Basic skills of charging blades

Although it seems complicated, the core mechanism of the charging blade is actually very simple.

The bottle is the key to the charging blade, which determines your additional damage. In sword mode, attacking monsters will passively accumulate bottles, with a total of five stages:

• Empty bottle (gray): no bottle
• Yellow bottle : Three bottles are full
• Red Bottle : Five bottles are full
• Overcharged red bottle (bright red): The bottle is overcharged, and the attack will rebound
• Strengthened yellow bottle (bright yellow): The bottle's attack power is increased, and it stores energy while storing more energy during attack.

After filling the bottle (at least yellow bottle), switch to axe mode to attack. In axe mode, use attribute liberation to attack monsters. Each version of attribute liberation will consume the bottle and increase the bottle explosion effect, thereby increasing the attack power. The number of bottles consumed by different attacks is different. For example, Attribute Jiefang I consumes 1 bottle, and Super Enhanced Attribute Jiefang consumes all 5 bottles.

Below the blood bar, close to the bottle meter, there are three icons that represent three gain states:

First, accumulate the bottle and then activate the attribute enhancement to enhance the shield in sword mode. This will allow you to activate Sword Enhancement Mode to enhance Sword Attacks. You will also gain enhanced defense and the ability to use super-enhanced attributes Liberation Axe mode skills.

Power Axe mode is the last icon to be activated. It can be activated in three ways: perfect defense and convert to slash attack into power axe mode; perform riding weapon finishing skills; and performing a gas-gathering attack on monster wounds. The riding final skill and the energy-gathering attack will automatically enter the axe mode and activate the force axe mode to reduce the bottle consumption of the attribute liberating attack.

Charging blade skills and strategies

After mastering the bottle and gain status, you also need to learn some extra skills.

The charging blade strikes a balance between reliable defense and aggressive attack. You need to defend first to accumulate bottle and gain status, and once all of this is ready, do damage as quickly as possible. The game loop is simple: get the bottle and gain status as soon as possible, switch to axe mode, and then consume the bottle for attribute liberation attacks. Repeat this process afterwards and cause damage regularly during combat.

In Axe mode, you might think that the bottle's damage will decrease with the sharpness of the weapon, but this is neither correct nor completely correct. Bottle damage is not affected by the sharpness of the weapon, but when the sharpness is low, the number of damage and explosions triggered by the axe mode will be reduced. This is great if you are under pressure from monsters, because as long as you have some bottles in axe mode, you can still deal some damage to monsters, but you still need to regularly replenish the sharpness of the weapon to ensure maximum damage output.

The Charging Blade is a powerful weapon similar to a sword and shield. It has amazing offensive and defensive capabilities. The only downside is that it may be difficult to learn at the beginning, especially if you don't go to the training ground to practice some unique moves. The key to the charging blade is to provide buffs for each part of the weapon to enhance offense and defense, and then charge all bottles to a maximum to ensure your axe mode can quickly cut the monster's health.
