for those that dont know, you can stop spamming triangle to jump off faster and avoid the long recovery animation. Usually u do this 1 dmg tick before the explosion, this gives you x2 faster recovery animation. Which this speedrun did not do most of the time (only to avoid pin attacks)
Even before I purchased World in February of this year, I had been looking at the game and the Switch Axe in Particular. I mained it all throughout the base game and used it in the beginning of Iceborne, but for some reason its lack of mobility and slow hits in axe mode started turning me off. It was Glavenus who finally turned me off to my beloved Swag Axe. I picked up Hammer and mained it all through Iceborne, even solo killed Alatreon with it. Upon Fatalis's release, I once again attempted to fight him with Hammer, but its slow hits and short range made the fight absolutely impossible for me. Not to mention, he can't be KO'd by conventional means, so my Brachydium/Frostfang Agitator/Slugger Secret build was made completely useless. I needed a weapon that possessed speed and range with high DPS, and the only weapon like that which I had experience with was Switch Axe, and I just so conveniently had enough Alatreon materials to forge and upgrade the Black Harvest. Not only have I been getting consistent team slays now, but I have just now gotten my first solo Fatalis slay. I can't believe I ever put this weapon down.
woho, road to sub 10 swaxe :) great job do you have your runs before having the fatalis equipment maybe ? or could you share the build you had ? thanks
