Unlocking special skills in Monster Hunter Now

To unlock special skills, it is crucial to understand how overgrading works in Monster Hunter Now. Overgrading is a term used in this game that refers to an increase in the power level of in-game equipment.

Therefore, players have to overgrade (upgrade) their weapon to grade two to unlock special skills. Once you reach the maximum output within grade one, you can overgrade the weapon to grade two.

To do so, open the equipment menu present in the lower left corner of the map and then look for the upgradable weapons. Different weapons require different materials to overgrade them, and it is essential to collect the materials of the weaponry.

If you have enough materials to overgrade a weapon, it will show you an option called Level Up, and pressing that button initiates the upgrade. Doing that will allow you to unlock special skills and increase the damage output of the equipment.

Using special skills in Monster Hunter Now

Once you have unlocked the special skills of the weaponry of this newly released game, equip the overgraded weapon and enter the battlefield infested with monsters. A gauge bar of your unlocked special skill will appear above the health bar, which is filled by dishing out combos and multiple attacks on the monsters.

Once the gauge bar is filled, the special skill button will start glowing. Press it to unleash a special attack on the beasts. For example, the Sword and Shield weapon dishes out the Perfect Rush Combo skill on the monsters, which deals a considerable amount of damage to the monsters.

Special skills make you immune from the terrifying creatures' offense, allowing you to deal damage without the need to dodge attacks from the beasts.
