upper left. You’ll see a three tiered animation of the shield enclosing around the sword, followed by an overhead slash when you let go. While your shield is charged from the process outlined above, press R2 but instead of pressing only circle as you would to charge the phials, hold down triangle and circle together. Now that you have your shield energized, time to move on to your sword. Instead press R2 during the animation and you’ll see the phials empty and your shield icon begin to glow pink as you pull out of the attack. In axe form you’ll want to start the Amped Element discharge attack (triangle and circle together) but DON’T LET IT FINISH. You can shift as many phials into your shield as you want, however the extent of the buff extends with each phial you add, so aim for five. You’ll start by charging up your phials as explained above. You’ll want to practice this move a few times in the training field or fighting a low tier monster before you pull it out against the big boys as it’s fairly complex. There’s a reason this is under advanced tactics however.

In addition to using your vials in the great axe attacks, you can also shift that energy back into your sword and shield for an extended buff to your damage done in that state, while simultaneously emptying your vials to free up space for extra energy. Once all your phials are out, time to get back to work charging. You can also use a combination of triangle and circle that will deal massive damage in an animation that will have you end back in Sword and Shield form. In this state any attacks using circle will deal additional damage, while simultaneously using 1 vial per attack. You’ll morph into your axe form by pressing R2 and then triangle simultaneously. Now that you have more pent up energy than an enraged Odogaron, it’s time to put that axe to work. At this point your weapon will bounce off anything it hits until you store that energy. A few swings past red and they will fill red, indicating overcharge. Be careful about pushing it too far though. Once in this state, all five vials will be charged when the energy is stored. You can either store this energy by pressing R2 followed by circle, or you can continue swinging until they glow red.

At some point you’ll notice the vials will be glowing yellow, at this point you are ready to charge three of your vials.

You’ll begin by hitting the monster in your sword and shield state. The goal of the Charge Blade is to *cough* charge the vials and then use them in attacks in the great axe form for additional damage. You’ll notice in the top left corner when using the weapon, icons of a sword shield and 5 vials. In this case it’s two states being a sword and shield and a great axe. The Charge Blade, like the Switch Axe, has two states it can switch between ala Bloodborne.
