Monster Hunter Now Season 7 introduces hunters to the Riftborne Devilijho and exploration bases

Monster Hunter Now's Season 7 is fast approaching, bringing tough enemies and exploration bases. Up until this point, exploration bases have only been available in beta tests, so get ready for some big changes come Thursday, September 18th. 

Monsters, of course

When it comes to Season 7 updates, you knew there'd be new monsters. This includes Espinas, Garangolm, and Lunagaron, as well as Riftborne Devilijho. This new riftborne monster will allow players to customize Devilijho weapons. 

The Riftborne Devilijho will start appearing on September 22nd.

New skills and styles in Season 7

Monster Hunter Now's Season 7 update will also bring new skills and style customization. 

There will actually be six new skills to master in Season 7, which can be added to the armor of the three new monsters. Here they are: 

• Skill: Pursuit
  Effect: Increases the damage of an attack that breaks a body part for the first time during a hunt
• Skill: Ballistics
  Effect: Increases the Critical Range of your ammo/arrows
• Skill: Reckless
  Effect: Increases damage but makes you unable to perform perfect evades
• Skill: Guard Up
  Effect: Allows you to guard against attacks that usually cannot be blocked
• Skill: Vital Fire
  Effect: Increases weapon’s fire element value according to your remaining health
• Skill: Vital Ice
  Effect: Increases weapon’s ice element value according to your remaining health

When it comes to style, the parameters that increase with each level of style customization will be raised, meaning customizable weapons can reach the same max strenght of currently available equipment. Weapons that have reached the highest level of customization will also get a special effect, although we don't know exactly what that effect is. 

Exploration bases!

Exploration bases are landmarks that hunters grow together by working together. There will be some changes made to the official release based on feedback from the beta, but the full details are still under wraps. They'll be here at a "later date." Whenever that is. The update is coming soon so hopefully any day now!
