Monster Hunter Wilds Patch 1.021 Weapon Buffs & Talisman Synergies – Best Builds, Farming & Meta Guide

on

Patch 1.021 for Monster Hunter Wilds didn’t just add Glowing Stones and Appraised Talismans—it flipped the meta on its head with major weapon buffs. Lance finally hits like a truck, Insect Glaive got its aerial edge back, Dual Blades are faster than ever, and Great Sword’s charge meta feels smoother and stronger.

But here’s the question: How do you pair these buffs with the RNG-heavy Talisman system to break into the new meta?

In this guide, we’ll cover:
✔️ Key weapon buffs in Patch 1.021
✔️ Best Talisman skill combos for each weapon
✔️ Efficiency farming routes for Glowing Stones
✔️ A tier list of meta-defining Talismans

1. Lance – The Unbreakable Wall Gets Stronger

Monster Hunter Wilds Patch 1.021 Weapon Buffs & Talisman Synergies
Patch 1.021 Buffs:

  • Power Guard damage reduction increased.

  • Hitboxes fixed for smoother counters.

  • Faster chains after Perfect Guards.

Best Talisman Synergies:

  • Guard + Offensive Guard – Turns defense into offense.

  • Critical Boost + Weakness Exploit – Punishes weak points after counters.

  • Burst Boost (Lv2) – Now adds +18 raw, perfect for Lance’s multi-hits.

💡 Why It Works: A Guard Lv3 + Offensive Guard Lv2 roll lets you wall against 9★ Tempered Gore Magala while dishing 30%+ boosted counter damage.

2. Insect Glaive – Aerial Dominance Returns

Patch 1.021 Buffs:

  • Strong Double Slash & Tornado Slash boosted.

  • Longer i-frames on vaults.

  • Fixed weak midair hits.

Best Talisman Synergies:

  • Evade Extender + Constitution – Aerial movement coverage.

  • Airborne + Critical Eye – Stronger vault damage.

  • Wirebug Whisperer – More uptime for Kinsect spamming.

💡 Why It Works: With Evade Extender Lv2, you can vault past Lagiacrus’s thunder blasts, counter with Tornado Slash, now ~15% stronger.

3. Dual Blades – Demon Mode Goes Turbo

Patch 1.021 Buffs:

  • New finisher: Turning Tidedrill.

  • Elemental scaling buffed.

Best Talisman Synergies:

💡 Why It Works: Focus Lv3 saves seconds on True Charged Slash, giving you openings on Tempered Diablos.

5. Farming Glowing Stones for Talismans

Top 9★ Tempered Monsters (Efficiency Tested):

  • Gore Magala – ~20 min clear → 2–3 stones/run (high risk, high yield).

  • Lagiacrus – ~18 min clear → 1–2 stones/run (safe, steady farm).

  • Seregios – ~12 min clear → 1–2 stones/run (fastest for Constitution rolls).

Melding Tips:

  • Convert unused Talismans (10 pts each).

  • Focus on Rarity 7–8 for Lv3 skill rolls.

Talisman Synergy Tier List (Patch 1.021)

  • S-Tier: Guard + Offensive Guard, Constitution + Stamina Surge, Focus + Quick Sheath

  • A-Tier: Airborne + Critical Eye, Attack Boost + Agitator

  • B-Tier: Defensive rolls like Divine Blessing + Recovery Speed
