How To Use Wirebug In MH Rise

Different Buttons For Blademaster & Gunner

Blademaster	While Unsheathed + While Unsheathed +
Gunner	While Unsheathed + While Unsheathed +

Blademasters and Gunners will operate differently as seen above. The common point here is that they may only be used while the weapon is unsheathed.

Wirebug Gauge

Silk bind attacks are activated by using up the Wirebug Gauge. Gauge consumption and recovery time vary per Silk bind attack. If you use Wirebug without thinking, you might not have enough gauge to perform certain attacks at opportune times, so make sure to save your gauges for Silk bind attacks.

Hunting Edge can be switched with Adamant Charged Slash which dashes straight ahead and finishes with a Strong Charged Slash. This move prevents being affected by knockdown attacks while being executed. Considering Hunting Edge is known to be difficult to perform, there's a high chance that Adamant Charged Slash will be the main attack of choice among the two.

Power Sheathe

Power Sheathe increases your attack power for a short period of time as you sheathe the weapon. Since you'll be sheathing the weapon frequently, this move will come in handy in many situations.
