Focus is a Weapon Skill in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) that increases the fill rate and charge rate of weapons with gauges and charge attacks respectively. See the effects of Focus and a list of weapons with the Focus skill in this guide.
List of Contents
| Focus Skill | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increases the fill rate for weapons with gauges and the charge rate for weapons with charge attacks. | |||||||||||
| Level | Effect | ||||||||||
| 1 | Slightly increases gauge fill rate and reduces charge times by 5%. | ||||||||||
| 2 | Moderately increases gauge fill rate and reduces charge times by 10%. | ||||||||||
| 3 | Increases gauge fill rate and reduces charge times by 15%. | ||||||||||
Focus will speed up how quickly weapon gauges fill, and also make weapons with charge attacks charge quicker based on its level.
Focus increases the charge/fill rate of certain attacks and gauges respectively. In the example above, a Great Sword charging an attack with Focus 3 completes it quicker than without.
| Weapon | Affected Mechanics |
|---|---|
| Great Sword | Speeds up the charge rate of all charged attacks |
| Long Sword | Increases Spirit Gauge fill rate |
| Dual Blades | Increases Demon Gauge fill rate |
| Hammer | Speeds up the charging time when charging, making attacks out of charge faster to come off. |
| Gunlance | Speeds up the charging time for Charged Shells, increases its fill rate when attacking with the weapon, and increases the recovery rate of Wyvern's Fire Gauge |
| Switch Axe | Increases reload fill rate and Switch Gauge's passive recovery. Also increases Amp Gauge fill rate |
| Bowguns | Increases gauge recovery fill rate for both Light and Heavy bowguns |
| Bow | Increases Charged Shot charge speed and Trick Arrow Gauge fill rate |
Focus works with several weapons that utilize charged attacks, such as Great Sword, gauges, such as Dual Blades, or both, such as the Bow.
