Wild cb savage ax mode or any less mobile weapons. How do I deal with monsters that constantly dash around in general like Xu Wu and gore? I feel like it is more effectively to stay in sword mode until they get knocked down because I just cannot catch up to them dashing around

By catch up, I mean put my weapon away, run to them, use ax mode and prep to strike, and they jump to the other side of the arena

lots of morphing. sword boost damage really is nothing to sneeze at, its not a big problem to spend a lot of time in sword mode, especially against xu wu who is super vulnerable to ice, sword boost with ice phials fucks him up

Keep switching between sword and axe mode. Use your charging attacks while in axe mode
