Monster Hunter Wilds

Whiteflame Torrent Skill Effects

Add to Watchlist

Whiteflame Torrent is a Weapon Skill that deals an additional 50 damage in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). Learn the effects of Whiteflame Torrent, how it activates, and a list of weapons with the Whiteflame Torrent skill.

Whiteflame Torrent Skill Effect

Whiteflame Torrent Deals 50 Extra Damage

Whiteflame Torrent deals an extra 50 fixed damage at a random chance, unaffected by any form of resistance (even on deflects), when attacking with a three second cooldown before it can activate again. Based on our testing, the damage is fixed for all weapons no matter where it hits any target.

If a monster is currently mounted by a hunter, that monster receives lesser damage from Whiteflame Torrent (usually 15 damage instead of 50) – in line with the overall damage reduction caused by mounts.

Additionally, the skill will only activate when using certain weapon moves, similar to how Flayer works.

Extra Damage With Scorcher

Skill Front of Dummy Back of Dummy Scorcher Only (Front)
Scorcher I 69.0 61.5 12.0
Scorcher II 104.0 84.0 30.0

Scorcher is the Rathalos set bonus skill, and it works similarly as it randomly triggers additional fire damage. When used with Whiteflame Torrent, the total extra damage is higher as the skill also provides additional fire damage. Unlike Whiteflame Torrent, the extra damage from Scorcher can be reduced depending on where it hits.

Scorcher Skill Effects

Scorcher Level Affects Fixed and Fire Damage

Skill Effective Element
Scorcher I only 40 Fire
Scorcher I
+ Whiteflame Torrent
60 Fixed + 300 Fire
Scorcher II only 100 Fire
Scorcher II
+ Whiteflame Torrent
80 Fixed + 800 Fire

When Whiteflame Torrent is paired with Scorcher, it appears that the fixed damage also increases with the level. It also significantly increases the Fire portion of the damage.

Weapon Moves Unaffected by Whiteflame Torrent

In a similar behavior to Flayer, most normal attacks from weapons are counted towards activating Whiteflame Torrent's effect. This doesn't include certain special attacks or most Focus Strikes.
