Update and Changes

Nerfed in Free Title Update 1

The Corrupted Mantle in Monster Hunter Wilds has been nerfed in the Free Title Update 1, and now has lower Affinity and Attack effects. At the same time, other Mantles have been buffed, so choose the Mantle depending on your play style.

How to Use Corrupted Mantle

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%.

Buffs Attack 1.05x and Affinity +10%

Your Health will gradually decrease while the Corrupted Mantle is equipped, but at the same time increases Affinity by 5% in addition to buffs for each weapon. Attack is further increased by 1.05x and Affinity by 10% if you keep hitting the enemy, making it useful for hunting large monsters.

Overcome Corrupted State

Your Health will stop decreasing in the second phase, making the Hunter glow, which activates if you keep hitting the enemy. Make sure to equip the Corrupted Mantle when you have a chance to keep attacking in order to avoid losing too much health.

Rapid Attacks to Go Into Second Phase

The second phase of the Corrupted Mantle is activated if you are able to deal a certain amount of damage to a monster. However, if the interval between the attacks is long, it will not go into this state. Focus on dealing damage as much as possible in a short amount of time.

Additional Damage & Special Gauge Recovery

When you equip the Corrupted Mantle, some weapon attacks deal additional damage. Since the recovery amount of the Bow and Bowgun's special gauge also increases, you should use the Corrupted Mantle right when you are about to attack aggresively.

Use When Monster is Downed or Before Focus Strike

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

Does Not Activate with Antivirus & Coalescence

The skill "Antivirus", which is activated by overcoming Frenzy, and the skill "Coalescence", which is activated by removing status ailments and Blight, do not activate with the Corrupted Mantle. There is no synergy between the skills.
