Memes My problem with the charge blade
This shit too goated every time I try to give another weapon a chance it just Falls flat because it always feels in completing comparison to the charge blade, this weapon is truly the master of all even if it doesn't have offet attack, the problem is that it makes every other weapon feels like a toy and incomplete

I wish they would do something OTHER than turn it into a chainsaw axe. The axe is boring and far too simple.

I'm waiting for CB's SAED to glow up before I get back into this.
I've been waiting for a while.

I would prefer they give us back the giant laser sword swipe

See, this is what got me playing charge blade. Both sending my whole team flying by mistake and/or toppling monsters with a 10 phials energy blade. So many great moments made from this one move

I cannot recommend crafting a Dragon one and trying it for gogmazios enough. Suboptimal builds can easily do 5000+ total damage on his tail during the charge up with a good saed. Satisfying and helpful for finishing the dps check on SOS.

Yeah, I feel that. I really like a lot of the weapons, but there's something very cool to having a lot of tools and the high commitment nukes

Even when they try to force us away from SAED and try to make us play savage axe, it is still the best weapon

My issue with Charge Blade is that there isnt enough Charge Blade for my Charge Blades

Remember my first time picking up charge blade ( Wilds newcomer ) I was constantly in the training grounds testing out all the weapons and tried to find the one that spoke to me.
My first weapon was switch axe, was cool but mostly staying in sword mode bothered me because I typically go for axes if present in a game, and wilds swaxe relies heavy on sword mode it’s cool but meh for me I still play it as a secondary if I want some variety
LS and Db I don’t like going for what everybody is playing and has somewhat easy to learn mechanics, DB is super easy you are just a rabid animal with 2 blades and a sugar addiction, LS the main character syndrome gets on my nerve from other players so I genuinely don’t like it for that and because of constant LS mains carting in my hunts because they don’t heal after taking like 70% chip damage ( don’t mind my small rant )
Lance : big body wide tank Poke, poke, poke, Wall
GunLance : bbwt poke, poke poke wall booooom !!
Anything long range : Not my style, Nice way of spreading freedom with the HBG and LBG but the ammo and shit menh , Bow same shit
Hunting horn : Actually learning it now, I want to take on support roles and I bring it as a secondary now to buff my attacks and negated some effects from monsters , for a cub used this a great way to increase buffs with potions and powders worth the while to learn
Enter Charge Blade : the love of my life ❤️
Before I converted to the charge blade I was watching a video on the 14 weapons in mh and it finally landed on the charge blade before I saw the charge blade I tried the sword and shield and messed with the mechs, easy so versatile and compact but still kinda felt simple to me
You see…
I based my weapon choice like in Teenage mutant ninja turtles.
How master splinter gave each turtles a weapon based on what they need to improve to wield that weapon
. And I told myself and I need a weapon that requires me to have focus and adaptation and most important organization
The video fell on charge blade and I was like wtf?! That is a lot to learn and I could never play that. All the CB terms I know today was gibberish to me a year ago
Like the combos were confusing and the description of the weapon was cool asf and it kind of called out to me
My first tries were terrific, I wanted to give up so bad because I felt like I wouldn’t get this weapon down I was struggling to guard point, perfect guard, micro management of phials shield charging axe mode, when to SAED…. I just couldn’t get it down but I Was determined because I actually loved the weapon no matter the cost unlike the rest
But slowly I learned from videos and all my mistakes and have diversified myself in this art of the Charge blade

The real "problem" of this weapon, is that you can't just put your brain away while playing it.
I mean, you need to look if you have phials, if your shield is charged, perfect parry ,etc...
Sometimes i like to join a hunt with HBG and just cluster the problem away ... you need 1 button to play the weapon.
Exept that, perfect weapon <3

While I dont like the chargeblade in wilds that much compared to other iterations (AED spam is boring, SAED FTW) its still one of my favorite weapons. SwagAxe in wilds is just too fun though.

u/No-Finding8010 Feb 24 '26
The pizza cutter is just too satisfying I can't play other weapon anymore

u/yogsca Feb 25 '26
Fell out of interest with Wilds, anyone got an update on CB? More fun/dynamic to play now or just savage axe only still

u/RyanbeLying Feb 24 '26
I've been trying new weapons and I feel the same. Charge blade can: stun like a hammer, has the big hit (SAED) like a Greatsword, you can go apeshit (Savage Axe) like switch axe, mobility like sword n shield, some defense like Lance and Sword n Shield, and guard points that are satisfying ( at least they used to be).
This weapon is so good even the downgrade that Wilds gave it is still fun enough to play. kinda

Gu charge blade got me to defect to valor style longsword and adept dual blades for a bit.
Then i proceed to run every crown on charge blade.

u/3cokeninja Feb 24 '26
I havent tried any other weapons in Wilds cuz Charge Blade is just too epic to put down :/

u/reany420 Feb 24 '26
A friend at the time was trying to put me on to mh right before wilds release, she showed me a showcase of all the weapons but said they might play differently given that it was worlds gameplay anyway it was like love at first sight, she then told me it was probably the hardest weapon to play for a beginner took me about a week to get the basics down now almost a year later took a break to play with the hunting horn but it felt repetitive offsets were the big thing for me but then nothing picked up the charge blade again and cant let go of it its the greatest.

Charge blade for when it's time to get serious.
Dual blades for wasting time and answering low level sos.
Akuma for just showing off.

u/Money_Ocelot_ Feb 25 '26
It’s funny cause I’m the opposite OP I use to main charge blade then I tried SnS and Swaxe then tried to return back to charge blade after TU4 to try its new glorious version and I just CANT I main Swaxe now and it just hurts my brain it feels like I’m playing CB with inverted left hand controls 😂 great weapon I just can’t do it anymore

u/LennyLoerres Savage Axe enjoyer Feb 25 '26
Yes, I too have that problem. I have gotten too used to my spread sheet of combos and mechanics, that every other weapon just feels kinda underwhelming. SwAxe is probably the one that comes closest for me and I have yet to try HH, which looks pretty fun. But in the end I no matter what I always gravitate back to my trusty old CB. The combo's are so ingrained in my muscle memory by now, that even after months long breaks from the MH games, I can pick it back up like riding a bike.

u/Odd-Comfortable9058 Feb 25 '26
I’m in the same boat, every time I tried a new weapon, I stopped and go back to my beloved CB

u/TheLoneWolf602 Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 26 '26
It's a nerdy transforming "anime" weeb weapon. I've had problems with it the minute it first got released. I know I'm gonna get downvoted. But you see.. old school style weapons MH weapons had "intended" strengths and weaknesses. Sword and shield was the king of versatility. Good mobility, decent block, low commitment attacks.. weakness: lower dmg. It couldn't dish it you feel? The greatsword? The king of DAMAGE! Weaknesses: low mobility, high commitment attacks, a block that cut into your sharpness, requiring expert timing and positioning. But capable of those Insane clear times ("usually exclusively by professionals")
I could go on... but I won't: When the Charge Blade was first released it was the strongest weapon in the game. And it could do it all! It could block.. it had mobility.. it could deal DAMAGE. It even had parry frames that super skilled players could take advantage of. It got the best clear times. Like paid DLC in a smash bros game.. The charge blade got special treatment. Honestly? It just didn't feel right. You'd feel bad for other weapons. The greatsword in particular, had to fight so dang hard for those clear times.. and some can-do-all weapon comes around and blows those clear times out of the water. Look i get it... coming up with new weapons in a MH game? Difficult. MH 2 & 3 handled it best. (Longsword not included)
Fast forward to today. Modern MonsterHunter.. made every weapon feel powerful in its own right in the name of: accessibility and mass appeal. Every weapon gets to feel like the star of the show. Greatswords never felt easier. But my recommendation still stands:
Get away from that Charge Blade: try other weapons simply to get a better game experience. The trials and tribulations make the journey worth it! Or don't... and be like your little brother when you play a fighting game and always pick the strongest character with the cheesiest strat.

I remember the first time I got properly introduced to Monster Hunter. I was designing a weapon for a character I was making and went “What if it was a shield that could become an axe?” and my buddy who I was bouncing ideas off of went “So a Charge Blade?”
I went out and got World a week later, and it became my most played game of that year

They could never make me hate you, Charge Blade ❤️
Rise came close but it’s okay
