Find out which are the top 5 skills that you need to master when equipped with a Charge Blade in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Monster Hunter Wilds players would likely agree when we say that Charge Blade is one of the hardest weapon classes to master. Maintaining its overcharge mechanics while using Phials and timing the transformation combos correctly can be incredibly challenging.
However, those who persist and master a Charge Blade build will have incredible payoff in terms of the sheer damage that the weapon class can deal. Combining the right elemental and other skills will bolster the destruction that the Charge Blade can cause. So, in this guide, we’ll help you focus on the top five skills you need to have when wielding a Charge Blade in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Charge Blade in Monster Hunter Wilds: Which Skills To Get?
The following weapon and armor skills should be at the top of your priority list during a Charge Blade playthrough:
Weapon Skills
- Critical Eye (Level 3): This weapon skill increases your Affinity or critical chance. So, you have more chances of landing hits that deal greater amounts of physical damage. At Level 3, this skill will offer an added Affinity of 12%. You can get the skill by equipping Charge Blade weapons, such as the Esperanza Strongarm and the Hope Strongarm V.
- Critical Element (Level 3): While the previous skill was to increase your raw attack damage, this skill fortifies the elemental damage you cause to monsters using the Charge Blade. At its highest level, the skill will greatly enhance the elemental damage you can wreak on your foes. The Leidenskraft, Guardian Albathos, and Albirath Blade II are some of the Charge Blade weapons that come with this skill.
- Slugger (Level 1): Slugger is a skill that helps increase your ability to stun monsters. Although it can unlock up to Level 3, for a Charge Blade build, attaining the first level of this skill should be enough. At this level, the skill increases your stun power by 20%. Combining these with the other weapon skills can ensure that you get plenty of openings to deal both elemental and physical damage.

Armor Skills
- Flayer (Level 3): Flayer is a skill that allows you to capitalize on the wounds that appear on the bodies of monsters. With this skill in tow, you’ll have a much easier time inflicting wounds. The skill also improves on the overall non-elemental damage, which means your standard strokes will hurt the monsters more. You can get this skill from a variety of armor pieces, such as the Artian set and G Arkveld set.
- Weakness Exploit (Level 5): This skill basically boosts the Affinity of attacks that strike at either a monster’s weakened parts or wounds. When you max out the skill at level 5, you can expect +30% affinity when attacks land on weak body parts. When it strikes an open wound, the affinity is further increased by 20%. G Arkveld, Nerscylla, and Chatacabra armor pieces, along with various others, provide this skill to the hunter.
As you can see, all of the skills have been handpicked to maximize the damage output. These skills would make using a Charge Blade worthwhile even with its steep learning curve.
