Monster Hunter Wilds

Burst Skill Effects

Add to Watchlist

Burst is an Armor Skill in Monster Hunter Wilds. Learn the effects of Burst and see a list of armor with the Burst skill.

Burst Skill Effect

Skill Effects Per Level

Burst Skill
Continuously landing hits gradually increases attack and elemental attack. (Amount increased depends on weapon.)
Level Effect
1 On first hit, gain a small temporary attack and element boost, replaced by a larger boost after the fifth hit.
2 Hit 5 successive times for a moderate stat boost.
3 Hit 5 successive times for a bigger stat boost.
4 Hit 5 successive times for an even bigger stat boost.
5 Hit 5 successive times for a huge stat boost.

Burst provides increased raw and elemental damage bonuses after landing 5 attacks consecutively. The damage bonus increases as you go up in levels, with the actual increase varying per weapon.

Burst Elemental and Raw Stat Increase

Total Stat Boosts after 5 Hits
Weapon Type Lv1 Lv2 Lv3 Lv4 Lv5
Great Sword & Hunting Horn Raw 10 12 14 16 18
Elem. 80 100 120 160 200
Dual Blades Raw 8 10 12 15 18
Elem. 40 60 80 100 120
Ranged Weapons Raw 6 7 8 9 10
Elem.* 40 60 80 100 120
All Other Weapons Raw 8 10 12 15 18
Elem. 60 80 100 120 140

*The Element boost for Bowguns cannot be confirmed as their base elemental values are not displayed.

While Burst is equipped, the first hit gives 5 raw attack and 50 element (30 for Bow and Dual Blades). After 5 hits within the window, the buffs will increase to the values above. The extra stats from Burst differ per weapon. In general, ranged weapons get a lower boost because they can easily deal the five hits required to get the extra boost.

Note that Burst does not affect Status at all and will only affect the raw and element damage.

Burst Duration is 3 to 5 Seconds

Weapon Type Duration
Great Sword,
Hunting Horn, &
Gunlance
5 seconds
All Other Weapons 4 seconds
Dual Blades &
Ranged Weapons
3 seconds

The window to maintain the maximum boosts from the Burst skill also varies per weapon. Most weapons have around 4 seconds before the buffs expire. Slower weapons have up to 5 seconds while weapons that easily deal multiple hits only have 3 seconds.

Extend Burst Duration with Burst Boost

Equipping Burst Boost by wearing Guardian Ebony armor extends the duration by up to 2 seconds longer while providing a bigger Attack bonus.

I should also mention, this is regardless of whatever weapon is sheathed.

The Akuma moveset counts towards the other weapons category for the purposes of burst.
