Most powerful switch-axe

[MikiMleam]

I always wondered what's the most powerful switch-axe, i use the black diablos switch-axe (and i'm planning to upgrade the attack with the kirin's AT quest (even i'm not sure if i should use the cure upgrade))
The base attack is 805 and 823 with the upgrade, using the non-elemental boost this grow to 885 (this axe have only one slot to upgrade)
There is a most powerful switch-axe than this that i can use to any monster?

Current best SA is probably the Luna Styx one. With white sharpness+Razor Sharp solving the main issue for SA you can consecrate the rest of your build to maxing out the deeps.

/end thread tbh

Plus, the Styx SA doesn't have negative affinity either, so you don't have to compensate for that.

Current highest dps SAs for each elder on PC:

Kulve Taroth:
Phases 1,2 and 3: Taroth Axe Thunder.
Phase 4: It's mostly a tie between Terror Tyrannis and awakened Taroth Horn, with Horn slightly in the lead. Styx is right behind them and can win depending on Blast procs.

Kushala Daora: Luna Styx

Kirin: Taroth Axe King

Vaal Hazak: Taroth Axe King

Nergigante: Luna Styx

Teostra: Luna Styx

Lunastra: Terror Tyrannis

I'm not a min maxer but I think the best SwAxes are Diablos, Jho and Luna Styx.

Diablos is good everywhere but requires to much handicraft and sharpening.

Jho is strong and is great against monsters weak to dragon and when you want elderseal (is even good against 2* weakness). Is also more flexible than Diablos' because it doesn't need too much handicraft.

Luna Styx is great against almost all monsters (almost everyone of them is at least 2* weak to blast).

I also love the Taroth Paralisis, it is pretty fun and against Diablos and Odogaron is great. Is also good against monsters with 2* weakness. The Barroth SA is also a good paralisis one but not as good as Kulve's.

About augmentation, the best is always health regen if you are not speed running.

It's going to depend on what you're after:
Highest Raw damage with NEB is going to be either Axe of Demons (Black Blos) or Taroth Axe "Horn". Augement both for affinity.
Terror Tyrannnos (Jho) is the best dragon element SA. Honestly, dragon is the only element really worth going after, and this beats out Nerg's.
Taroth Axe "Paralysis" is extremely power due to it's extremely high paralysis rate, I'm able to paralyze Kulve 5 times per quest.
Empress Axe "Styx" is extremely powerful due to it's slots, affinity, and having Razor Sharp.
Empress Axe "Ruin" is also extremely strong with health augment, but only works well if you can make a Master's Touch mixset.
I also have blueprinted a Vaal Hazak Y mixset that heavily uses Ruin with Health Augment that can hit 100% affinity.
