| This build offers a safer way to play the Hunting Horn without having to rely on Dereliction and healing songs. This build can achieve comparable power with the new Blood Awakening skill which boosts both raw and element when healing with Blood Rite or Bloodblight. Also new to the Bonus Update is the Inspiration skill, which boosts attack anytime you play a melody that buffs the party. It even works when hunting solo!
For the Fire, Water, and Ice builds, consider replacing Inspiration for Teostra Blessing or Kushala Blessing if you want an extra boost to elemental damage. The decoration may be added again once you gain a slot or the Blessing skills through armor augments. Like our other elemental builds, most of the elemental damage will come from Silkbind Shockwave. Element can be boosted really high with Dragon Conversion while taking advantage of the resistance boosts from the Blue Scroll, Furious, and Elemental Resistance Dango. The Furious talisman can only be rolled with Qurious Melding - Vigor, and while Lv.1 is usable, higher levels are ideal. |

| Build Merits and Notes |
|---|
| This version of our Elemental Hunting Horns take advantage of the strong combination between Dragon Conversion and Furious. Vigor melding now makes it possible to get a talisman with one (1) or higher level of Furious, opening up options for armor pieces. Similar to TU4, these sets will still make use of healing horns due to the presence of Dereliction and Bloodlust in the build.
The main skills of the build are Dragon Conversion, Furious, and Dereliction which will require using the Red Scroll to boost elemental damage. Initially you would like to use the Blue Scroll to activate the Elemental Resistance Buildup (
 ) from Dragon Conversion. After getting the buff, switch back to Red Scroll for the rest of the hunt. If ever you faint, repeat the process of activating the buff.The use of Silkbind Shockwave Switch Skill is crucial for this build. Upon activation, your attacks will produce follow-up shockwaves for the next 45 seconds. These shockwaves can't crit but scale well with elemental damage! This skill also has super armor, so it's great for mitigating damage from monsters. Make sure to slot in Stun Resistance (except for horns with Stun Negated song) since super amor does not prevent stun. For the other slots, feel free to use any skills you're comfortable; however, we do recommend using Bead of Resonance to double the healing with Health Recovery songs get Attack Up buff for horns without Attack Up song. For this build, take advantage of Super Recovery Dango Lvl 4 from Hide-and-Seek Dango to lessen the health drain of Dereliction and Bloodlust. Also, you can get Dango Thunder Res (Hi) Lv 3 and Dango Fire Res (Hi) Lv 1 from Spicejolt and Lava-hot Egg, respectively, to further increase the elemental attack gained from Dragon Conversion. Armor augments are not necessary for this build. However, by aiming to get Furious and Dragon Conversion, you will be able to swap out certain armor pieces for better ones, notably the Chaotic/Nephilim Helm, Valstrax Braces - Epoch, and Virtue/Prudence Coil. These are slot efficient armors which will allow you to add more skills. |

| Build Merits and Notes |
|---|
| This build highlights the destructive power of Dragon Conversion and Dragonheart. During the previous update, Dragonheart was a very difficult skill to fit into armor pieces. However, with the Vigor melding, it is now possible to get a talisman with four (4) levels of Dragonheart, making the skill more accessible than ever.
Since Dragon Conversion and Dereliction are included in the build, you will be required to utilize the Red Scroll to boost elemental damage. This set also assumes that you will have Dragonheart active at all times which means you will have to maintain your HP at 80% or less.
The Switch Skills to be used in this set are similar to the other Elemental Hunting Horn Builds above, mainly Silkbind Shockwave. You can still take advantage of Super Recovery Dango Lvl 4 from Hide-and-Seek Dango to lessen the health drain of Dereliction and Bloodlust but take this into consideration when managing your HP. With only the inclusion of Dragonheart, refer to the other Elemental Hunting Horn Builds to know what other Armor augments to aim for. Note that this build will require you to be extremely good in HP management. Although Dragonheart gives higher stats compared to Furious, you will need to keep your HP under 80% at all times or you will lose a significant amount of damage. If you have trouble with the Dragonheart uptime, just use a build that utilizes Furious, similar to the other elemental hunting horn builds. |

| Build Merits and Notes |
|---|
| This build offers an alternative to our elemental build by increasing DPS against monsters without very high elemental hitzones. Element is still included, as the additional damage remains useful with the right matchups.
When using this build, Silkbind Shockwave is mandatory for the extra elemental damage it can provide. Hunters should also stick to the Blue Scroll for this build to maximize raw damage and KO potential. Hunting Horns with healing songs remain our picks to manage Dereliction's health drain. This build doesn't include armor augments. However, Bloodlust should be rolled on one piece if using the Grimm/Joie. Otherwise, the Vicello Kvar Black works as an alternative. |

|
This Hunting Horn build utilizes the synergy between poison and Buildup Boost to dish out more raw damage when building up poison without the need for Dereliction.
To maximize the build's damage output, Critical Eye, Critical Boost, and Weakness Exploit are used in conjunction with the additional affinity from Maximum Might. Damage is further bolstered with Attack Boost and Foray, which benefits from the extended poison duration from Chameleos Blessing. Protective Polish extends the weapon's purple sharpness, while Grinder (S) makes the most of the short white and purple sharpness of the weapon. While the build primarily focuses on dealing powerful crits on weakpoints, Powder Mantle is also included with the Risen Kaiser Horns, providing extra damage after dealing enough hits. |

| This build uses Bazel Valdi Rooksearer to deal high raw and Blast damage with the help of Dereliction, which remains powerful and manageable with healing songs. Aside from Dereliction, the build uses Attack Boost, Critical Boost, and Resentment to increase the weapon's damage output. In addition, maxed Critical Eye, Weakness Exploit, and two points in Maximum Might allow the weapon to always land critical hits on weak spots. To round out the build, it also features Speed Sharpening, Handicraft and a point in Protective Polish to help maintain purple sharpness during the hunt.
When using this build, always swap to your Blue Scroll when the hunt begins as Dereliction will only provide increased attack and stun potency when on the Blue Scroll. In addition, to further help mitigate the health drain from Dereliction, we recommend eating Gourmet Fish and the Hide-and-Seek Dango as they both provide health regeneration over time. |

| Build Merits and Notes |
|---|
| Silkbind Shockwave works very well with elemental Hunting Horns as it effectively deals extra elemental damage on every hit. Our picks for Hunting Horns have healing songs to easily manage Dereliction's HP drain.
When using this build, use the Blue Scroll to boost raw attack and stun potential as most monsters don't have very high elemental hitzone values. Swap to the Red Scroll against monsters very weak to elements as Dereliction will provide more elemental damage. Teostra Blessing and Kushala Blessing can help boost elemental damage further once these become available later. In the meantime, other decorations may be slotted. In addition to playing healing melodies often, the health drain from Dereliction can be mitigated by eating Gourmet Fish and the Hide-and-Seek Dango as they both provide health regeneration over time. |

| This build uses Hunting Horns with the Sharpness Regeneration melody to support allies and reduce reliance on sharpness skills. Unfortunately, not all elements have this song, so the only options are the horns above. The Allysyl Muse may be used as a raw alternative using a modified Fire set, but it's not as optimal due to the build's focus on elemental damage. The Fire set can also have its Resentment level lowered if Velkhana or the Furor Jewel+ 4 are not available yet.
As this is an elemental set, Silkbind Shockwave is mandatory for the extra damage. It's also recommended to mostly use the Blue Scroll for added raw attack and stun potential and only switching to the Red Scroll if a monster is very weak to the chosen element. To help mitigate the health drain from Dereliction, we recommend eating Gourmet Fish and the Hide-and-Seek Dango as they both provide health regeneration over time. If you want to avoid using Dereliction, the legs can be swapped for the Malzeno Greaves, but you'll have to adjust the decorations accordingly and give up Flinch Free. |

| Build Merits and Notes |
|---|
| A well-rounded Hunting Horn build great for starting out in Sunbreak's Master Rank. This build focuses on dealing high stun and raw damage with Hunting Horn using Attack Boost, Slugger, Critical Boost, and Weakness Exploit. This build also offers some additional survivability with Stun Resistance and Defense Boost. |
These skills make it possible to deal extra damage! Aim for these skills for maximum DPS to defeat those monsters easier and finish those quests faster!
| Best Skills | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Attack Boost ★★★ |
Increasing the Hunting Horn's base attack is one of the most efficient ways to increase DPS. |
| Weakness Exploit ★★★ |
Increased affinity when hitting enemy weakspots. This is perfect for Hunting Horns because they should always prioritize the head. |
| Element Attack ★★★ |
Sunbreak featured buffs for elemental damage, making elemental builds viable. Be sure to max out this skill to get the most out of its potential. Fire | Water | Ice | Thunder | Dragon |
| Critical Boost ★★ |
Amplifies critical damage by 30%/35%/40% per level, working well with Weakness Exploit. |
| Burst ★★ |
Power up with this skill, which can activate with the Hunting Horn's continuous combos. Max it out as much as possible but a single point is enough to deal impactful damage. |
| Dereliction ★★ |
Using the Red Scroll will increase element values while using the Blue Scroll increases attack values, improving overall damage. This skill is basically a free buff for the weapon since you can manage the health drain by using Hunting Horns with healing songs! For additional elemental damage, pair this skill with Strife from the Chaotic Gore Magala Armor Set. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Element Exploit ★★ |
This skill is ideal to have on elemental builds because of the Hunting Horn's effectiveness in targeting weakspots, making sure you pull off significant damage every time you hit them! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1 |
| Powder Mantle ★★ |
This skill from the Risen Teostra Armor provides the Hunting Horn with additional blast damage every time it activates, contributing greatly to DPS. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 3 |
| Bloodlust ★★ |
Overcome the Frenzy Virus to power up with this skill; best paired with Coalescence. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Blood Awakening ★★ |
At Lv.2 of this skill, its maximum boost is comparable to Lv.1 Dereliction, making it a safer alternative without the health drain. Best paired with Blood Rite to heal outside of afflicted monster hunts. Available in Sunbreak Bonus Update |
| Inspiration ★★ |
Boosts 10 raw attack for 20 seconds whenever most melodies are played. Easy to slot in and also boosts allied hunters. Available in Sunbreak Bonus Update |
| Slugger ★ |
Increased stun rate is a valuable skill for Hunting Horn in both solo and multiplayer. Slot this skill only when you can! |
These are skills that make managing weapon mechanics a lot easier. Damage is only part of the equation - taking time to slot in comfort skills that increase consistency & comfort will also increase overall DPS!
| Best Skills | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Horn Maestro ★★★ |
This skill improves the Hunting Horn's performance speed and shockwave damage using just 1 skill slot. |
| Protective Polish ★★★ |
An amazing skill that synergizes with Speed Sharpening. Make the most of your re-sharpens by negating sharpness loss for a significant amount of time with this skill. |
| Speed Sharpening ★★★ |
With Hunting Horn chewing through sharpness, having increased sharpening speed means you can return to the fray faster! |
| Evade Extender ★★ |
Improves the Hunting Horn's ability to dodge out of harm's way and reposition. |
| Defiance ★★ |
Three levels of this skill prevent most roars, tremors, and winds from interrupting attacks. The Cornerstone Jewel is a level 1 decoration, so slot it in whenever possible! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1 |
| Wirebug Whisperer ★ |
This skill will allow you to access more of your silkbind attacks. Consider this skill if your playstyle involves using Bead of Resonance. |
| Wind Mantle ★ |
This skill from the Risen Kushala Armor will recharge your Wirebugs faster, allowing you to do more silkbind attacks with the Hunting Horn. As with Wirebug Whisperer, consider this skill if your playstyle involves using Bead of Resonance. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 3 |
| Flinch Free ★ |
No singer or musician likes interruptions. Don't let allies cancel those melodies! |
| Intrepid Heart ★ |
Whenever the gauge above your health bar is full, this skill can be useful in preventing monster attacks from interrupting your combos. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 2 |

Hi, regarding Ice, is there a decoration missing from the list for Blood Awakening Elemental Horns? It says [except Ice] for Element Exploit+ 4, and under Ice Only skills, it says Handicraft Lv2. Is it safe to assume the Ice build swaps Element Exploit+ 4 for Handicraft+ 4?
