ALL Charge Blades Boosted for Even Happier Charge Blade Hunting!

Hunters,

Numbers of Bazelgeuse, Zinogre, Volvidon, Aknosom, and Barroth are on the rise, Bazelgeuse invasions are expected to increase in volatile territories, and we’re even expecting Nergigante appearances at Elder Dragon Interceptions!
As a result of changes in Dimensional Rifts, dimensionally linked monsters are also showing more activity than usual!

To help you take advantage of this surge in monsters, we’ve prepared limited-time quests, some focused on group hunts. Complete all quests to earn valuable rewards like a Nergigante Horn+, Bazelgeuse Plate, and Zinogre Plate. You can also enjoy boosted rewards for both group hunts and Hunt-a-thons!

During this event, all charge blades and certain armor will receive performance boosts based on the strength of the monsters you hunt, making it easier than ever to go hunting with your charge blade. We’ve also added limited-time quests that require you to take down monsters using a charge blade or specific armor. This is the perfect opportunity to forge and upgrade your charge blades!
The charge blade lets you switch between Sword Mode and Axe Mode, charging phials in Sword Mode and unleashing devastating high-power attacks in Axe Mode.

Get ready to master the charge blade and join forces with hunters around the world for epic hunts!

From Monday, June 2nd, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. until Sunday, June 8th, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (local time)
