MHXX Trump Card

MHXX Trump Card

How to activate:
It activates when a monster is downed (this includes mounts, leg flinches, flashing/flinching out of the sky, gammoth's leg break, astalos's charged part break etc.), trapped, paralysed, or ko'd.
Sleep counts as well, poison doesn't. Simply flashing a monster doesn't work either.

It remains active for one minute, represented by a yellow glow on your hunter's left arm (similar to peak performance).
You cannot extend this duration by trapping again. In other words, downs don't stack.
You don't need to remain in the same area as a monster for it to remain active.
Trump Card also stacks with Challenger: https://twitter.com/JeckMH/status/1346104278205804544?s=20

What it does:
It gives a flat 1.2 damage multiplier to hunter arts and their duration, if any. Hunter arts with motion values are the ones that get the damage multiplier. Hunter arts that have a blue meter that runs out is what I am referring to when I say duration. Arts that do both damage and have a meter get both (like unhinged spirit).

Here are the specific effects it has on certain hunter arts:

Absolute evasion/readiness- two evades rather than one

Frenzy fever- immediately procs the affinity boost

Lion's maw- 1.15 damage boost (to its effect)

Sacrifical Blade- 1.1x damage boost + 1.2x duration

Euphony- 2nd level song effects rather than just 1st

Dragon breath- 1.2 damage boost to shelling

Demon riot- 1.15 multiplier to its effects

Full house- faster animation

Gunpowder infusion- 5 additional bullet infusions

Charge Shot- Loads 5 more charge shots

Arisen phoenix - heals more HP (Changed from gen to xx)
