Capcom has released new videos for the DLC Iceborne in Monster Hunter World. The new moves of the Switch Axe and Charge Blade are showcased, and they are impressive.
What are these videos about? Capcom published two new mini-trailers for the expansion Iceborne. They demonstrate new moves for two of the 14 weapon classes: Switch Axe and Charge Blade.
Where do the videos come from? The videos originate from the official website of Monster Hunter World. More videos showcasing new moves are already listed there. We have embedded the English versions from the official Twitter account of Monster Hunter World in the article.
This is shown in the Switch Axe trailer
Highlights: The hunter uses the new Grasp Claw to jump onto the head of the Anjanath and immediately goes into the attack. The narrator in the video mentions that the hunter charges the axe at the same time.
What is the Switch Axe? The Switch Axe can switch between an axe mode and a sword mode. The axe mode is powerful and has a long reach, while the sword mode is fast and delivers explosive finishing blows.
This is shown in the Charge Blade trailer
Highlights: The hunter uses the slinger with the drawn Charge Blade, which was previously only possible with Sword & Shield. This makes the Charge Blade even more versatile, and the hunter attacks directly onto the Uragaan.
A new brutal axe strike is also shown, which gives the swing of the axe “a new twist” and deals more damage.
What is the Charge Blade? The Charge Blade seamlessly switches between its mobile “Sword & Shield” mode and the powerful axe mode. Energy absorbed from the Sword & Shield can be unleashed with the axe, causing additional damage.
Will there be more new moves?
Yes, Capcom has extensively reworked the weapons for Iceborne. This is also related to the new Clutch Claw, which enables new moves. There will also be new armors and completely new weapons, as new monsters are coming to Iceborne.
Capcom has already released a series of trailers showcasing new weapons, armors, moves, and details about the Clutch Claw, which you can see here:
