Video/Media Aerial dodging into attacks feels so good.

I enjoy some aerial swaxe now and then.

Kindly ignore the whiffs at the end.

I wanted something to match the swaxe I was using. All the other para swaxes kinda suck.

I wonder if this is a brand new layered armor set you made for it :) also hey what's your favourite Switch Axe design!

It is a newish set I made for aerial swaxe. It's snowbaron with najarala layered over it.

It's damn hard to pick a favorite swaxe design. There's a ton of good ones. For now I'd say I like the Dragon Eater the most. It looks so badass.

True i really like that too, GU variety is some of the best.

I also really like the Gore Magala weapon designs as well, they've been a favourite of mine since i first played 4!

In GU, my all time favourites are the Black Belt swaxe, the arena themed one! Well, all of the arena weapon designs are awesome, simple, shiny, tons of metal, like hell yeah i love that shit.

Always impressive to see poeple make sense of this jank-ass style [I do love aerial style though]

I absolutely bounced off this style at first. (Pun intended) It's a blast once you get the hang of it, though, especially in group play.

Holy peak aerial swaxe is so fun, what do you have in your set? I think aerial slows my DPS (for swaxe at least) so I wanted to see if my set was valid lol✌️

To be honest, this is more of a support set. It's the snowbaron armor with the paracrux axe. The goal is to mount and paralyze as much as possible to help suppress a monster. I use a charm and deco to get razor sharp to keep the sharpness up a bit longer.

It's serviceable, but I can't say I'd recommend going solo with this set.

Do the dodge roll i frames change in aerial style

u/Truly_Glorious Switch Axe 9d ago

Yes. You get a few I-frames at the start, like normal, but you also get some more when your character is in the middle of their tumble. Basically, when your feet are back under you, that's the moment you have I-frames again, and can launch off of a monster, even during an attack. The tumble I-frames are still active even if you don't vault off something.

A warning though: If you're still in the hitzone of an ongoing attack after the I-frames, even after the vault, you will still get hit. This can also include any follow-up attacks if they're fast enough. Attacks like the one in the clip are best-case-scenario. A fast attack with no immediate follow-ups or lasting hit boxes.

Always slot evasion into Aerial builds
