You may be right, I only played rise/unbreakable for about 150 odd hours, and didn’t dive too deeply into the switch skills outside of charge blade.
I believe from memory I swapped it to the one that came with sunbreak because it was more fun to me.
Saying all that I do like that the echo aoes are being brought into wilds, and at the end of the day, everyone should be playing the weapon(s) they find fun, in the ways they find fun.
The witness is a really interesting puzzle game that can be had for not that much.
Or if you are looking for something more actiony then I would recommend remnant: from the ashes or remnant 2. Described as souls like with guns, but they really change up the formula I found with semi random worlds and bosses.
