Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak introduces a new, interesting game mechanic called Switch Skill Swap. It allows you to change the Switch Skills you have equipped during a quest, not just before starting it. This can be very useful in combat, as you can tackle different situations using the most appropriate Switch Skill. Let’s see how to do that.
You can refer to the screenshot below for PC keys. And, if you head into the Hunter Info menu, select Game Controls, and then Switch Skill Swap, you will get a useful tutorial with the full key list you need to do that.
Switch Skills loadouts are registered to the Red Switch Skill Swap Scroll and the Blue Switch Skill Swap Scroll. You can change them, going back and forth between the two, without any limitation. The Switch Skill Swap doesn’t consume any Stamina or Wirebug, so you can use it whenever needed.
Your default Switch Skill is registered under the Red Scroll and will be the default option when the quest starts. If you wish to edit the registered Switch Skills, you can do it at any Item Box, including the one you find inside the tent at the start of each quest.
You have unique Switch Skills for each weapon. However, you need to practice a lot and defeat many monsters to see which styles and combinations work best for you. We recommend you spend some hours doing that, even in the Training Area, as enemies you will encounter when playing the Sunbreak DLC are more challenging than those you dealt with in the base game.
