MHW Iceborne Best Hunting Horn Builds [Top 7]

At this point, with no one even using the hunting horn really, I think any build will do the job. Just depends on what kind of job you are looking to do. The buffing, supporting and pixie dust shooting melody blunt weapon of a horn surprisingly does have very good raw DPS and Elemental damage builds. It’s a seemingly versatile, useful and underrated weapon if you can just forget about the fact that you are swinging a gigantic horn around your head that chimes out cute little notes with each attack. Yeah good luck. Here are some good stable builds that should keep you in the right direction on your Hunting Horn Journey.
