How to Unlock Switch Skills

Learn how to unlock Switch Skills for all weapons in Monster Hunter Rise. Master Utsushi holds the key to expanding your combat options. Get started now!

Alright, so you've been playing Monster Hunter Rise and you're probably wondering about those cool new moves your weapon can do, right? Those are called Switch Skills, and they're a pretty big deal! Basically, each weapon gets three different sets of skills, and you can swap between them. This means you can totally customize your playstyle and have different moves ready for different situations. Pretty neat, huh?

How to Get Your First Switch Skills:

The first time you unlock these awesome skills, you'll get a brand new set for every single weapon in the game. To make this happen, you just need to hit a certain milestone: either reach 3-star (3☆) Village Quests or 2-star (2☆) Hub Quests. Once you've done that, make your way to the Gathering Hub and find Master Utsushi. He's the guy who will hook you up with your initial set of Switch Skills.

Swapping Your Skills Around:

So, you've got your new skills, now what? You can change them up whenever you want at any item box. Super convenient! Honestly, the best place to try out your new loadout is probably the Training Area. There's an item box there too, so you can mess around with your skills and see what feels best before you head out on a hunt. It's a good idea to experiment!

When you're at an item box and choose the 'Change Switch Skill' option, you'll see your current moves and the new ones you've unlocked. You can swap out one skill for each weapon type to start. Keep in mind, though, that unlocking your second and third sets of Switch Skills will require you to make progress with each individual weapon. So, happy hunting and experimenting!
