Critical Draw is a Weapon Skill that gives bonus affinity to draw attacks in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). Learn the effects of Critical Draw and how long it lasts, and see a list of weapons with the Critical Draw skill.

List of Contents

Critical Draw Skill Effect

Skill Effects Per Level

Critical Draw Skill
Increases affinity when performing draw attacks. (Not effective while riding.)
Level Effect
1 Affinity +50%
2 Affinity +75%
3 Affinity +100%

Critical Draw is a skill that provides bonus affinity every time you do draw attacks. This bonus starts at +50% Affinity at Level 1 and increases to +100% Affinity at Level 3.

This skill should not be confused with the skill Punishing Draw, which makes a weapon's draw attack deal Stun damage.

Lasts For 3 Seconds

Upon performing a Draw attack, the affinity buff that Critical Draw gives lasts for 3 seconds. This is especially effective for the Long Sword since it counts Iai Slash and Iai Spirit Slash as draw attacks to provide bonus affinity.

Keep in mind that dodging and sheathing your weapon will end the duration immediately so try to squeeze in another attack before the duration ends to make full use of the boosted affinity.
