Update Details

Additional Monsters

Meet the following monsters in Monster Hunter Now:

• Nargacuga
• Beotodus
• Bishaten
• Great Wroggi
  • Nargacuga will appear on the field in low numbers.

Weapon Type: Hunting Horn

The hunting horn boosts both yourself and your allies while hunting.

While attacking, you accumulate notes, and by aligning the notes in a specific order, you can trigger various melody effects. These melody effects can include increased attack and defense stats, Special Gauge acceleration, and more. Each weapon has its own unique melody effects that can be activated.
For more information about the hunting horn, see here.

Magnificent Trio (SP) resets the effect time of the melody you’re currently playing and can also apply the effect to your allies.

In the Hunting Horn Training Quest, which will be held from June 19, you’ll have the chance to forge a bone horn and try it out for yourself right away!

Take On Riftborne Monsters

Riftborne monsters appear at 8★ and above, and they are a good deal stronger than usual. They have special parts charged with energy from abnormal rifts, which can be broken to deal damage more easily! By successfully slaying them, you can obtain materials needed for style customization (see explanation further down).
For more information about riftborne monsters, see here.

At the start of Season 6, the following monsters are appearing as riftborne monsters:

• Barroth
• Tobi-Kadachi
• Jyuratodus
• Anjanath
• Rathian
• Barioth

To commemorate the first appearance of riftborne monsters, we’re temporarily easing the material requirements needed to upgrade weapons forged from their parts! See here for details.

Style Customization

Style customization lets you further boost the stats of grade 8 or higher weapons!

Additionally, changing the style of your weapon will allow you to alter the actions of each weapon type. Each weapon will have two new styles to choose from, and depending on the style you select, long-press actions and combos will change, offering different ways to use each weapon.

• Only weapons that can be forged or upgraded with materials from riftborne monsters (Barroth, Tobi-Kadachi, Jyuratodus, Anjanath, Rathian, and Barioth) will be eligible for style customization.
• Style changes will be available for three weapon types: sword & shield, long sword, and light bowgun. Other weapon types will be added in future updates.

For more information about style customization, see here.
