Builds Meta in Monster Hunter WIlds

Current Meta Armor Sets

Armor	Pros and Cons
Gogmazios ★★★★★	(+) Great for mixed sets to activate Set Bonus Skills such as Second Wind and Burst Boost. (+) Gogmapocalypse works well with elemental builds. (-) β pieces have underwhelming Set Bonus Skills and have identical slot configurations as α pieces.
NEW Arkveld γ ★★★★★	(+) Pieces have highly sought-after skills such as Guts (Tenacity) and Weakness Exploit. (+) Flayer and Blight Resistance are generally useful for all weapon types. (+) Elemental Absorption and Convert Element can be useful for elemental builds. (-) Has limited level 3 decoration slots.
Gore Magala ★★★★★	(+) Provides an easy source of Affinity via Black Eclipse and Antivirus. (+) Both α and β set contains level 3 Decoration Slots (-) Basically forces you to run Antivirus to take advantage of the set bonus, even when only using 2 pieces
Rey Dau γ ★★★★	(+) Guts (Tenacity) provides an attack buff as long as it's active. (+) Vambraces has two level 3 decoration slots and Evade Extender 2, a common comfort skill. (-) Has very limited decoration slots.
Lagiacrus ★★★★	(+)Azure Bolt provides affinity when activated (+) Good source of Weakness Exploit and Maximum Might (-) β set contains only two level 3 Decoration slots (-) Running four pieces for Azure Bolt II limits your skill choices.
G. Ebony ★★★★	(+) Piece can be paired with Gogmazios Coil α to activate Burst Boost. (+) Pieces can be Transcended for more decoration slots and defense.
G. Fulgur ★★★★	(+) Piece be paired with Gogmazios Vambraces α to activate Second Wind. (+) Second Wind synergizes well with Maximum Might. (+) Pieces can be Transcended for more decoration slots and defense.
Zoh Shia ★★★	(+) Provides passive healing thanks to Super Recovery. (+) Great for elemental builds thanks to Coalescence and Elemental Absorption. (-) Only the β set contains level 3 Decoration Slots.
Nu Udra γ, Uth Duna γ, Dahaad γ ★★★	(+) Armor pieces provide more options to fit Guts (Tenacity) in mixed sets. (+) Pieces usually have multiple level 3 decoration slots. (-) Full sets are underwhelming
Omega ★★★★	(+) Omega Resonance provides a flexible boost in damage. (+) Provides hefty bonuses to Affinity or Attack. (-) Synthetic Shield and Synergy require specific moves to activate. (-) Omega Resonance may force you into a bad position.
Bale ★★★	(+) Soul of the Dark Knight provides decent utility for Great Sword. (-) Niche set best used with the True Shadowbringer.
Seregios ★★★	(+) Great for evasion builds thanks to Razor's Edge and Adrenaline Rush. (+) Numerous Level 3 Decoration Slots for build flexibility. (-) Not all weapons can effectively use Adrenaline Rush, limiting this armor's use.

Gogmazios α chest, arms, and waist pieces are strong for mixed sets, enabling Set Bonus Skills such as Second Wind and Burst Boost. Gogmapocalypse is especially effective for elemental builds after Title Update 4's buffs to elemental scaling.

The Gore Magala set remains one of the top picks due to the free Affinity provided by Black Eclipse, making it useful for all weapons, especially when combined with Antivirus. The Zoh Shia set is also recommended for its offensive skills and comfort thanks to Super Recovery.

Guts (Tenacity) is a valuable skill for difficult quests such as Arch-Tempered Monsters, 9-Star Quests, and 10-Star Quests. The latest addition of the Arkveld γ set opens up more options to activate this skill while also providing Weakness Exploit, a reliable and consistent Affinity skill.

The Omega set is ideal for multiplayer hunts, as it relies on other hunters to activate its buffs. It also requires careful attention to your own positioning, since the buffs you receive depend on the location of your allies.

Running Full Sets is Not Always Good

It's important to note that when picking your armor, running a full set from one monster is not always ideal, even if it gives you a Level 2 set bonus. This is because full armor sets usually lock you to a few core skills, with the ability to add skills dictated by that armor set's Decoration slots and your available Talismans.

Not only that, but using a full armor set also means you have one or two elemental resistances that are very low. The Rey Dau γ set, for example, gives you a -10 Resistance to Water and a -15 Resistance to Ice, which can make normally survivable elemental attacks fatal.

State of the Meta: Title Update 4

Current Meta Weapons

Weapon Tree	Pros and Cons
Gogma Artian Weapons ★★★★★	(+) Direct upgrades for regular Artian weapons (+) Can have one Set Bonus and one Group Skill to enable various builds (-) Rerolling for reinforcements and skills rapidly consumes materials and zenny.
Zoh Shia ★★★★	(+) Melee weapons have high Raw, white Sharpness, and okay Affinity. (+) Whiteflame Torrent is nice for additional damage output. (+) Good alternative for Artian weapons against Gogmazios (-) Decoration slots may feel lacking due to decreasing levels (3-2-1).
Artian ★★★★	(+) Very flexible in terms of stats and element. (+) Can reach high stat values with the correct reinforcement. (+) Has three Level 3 Decoration slots for skill flexibility. (-) Reinforcement stats are random. (-) Rerolling can get tiring and can burn through materials quickly.
G.Arkveld/Arkveld ★★★	(+) Guardian variant has high Raw and decent sharpness, perfect for builds that don't crit. (+) Normal variant has slightly lower raw, but has white Sharpness and neutral Affinity. (+) Guardian Gunlance and Great Sword are some of the best in the game. (-) Negative Affinity on Guardian variations. (-) Decoration slots on normal variant may feel lacking thanks to decreasing level (3-2-1).
Lagiacrus ★★★	(+) Great Thunder weapons thanks to high Raw and decent white Sharpness. (+) Convert Thunder Resistance perfect for converting excess resistance to damage. (+) Decent Ammo loadout for Bowguns. (-) Convert Thunder Resistance useless if current armor has no Thunder Resistance.
Seregios ★★★	(+) Bladescale Honing and Bladescale Loading perfect for evasion-heavy weapons. (+) Evading Reload on Bowguns makes Spread Ammo viable. (+) Decent white sharpness on melee weapons and High Affinity for all of them. (-) Practice needed to fully maximize Bladescale skills.
True Omega's Sword & True Omega's Rod ★★★	(+) Synthetic Shield and Synergy is great for party play. (-) Requires using specific moves to activate: Perfect Guard and Rising Spiral Slash respectively.

Gogma Artian Weapons are direct upgrades to regular Artian weapons and are currently regarded as the definitive endgame choice. Their superior stats and skills allow for greater build diversity. Regular Artian weapons are still usable, but they should be upgraded to unlock their full potential.

As for normal weapons, G.Arkveld and Arkveld weapons, provide high raw damage, although the Guardian variant suffers from negative Affinity. The Lagiacrus weapons, on the other hand, are great Thunder weapons, and can help with the upcoming Arch-Tempered Uth Duna.

While highly situational, the Seregios weapons are also great, especially for evasion-heavy weapons like the Dual Blades, Light Bowgun, and Bow. You will, however, need to practice to maximize the skill, while also creating an armor set specifically for dodging.

Best Builds for Beating Omega Planetes

Optimize Build According to Roles

Role	Role Summary
Tank	・Prioritizes holding enmity ・Ideally uses Lance or Gunlance ・Guard and Guard Up recommended
Support	・Heals and buffs allies ・Ideally uses SNS or Hunting Horn ・Wide-Range recommended
DPS	・Provides consistent damage ・Any Lagiacrus weapon is ideal ・Thunder Attack recommended

The best builds for beating Omega Planetes depend on the role you choose to fulfill.

Tanks are advised to use the Lance or Gunlance to comfortably maintain enmity. Supports should consider Sword and Shield for quick item use, or Hunting Horn to provide team-wide buffs. DPS players can opt for any Lagiacrus weapon, as Omega Planetes is weak to Thunder.
