Charge Blade Gameplay Tips |
---|
|
The main gimmick of Charge Blade is accumulating Sword Energy by attacking enemies while in Sword Mode, charging the phials with the Sword Energy, and using them to enhance the Axe Mode attacks.
Check the phial icons on the top left of your screen to see how much Sword Energy you've accumulated, which also indicates how many phials will be filled after charging.

3 Phials | |
5 Phials | |
Overcharged Your attacks will bounce off when overcharged. Charge immediately to transfer the energy to your phials. |
Once you have charged phials ready, you can morph your weapon to Axe Mode and start dishing out damage! You can then use enhanced attacks in Axe Mode to deal increased damage by consuming phials.
The number of phials consumed by these attacks depends on the move used, as some Axe Mode attacks, like the Super Amped Elemental Discharge (SAED), empties all five phials in one go. When you're out of phials, make sure to switch back to Sword Mode to charge them again.
Phial Type | Effect |
---|---|
Element | Enhances elemental attacks in Axe Mode for a longer time. |
Impact | Enhances physical attacks in Axe Mode for a short time. |
There are two types of Charge Blade phials: the Element Phials and Impact Phials.
Charge Blades with Element Phials allow you to deal more elemental damage in Axe Mode and usually have playstyles that revolve around SAED spams. Using Impact Phials, on the other hand, boosts physical damage, which also makes it easier to stun enemies especially when hitting weakpoints.
