Monster Hunter Rise Dereliction: Stats, Active, Unlock

The Dereliction skill in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is a unique addition to the game, exclusively available on Master Rank armor sets. Master Rank represents the game’s true endgame challenge, with tougher monsters and increased difficulty.

This skill has garnered attention in the MHR Reddit and Discord communities, with both veterans and skilled players considering it one of the best skills to use. While there aren’t specific builds for it yet, it can complement various playstyles effectively

How to Activate Dereliction Skill

The skill description itself states that upon activation, it will drain the user’s health points. However, with that effect, it will also boost their overall attack damage. Like any other skill in the game, Dereliction has 3 levels. It also allows you to regenerate health upon swapping between your weapon “switch skills” during combat.

Activating Dereliction Skill:

• Drain user’s health but boosts attack damage.
• Has 3 skill levels.
• Regenerates health when swapping weapon “switch skills.”
• Spawns butterfly-like spirits called ‘Qurios.’
• Maximum of 3 Qurios at max skill level.
• Skill bonuses vary in blue or red scroll.
• Recommended to craft leg piece armor for Rank 1.

Dereliction Skill Levels

Each armor and weapon skill have three different tiers or levels. With each level, they grant more and more bonuses on top of the existing bonus. So it is worth experimenting with each armor’s skills to build the ideal build for your playstyle. Following are the skill levels of Dereliction in the Sunbreak DLC of Monster Hunter Rise:

Level 1:

• Red Scroll: Increased elemental and status values.
• Blue Scroll: Increased attack and stun potency.
• Blue: +15 attack, Red: +5 elemental attack.

Level 2:

• Further boosted bonuses.
• Blue: +20 attack, Red: +7 elemental attack.

Level 3:

• Maximum points.
• Blue: +25 attack, Red: +10 elemental attack.

Equipping these armor pieces will grant you access to the Dereliction skill, allowing you to enjoy its bonuses and buffs in the game.

Tips for the Efficient Dereliction Skill Playstyle

When it comes down to using the skill, it can overwhelm certain players. The skill is hard to fixate in most builds because you are constantly bombarded with health loss. It can be a downside for players who struggle to keep up sustained damage on Monsters. However, in the hands of skilled players, dereliction is insanely viable. Here are some tips:

• Super Recovery Dango: Visit the in-game canteen to create and eat Super Recovery Dango. This snack provides a permanent health regen buff during the hunt, gradually healing about 33% of your total health. While it may not seem like much, it proves beneficial and is worth the Zen cost. Consider eating it before tackling challenging monsters.
• Gourmet Fish: Farm Pop-Fish and exchange them at the Dango Stall for Motley Mix, which can be converted into Gourmet Fish food items. Gourmet Fish not only heals all the red health lost due to the Qurio spirit HP drain but also provides a potent Health Regen buff. This buff is more robust than the Dango HP recovery, reducing the health drain by 70%. It’s an excellent choice to run continuously when using the Dereliction skill.

The Verdict

In hindsight, the skill has had many players tempted to run it on most of their raw DPS builds. Along with Dereliction players will also receive the Resentment skill from the armor pieces. It will increase your overall damage while your health is in the recoverable stage (the red portion of your health gauge).

Although running the skill on your build makes every fight a high-risk high-reward situation. You can also try pairing it up with the Coalescence Skill. Which temporarily increases your attack damage after recovering from various Status Effects of the game, including the likes of the Frenzy virus or Qurio health loss.

No doubt the skill is becoming immensely popular among the fanbase recently. It is also helping speedrunners of the game re-adjust their builds to get faster times on killing monsters with massive values of damage per hit. We can only hope the skill becomes a weapon of mass destruction in every other player’s hands too.
