This Support Wide-Range Build can be used by players who want to fill the support role in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). See the Support Wide-Range build's best weapons, loadout, and the playstyle for the build.

Support Wide-Range Best Weapons

Lala Acanthopelm Sword and Shield

Weapon	Rarity	ATK	DEF
Lala Acanthopelm	8	280	0
	Slots	Element	Affinity
	③②①	200	15%
Skills	Critical Draw Lv. 2 Critical Status Lv. 1

Weapon Decorations	Ironwall Jewel III【3】 x1 Paralyzer Jewel II【2】 x1 Paralyzer Jewel【1】 x1

The Lala Acanthopelm is chosen for the build as it offers both offense and defense. The weapon's innate skills offer offensive capabilities with Critical Draw level 2 and Critical Status level 1, while the decorations round it up by adding Guard and Paralysis Attack at max level.

Additionally, item usage is quicker when using Sword and Shield since items are available even when your sword is unsheathed.

Lala Aviculari Lance

Weapon	Rarity	ATK	DEF
Lala Aviculari	8	460	0
	Slots	Element	Affinity
	③②①	250	15%
Skills	Critical Draw Lv. 2 Critical Status Lv. 1

Weapon Decorations	Ironwall Jewel III【3】 x1 Paralyzer Jewel II【2】 x1 Paralyzer Jewel【1】 x1

For a similar reason, the Lala Aviculari is chosen for its offensive and defensive capabilites. This Lance shares the same Critical Draw level 2 and Critical Status level 1 that Lala Acanthopelm has, along with its Paralysis status build-up.

While you lose the quick item usage for healing and buffing that the Sword and Shield offers, the Lance offers better protection with the use of its shield. Guard and Paralysis Attack will occupy all the decoration slots to further boost your offensive and defensive potential.

Queen Chordmaker Hunting Horn

Weapon	Rarity	ATK	DEF
Queen Chordmaker	8	840	0
	Slots	Element	Affinity

Echo Bubble	Health Regeneration

Weapon Decorations	Venom Jewel III【3】 x1 KO Jewel II【2】 x1 KO Jewel【1】 x1

With its high stagger potential and innate buffing mechanics, the Hunting Horn is one of the best weapons to use when running a support build. The Queen Chordmaker is chosen for its Health Recovery (S), Recovery Speed (L), Melody of Life, and Attack Up (L) melodies.

Having Health Regeneration as its Echo Bubble will assist the player for the build's purpose, while Slugger and Poison Attack will be the chosen decorations to maximize both stagger and status build-up potential.

SNS and Lance Skill Summary

Hunting Horn Skill Summary

Armor Skills Explanation

While the build focuses on healing and buffing your team with the use of Wide-Range, Mushroomancer, Free Meal, and Speed Eating, this build also features Diversion.

Diversion is a product of the group skill Alluring Pelt. This group skill increases the attention drawn to you when attacking a monster, making you the primary target when on a hunt. This will result in a hunting scenario where the monster will focus on you while your buffed up allies land powerful attacks.

Earplugs at level 2 will be enough as it provides immunity to most monster roars, as only four monsters require level 3 to provide complete roar immunity. War Cry provides an additional raw attack buff to allies that lasts for 3 minutes.

To further maximize this support build, Agitator is maxed out to ensure that offensive contribution is respectable.

Best Mantle

Mantle	Effect
Rocksteady Mantle	•　Rocksteady Mantle can be used once you get the monster's attention. This serves as an additional layer of defense, along with the freedom to attack with your team.

Best Secondary Weapon

Weapon & Type	Explanation
Resounding Galahad (Hunting Horn)	•　The Resounding Galahad is an offense oriented Hunting Horn that cater players who prefer to focus in an all out attack playstyle. •　With Diversion slotted into the build, buffing up your team's attack potency ensures that Diversion's effect is maximized.

Support Wide-Range Build Playstyle

Provide Buffs While Attacking

1. Buff up your allies offensively and defensively before starting the hunt. Remember to use the gesture "To Victory!" and the Mushrooms at your disposal! For a complete list of mushroom effects, visit our Mushroomancer Skill Effects page.
2. When the hunt starts, proceed with attacking the monster as much as possible to get its attention with the use of Diversion.
3. When using a Sword and Shield or a Lance, focus on executing perfect guards to mitigate damage. Perfect guarding may also trigger a Power Clash, which can stagger the monster. Guard will assist in blocking by lessening knockback and stamina consumption.
4. Remember to keep an eye on the team's healthbar. With Wide-Range and Mushroomancer active, consuming a Blue Mushroom with Speed Eating will heal them instantly. Additionally, you must re-buff your allies with the use of melodies or items once the buff duration ends. Ally buff icons can be seen above their health bars.
5. The timing of mantle usage will entirely depend on the player. Since the monster's attention will be on you, you may use Rocksteady Mantle to survive and escape if needed.

This build aims to support the whole team by providing buffs and heals while the monster targets you. The use of Echo Bubble or Guarding will provide the much needed protection while the monster focuses on you. Additionally, the recommended mantles will further assist you if a risky situation arises.

Recommended Items to Bring

The items above consist of healing, buffing, and status removal items. Once consumed, Wide-Range will share its effects to allies. To maximize buff usage, head on to our Buffs Explained page to know which buffs stack.
