Build Merits The Spread and Slashing Build we've recommended at the start of the HR 8 to 40 climb maintains its place at the current endgame of Monster Hunter Rise.

      Give us the ability to change our layered armor display. What I mean is, ya know how armor looks different on the male and female models? well, I wish there was the ability to change the appearance from the male models of armor, to the female models, and the reverse without changing the gender of your character itself. This would be really nice, as imo some armor pieces look better as the male model version.
