Special damage skills move limitations

MHWilds introduces new skills who can deal bonus hits, increasing our dps. These skills are:

Convert Element: trigger an aura when hit by an elemental move that allows you to deal additional dragon hits
Flayer: status like skill dealing a fixed damage explosion when it procs
Whiteflame Torrent: Zoh Shia weapon skill, allows to deal additional 50 damage hits with a complex internal cooldown, has a synergy with Scorcher who allows it to get imbued with fire element increasing its power
Bad Blood: Nu Udra set skill, additional hits every 2s as long as Resentment is active
Scorcher: Rathalos & Guardian Rathalos set skill, additional fire hits with a complex internal cooldown, has a synergy with Whiteflame Torrent
Azure Bolt: Lagiacrus set skill, one additional thunder hit then grants a temporary affinity buff
Corrupted Mantle: not a skill but its additional hits works in a similar fashion (it has more attacks that won’t trigger its effect though)

Game design oblige though, some of our weapon moves can’t proc these skills. This is why this page is here listing all moves who fall under this category.

Also note that on multi-hits attacks (bow for instance), only one hit will proc the special skill damage.
