Monster Hunter Outlanders Build Planner
Pick the monster you're hunting. You'll see which element to bring, which adventurers and visage set match it, and anything suitable you've saved in the gear tracker.
Quick answer
Match your element to the monster first, because it is the one thing you can check. Then use the Ink visage set for that element. For example, against Anjanath bring Water, such as Pepper, with Ink of Water.

What you already own
Nothing on your list matches yet. Tag your gear with an element in the gear tracker, and it shows up here.
This matches elements. It doesn't rate damage, because no damage formula has been published. Compare every monster on the weakness chart.
How this build planner chooses
It takes the element with the highest rating on our weakness chart, then lists adventurers of that element and the visage set that boosts it. If elements tie, you see both. If sources disagree or nothing is published, it says so and doesn't guess.
Fated Adventurers appear on every list, because GameWith lists them with any element, across eight weapon types.
What this build planner doesn't do
- It doesn't rank damage. No damage formula has been published, so we can't say how much an element mark is worth.
- It doesn't rate characters. It tells you who matches, not who's strongest. We don't publish our own tier list.
- It doesn't include every item. We won't load weapon and armor stats until we can check them, so you add your own gear in the gear tracker.
Building for elements with visages
Each element has its own Ink set with a 5% bonus at two pieces and a stronger effect at four. GameWith says the set you want depends on the adventurer. Read all 11 sets in our visage guide.
