Crafted True Fatalis Charger and am currently in love with the Savage Axe damage. But theres a few problems.

Absolutely in love with savage axe but unfortunately I dont know how to stop sending my teammates flying. When I go into Savage Axe mode after 2 circle buttons I triangle so that I dont SAED but the triangle sends buddies flying. Is there a combo where that doesnt happen? I dont wanna be that guy in hunts.

Another question, why does charged sword mode last so short. I remember I went in the mode and like 15 seconds later (or atleast thats what it felt like) it was gone. Does something cancel charge sword mode? Savage Axe transition perhaps?

Any cool tips about this glorious weapon are appreciated.
