Understanding how Trick Arrow Gauge and Tracers work is crucial to mastering the bow in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest installment of one of Capcom’s biggest franchises, has incorporated various improvements and changes from the past installments. While the new focus mode allows you to destroy the monster’s wounds more effectively with every weapon, each weapon has also received some unique dedicated changes, making them more powerful.
Among them, the Bow received a new complex and tricky mechanism called Trick Arrow Gauge and Tracers. While Trick Arrow Gauge and Tracers are two different concepts, both are tied to one another. Learning the ins and outs of the Trick Arrow Gauge and Tracers is essential to mastering the Bow in Monster Hunter Wilds.
How the Trick Arrow Gauge and Tracers Work in Monster Hunter Wilds
Trick Arrow Gauge is a new gauge meter that you can find on the lower right screen above the coating selection. The gauge has three markings, meaning you have three charges to perform techniques associated with the Bow. This includes the usage of Tracers as well as applying various coatings. Each of these techniques will consume one-third of the Trick Arrow Gauge.
Tracers are a special type of arrow, which mark a specific part of the monster as a target, allowing the subsequent arrows to hit the targetted part for a limited time and explode after a certain time. Additionally, it increases the range of the follow-up arrows.
This is greatly beneficial when targeting weak and breakable parts of a monster for further damage. Every bow has unique coatings, such as Power, Close-Range, Pierce, and Exhaust. Applying a specific coating offers a unique effect for the next few arrows.

How To Fill the Trick Arrow Gauge in Monster Hunter Wilds
Since the Trick Arrow Gauge plays a crucial role when using the Bow, there are quite a few ways to fill the gauge, such as attacking, charging, and dodging. While landing successful attacks and performing combos significantly fills the Trick Arrow Gauge, it can be further increased with charged attacks.
Charging attacks are a great way, as they fill the Trick Arrow Gauge considerably. Additionally, executing Discerning Dodge can also fill the gauge. To perform a Discerning Dodge, you need to execute a perfect dodge right before the attack lands on you.
