The Sleep-element build is the most recommended Artian Great Sword in Monster Hunter Wilds. Its true strength lies in its synergy with the True Charged Slash, allowing you to capitalize on the monster's vulnerability after being put to sleep.
Paralysis and Blast Build for Multiplayer
Though lower in priority than the Sleep Great Sword, the Paralysis and Blast build for the Great Sword are solid picks for multiplayer. Both focus on increasing the base attack stats so consider making them once your Sleep Great Sword build is complete.

For the Artian Great Sword, Attack Boost is the recommended bonus. Since the Great Sword has a low hit count but high damage per strike, boosting its raw power is the best way to increase overall effectiveness.

The Artian Long Sword in Monster Hunter Wilds performs well with Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, and Paralysis elements. Elemental builds like Fire or Thunder are ideal if you're focusing on raw offensive power, while Paralysis is a strong choice for those playing a supportive role in multiplayer, helping control the monster's movement and creating openings for the team.

The main difference from the pre-update equipment is that it lowers the level of Weakness Exploit and activates Agitator Lv5. With this setup, the maximum affinity can reach 85% even without wounds. Since the effect duration of Offensive Guard is only about 12 seconds, it's recommended to replace it with something like Critical Jewel II 2 in multiplayer.

For the Artian Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds, it's recommended to craft all five elemental variants. Each one offers performance improvements over standard crafted weapons, whether through higher raw attack or stronger elemental values, making them valuable additions to your arsenal for exploiting monster weaknesses.
Forge Paralysis if You Have Spare Resources
If you have the resources to spare for elements and bonuses, the Paralysis element is also recommended. However, aside from having a Level 3 decoration slot, its performance is not much different from the craftable weapon 'Lala Harpactirs,' so if fine-tuning is too much work, the crafted version is fine. The Sleep element is not available through crafting and is currently exclusive to the Artian series.

For the Artian Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds, the recommended bonuses are Attack x7 and Sharpness x1. Currently, boosting base attack yields more consistent damage compared to enhancing elemental values.

For the Artian Lance in Monster Hunter Wilds, Paralysis or Blast elements are recommended. Paralysis is generally the better choice, as it can halt the monster's movements. However, since the Lance is a weapon that allows for constant attacking, experienced users may not gain as much offensive value from Paralysis. In that case, Blast is a better option for dealing extra damage over time.

The strongest recommended Blast build for Switch Axe uses the Blast Variant of the Artian weapon "Mundus Altus". Since Blast cannot be enhanced using any of the Artian bonuses, this weapon has the advantage of being used similarly to a general-purpose Fire build.. Ideally, the various bonuses should be inclined towards enhancing Attack so that you can take advantage of the Power Phial. Additionally, this setup provides high maximum possible Affinity of about 95%, so if you feel that you don't need Focus or Power Prolonger that much, you can slot in Critical Jewel III 3 instead.

For the Artian Light Bowgun, the recommended bonuses are Attack x6 and Capacity Boost x2. Capacity Boost is especially important, as it reduces the number of reloads needed and increases your attack frequency over time, so be sure to equip two for maximum efficiency.

The strongest recommended equipment for each element for the Light Bowgun after the update is a setup that uses both the Zoh Shia waist piece and 4 pieces of the Gore Magala Armor. Use Rapid Fire over Burst Step to achieve critical hits with Maximum Might. In addition to having increased Attack thanks to Black Eclipse II, you can also expect a maximum possible Affinity of 75% or more with this build. Changing Coalescence and Maximum Might to Evade Extender and Earplugs is a viable choice if you don't particularly need the former skills.

This is a highly recommended 4 Element Light Bowgun build using Arch-tempered Rey Dau armor. It focuses on 'Rapid Fire' rather than 'Burst Step' to maintain affinity via Maximum Might. In addition to providing constant Attack Up and letting you survive one instance of heavy damage through Lord's Soul, the build can also reach up to 100% Affinity when conditions like overcoming Frenzy are met.

For the Artian Heavy Bowgun in Monster Hunter Wilds, it's recommended to craft all four elements: Fire, Water, Thunder, and Ice. However, since there are also excellent element Heavy Bowguns available through regular forging, consider switching to the Artian version once you've obtained powerful Decorations to slot into their three Level 3 decoration slots. Additionally, Paralysis builds focusing on Pierce Ammo and Wyvernheart are also strong and highly recommended as Universal Build.

For the Artian Bow in Monster Hunter Wilds, it's recommended to forge all four elements: Fire, Water, Thunder, and Ice. Each offers improved performance over their non-Artian counterparts, either through higher attack power or, in the case of Fire and Water, enhanced performance with powerful close-range coatings. Paralysis is also a great choice as a general-purpose option.

For the Artian Bow, Attack Boost is the recommended bonus. Boosting raw attack power is the most effective way to increase overall damage output, especially when combined with strong elemental coatings and consistent shot placement.

What are Artian Weapons?
Weapons Forgeable With 3 Artian Parts
Artian weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds are weapons forged using three Artian parts (relics). The type of weapon and its performance vary depending on the combination of parts used and the bonuses they grant.
How to Unlock Artian Weapons & RerollUnlocked After Chapter 4-3
Artian weapons become available after completing Chapter 4-3, which unlocks at HR 20, following the defeat of Tempered Lala Barina and Guardian Fulgur. After this point, Tempered Monsters will start appearing in the field, allowing you to farm the necessary parts for crafting Artian weapons by hunting them.
Full Story WalkthroughStrengthened Further with Reinforce Bonuses
Artian weapons can receive up to five Reinforcement Bonuses through Reinforce, separate from their initial Production Bonuses. These Reinforcement Bonuses are assigned randomly each time you reinforce the weapon, so you'll need to keep forging until you get the ideal set. However, once a bonus has been applied, it cannot be undone, so choose carefully.
Reroll is Possible
Reinforcement Bonuses are applied in a fixed order unique to each weapon. This means that if you have a large stock of Artian parts, you can predict upcoming bonuses and plan your upgrades accordingly.
