Glass Royale

Stun Monsters In Place Constantly

• Damage: 840
• Status/Element: Paralysis
• Skills: Protective Polish lv.3, Speed Sharpening lv. 2
• Echo Bubble: Evasion & Movement Speed Up

Starting off strong, a great Hunting Horn option for players to consider is the Glass Royale Hunting Horn. While many of the weapon options in Monster Hunter Wilds, when focusing on the horns, usually look at the buffs it can give the player or the amount of damage it does, the Vespoid option in Monster Hunter Wilds is great for those who wish to exploit elemental damage, such as Paralysis.

The Glass Royale can stun a monster in place with this paralysis, as well as also be able to stun a monster with just the regular hits of the hunting horn. With echo bubbles that increase the movement of the player, it can also be a great option for those who struggle to get out of the way of the danger.

7

Perun Clairhorn

A Good Mix Between Support And Damage

• Damage: 924
• Status/Element: Thunder
• Skills: Stamina Thief lv.3, Horn Maestro lv. 2
• Echo Bubble: Health Regeneration

When using the Hunting Horn in Monster Hunter Wilds, the majority of this type of weapon tend to supply players with ways to support their team. However, some options like the Perun Clairhorn, which is made from the parts of Ray Dau, are perfect for those looking for a weapon that has a mix of melodies and decent damage to allow players to both support themselves and other hunters while also being able to fight confidently against monsters.

A player may use a small attack up melody to increase their damage, or put down a health regeneration echo bubble to bring up their health without needing to use any potions. This isn’t even acknowledging the thunder damage that the horn also does.

6

Gramklang

Increase Affinity Through Song

• Damage: 840
• Status/Element: Dragon
• Skills: Critical Element lv.3
• Echo Bubble: Evasion & Movement Speed Up

Gramklang already has one of the highest affinity scores out of all the Hunting Horns in Monster Hunter Wilds. However, this high-damaging weapon can go even higher due to having melodies like Affinity/Healthy Recovery due to it increasing an already 20% affinity even higher to allow the player more chances at critically hitting a monster and then doing a bonus amount of damage to it.

War Conga

Plenty Of Supportive Melodies For Teams

• Status/Element: Raw
• Skills: Horn Maestro lv. 2, Speed Sharpening lv. 1

Players may be surprised to see the War Conga so high up on the list of the best Hunting Horns in Monster Hunter Wilds. Though it may have low affinity and less damage than most, this is the perfect weapon choice for any player who is hoping to enjoy hunting monsters with others.

With an assortment of melodies that can either increase the health recovery of a fellow player or even grant them an antidote if they have been poisoned, this Hunting Horn was made for a player who wishes to stay in the back and use various team synergies with other weapons to easily deal with monsters. While this weapon may not be useful when playing with random players, it still has plenty of potential when enjoying Monster Hunter Wilds with friends.

Summoning Bell

High Affinity And Ear Plugs On A Healing Horn

• Damage: 882
• Status/Element: Water
• Skills: Slicked Blade lv. 3, Critical Element lv. 1
• Echo Bubble: Stamina Regeneration

Although Monster Hunter Wilds already had plenty of monsters to fight and weapons to craft from them, the first large update for the game by Capcom added an old favorite for players to challenge themselves against once more. By fighting Mizutsune, players will obtain the materials needed to craft the powerful Summoning Bell, which has a lot of potential for those willing to create a build around it.

Besides being a healing horn, which means players can easily support themselves with it, the Summoning Bell is another Hunting Horn with which players can increase affinity. This, therefore, means they are more likely to critical hit opponents while dealing a large amount of damage.

3

Rathalos Feroce

High Damage And Ways To Buff It

• Damage: 840
• Status/Element: Fire
• Skills: Critical Boost lv. 3
• Echo Bubble: Evasion & Movement Speed Up

Opposing Water, another Hunting Horn option players should be sure to consider, is the ever-loved Rathalos Feroce. Since this monster has appeared in so many Monster Hunter games in the past, it’s no surprise that the weapons made from it are also some of the best in the franchise, too. This includes Monster Hunter Wilds.

Resounding Galahad

Made For Maximum Damage

• Damage: 882
• Status/Element: Dragon
• Skills: Slugger lv. 2, Horn Maestro lv 2
• Echo Bubble: Defense & Elemental Res Up

When reaching the end game in Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s important even for those using the Hunting Horn to make sure they are doing a large amount of damage so they can easily hold their own against some of the most extreme monsters in the game, especially when they are frenzied or tempered.

Although the player will have to fight Arkveld for the chance to make the Resounding Galahad, the Dragon elemental damage will also be perfect when fighting other difficult monsters. This is only made stronger by Attack Up (L).

Omiltika

A Fully Customizable Hunting Horn

• Damage: 798
• Status/Element: Any

Therefore, a player may choose what elemental damage they wish to use, depending on the parts they select, as well as this also determining which melodies are available to players. Overall, when reaching the endgame, players should be sure to hone their Hunting Horn with this Artian option.
