Before going on a hunt, you can eat Dango that’ll give you various skills and buffs that’ll make the hunt a bit easier in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. You can choose three Dango flavors when you eat, but some Dango favor different weapons. This page will show you some of the best combinations to take depending on your weapon. For the most part, these are universal, but some other weapons like the ranged weapons will have different Dango’s.
This is an ideal damage combination. You could add a Spud-Luck or Blastslash instead of Shifter.
Best Dango’s for Damage¶
This set of Dango’s will offer you the highest amount of damage increase. As it focuses on purely damage, you may only want to use this set if you’re comfortable with the fight.
| Icon | Dango | Activation Chance | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Mint-iature | 70% | Dango Booster: Temporarily increases attack and defense after consumption, once. Grants 9 attack and 15 defense for 10 minutes at the start of the quest. The Level 4 effect increases this to 15 attack and 30 defense while using Hopping Skewers. |
 |
Invigorating | 50% | Dango Fighter: Reduces stamina depletion when evading, blocking, or doing certain other actions. |
 |
Spud-luck | 90% | Dango Weakener: Large monsters encountered on quests have an increased chance of being weaker than normal. At level 4, it changes to “Far more likely”. |
 |
Easy-Breezy | 50% | Dango Shifter: Performing a Switch Skill Swap slightly recovers health. This skill is on here for when it’s paired with the armor skill Dereliction. Dereliction drains your health to increase your attack when using a Switch Skill Swap. This helps nullify the cons of Dereliction. At level 4, it reduces initial stamina consumption too. |
 |
Blastslash | 70% | Dango Polisher: Speeds up weapon sharpening. Dango Pyro: Upgrades Large Barrel Bombs to Mega Barrel Bombs. Quicker weapon sharpening means more time to fight which equals quicker hunts. Having more Mega Barrel Bombs to place when a monster is down or asleep equals more damage. |
This is an ideal defensive combination. You could add an Easy-Breezy instead of Hide-and-Seek.
Best Dango’s for Defense¶
This set of Dango’s will offer you the highest amount of defense. This is ideally used on tougher monsters like the Afflicted or monsters with attacks that you’re not familiar with.

 |
Hide-and-Seek | 60% | Super Recovery Dango: Gradually recovers health over time when discovered by a large monster. This is a great skill to have as it’ll slowly regenerate your health. What makes this great is you can leave it to heal chip damage which saves you wasting potions on them which can put yourself in a compromising position when you use said potions. |
|
Easy-Breezy | 50% | Dango Shifter: Performing a Switch Skill Swap slightly recovers health. Another nice way to heal chip damage. |

The Gunlance is put on its own as it can make use of some other Dango’ that a normal melee build won’t get much use of other than specific builds.
