List of Contents
Turf Wars are special battles between monsters in an area first introduced in Monster Hunter World (MHW). Monsters that fight in Turf Wars often unleash flashy and powerful moves to defeat the other monster!
In a turf war, monsters take a lot of damage from each other. Some monsters even have their stamina reduced by a large amount while some even get their parts broken. Hunters can surely take advantage of Turf Wars while hunting!
Turf Wars only happen between certain monsters. You would not see a Great Jagras dare challenge a Nergigante in a Turf War, right?
Also, knowing which monsters fight each other gives you the knowledge to better prepare for the other monster too eg. Nargigante have Turf Wars with elder dragons so when fighting one, expect to see a Nergigante!
