Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise) - How to Use Wirebugs: Wirebug Moves and Controls Banner

This a guide on how to use Wirebugs in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise). Read on to learn about Wirebug skills, moves and controls including Wirefall and how to hang, Silkbind attacks, and more!

What are Wirebugs?

New Tool for New Actions

MH Rise - Using Wirebugs in Kamura

Wirebugs are an exciting new tool introduced in Monster Hunter Rise. The Wirebugs give additional mobility to the player as well as give way to doing more actions such as dashing, dodging, and more!

Wirebug Charges

MH Rise - Wirebuge Gauge

Using Wirebugs consumes a gauge which can be seen on the lower center portion of your screen. The amount of gauge consumed varies per action. The same goes for the recovery duration, which automatically recovers on its own over time.

You will have two Wirebugs with you at all times. It is possible to temporarily increase the number of usable Wirebugs, up to four, by catching Wirebugs in the field and by equipping the Frenzied Bloodlust skill.

Reach New Heights

MH Rise - Great Wirebugs

You can find Jewel Lillies in the wild where you can place Great Wirebugs! With Great Wirebugs, you can shoot yourself upward at a long distance and reach very high places.

How to Get and Use Great Wirebugs

Start Wyvern Riding!

MH Rise - Wyvern Riding

Wirebugs are crucial for Wyvern Riding as it determines how long you ride a wyvern and each attack consumes a Wirebug gauge. Mastering this skill will make hunts easier for you!

How to Mount and Ride Monsters

Wirebug Skills

Skill Effect
Wirebug Whisperer Improves your handling of Wirebugs.
Redirection Perform a perfectly-timed Switch Skill Swap just as a monster attacks to reduce the damage and negate damage reactions.
Wall-Runner (Boost) Wirebug Gauge recovers faster while wall running.
Wind Mantle Using Silkbind attacks boosts Wirebug Gauge recovery. Landing continuous attacks increases the effect. Wears off when you sheathe your weapon.
Frenzied Bloodlust Temporarily gain an additional Wirebug when overcoming the Frenzy. The effect duration decreases drastically when your weapon is sheathed.

Wirebug Whisperer and Wind Mantle can speed up the cooldown of the Wirebug gauge. Redirection can immediately recover half a gauge when used at the right time. Frenzied Bloodlust is also notable for allowing you to hold up to 4 Wirebugs at a time. There's also a Wirebug Wrangler rampage skill that can extend how long you can hold an extra Wirebug.
