Weapon description

1. A weapon similar to Charge Blade - this time, you get a combination of a great sword and an axe. Axe mode has a great range and lets you keep monsters at a distance. Sword mode allows you to deal a lot of damage.
2. The combination of two weapons give you a lot of options during fights. A lot depends on you - you can focus on using a Sword mode or switch between them and mix combos.
3. Each weapon has Phial Type - different versions slightly modify gameplay. For example, you can make your Sword attacks more powerful but once the bar is depleted your weapon reverts back to Axe mode and you are forced to wait a while.
4. You aren't very mobile while using this weapon. You have to use a lot of dodges and you are easy to hit. However, this is compensated by powerful attacks.

For whom is this weapon?

1. This weapon is hard to use. You have to learn how to switch between modes and how to use a fully charged Sword as much as possible.
2. Your attacks and moves are slow which means that you need to hit with great accuracy. A monster can easily hurt you if you use too much combos and stay in one place for too long.
3. Sword attacks are really powerful. Learn how to use this weapon well and you will be able to end hunts fast.
4. A great choice for those who want to use a powerful and effective weapon. Switching between the modes looks fantastic!

Conclusion: A rather difficult weapon to learn. However, it offers great damage but you have to sacrifice mobility of your character.

Useful combos

1. A basic Axe combo.

2. Perform a few swings with an Axe and switch to a Sword mode.

3. A good Sword combo, great for attacking a monster from a side.
