Switch Skills are unlocked via Master Utsushi.

What are Switch Skills?¶

Switch Skills are a new feature introduced in Monster Hunter Rise which allow the player to switch out different skills and moves. There are three switch skill sets for each weapon, meaning three sets of two skills that you can swap between.

Unlocking the First Switch Skills Set¶

The first time you unlock switch skills, you’ll be given new skills for every weapon. To unlock these, you’ll need to reach 3☆ in Village Quests or 2☆ in Hub Quests. When you’ve reached either milestone, speak to Master Utsushi, found at the Gathering Hub.

Changing Switch Skills¶

You can swap your switch skills at any item box in the game. However, you might want to head over to the Training Area and use the item box there so you can try out your new skills!
