Best Switch Axe build in Monster Hunter Wilds

A Switch Axe-wielding hunter in Monster Hunter Wilds.

If you're seeking the best Switch Axe build for Monster Hunter Wilds, you've no doubt been seduced by the only thing cooler than swinging around a big axe: swinging around a big axe that is also a big sword.

Switch Axe is somewhere in the middle ground of Monster Hunter weapon complexity. Axe mode offers high mobility and chunky hits, while Sword Mode slows your movement speed in exchange for high damage combos that build to explosive finishers. Juggling the playstyles and managing your meters takes some getting used to, but mastering the Switch Axe makes for some of the flashiest attacks in Monster Hunter.
