Divine Blessing is a crucial defense skill to have in Monster Hunter World, especially for beginners. When this skill is activated, it lowers the damage you receive by a certain percentage. The percentage depends on the level you are on and the number of equipment pieces you pair the Divine Blessing skill with. Therefore, the better your equipment, the more protection you get.

The different levels work in the following manner:

  • Level 1 decreases damage by 15%
  • Level 2 decreases damage by 30%
  • Level 3 decreases damage by 50%
  • Levels 4 and 5 decrease damage by 60%.

For levels four and five, you will require Divine Blessing Secret, a skill provided by the Gold Rathian Essence set bonus.
