Monster Hunter Rise Receives New Trailers For “Great Sword” And “Switch Axe” Weapons

Worried about what weapons will suit you best in Monster Hunter Rise? Well, here are more helpful previews of some other equipment you can go into battle with!

Capcom has released more new trailers for the upcoming Monster Hunter Switch title, which launches 26 March 2021. This time, we get a closer look at both the Great Sword and Switch Axe weapon types – and the special techniques that players can pull off with them!

Take a look at them below:

Great Sword

Overwhelming, devastating power. The Great Sword delivers meaty chops with incredible force. Charge its attacks for even more damage!

“Power Sheathe” is a silkbind attack comprised of a quick Wirebug-assisted dash and a sheathing motion that boosts your attack for a short time.

Switch Axe

Mighty, transformative force. The Switch Axe boasts advanced technology to deliver multiple options:

  • Axe Form – Fluid motion and hefty hits.
  • Sword Form – Quick powered-up strikes.

Phial effects activated by the sword now also persist in axe form.

“Invincible Gambit” is a silkbind attack that fortifies the hunter, making them immune to flinching or being knocked back by even the fiercest of attacks.
