Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Skill List (EN)

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Skill List (EN)

Sourcing: This list was made using Kiranico's English page (https://mhrise.kiranico.com/data/skills) as a base, and I have simply revised some numbers where appropriate (primarily updating base Rise numbers for a handful of Skills that were buffed with Ver 10) and added some explanatory notes and detailed numbers, especially for Skills added in Sunbreak. Sources for numbers were primarily the videos uploaded by @あっと of the YouTube channel　皆で一緒にモンハンライフ (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCawnXB18xMuQXc8b9PIwCPw), and the articles found in the モンスターハンター大辞典 Wiki (https://wikiwiki.jp/nenaiko). I take no credit for any of the information contained within, and merely present this here as an attempt to compile the data together for easier reference.
