To maximize damage efficiency during a hunt, focus your initial attacks on a single monster part (such as Arkveld Horns or Rey Dau Wings) to open a Wound node. Once the red wound appears, triggering a Focus Strike guarantees Weakness Exploit Lv3 (+60% Affinity) and delivers a massive rupture stagger.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Effective Raw (EFR) in Monster Hunter Wilds?
Effective Raw (EFR) represents your weapon’s true physical damage output before monster armor reduction. It multiplies True Raw with Sharpness modifiers (White: 1.32x, Purple: 1.39x) and expected critical strike scaling: EFR = Total Raw × Sharpness Mod × [1 + (Affinity/100 × (Crit Boost - 1))].
How do Focus Strike wound ruptures scale with attack motion values?
Executing a Focus Strike on a glowing red wound deals high-motion-value physical damage that ignores monster hard deflections, plus an additional flat rupture burst (+120 to +250 damage) boosted by the Focus Strike Mastery armor skill.
How does Negative Affinity affect damage in MH Wilds?
Weapons with negative affinity (e.g. -15% or -20%) have a chance to proc a "Feeble Hit", which deals 0.75x (25% reduced) physical damage. This makes Critical Eye and Weakness Exploit essential to neutralize the negative penalty.
