Im a horn main and need help

[Queen Elincia]

I don't know what skills are good for horn.
I know skills such as horn maestro, Wex, Wirebug Whisperer, attack boost are good but
i don't know if other crit skill that are not wex are worth since I have heard shock waves are not affected by affinity. Also earth shaker or the egg?

Crit boost is always good to add. Slugger is also really nice since hh does KO and with shockwave and egg its going to start to rack up real fast.
Running element builds will benefit shockwave.
Shaker may be better for multiplayer as monsters tend to run everywhere, so your line will break for egg. Same reasoning with LS and harvest moon.
Im not a hh main I just see speedruns, so I hope this helps.

Crit boost, Weakness Exploit, Slugger, Horn Maestro, Attk +4 and you gucci for the most part. Add element if use element, wirebug whisperer, sharp and maybe evade extender if you can spare. Other than that it's just exploiting Iframes when you play horn. Takes a little getting used to for the timing (when you're on your back spinning) then just perform your way to victory.

Did you originally write P*rn Hub ??? <.<
Also, there is another way to play Horn

Especially nice with Lunagaron Horn for the extra damage.

Hunting Horn greatly benefits from elemental damage and your shockwaves cannot crit.

Skills like Weakness Exploit (most efficient skill in the game despite crit not being the primary focus on Horn), Elemental Attack 5, Attack Boost 7, Chain Crit 3 and Element Exploit 1 are going to be your baseline, Crit Boost is pretty low on the list of priorities because it doesn't affect many of your bread and butter combos' main damage sources like the elemental shockwaves.

Dereliction with levels in Resentment can add up to 50 raw which is massive and in some matchups being in red scroll for the elemental boost roughly ties with blue scroll's attack buff, just a very strong skill for Horn and every other weapon in general.
Slugger is not worth your slots, as is the case for Critical Eye mostly since it's too expensive for the low roi you get from it.

You're going to get a lot of answers, because you can play hunting horn almost any style you want. I'd advise to just build it how you'd build anything else.
If you want a healer horn, you want stuff like friendship, speed eating and free meal.
If you want a pure damage build you can look further into full elemental or non elemental builds. A lot of it depends on how much QoL you want vs straight damage. I carry group hunts with hunting helpers and stuff like slugger/stamina thief on my egg, but some (like the person above) will say slugger isn't worth your points, which is fair too.

I run a straight raw build with a lot of QoL.
Attack 7, Resent 5, crit boost 3, wex 3, slugger 3, stamina thief 3, partbreaker 3, wirebug whisperer 3, burst 3,
2 Bladescale hone
1 evade extender, 1 dereliction, 1 quick breath, 1 spiribirds.

TLDR; bladescale hone, quick breath and wirebug whisperer are all underrated.

Chain crit/burst only get 1 point unless other armor gives it, it is not worth it. EA, AB def worth maxing if there is, skill good to try if you want is Foray/status trigger/Adrenalin rush. Embolden with agitator (specifically onmyo ateobi) Wex and cb

there is always dereliction and resentment if you want but if you are not comfortable look for other skills
