MH Wilds 18 - The Mushroomancer is Born!

03/16/2025
Blue Mushroom, Toadstool, Nitroshroom, Parashroom, Mandragora, Devil's Blight, and Exciteshroom - all I dream about are shrooms! After that faint the other night, I swore I would not rest until I completed my 1st iteration of my Mushroomancer Build. And now here it is completed (equipment shown in screenshot above):

Key Must Haves:

1. Mushroomancer 3
2. Wide Range 5
3. Speed Eating 3
4. Free Meal 3

Nice to haves for Damage Per Second (DPS) and Utility:

A. Maximum Might 3

B. Paralysis Attack 3

C. Critical Status 3

Main Equipment (is my equipment optimal - probably not, but it works for now):

1. SnS - Lala Acanthopelm (Rarity 8 Lala Barina SnS)
2. Rompopolo Helm Alpha
3. Arkvulcan Mail Beta
4. G. Fulgur Vambraces Beta
5. Arkvulcan Coil Beta
6. Doshaguma Greaves Beta
7. Mushroom Charm III

#DragonTip:
Missing a Decoration, go to the Vio in Suja, Peaks of Accord, and see if you can meld any Decorations that you maybe missing. The majority of Decorations in these builds are lower tier Decorations.

Shout out to IGN and Fextralife for their insightful coverage on Mushroomancer builds. I referenced their guides while crafting my own approach. You can check out IGN’s article Mushroomancer and Fextralife’s breakdown Mushroomancer for more details. My table below is based on general insights from these sources, with my own refinements and testing. See my table below (scroll left to right if needed):

Shroom	Name	Effect	Effect When Eaten
	Blue Mushroom		Potion, but restores your health instantly.
	Toadstool		Immunizer, which increases your red health recovery and cures bleeding.
	Nitroshroom		Demondrug, which increases your attack power.
	Parashroom		Armorskin, which increases your defense.
	Mandragora		Max Potion, which fully restores your health and gives you +50 Health if you don't already have it.
	Devil's Blight		Dash Juice, which gives you +150 Stamina and reduces the stamina cost of all actions.
	Exciteshroom	?	Gives you a random effect of any other mushroom on the list.
