Your Weapon is Trying to Tell You Something When it Starts Glowing


The learning curve of the intricate Charge Blade weapon system is in-depth. Much Like Keanu Reeves' “Whoa”, you will be left to master the weapon while being pummeled by monsters

switching back from the said weapon’s two modes; Savage Axe Mode and the Sword and Shield Mode. These builds should help make your training journey a little less painful or if you’ve already mastered some Charge Blade techniques hopefully these builds will just be more icing on the Savage Axe spamming and elemental phial discharging cake.
