Great Sword New Attacks

Silkbind: Strongarm Stance

A technique that uses Ironsilk to reinforce both your arms and weapon temporarily to fend off attacks. If used while charging, you can quickly parry an attack and then unleash a fierce onslaught afterwards.

Switch Skill: Surge Slash Combo

This is an offensive style that combines speed with the weight of the weapon to unleash a stream of powerful slashes. Proper footwork is required, but allows for a large number of combos.

Long Sword New Attacks

Silkbind: Harvest Moon

A move that casts out an Ironsilk ring that narrows your range of attack, but boosts spirit so you can go on the offensive. Within the ring, your Spirit Gauge won't deplete, and if you perform any counter attacks, it will add additional hits.

Switch Skills: Sacred Sheathe Combo

A slow methodical movement that can be executed following an attack.Upon sheathing your weapon, you can harness the increased spirit to unleash a follow-up slash. The power of the slash increases according to the level of the Spirit Gauge. If you are attacked before you have finished with the sheathing, it will consume one level of Spirit Gauge and the move will be canceled.

Long Sword Related Guides

Sword & Shield New Attacks

Silkbind: Destroyer Oil

Uses a Wirebug to cover your blade with a special ointment whose effects trigger if ignited by friction with your shield. While active, monsters flinch more easily, creating more openings for attack.

Switch Skills: Twin Blade Combo

A two-part attack that opens with a circular slash and follows up with a blade thrust. An easy attack to get multiple hits in with, so ideal for weapons with high elemental and status properties.

Sword & Shield Related Guides

Dual Blades New Attacks

Silkbind: Spiral Slash

A Silkbind attack that launches you spiraling forwards. Once your attack connects, your body acts as a drill as your blades bore into your target's flesh. Note: You can also perform a Spiral Slash midair.

Switch Skills: Slide Slash Combo

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. This technique allows you to attack while evading, and if you work it into your combos, you can unleash a relentless attack that's difficult to defend against.

Dual Blades Related Guides

Hammer New Attacks

Silkbind: Impact Burst

A Silkbind attack that wraps your weapon in Ironsilk. For a short period of time, any charged attack performed causes the silk to vibrate, creating a shockwave that makes it easier to flinch monsters.

Switch Skills: Spinning Bludgeon: Charge

A technique that stores released power and funnels it into the next Charge Switch attac. Power is built up when performing a Spinning Bludgeon. The charge level is then maintained when executing a Charge Switch. Make good use of this to unleash a series of level 3 charged attacks.

Hammer Related Guides

Hunting Horn New Attacks

Silkbind: Silkbind Shockwave

A Silkbind attack that wraps your weapon in Ironsilk. For a short period of time, any attack performed causes the silk to vibrate, creating a time-delayed shockwave that triggers additional hits. These additional hits do major stun, exhaust, and part damage.

Switch Skills: Swing Combo

A two-hit attack that can be delivered from either the left or right. This allows you to quickly shift directions, making it useful for repositioning.

Hunting Horn Related Guides

Lance New Attacks

Silkbind: Skyward Thrust

A technique where a Wirebug launches you high into the air. Thrust your lance towards the heavens and then pierce the earth. The falling portion of the attack inflicts multiple hits.

Switch Skills: Shield Tackle

A technique where you charge forward with your shield raised. You can also follow up with a variety of thrusting attacks. Watch for an opening and then unleash an unrelenting series of attacks.

Lance Related Guides

Gunlance Attacks

Silkbind: Bullet Barrage

Uses a Wirebug to Blast Dash toward your target, unleashing everything with abandon. Be careful: Shells, Wyrmstake Cannon, and Wyvern's Fire will automatically be reloaded first before performing the attack.

Switch Skills: Erupting Cannon

This technique involves firing an exploding stake into your target. When using the Eruption Cannon, the tip of the gunlance heats up and slashing attacks are enhanced for a certain period of time.

Gunlance Related Guides

Switch Axe New Attacks

Silkbind: Elemental Burst Counter

Compresses Switch Gauge energy, that can be released as an Elemental Burst. If the burst is released right as a monster attacks, you'll perform a Power Finisher and your switch axe will go into an Amped State.

Switch Skills: 2-Staged Morph Slash Combo

A two-staged Morph Slash attack that follows an Axe: Wild Swing.

During this combo, the power of Sword Mode attacks increase and Axe Mode attacks fill the Switch Gauge faster.

Switch Axe Related Guides

Charge Blade New Attacks

Silkbind: Ready Stance

A Silkbind maneuver that binds sword and axe together with Ironsilk. After guarding, a heavy knockback leaves you in Sword Mode, and lowers your guard reaction so you're able to chain sword/axe attacks.

Switch Skills: Phial Follow-up: Firing Pin

A mechanism that lowers the pressure of elemental energy generated through Shield Thrust during Elemental Boost, or by sword attacks while in Sword Boost Mode. The elemental energy generated builds up on your target, but disappears over time. It can be detonated by any attack in Axe Mode, and extending the time limit of the Elemental Boost.

Charge Blade Related Guides

Bow New Attacks

Silkbind: Butcher's Bind

Fires an arrow loaded with Ironsilk. If the follow-up arrow lands in the same spot as the first, Ironsilk winds around both arrows, inflicting severing damage. If the second arrow is off target, the lodged arrow disappears.

Switch Skill: Stake Thrust

An attack that thrusts an explosive stake into your target. The stake reacts to follow-up attacks, dealing extra damage to the target. The amount of extra damage dealt is determined by type of arrow loosed.

Bow Related Guides

Insect Glaive New Attacks

Silkbind: Awakened Kinsect Attack

A technique where you hurl a Kinsect to inflict massive damage. All extracts are consumed and the more extract you have, the more potent this attack will be. After launching the Kinsect, you'll close in using a Wirebug; simultaneously absorbing extract, marking the target, and then chaining into a Vaulting Dance.

Switch Skills: Kinsect Slash

A mid-air technique where you thrust forward with your glaive and Kinsect. If the slash connects, you'll perform a Vaulting Dance, absorbing extract. However, once you've absorbed red extract with Kinsect Slash, you won't be able to absorb any other extract with it, but you'll be able to perform an Enhanced Insect Spiker as a trade-off.

Insect Glaive Related Guides

Light Bowgun New Attacks

Silkbind: Wyvern Counter

An urgent retreat that fires a shot with massive recoil, using a Wirebug to stop. While not a powerful attack, its true value comes when it's used to evade incoming attacks. If timed right, you'll retreat with an explosive exit that can even neutralize breath attacks.

Switch Skills: Critical Firepower

A special shooting style that further raises damage output but narrows critical distance and increases recoil. Because the distance at which the power of ammo is most effective has been reduced, you will need to be aware and adjust your firing position. Note: Does not apply to certain ammo types.

Light Bowgun Related Guides

Heavy Bowgun New Attacks

Silkbind: Setting Sun

A Silkbind technique in which a Wirebug generates a ring of Ironsilk. Special powder accumulates within the ring, and when ammo passes through it, the velocity of the ammo is decreased. Firing piercing ammo/multi-hit ammo through the ring will boost the total number of hits upon impact.

Switch Skills: Crouching Shot

A style of shooting that utilizes a special stance to reduce recoil. In exchange for not being able to move, you're able to fire in rapid succession. The longer you fire, the shorter the firing interval becomes, but at the risk of overheating your bowgun. If your bowgun overheats, it can't be fired until it has cooled down. Note: Certain ammo types cannot be used.

How To Use Wirebug In MH Rise

Different Buttons For Blademaster And 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.
