Artillery Skill Effects

Add to Watchlist

Artillery is a Weapon Skill in Monster Hunter Wilds. Learn the effects of Artillery and see a list of weapons and decorations with the Artillery skill.

Artillery Skill Effect

Skill Effects Per Level

Artillery Skill
Strengthens explosive attacks like shells, Wyvern's Fire, charge blade phial attacks, and Sticky Ammo.
Level Effect
1 Moderately increases each attack and Wyvern's Fire firing speed. Shelling fire attack +30.
2 Increases each attack and Wyvern's Fire firing speed. Shelling fire attack +60.
3 Greatly increases each attack and Wyvern's Fire firing speed. Shelling fire attack +90.

Improves Charge Blade Impact Phials

Skill Level Phial Damage
None 20, 24, 55
1 22, 26, 60
(+10%)
2 24, 28, 66
(+20%)
3 26, 31, 71
(+30%)

Tested using a 200 Raw Attack Charge Blade. Phial damage values are for ED1, AED, and SAED, respectively.

Based on our testing, Artillery works similarly to previous games for Impact Phial damage. This means it increases damage by 10%, 20%, and 30% depending on the level. However, this does not have any effect on Element Phial Charge Blades.

Increases Sticky Ammo Damage

Skill Level Sticky Ammo Damage
None 59
1 64
(+10%)
2 70
(+20%)
3 76
(+30%)

Tested using a 180 Raw Attack Heavy Bowgun.

Similar to Charge Blades, Bowguns that can load Sticky Ammo can get up to a 30% damage boost with the explosion. This should work the same for Light Bowguns and Heavy Bowguns.

Improves Gunlance Shells and Wyvern's Fire Speed

Skill Level Wyvern's Fire Shelling Charged Shelling
None 76 14 25
1 80 16 27
2 84 18 29
3 89 19 31

Tested using a 160 Raw Attack Gunlance.

Artillery also increases the damage done by Gunlance shells and Wyvern's Fire. For Wyvern's Fire, it also improves firing speed.

Artillery Does Not Affect Other Weapons

Besides the weapons listed above, Artillery does not boost the attacks of other weapons that appear explosive. This includes the Switch Axe and the Bow's Tracer and Fuse arrows.
