Best Skills for Maul

Best Skills	Explanation
Extended Rap ★★★	With the Maul relying primarily on extended attacks for its most damaging combos, having a skill that directly increases these moves' damage output is always excellent to have.
Tunnel Vision ★★★	This skill makes the Maul's extension timing much tighter but greatly improves the weapon's damage output for a short while.
Shockwave ★★	This skill allows the Maul's extended attacks to knock out Kemono much easier, allowing hunters to target monsters' weak points and land the weapon's most damaging combos more often.
Surprise Attack ★★	This skill boosts the amount of damage you deal before a Kemono roars and begins attacking. Combine this skill with a Chain Trap and the Maul's high-damage combos at the start of the hunt for massive damage!
Desperation ★★	This skill provides a potent damage increase at the cost of your defense, making it a high-risk, high-reward damage skill for every weapon.
Hawk Eye ★★	This skill provides a potent damage increase when hitting a Kemono's weak spots, making it a solid damage skill for every weapon.
One Stroke: Fury ★★	The Maul breaks parts often with its high-damage blows, so a skill that increases damage on part breaks is always great to have.
Karakuri Coordination: Fury ★	The Maul often uses basic Karakuri attacks for combos and animation canceling. Having a skill that boosts the damage of these moves is always great to have.
Slight of Hand: Fury ★	Similar to Karakuri Coordination: Fury, providing the Maul with damage boosts after creating basic and fusion Karakuri is always beneficial.
