Explanation of Gene Properties

  1. Element: The elemental type associated with the gene (e.g., Fire, Ice, Thunder, etc.).
  2. Skill: The special ability or attack granted by the gene.
  3. Buff 1 & Buff 2: Additional bonuses provided by the gene when equipped.

Notes

  • Some genes have only one buff listed; these genes might provide additional hidden bonuses or their secondary buff might be unavailable in the current documentation. We’ll update as soon as we have the information.
  • The TBD (To Be Determined) entries indicate that the specific information is not yet available or needs to be confirmed.

That concludes the complete genes list in Monster Hunter Stories. Make sure to check out our other Monster Hunter Stories guide:
