Power Clash

[Cemre]

Hello everyone,

after 200+ Hours with my beloved Switch Axe, I decided to play with other Weapons. I am currently learning Great Sword but I dont understand how Power Clash work.

In Training Mode i couldnt puill it off. What do you need to do in terms of conidtion ? Does it only work against specific type of Monster ? What do you need to press ?

Thanks ^_^/

All you do is block attacks with sword (normal block or perfect guard is ok), then you need to wait for a very specific monster attack.
Like when arkveld retracts his chains to make a small blade on his arm and swings it at yoy, or with uth duna goes in for his lunging chomp attack.
Then just block the attack and mash y when the cutscene starts.
It has to be a very specific attack cause they didnt code a billion power clash animations for every attack lol.
I think only like 5 monsters have a power clash.

It's a meter that builds up on the monster, like stun or mounting. When you block you build up "clash damage" on the monster and when it fills up you can power clash with the monster. Timed blocks/parries build the meter more than just holding the button down. Although I have never been able to get more than one power clash on the monster, so the monster's "clash resistance" must go up by a lot after the first time.

Perfect block 2 times on a monster and it will happens... the 2nd one maybe never gonna happen because how fast monster die right now

The first time I used a GS I Power Clashed and became a convert. It's addictive. Cheers OP!
