How Does Divine Power Work In Monster Hunter Wilds

The in-game description for Divine Power states it has a predetermined chance of reducing damage, though a simpler way of thinking aboutthis skill is that it has a chance of triggering whenever you get hit. Divine Blessing has about a 20% chance of activating whenever you get hit, with a notification appearing along the right side of the screen if it does activate.

There will be a slight flash from your hunter, and theywon’t get knocked back as much, and the damage they receive from that attack will be loweredbased on the current skill level. There is no way to know when this is about to trigger or increase the likelihood of it happening, but even at only 20%, it will happen often enough to make it a noticeable skill to take advantage of.

The effects of the skill are instant, and it only applies to a single hit from a monster, so it won’t cover you against a rapid combo or two hitsfrom different monstersthat happen close together. While not clearly indicated on your HUD, there is a slight delay between this skill activating again right after it did, though it’s no more than a few seconds.
