Players both old and new may struggle to find what they should be doing first in the Sunbreak expansion of Monster Hunter Rise. MHR gives players lots of tools to make the grind to Hunter Rank Seven fairly easy, but once players hit Master Rank, it is almost a complete reset. A combination of light farming and playing around with the new mechanics are needed to make the beginning of Sunbreak a breeze. This is what to do first in MHR Sunbreak.

Players should start off their dive in Sunbreak by getting theirMaster Rankgear as fast as possible.
What Armor is good to start MHR Sunbreak with?
For players who struggle in combat, theChainmailXset of Armor starts off with theDefense BoostSkill maxed out. More confident players, or players who have enough Defense Boost Decorations to not worry in combat, can go for theKamura Legacy,Hunter X, orBone XArmor set instead. Kamura Legacy has good Defense Stats with a good balance of offensive and defensive Skills, while the Hunter and Bone X Armor sets have higher Defense Stats and mostly offensive Skills. Upgrading any combination of Armor that players choose is strongly recommended, as Monsters hit a lot harder in Master Rank.
