In this simple guide, we present all the “final forms” of each Switch Axe in its weapon tree in Monster Hunter World. Basically, a searchable, filterable, compressed way to compare all the fully upgraded Switch Axes.
I will be adding my own insights on answering questions such as “What is the best X elemental Switch Axe?” or “What is the best Y status Switch Axe?” soon as well.
Sharpness? I’m working on the BEST way to present this data. Hang on!
