There are also improvements tothe game’s Mantles, where using one would lead to the activation of Weapon Equipment Skills. The annoying tutorial popup bug that prevented players from accessing certain options in the menu has also been fixed.

Biggest changes

The biggest changes from the Monster Wilds March 4 update are to theInsect Glaive’s Offset attack and Lance’s Powerguard. Previously, there was a bug that caused Hunters to freeze and become unresponsive after they’d used the Glaive’s Descending Slash under certain conditions.

As you can imagine, this led to some incredibly frustrating deaths. Fortunately, this issue has now been resolved, and Glaive users needn’t worry about randomly getting nerfed mid-fight.Lance’s Power Guard effect has also been fixedand will now activate instead of just glowing red.
