The video provides an in-depth guide on maximizing DPS (damage per second) using the Switch Axe in Monster Hunter World, specifically targeting new players by simplifying complex mechanics. The Switch Axe operates in two modes: Axe for mobility and Sword for higher damage with a file system that boosts attacks. A significant feature is the "amp state" buff, which enhances damage and adds extra hits. Key combos discussed include strategies for high damage during incapacitated states, maintaining flexibility during movement, and quickly achieving the amp state for superior damage output. Concluding the guide, the creator highlights the weapon’s aggressive playstyle and invites viewer interaction and feedback.

In this part of the video, Project introduces his weapon guides for Monster Hunter World, focusing specifically on achieving the highest DPS (damage per second) through optimal combos rather than covering every move. He explains that most weapons have unique, high-damage attacks exploited by speed runners. Project’s guides aim to simplify the complex mechanics for new players.
For the Switch Axe, it’s a versatile weapon with two modes: Axe and Sword. Sword mode deals more damage and can’t be deflected, but requires energy replenished by Axe mode. The weapon features a file system enhancing sword mode attacks based on file type. Monster Hunter World introduced a new “amp state” buff that increases damage and adds extra hits when the gauge is filled. The segment highlights managing energy and maximizing damage through specific moves like the Element Discharge, which involves a powerful explosion and latching onto the monster when in amp state.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the mechanics and strategies involved in using the Switch Axe weapon effectively in a game. They explain the risks and rewards of latching onto a monster and triggering an explosion, noting the potential for high damage but also the long recovery time and the risk of being knocked off if the monster attacks. They highlight different combos:
1. **Combo One** – Provides the most damage when the monster is incapacitated and requires about 80% gauge energy to perform thrice.
2. **Combo Two** – Consumes less gauge energy and is simpler, alternating between two buttons, making it suitable when the monster is moving.
3. **Combo Three** – Focuses on quickly entering the “amp state” from zero and involves using the element discharge, which, despite reverting back to axe mode, ultimately allows for a strong attack to return to sword mode.
The creator emphasizes the importance of achieving the amp state as part of the main strategy due to its superior damage potential, despite the axe mode offering better movement speed.
