Similar to Switch Axe, Charged Blade in the game has two different modes: Sword Mode and Axe Mode. Each of these modes has its own strengths, weaknesses, and knowing when to use which one can go a long way. In this Monster Hunter Rise guide, we’ve detailed everything about Charged Blade, its controls, skilbind attacks, and best combos.
Monster Hunter Rise Charged Blade
Sword Mode in the game provides increased defence, mobility, and attack. Axe Mode, on the other hand, provides things like more powerful attack, increased range, and phial’s bonuses. As mentioned earlier, using a Charged Blade requires a bit of practice. First of all, let’s go through the basic controls for using the Charged Blade effectively:

When it comes to Skilbind Attacks, first of all, we’ve got the Morphing Advance. It uses a Wirebug to switch to Axe form using the Charged Blade. During the animations, players are completely immune to all knockback and stun effects. Counter Peak Performance readies the shield when completely refills all the phials whenever the shield takes any damage. Lastly, the Counter Peak Performance can be switched out by the Axe Hopper that propels players upward in order to land a devastating Elemental Discharge.
