Monster Hunter Wilds features a series of frustrating debuffs in the form of Elemental Blights. Alongside the many attacks of the monsters you’ll be hunting, they can occasionally inflict these debuffs if you’re standing in the wrong place or get caught in a blast of fire, for example. Thankfully, removing them is not complicated, but it could get tense depending on what items you have on hand.

No matter which Elemental Blight you incur, there are two reliable ways to remove them. However, one of these is much better than the other. You can either Use a Nullberry or Evade/Dodge a few times in a row. Nullberries are the go-to removal item, but you can only bring ten on a hunt, so you have to be careful.

Thankfully, you can also just dodge a few times — but this drains stamina. Another problem with the dodge method is that you’re also likely going to be low on health — or about to be low on health. You need to make sure this doesn’t ultimately lead to you being defeated.

Finally, your Palico can also occasionally remove your Elemental Blights, in the same way he heals you. You can’t always count on this, but it’s one more way to stay safe and healthy.

It’s worth pointing out that the first and second levels of these crafted Charms just offer resistance — it’s not until you have a level 3 charm that you nullify the Elemental Blight it works against. That makes the Blight Resistance Charm the best because it defends against all Elemental Blights.
