Its all about getting those sweet elemental combos working together and honestly once you get the hang of it its super satisfying. The blades build up that fire effect when you string attacks together, and the axe does pretty much the same thing with ice which is really neat. What i found works best is getting that frost buildup going first with the axe, then switching to the blades for some extra punch - the fire damage just hits different when they're already frozen.

Something cool i noticed is that it works the other way too, like if you get them burning with the blades first, switching to the axe makes those ice hits absolutely crush them. Just remember that if you get hit while building up either effect, youll have to start over which can be kind of annoying at first but makes sense when you think about it.

Theres some pretty nice gear that makes this whole system even better, like that radiance armor set that gives you those slow-mo moments when you pull off the status effects just right. Been having a blast experimenting with different combinations, and honestly, the best part is how natural it feels once you get into the rhythm of switching weapons at the right time. Just keep an eye out for those status effect icons above enemies heads, and youll know exactly when to swap!
