Wirebug Actions
NOTE: All actions that utilize the Wirebug consume Wirebug Gauge, but the number of gauges required and the ensuing cooldown time differ per action. It is also important to take note that hunters that are inflicted with Iceblight reduce the recovery rate of the Wirebug Gauge.
- Wiredash: A quick forward dash that even lets you move through the air. It's not just a great way of reaching your objective, but it can be chained into attacks and aerial dodges as well, so it's very helpful during hunts.
- Wallrun: This can be performed by executing a Wiredash towards a wall. You'll keep climbing even the steepest of slopes until your stamina is depleted.
- Sunbreak Update: With the release of the expansion, Wiredashing is no longer required to initiate a Wallrun. Hunters can now simply dash, jump or perform a midair evade towards a wall to run on it. Wallruns can also be initiated from other moves that don't expend the Wirebug Gauge and there is a new option to enable this feature at all times, switch it off, or switch it off while in combat only.
- Wirefall: An evasive move that can be used when you're pushed over or knocked back. It allows you to regain your footing quickly so that you can avoid follow-up attacks from monsters.
- Silkbind Attack: A special attack using the Wirebug. All 14 Weapons have their own unique Silkbind attacks. It can be performed with your weapon drawn, making utmost use of the characteristics of each weapon.
- Wyvern Riding: Wyvern Riding is a new feature that lets you bind monsters so you can control them. If you meet certain conditions, such as dealing enough damage, you can place them into a "mountable state".
Wirebug Silkbind Attacks
Silkbind Attacks in Monster Hunter Rise (MHR or MHRise) are special attacks performed using the Wirebug. Each of the 14 Weapon types have their own unique set of Silkbind Attacks and each Silkbind Attack makes use of the Wirebug gauge to perform a powerful maneuver that can have various special properties such as negating damage or staggers while in motion, or launching the Hunter into the sky to execute a devastating attack from mid-air.
- Hunters can have 2 Silkbind Attacks active while on hunts.
- Silkbind attacks go hand-in-hand with the Switch Skills mechanic, allowing a Hunter to customize their loadout with a combination of different skills for a tailored hunting experience.
