Key Combat Tips
#

  • Priority Skills: Focus on Elemental Attack (Level 5) for elemental builds, followed by Critical Eye, Weakness Exploit, and Burst to maximize DPS.
  • Lock On: This skill is essential for targeting weak spots easily. If you lack materials for the Pukei Lagoon Hat, the Kulu Headpiece is a reliable substitute for early to mid-game.
  • Heavenly Blade Dance: To boost the damage of this special move, you can use the Anja Mail, which provides the Special Boost skill.
