Switch Axe Help

[Laih]

I'm kinda new to Switch Axe.
Whenever I use the big discharge explosion attack my Character goes back to Axe mode. And when I want to switch back to sword mode my Character does a long animation by punching the axe mode axe. Can I prevent that animation or do I have to do it everytime?

In the middle of the Sword icon, under your healthbar, is a meter called the Sword meter. If this meter goes lower than the white line it will turn purple and when you try to morph to Sword Mode you will do a reload animation. To prevent this just use the Switch Skill "Switch Charger". When doing this move you will get 10 (stationary) i-frames, move a bit and regenerate about half of your Sword Meter. It also prevents the sword meter from going down for a short time. The Sword Meter also slowly regenerates on its own. You should never do a reload animation, instead just use Switch Charger.

You have to do it if you are trying to use sword before the axe is charged again (Only way to charge it without having to reload is attacking with the axe form till the bar is half full). Only way to get around it is to use the switch charge ability before using sword again..

If yiure in Sunbreak, you can also use the new 2 step morph (or whatever its called) to regenerate the gage as well.
Do the usual wild axe swing and then press r2/zr to morph into sword mode.
I haven't used it much, so I may be remembering it wrong

Another option is when you use your morph button during sword form combos, the return to axe will also refill some Sword Meter. Your morphs are also your strongest attacks, so using them in conjecture with ZSD can help with maintaining good Sword Meter upkeep.
May I ask if youre in Base Rise or Sunbreak?
