Unleash the Power of Mizutsune’s Bubbly Dance in Monster Hunter Wilds!

by

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the Mizutsune’s armor collection comes back, retaining its distinctive Bubbly Dance set perk. This bonus allows players another method to savor a gameplay style focused on dodging. Although it functions uniquely compared to other armor set bonuses, with proper use, it can undeniably be beneficial.

When choosing an armor set in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, the set bonuses can be just as vital as the inherent equipment skills and the available decoration slots. If you want to understand how Bubbly Dance functions, we’ll cover its key aspects in this tutorial.

How Does Bubbly Dance Work in MH Wilds?

The bubbly dance ability is activated when a player equips either two or four items from the Mizutsune armor set, as rewarded by the Mizutsune’s Prowess bonus effect. This action grants the following benefits:

  • (2pc) Prevents major Bubbleblight and increases evasion capabilities while affected by minor Bubbleblight.
  • (4pc) In addition to the 2pc bonus, players will now get afflicted with minor Bubbleblight after dodging three consecutive times.

In essence, the Bubbly Dance move shares some resemblance with the Black Eclipse skill in MH Wilds, as they both cause detrimental effects on players. Specifically, Bubbly Dance triggers a condition known as Bubbleblight.

For those who might not know, minor Bubbleblight offers protection to players by extending the invincibility period during their dodge rolls. Conversely, major Bubbleblight negatively impacts players by causing them to lose balance and slide when dodging. This effect also amplifies the damage that hunters sustain from attacks strong enough to knock them off balance.

While performing the Bubbly Dance move, you’ll ensure that severe Bubbleblight doesn’t impact you. Furthermore, if you dodge three times, you’ll acquire minor Bubbleblight, which enhances your agility to dodge effectively. This advantage is particularly useful for most playstyles, but it significantly benefits users of weapons such as Dual Blades, Bows, Long Swords, and lighter weaponry more noticeably.

Should You Use Bubbly Dance?

If you find yourself struggling against Bubbleblight when battling a Mizutsune, the Bubbly Dance move is beneficial. However, for other monsters, players might find equal effectiveness by donning an armor set that boasts an Evade Window of level 5.

Using Bubbly Dance 2 in conjunction with four parts of the Mizutsune armor offers an advantage: it grants additional dodge invincibility frames (i-frames), eliminating the need for talismans or decorations related to Evade Window. This provides a bit more freedom when constructing your character’s build.

Furthermore, this ability complements the special skill called “Slicked Blade,” a unique feature exclusive to Mizutsune’s weapons. When under the effect of Bubbleblight (a minor status), Slicked Blade can boost players’ Affinity by up to 21%, and an extra 9% when they are wet.

To fully utilize Bubbly Dance, you require all four items from the Mizutsune set. Unfortunately, this setup reduces the variety in building customizations.

A complete Mizutsune equipment set coupled with its corresponding weapon works effectively against monsters vulnerable to Water damage. However, when facing anything not weak to Water, players must relinquish their Water weapon, compromising the distinctive trait of Bubbly Dance. Nonetheless, the Mizutsune armor set is an excellent choice for those aiming to create a Burst 5 build with robust dodging skills.
