Pick the skills you want. If nothing fits, we'll tell you exactly which charm to hunt for. MHWilds Skill Simulator is a gear search app (skill simulator) for Monster Hunter Wilds. ◆ Find the best set just by picking skills Choose the skills and levels you want to activate, and the app instantly searches for the optimal combination of armor, decorations, and charm. Specify weapon slots or freely configure custom Artian weapons. In the results, compare defense and open decoration slots side by side, and tap once to see which additional skills you could still squeeze in. ◆ Charm reverse lookup: zero results is not the end When no matching set exists, an ordinary skill simulator hits a dead end. This app calculates exactly what you're missing and shows you which obtainable charms would complete the build — "with this charm, it works." Charms that can't actually exist are filtered out from the start. You'll always know which charm to hunt next, and that changes how the grind feels. ◆ Register charms with your camera Just point your phone's camera at the charm list on your game screen — TV or monitor — and the app reads your charms and registers them for you. Prefer manual entry? Suggestions are narrowed to combinations that can actually roll, so input is fast and mistake-proof. ◆ My Sets and Wishlist Save the sets you like to My Sets. Charms you decide to hunt for go on your Wishlist — and once you obtain and register one, it's checked off automatically. ◆ Fully offline All data ships inside the app. No connection required, so it's ready the moment you are — in the lobby, on the train, or in bed. ◆ Pricing Every feature is free to use (with ads). A one-time Pro upgrade removes all ads and lifts the limit on saved My Sets.
