User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Switch Axes/@comment-4969421-20120901145754

I started using SA not a very long time ago, and I must say they are not among my favorite weapons. In my opinion, they are difficult to use and without evade skills you can get owned in a very short time. Although I don't a very big fan of Switch Axes as I said, the uppercut attack in Axe mode can be very useful: It can reach tails, weak parts and flying monsters. (Take this, Rathalos!) Just try to do not hit anyone while you perform this attack.

1.-In my opinion, the Cea Switch Axe is the best. It's cool looking, and perfect for Alatreon and other monsters weak to water. Unluckily, I can't get it because I need a mutherfucking Deep Dragon Gem. Alatreon's Black Harvest is also very cool.

2.-I'd like to have all weapons in 4, so yes.

3.- I prefer Axe Mode over Sword Mode, because it has more movements and you move faster. I don't like slow weapons that can't block.

4.-I'm not a pro with Switch Axes so I think I can't answer this one. Hm, I always use Barioth+ armor with axes, so I think fire monsters can be annoying while fighting them.

5.-Switch Axes are perfect for tail-cutting. Although they aren't the best IMO, they can be very useful. If a hammer stuns the monster, the tail can be done in 3 mins. Other weapons that are kinda useful when cutting tails are Lances and Longswords.

A small tiny question here... Why the hell is "SA" banned in Tri!? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
