Best Dango Combinations

Master Rank - Defensive

General Survival Set

Dango	Effect	Activation Rate
Super Bestnut	Dango Defender (Hi): Often decreases damage taken.	85%
Magnacrisp	Dango Moxie: Prevents fainting one time when damage taken exceeds your remaining health. Dango Adrenaline: Greatly increases attack when health is dangerously low.	60%
Self-Kelp	Dango Defender: Whenever you take a set amount of damage, damage from the next hit is reduced.	80%
Tips from Game8	Super Bestnut is useful since it reduces damage taken just like Divine Blessing. Magnacrisp can keep you from fainting a single time if you happen to get unlucky and stacks with Guts. Self-Kelp is also great for surviving against monster combos thanks to its damage reduction. If you're having trouble with your health, you can swap out one of the dangos with Hide-and-Seek Dango which helps recover your health over time. Chirp Chirp can be useful to buff yourself with Spiribirds more easily before a hunt.

Health Drain Counter Set

Dango	Effect	Activation Rate
Hide-and-Seek	Super Recovery Dango: Gradually recovers health over time when discovered by a large monster.	60%
Magnacrisp	Dango Moxie: Prevents fainting one time when damage taken exceeds your remaining health. Dango Adrenaline: Greatly increases attack when health is dangerously low.	60%
Mint-iature	Dango Booster: Temporarily increases attack and defense after consumption, once.	70%
Tips from Game8	Sunbreak introduces several skills like Dereliction, Bloodlust, and Berserk that drain health in exchange for different bonuses. One way to mitigate the drain is through Super Recovery Dango which is very useful at Level 4. Dango Moxie can be taken at Level 3 to ensure that you have some health restored when it's used up, but it can be substituted with Super Bestnut or Self-Kelp based on preference. Dango Booster is all around a good option to round out the set as it boosts both offense and defense.

Master Rank - Offensive

General Melee Set

Dango	Effect	Activation Rate
Super Bestnut	Dango Defender (Hi): Often decreases damage taken.	85%
Mint-iature	Dango Booster: Temporarily increases attack and defense after consumption, once.	70%
Spud-luck	Dango Weakener: Large monster encountered on quests have an increased chance of being weaker than normal.	90%
Tips from Game8	A straightforward dango set that balances offense with defense. Spud-luck is good at making hunts go faster as it can lower the max HP of monsters, but you can swap it out for Fruitflash (Dango Bombardier) or Invigorating (Dango Fighter) if you're using Gunlance or Dual Blades, respectively. Weapons that can KO monsters may want to eat Dizzybloom for Dango Slugger too while status users will want Secretheart for Dango Specialist. If you're having trouble with your health, you can swap out one of the dangos with Hide-and-Seek Dango which helps recover your health over time, or Magnaroar to prevent fainting once. Chirp Chirp can also be useful to buff yourself with Spiribirds before a fight. Avoid using Spud-luck for multi-monster hunts and large elder dragons like Gaismagorm as their HP is fixed.

Bowgun Dango Set

Dango	Effect	Activation Rate
Beansplosion	Dango Temper: Increases ammo damage, but also increases deviation.	50%
Centering	Dango Feet: Prevents you from getting knocked on your butt. Dango Marksman: Increases the power of shots and arrows.	55%
Recommended Dango for... Solo: Spud-luck Multiplayer: Mint-iature	Dango Weakener: Large monster encountered on quests have an increased chance of being weaker than normal. Dango Booster: Temporarily increases attack and defense after consumption, once.	90% 70%
Tips from Game8	This dango set improves your Bowgun ammo's damage as much as possible while potentially lowering the max HP of your target monster. You can swap Centering out with Fruitflash for Dango Bombardier if you're using Sticky Ammo. Aim for Dango Temper Lv. 4 to maximize the damage boost and to minimize the deviation penalty. Slot in Steadiness when possible to counter the penalty. Avoid using Spud-luck for multi-monster hunts and large elder monsters like Gaismagorm as their HP is fixed.

Bow Dango Set

Dango	Effect	Activation Rate
Invigorating	Dango Fighter: Reduces stamina depletion when evading, blocking, or doing certain other actions.	50%
Centering	Dango Feet: Prevents you from getting knocked on your butt. Dango Marksman: Increases the power of shots and arrows.	55%
Recommended Dango for... Solo: Spud-luck Multiplayer: Mint-iature	Dango Weakener: Large monster encountered on quests have an increased chance of being weaker than normal. Dango Booster: Temporarily increases attack and defense after consumption, once.	90% 70%
Tips from Game8	This is a dango set that helps manage stamina while increasing your bow's damage. Spud-luck can make hunts go faster, but you can swap it out for Dizzybloom instead if you want to improve your KO potential via Absolute Power Shots. Avoid using Spud-luck for multi-monster hunts and large elder monsters like Gaismagorm as their HP is fixed.

Dragon Conversion Set

Dango	Effect	Activation Rate
Lava-hot Egg	Dango Fire Res (Hi): Significantly increases fire resistance.	90%
Waterfall	Dango Water Res (Hi): Significantly increases water resistance.	90%
Sub-zero	Dango Ice Res (Hi): Significantly increases ice resistance.	90%
Spicejolt	Dango Thunder Res (Hi): Significantly increases thunder resistance.	90%
Tips from Game8	For users of the Dragon Conversion skill, maximizing elemental resistance is key to boosting elemental damage. By eating any three of the elemental resistance dangos, you can increase element by up to 11 points. Make sure to boost the positive ones first as the skill only adds up positive resistances for the conversion. Also, avoid going over the 50 resistance cap for any single element.

High Rank - Defensive

Dango	Effect	Activation Rate
Super Bestnut	Dango Defender (Hi): Often decreases damage taken.	85%
Magnaroar	Dango Moxie: Prevents fainting one time when damage taken exceeds your remaining health.	60%
Mint-iature	Dango Booster: Temporarily increases attack and defense after consumption, once.	70%
Tips from Game8	Once you hit High Rank, Bestnut can be upgraded into Super Bestnut for an even higher chance of reduced damage. Similar to the Low Rank option, when going up against a monster that deals elemental damage, you can swap Mint-iature for the upgraded elemental Dango to keep yourself healthy. Magnaroar you will unlock at the tail end of your Low Rank journey, keeping you from fainting a single time if you happen to get unlucky.
