Corrupted Mantle Nerf Details

Attack, Gauge Recovery, Effect Time

Monster Hunter Wilds' Corrupted Mantle was nerfed including the effect duration time, Affinity and attack stats in the 1st Free Title Update. Correspondingly, the effects of other Mantles have been improved, so use each Mantle depending on your play style.

Other Mantle Changes

Mantle	Adjustment Details
Rocksteady Mantle	Enhanced damage reduction effect - Received damage reduced by approximately 40%
Mending Mantle	Increase effect time - Change from 1 minute to 1 minute 20 seconds
Evasion Mantle	Increase effect time - Changed from 1 minute 30 seconds to 1 minute 45 seconds

Corrupted Mantle Effects and Usage

Mantle	Effects
Corrupted Mantle	Effect Time: 90 sec / Cooldown: 10 mins Decreases health, but raises Affinity by 5% and weapon stats. If you manage to keep attacking the monster, Attack further increases by 1.05x and Affinity by 10%.

Attack 1.05x and Affinity +10%

Before Overcoming	After Overcoming

Monster Hunter Wilds' Corrupted Mantle is a mantle that increases Affinity +5% and strengthens attacks stats in exchange for decreasing health. If you keep attacking, it will enter a overcome state and gain the effect of 1.05x Attack and Affinity +10%, which is useful for hunting large monsters.

Overcome Corrupted State

Corrupted Mantle's health will gradually decrease while it is equipped, but it will stop decreasing once it is overcome. To minimize continuous damage, be aware of when you wear it, you have a chance to attack.

Keep Attacking to Overcome

The overcome state is activated when you deal a certain amount of damage to the monster. However, if the interval between attacks is long, it will be difficult to trigger it, so try to focus your attacks in a short period of time.

Additional Damage & Special Gauge Recovery

The Corrupted Mantle gives you additional damage to certain attacks for each weapon type. Also, since the recovery amount of the special gauge increases for the Bow and Bowgun, it is recommended to use it when you go on the offensive.

Use Right Before Attacking

The Corrupted Mantle should be used when a monster is down or when you have a chance to attack, such as when using a Focus Strike. The second phase lasts until the effect time expires so quickly enter the overcome phase after wearing it to maintain the buff as much as possible.

Use Radial Menu to Equip

Common to all Mantles, if you wear a Mantle from the Radial Menu, you can also wear it with your weapon drawn. Also, keep in mind that Mantles other than the Ghillie can be worn by pressing L1+R2 buttons.

Does the Effect Overlap with Antivirus?

Overcoming Frenzy

The Skill "Antivirus", which is activated by Overcoming Frenzy, has the same Affinity buff as the Corrupted Mantle. When in the overcome state, Affinity increases to 35%, so they work very well together.

Activate Gore Magala's Tyranny

If you want to always get the skill effect, activate "Gore Magala's Tyranny" which repeatedly infects and overcomes Frenzy. It can be activated by equipping 2 pieces of the Gore Magala series, and further enhance the attack with 4 pieces equipped.

Corrupted Mantle Does Not Activate Antivirus

The Antivirus skill is activated when you overcome Frenzy, so it is not activated when you overcome the Corrupted Mantle effect. Also, be careful as Coalescence, which is activated when a status abnormality or Blight is canceled, will not be activated either.
