You can actually choose to sharpen your weapon even during the fight. However, this can be a bit risky as you are vulnerable to the attacks of the monster you are facing. The other thing you can do which affords a bit more security is to mount the Palamute. By doing this you will be on the move and thus can save yourself from the enemy’s attack.
Sharpening your weapon is necessary during the match. There are different levels of sharpness. The White Class is the highest with the rest coming in this order: Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Red. You should sharpen your weapon usually when it reaches orange.
