What is the Heroics Skill in Monster Hunter Wilds
Heroics only activate when you reach below 35% health. Once the threshold is reached, buffs will be given to your character. The game’s health bar will show when you reach the threshold, and the skill activate automatically. Heroics will stay active if you stay on or below 35% health. Once you start healing, the buff from the skill stops.
One thing to take note of is your Palico. Once your character is damaged, your Palico will come to heal you from any damage. Try to prevent your companion from healing you to maintain the buffs from Heroics. If they heal you, you can get hit to meet the health threshold again.
All Heroics Skill Levels and How to Use Them
Heroics have varying levels with different effects. Here are all the levels in the Heroics skill.
- Level 1: +50 Defense
- Level 2: +5% Attack and +50 Defense
- Level 3: +5% Attack and +100 Defense
- Level 4: +10% Attack and +100 Defense
- Level 5: +30% Attack
The level for Heroics is determined by the number of gear you have equipped at a time. It’s best to reach Level 4 in Heroics if you want buffs for Attack and Defense. If you want to go all out and risk it all during a Hunt, you can use Level 5 Heroics. You can get knocked out 2 times during a Hunt and respawn but fail the Hunt if you get knocked out a third time. You can go all out on your first two lives with Level 5 Heroics for the boost in Attack, then focus on defense later.
It’s up to you how to use the Heroics skill. It can be helpful during challenging times in a Hunt. If you want to try the skill out, look for gear with Heroics and begin your Hunt!
