Blood Rite Skill in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Explained
The Blood Rite skill inMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreakis one of the best armor set skills players can find, especially for hunters that want to save on money/crafting materials. The skill has three levels based on the equipment players currently have, and in the case of Blood Rite, theMalzeno Chest piece and Waist piece both contain the skill’s effects.
The official in-game description of the skill reads: “A proportion of damage dealt is converted to health when striking a broken monster part.” Simply put, players will first need to break a monster’s parts, and the more damage that is dealt to that damaged part, the more health the player regains.

This certainly comes in handy when facing a toughMaster Rank monster such as Lunagaron or Malzeno, as players won’t need to constantly stop attacking to pop potions to survive.
Hunters should keep in mind that in order for a monster’s parts to be destroyed, using a blunt weapon like a Hammer, Great Sword, orHunting Hornwill make it much easier. Also, according to Arekkz, a YouTuber that focuses onMonster Huntercontent, it seems that players will regain more health with weapons that have a higher motion value.
This essentially means that if players are using a weapon that doesn’t have a lot of “motion” in its combos, like the Sword and Shield or the Dual Blades, they might not regain as much health as when using weapons like the Switch Axe, Charge Blade, and Hammer.
Players wanting to take full advantage of the Blood Rite skill should ensure to have at least a few levels of the Partbreaker skill, which makes it easier to break a monster’s parts. Trycrafting and equipping the Destroyer decoration.
Also, the Malzeno set will give players level 2 Partbreaker, but upping that to level 3 should be a priority.
