In addition if you miss an A sweep completely, say, by sweeping under a monsters chin when trying to hit its head, you’ve lost far more damage than using X instead. My calculations are purely motion value based and don’t account for accuracy or human error. Likewise, it is not uncommon to miss as your sword raises during Discharging. If you are 100% accurate with X it may still edge out the more inconsistent accuracy of A. Lastly, it should be mentioned that it is considerably more difficult to consistently target a monster weak spot with sweeping A attacks. Without Riot up Chopping comes out on top. With Demon Riot up Discharge Cancelling wins with Quick Cancelling coming close second. Edit: It has come to my attention that vault attack spamming and, by extension, vault attack discharge cancelling is actually fairly high MPS. Note: A>A for Striker is the same as X>A for other styles (ie, Down Slash (32) > Side Slash (28)).Ĭancelling is unavailable to Aerial Style users as Elemental Discharge has been moved to an aerial attack.
For any opening longer than 6.1 seconds Discharge Cancelling beats it out. Slash Discharging is the highest damage combo possible for Striker but prevents continuous DPS after 1 combo. Quick Cancelling is a fantastic option for when you aren’t sure your attack window allows for Discharging it is high MPS and maintains the ability to roll out at very short notice. Slash Discharging is never worth doing – it is weaker and prevents continuous DPS after 1 combo.
Slash Discharge (Striker): A > X+A > X*6 > Complete Discharge > Disengage 6.1 SecondsĪssuming we are equipped with a pure physical Power Phial Switch Axe.ĭischarge Cancelling is the highest damage combo available to Guild Style by a decent margin. Slash Discharge: A > A > X+A > X*6 > Complete Discharge > Disengage 7.9 Seconds
#MHGU PITFALL TRAP FULL#
Full Elemental Discharge: X+A > X*6 > Complete Discharge > Disengage 6.4 Seconds Thus, if your attack opening is longer than the animations for these combos you would be losing damage by performing them. Again, after a full Discharge we are forced back in to Axe Mode making efficient follow up DPS impossible. However, by opening with an A slash (like in Cancelling) we can enter Discharge without the lengthy startup animation which improves the MPS value to competitive levels. It also forces you in to Axe Mode so it is generally a catastrophic DPS loss. It takes 6.4 seconds to perform a Full Elemental Discharge and it deals 40 MPS over this duration with Power Phial and Demon Riot up.
Striker Discharge Cancel: A > X+A > X*6 > A Cancel > Repeatįull Elemental Discharges / Slash Discharging Quick Cancel: A > A > X+A > Immediate A Cancel > Repeat Discharge Cancel: A > A > X+A > X*6 > A Cancel > Repeat Quick Cancelling is initiating an Elemental Discharge then immediately cancelling out of the first stab motion with an A input before any of the mini discharges happen. In the case of Discharge Cancel we initiate the discharge, hit X until all 6 mini blasts go off, then cancel out with an A input. This is when we initiate an Elemental Discharge mid combo but instead of finishing with the final explosive blast we cancel out of it with another A input. So which is it? Does Axe chopping beat Sword swinging? By how much? Do we need power phials and demon riot to make it worth it? Well, let’s see…īase (No Power Phial or Demon Riot) Combo I’ve heard it said that the infinite axe chop combo is one of the highest DPS attacks in the game but I’ve also heard that Sword mode beats everything now because of Demon Riot. Scroll to Conclusion section for details.Īfter putting together a nicely formatted list of MHGen motion values for the Switch Axe I decided to put those numbers to use and try to figure out what exactly is the highest DPS combo we can do to a monster in an extended opening like a pitfall or trip.
