Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Switch Skill Swap Explained
The Sunbreak expansion for Monster Hunter Rise has added a ton of new content to the game. There are new skill switches and slots for each weapon, adding more variety and options when hunting. On top of that, players can now use Switch Skill Swap to switch between two skill loadouts on the fly.
First, head to any item box or tent and select “Edit Change Skills”. From there, you’ll see options for Red Scroll and Blue Scroll loadouts. These basically let you create two separate Switch skill loadouts, each with five slots. This is what you will trade when you use the Switch Skill Swap. If you want to save any of the builds you create, just select “Change Skill Loadouts”.
Now you’ll just need to hold ZL (R for Gunner Control Scheme) and press X + A simultaneously to switch between the two scrolls. This will activate a new switch skill set. Use it to vary your attacks while hunting. If you’re playing on PC, hold down middle click ( and press left and right click simultaneously. For the Gunner control scheme, hold down Shift and press M4 + M5 simultaneously.

How to Use Swap Evade in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak
Swap Evade allows you to dodge immediately after using Switch Skill Swap. Once you’ve moved on to a new scroll, simply dodge to activate it. It works the same as a normal dodge, but has an increased invulnerability range. Use it to give yourself some space after swapping between Switch skill loadouts. Dodge is B on Nintendo Switch and Space Bar on PC.
