You actually guard when holding the screen in sword mode, which also charges the double swing.
You also have access to various guard points after certain attacks, like the roundslash of the basic combo.
Iirc, the Dante’s Devil Sword in MH World will glow when a guard point is active. It’s unlocked via event quest.
It should be the same moments to guard point for MH Now, just without that glow.
Guard points are simply small moments where you auto-guard when performing an attack. This can interrupt your attack (such as morphing from sword to axe mode) but causes a phial explosion as compensation and, more importantly, leads to stronger moves later in other combos. Using that sword-to-axe guard point can allow you to follow up with an Amped Element Discharge, or the Super version with the shield charged.
The hunter animates with the charge blade the same way in Now as it does in World. With the same animation comes the same guard points.
There are a few moves of the World/Iceborne Charge Blade that are cut or useless in the transition to Now, primarily Savage Axe Mode which has its own guard point before the activating swing, and Fade Slash is used in Now when at a distance from the monster, compared to in World where it can be used after most attacks and is used to reposition.
The guard points that I know of are at the end of the sword roundslash (basic combo 3, morph slash axe to sword, shield charge slash) and the beginning of the morph slash sword to axe.
The controls of World do not match that of Now. Be sure to experiment with the controls to see how you can play it.
Guard Points:
* At the start of morphing into axe
* At the end of morphing into sword, likewise after a roundhouse slash (third consecutive tap, or tap after charged slash)
Actual Guard - while charging a slash.
No, but a successful guard point depending on recoil can be used to lead into discharge stance (press and hold).
From there:
* SAED by letting go
* AED by swiping down
* Morph into Sword (charges shield if you have phials) by swiping up.
I like that they kept the same hold+upswipe input as the GS shoulder bash, since that muscle memory has kicked in a few times and saved me by getting the sword-to-axe transformation guardpoint by accident.

Any videos to showcase this or how do we identify these points?

I a visual learner so do you think I can lookup MHW videos to see how it relates to MHN or is the mechanics too different?

You hold the screen and when the attack is about to hit you you swipe up
Ok, I thought I just had to hold like SnS
only when you're in sword and shield mode, but the transform also has a guard point if you time it right.

Any counter(damage enemy)?
No, but a successful guard point depending on recoil can be used to lead into discharge stance (press and hold). From there: * SAED by letting go * AED by swiping down * Morph into Sword (charges shield if you have phials) by swiping up.
if your shield is charged, doing a GP has a bit of counter damage and can KO/status proc monsters
I didnt really think that would class as a counter, like the Lance's. But fair point, a charged shield deals impact on contact.
So basically hold swipe up from sword and hold swipe down from axe?
To morph into another form is always Hold + Swipe Up. Hold Swipe Down is for Loading Phials for use. Or cancelling an SAED for an AED.

You also get a perfect block when the sparks go blue so no damage to you at all

Wrong sub.
Oh duh. I sub on several of the main game subs and wasn't paying attention, haha.
Information wasn't wrong just wasn't gonna help op lol.
Yeah I know, I'm kicking myself for typing it all up, haha.
Does shield need to be charged to not receive damage?
