All elemental blights can be cured by using Nulberries so when fighting a monster with elements, always make sure to bring a full stack!
In case you forget to bring Nulberries, you can roll three times on land or once in water to get rid of Fireblight. It's probably the most dangerous elemental blight since it deals damage to you overtime!
There is a skill that provides resistance against blights called Blight Resistance. Use this method when being affected by blights is unavoidable! Take note though, this does not nullify damage—only the blight.
To nullify the damage while also negating the blight when you reach resistance 20 for that element, you can also equip specific element resistance skills:
Blight | Effects |

![]() |
• Monster will have reduced movement speed • No effect on exhausted monsters |
In Monster Hunter Rise, monsters can be afflicted by elemental blights by using the elemental Beetles in the map!
To easily induce blights to monsters, the following endemic life is scattered in the battlefield:
Endemic Life | Effect |
---|---|
Induces fireblight to the monster | |
Induces waterblight to the monster | |
Induces thunderblight to the monster | |
Induces iceblight to the monster |
While riding monsters using Wyvern Riding, some moves allow you to induce elemental blights to another monster e.g. Mizutsune's water breath attack (waterblight) and Rathalos' Mounted Punisher (fireblight)!

Always know which abnormal status effect a monster can give your hunter. Knowing this allows you to prepare the necessary cures before the hunt!
Since stun and paralysis inherently do not have cures, it is suggested to incorporate the resist skills like Stun Resistance and Paralysis Resistance 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.

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!
Like elemental bights, some moves while riding a monster induces status e.g. Rathian's somersault attack can inflict poison onto an opposing monster!
Blunt weapons like the Hammer and Hunting Horn can inherently stun and exhaust monsters when hit on the head. Alternatively, the Bow's Exhaust Coating can also induce exhaust.
There is certain endemic life like the Poisontoad and items like Tinged Meat that induces status effects!
