Hybrid forms are usually used temporarily. Such as for example, her weapon is in singular chainsword form and she stabs her enemy in the guts and then she wanted to shoot her enemy while they're close for a direct high damage. To do that she can retract the crossbow limb and string while the blade still piercing enemy's gut.

Why not always use Hybrid form?

Because hybrid form halved the potent of singular form. Example when on Chainsword+Crossbow, the swordsmanship is reduced because the crossbow limb is getting in the way and risked in breaking down. Then aiming will be reduced too because the handle is not comfortable to aim as well as she cannot use her other hand for balancing the aim because the blade razor is getting on the way.
