In World, it is considered to be one of the more technical weapons, not only with other morphers, but Hunting Horn and Bow as well. Other morphers include insect glaive, charge blade, and Frontier's tonfas and magnet spikes. Lore-wise, the Switch Axe is a morpher-class weapon, meaning it has the ability to change it's own properties during combat. It has been slowly grown stronger in every title since it's addition, eventually reaching where it is now in World, nine years later. The Switch Axe, also known as the Slash Axe in Japan (スラッシュアックス Surasshuakkusu) was first added to Monster Hunter in Monster Hunter 3 in 2009. Described as a marvel of technology capable of phantasmagorical might." - Official Switch Axe Description "A powerful melee weapon, capable of such momentum that the hunter swinging it is dragged around by the momentum of each swing. This guide is simply to show you what is the best option. You can use any Switch Axe you want, any skills you want, etc. If there's a Switch Axe you see on here that isn't shown, it could simply much more niche for it's own good, or simply beaten by something else. I want to also say something very important: The weapons here are simply the Best in Show choices for Switch Axe. By "meta" I mean "can be very powerful in most situations". I also want to note that I use the term "meta" rather loosely. I'm hoping that the information gets across well, and if there are questions or tips, or something I just plain missed, please let me know! I also wish to apologize if the formatting gets funky, Steam Guides only allows so many characters per section, so I had to get REALLY creative with formatting. A lot of places online, such as Reddit or the Neogaf forums also have wrong information, or conflicting information on Switch Axe as well, so I did a lot of research on Switch Axe in World before and while working on this guide. However, I see people rarely using it in World, and after looking at the Steam forums, have come to the conclusion that there really isn't a good spot to talk about "What is good about Switch Axe?". I loyally have stuck with it since then, and love it in World. I personally love this weapon, ever since it had to be unlocked from the Argosy in Monster Hunter 3 back in 2010. The Switch Axe is one of 14 Weapons available in Monster Hunter World.
