CB guard points?

If I was able to do some more hunts today I wouldn’t be making this post. Can anyone tell me if there’s still guard points on the CB? Like swapping from sword to axe or at the end of the sword combo? Kinda doubt guard points will be incredibly useful in this game but it would be cool if they were still a thing. Oh while I’m at it, what skills has everyone been using? (Besides the obvious element up)
