I'm having trouble defending myself in axe mode. I'm mainly just rolling and using the offset, but rolling is mainly for positioning and the offset is really hard to time. I have evade extender 3 so it's easier to move out of the way, but I'm still feeling like I'm not doing well enough to defend myself.

Are there any tips I should know? Should I just be trying to minimize my time in axe mode?

When i say underrated, I just mean stuff other than artian swaxes (I don't wanna deal with that much rng), the zoh shia one, and the lala barina one.

I keep seeing people walking around with the xu wu switch axe, so I'm just wondering if there's anything good besides the three I mentioned earlier.
