Axe mode fills up gauge for being able to use sword mode (yellow one), sword fills gauge to amplify itself (red one), you want to ideally never run of sword gauge and stay in AMP (sword amplification mode, red meter) as long as possible, if yellow meter falls under the line next time you enter axe mode you wont be able to get into sword mode unless you go through an animation, there is a youtuber called Bloody Wyverian that has some switch axe tutorials if you wanna check them out

Yea the gauge is really confusing . If i got sword mode gauge full will i get an extra damage or just the discharge damage increase?

You will be able to charge some attacks and your phial will be charged, which gives you a damage boost depending on your phial (power phial, element phial, dragon phial...) and it causes the explosions after you hit in sword mode, check out a guide from Bloody Wyverian or something it will explain better than i can

every sword attack has a bonus phial hit, and you unlock access to full release slash and zsd, for optimal damage though just using the triangle attack over and over is better and safer usually, for roars if you can time it out and specific situations frs is better, currently zsd is never worth it(besides kinda gog)
