(Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Sacred Sheathe Combo): <\/strong>A slow methodical movement that can be executed following an attack. Upon sheathing your weapon, you can harness the increased spirit to unleash a follow-up slash. The power of the slash increases according to the level of the Spirit Gauge. If you are attacked before you have finished with the sheathe, it will consume one level of Spirit Gauge and the move will be canceled.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Harvest Moon):<\/strong> A move that casts out an Ironsilk ring that narrows your range of attack, but boosts spirit so you can go on the offensive. Within the ring, your Spirit Gauge won’t deplete, and if you perform any counterattacks, it will add additional hits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSword & Shield<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Sword & Shield weapon in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Twin Blade Combo): <\/strong>A two-part attack that opens with a circular slash and follows up with a blade thrust. An easy attack to get multiple hits in with, so ideal for weapons with high elemental and status properties.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Destroyer Oil):<\/strong> Uses a Wirebug to cover your blade with a special ointment whose effects trigger if ignited by friction with your shield. While active, monsters flinch more easily, creating more openings for attack.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDual Blades<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Dual Blades weapon in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Slide Slash Combo): <\/strong>This technique allows you to attack while evading, and if you work it into your combos, you can unleash a relentless attack that’s difficult to defend against.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Spiral Slash):<\/strong> A Silkbind attack that launches you spiraling forwards.

(Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Shield Tackle): <\/strong>A technique where you charge forward with your shield raised.

(Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Erupting Cannon): <\/strong>This technique involves firing an exploding stake into your target. When using the Eruption Cannon, the tip of the gunlance heats up, and slashing attacks are enhanced for a certain period of time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Bullet Barrage):<\/strong> Uses a Wirebug to Blast Dash toward your target, unleashing everything with abandon. Be careful: Shells, Wyrmstake Cannon, and Wyvern’s Fire will automatically be reloaded first before performing the attack.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHammer<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Hammer weapon in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Spinning Bludgeon: Charge): <\/strong>A technique that stores released power and funnels it into the next Charge Switch attack.

Make good use of this to unleash a series of level 3 charged attacks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Impact Burst):<\/strong> A Silkbind attack that wraps your weapon in Ironsilk. For a short period of time, any charged attack performed causes the silk to vibrate, creating a shockwave that makes it easier to flinch monsters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHunting Horn<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Hunting Horn weapon in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Swing Combo): <\/strong>A two-hit attack that can be delivered from either the left or right.

\n2nd Stage: Morphs into Axe Mode<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
During this combo, the power of Sword Mode attacks increase and Axe Mode attacks fill the Switch Gauge faster.<\/p>\n
\nSilkbind (Elemental Burst Counter):<\/strong> Compresses Switch Gauge energy, that can be released as an Elemental Burst. If the burst is released right as a monster attacks, you’ll perform a Power Finisher and your switch axe will go into an Amped State.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nCharge Blade<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Charge Blade weapon in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Phial Follow-up: Firing Pin): <\/strong>A mechanism that lowers the pressure of elemental energy generated through Shield Thrust during Elemental Boost, or by sword attacks while in Sword Boost Mode. The elemental energy generated builds up on your target but disappears over time. It can be detonated by any attack in Axe Mode and extending the time limit of the Elemental Boost.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Ready Stance):<\/strong> A Silkbind maneuver that binds sword and axe together with Ironsilk. After guarding, a heavy knockback leaves you in Sword Mode and lowers your guard reaction so you’re able to chain sword\/axe attacks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nInsect Glaive<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Insect Glaive weapon in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Kinsect Slash): <\/strong>A mid-air technique where you thrust forward with your glaive and Kinsect. If the slash connects, you’ll perform a Vaulting Dance, absorbing extract. However, once you’ve absorbed red extract with Kinsect Slash, you won’t be able to absorb any other extract with it, but you’ll be able to perform an Enhanced Insect Spiker as a trade-off.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Awakened Kinsect Attack):<\/strong> A technique where you hurl a Kinsect to inflict massive damage. All extracts are consumed and the more extract you have, the more potent this attack will be. After launching the Kinsect, you’ll close in using a Wirebug; simultaneously absorbing extract, marking the target, and then chaining into a Vaulting Dance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nLight Bowgun<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Light Bowgun weapon in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Critical Firepower): <\/strong>A special shooting style that further raises damage output but narrows critical distance and increases recoil. Because the distance at which the power of ammo is most effective has been reduced, you will need to be aware and adjust your firing position. Note: Does not apply to certain ammo types.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Wyvern Counter):<\/strong> An urgent retreat that fires a shot with massive recoil, using a Wirebug to stop. While not a powerful attack, its true value comes when it’s used to evade incoming attacks. If timed right, you’ll retreat with an explosive exit that can even neutralize breath attacks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHeavy Bowgun<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\nThe Heavy Bowgun weapon in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSwitch Skills (Crouching Shot): <\/strong>A style of shooting that utilizes a special stance to reduce recoil. In exchange for not being able to move, you’re able to fire in rapid succession. The longer you fire, the shorter the firing interval becomes, but at the risk of overheating your bowgun. If your bowgun overheats, it can’t be fired until it has cooled down. Note: Certain ammo types cannot be used.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSilkbind (Setting Sun):<\/strong> A Silkbind technique in which a Wirebug generates a ring of Ironsilk. Special powder accumulates within the ring, and when ammo passes through it, the velocity of the ammo is decreased. Firing piercing ammo\/multi-hit ammo through the ring will boost the total number of hits upon impact.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
