Monster Hunter Wilds Patch 1.021 Multiplayer Meta – Best Team Comps for 9★ Hunts

on

 Patch 1.021 in Monster Hunter Wilds unleashed 9★ Tempered Monsters, and they are no joke. These beasts hit harder, move faster, and boast bloated HP pools—turning solo runs into a nightmare of one-shots and 40-minute grinds.

The result? Multiplayer meta matters again. Coordinated teams farming Glowing Stones (for Appraised Talismans) now dominate progression. Random groups (PUGs) are already struggling, while organized squads are clearing hunts in nearly half the time.

This guide breaks down:
✔ The 4 must-have multiplayer roles (Tank, Support, DPS, CC)
✔ Best talisman synergies per role (based on Week 1 community testing)
✔ Monsters to farm vs. monsters to avoid in Patch 1.021
✔ How to adapt when RNG doesn’t give you perfect talismans

The 4 Core Roles for 9★ Hunts

Monster Hunter Wilds Patch 1.021 Multiplayer Meta Guide
1. Tank (Lance / Gunlance) – The Unbreakable Wall

Why it works:

  • Lance’s Power Guard now takes less chip damage, making it the best aggro soaker.

  • Gunlance’s Shelling ignores hitzones, clutch for part-breaking.

Best Talisman Rolls:

  • Guard Lv3 + Offensive Guard Lv2 (core counter synergy)

  • Burst Boost Lv2 (+raw after blocks)

Playstyle Tips:

  • Aggro lock with Counter Rush + Perfect Guards.

  • Stalwart Guard is meta for surviving enraged monster combos.

2. Support (Hunting Horn) – Buffs & Sustain

Why it works:

  • Echo Bubbles → Special Performances chain into permanent buffs.

  • Melody of Life provides clutch burst healing.

Best Talisman Rolls:

  • Wide-Range Lv3 + Speed Eating Lv2 (emergency heals)

  • Horn Maestro Lv2 (buff uptime extension)

Playstyle Tips:

  • Rotate Echo + Resounding Melodies for damage.

  • Save Offset Melody for roar-canceling counter plays.

3. DPS (Dual Blades / Insect Glaive) – Mobile Burst Damage

Why it works:

  • DB’s Turning Tidedrill = insane wounded part shred.

  • IG’s aerial combos bypass deadly ground hazards.

Best Talisman Rolls:

  • Constitution Lv4 + Stamina Surge Lv3 (DB Demon Mode uptime)

  • Airborne Lv2 + Crit Eye Lv3 (IG aerial burst)

Playstyle Tips:

  • Prioritize breaking legs/wings to trigger team-wide trips.

  • Use Perfect Evades to extend Demon Mode uptime.

4. Crowd Control (Heavy / Light Bowgun) – Status & Lockdown

Why it works:

  • HBG’s Wyverncounter staggers even enraged monsters.

  • LBG’s Rapid-Fire Para/Sleep ammo enables burst kill phases.

Best Talisman Rolls:

  • Ballistics Lv3 + Reload Speed Lv2 (HBG pierce build)

  • Spare Shot Lv2 + Status Attack Lv3 (LBG lockdown build)

Playstyle Tips:

  • Sleep-bomb before enrage phases for safe burst.

  • Sticky/Wyvern ammo secures reliable KO damage.

Best 4-Player Team Comps

Comp NameRolesBest For…Weaknesses
Counter RushLance (Tank) + HH (Support) + DB/IG (DPS) + HBG (CC)Gore Magala / LagiacrusLow elemental DPS
Aerial DominationIG (DPS) + LBG (CC) + HH (Support) + GS (Burst)Seregios / ArkveldFragile vs. one-shots
Sleep Bomb MetaLBG (CC) + DB (DPS) + GL (Tank) + HH (Support)Elder DragonsStatus RNG reliant

Why these comps shine:

  • Counter Rush thrives vs. aggressive monsters like Gore Magala.

  • Aerial Domination nullifies ground hazards (perfect for Seregios).

  • Sleep Bomb Meta creates guaranteed burst phases on Elder Dragons.

Week 1 Meta Trends: Farmed vs. Avoided Monsters

Most Avoided (Too Risky in PUGs):

  1. Gore Magala – Chaotic enrage, one-shots common.

  2. Lagiacrus – Thunder AoE punishes melee-heavy comps.

  3. Uth Duna – Fire pools + erratic charges wreck positioning.

Most Farmed (Efficient Glowing Stone clears):

  1. Arkveld – Community’s fastest clear (~10 minutes).

  2. Seregios – IG/LBG shred its weak aerial defenses.

  3. Rey Dau – Predictable, tank-friendly moveset.

💬 Community note: “Arkveld is basically free stones, melts with aerial comps.” — r/MonsterHunter

Adapting to Talisman RNG

Not everyone has god-roll talismans. Here’s how to cope:

  • If missing DPS rolls:

    • Slot Defensive Skills (Divine Blessing, Evade Window).

    • Abuse environmental traps (falling boulders, poison cups).

  • If missing Support rolls:

    • Bring Life Powders / Dust of Life for clutch heals.

    • Switch to SnS for fast item use.

Conclusion: The Multiplayer Meta After Patch 1.021

Patch 1.021 pushed Monster Hunter Wilds into a new multiplayer-first meta. Success in 9★ hunts depends on:
✅ Tank + Support foundation (Lance + HH for survival)
✅ DPS + CC synergy (DB/IG + LBG for lockdown)
✅ Efficient farming targets (Arkveld, Seregios)

Glowing Stone farming is brutal, but with the right comp and smart talisman choices, teams can carve through even the hardest tempered monsters.
