    How to Cure Abnormal Status Effects

    Know the Monster and Keep the Curing Items on Hand

    Use Items to Cure Status

    Always know which abnormal status effect a monster can give your hunter. Knowing this allows you to prepare the necessary cures before the hunt!

    Use Armor Skills that Increases Stun and Paralysis Resistance

    Since stun and paralysis inherently do not have cures, it is suggested to incorporate the resist skills into your armor builds! Take note however that this is only recommended for beginners because veterans can usually evade their way out of these attacks.

    How to Deal Abnormal Status Effects Against Monsters

    Use Status Weapons

    If your build focuses on inflicting abnormal status effects, use a status weapon that has fast multi-hits like the Dual Blades and Sword and Shield. This allows you to accumulate status onto a monster more quickly!

    Use Wyvern Riding Attacks

    Like elemental bights, some moves while riding a monster induces status eg. Rathian's somersault attack can inflict poison onto an opposing monster!

    Stun using Blunt Weapons
