The Monster Hunter series is renowned for being pretty tough. Those giant beasties are meant to pose a challenge, and half the thrill of the titles is figuring out strategies, weapons, and armour that work for you to finally best these gigantic foes. Monster Hunter Rise brings news foes to the battlefield, alongside brand new weapons and armour for you to experiment with. You’ll need the very best!

It’s important to look good while battling as well, so luckily Capcom has included Layered Armour. These are special outfits you can wear over your armour, so you can wear a fancy matching outfit while keeping the stats of all your favourite armour underneath. While this can be found in the game, another way to unlock outfits are with the Monster Hunter Rise amiibo.

These fancy little figures don’t just look good on your shelf, they also unlock special things within Monster Hunter Rise. While some unlock extra items, others unlock very special bonuses, and we’re about to break down exactly what these are. So grab your plastic pals, get comfy, and ready yourself for the hunt ahead.

The latest Monster Hunter Rise amiibo come with the Sunbreak DLC. Like with the base game there are three types: the Malzeno amiibo, “Canyne Malzeno” Palamute amiibo, and “Felyne Malzeno” Palico amiibo. Be sure to register your interest if you want to get them.

Monster Hunter Rise amiibo rewards

The Monster Hunter Rise palico amiibo unlocks special layered armour based on Magnamalo in Monster Hunter Rise that can be worn by your palico companions.

The Monster Hunter Rise palamute amiibo unlocks special layered armour based on Magnamalo in Monster Hunter Rise that can be worn by your palamute companions.

The Monster Hunter Rise Magnamalo amiibo unlocks special layered armour based on Magnamalo in Monster Hunter Rise that can be worn by your hunter.

Once you’ve scanned the Monster Hunter Rise series of amiibo once, they can then be used once a day in the lottery at the market. You can scan three amiibo each day, and every single amiibo is supported, offering different jackpot prizes. The rarity of the prize depends on the result, and a jackpot will reward you handsomely.

That’s just about everything we can cover when it comes to Monster Hunter Rise amiibo, we hope it helps you on your next hunt!
