Curious how many notes the Hunting Horn has and what their effects are? Wonder no further! Here is a list of the Hunting Horn Notes and Effects in Monster Hunter World (MHW).
List of Contents
There are different types of Hunting Horn Notes that make up different songs. First is the note's color, then how you attack.
White | Red | Blue | Cyan | Green | Yellow | Orange | Purple |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
It's important to pay attention to the colors of the notes as these are the foremost determining factor of what melodies you can play.
Attack Note A | Attack Note B | Attack Note C | Echo Attack |
---|---|---|---|
Knowing what the difference is between these different notes and how to execute them will be the first thing you have to memorize as a Hunting Horn user.
The Echo Attack, which came with Iceborne, is especially unique in how you execute it and what it does. It does not have a color, but it creates new melodies with different effects, whether it is to deal big damage with its Echo Waves, or leave an Echo Bubble (pictured above).
The Echo Bubble applies buffs like Recitals would, but hunters would have to step into it to receive the buff. Just like normal Hunting Horn buffs, the buff from the Echo Bubble stays for a certain period of time after hunters step out.
The Echo Bubble also remains in the battlefield for some time, so hunters are free to step in and out of it anytime to refresh the duration of the buff without having the Hunting Horn user do another Recital.
When you first play a melody on your Hunting Horn, the melody on the top right of your screen will turn green. This is called the Recital.
When you repeat the same melody right after the Recital, the melody will then turn purple. This is called an Encore, and will usually have better and/or extended effects.
