Are you planning to go out and hunt a Black Diablos? In this little guide I share with you information that may be useful to you. In fact a devil is a difficult opponent but a Black Diablos has more strength and resistance. Let's get our best equipment, select your best weapon, it's time to go hunting.
According to this monster's information, she is a normal female Diablos, but she is in jealousy and her skin turns dark as a sign that she is aggressive and ready for anything. As it is usual in this species, it lives in desert places so you will not have to worry if you go out in exploration to wooded places. Due to its aggressive state, the Black Diablos has increased speed, attack and some different movements.
If you come across one of them, their goal is to finish you off at all costs. Depending on your defence and attack, dealing with them can be a difficult task and that's why I want to give you some recommendations. The first thing is to know its weaknesses and if you have never fought against one, your hunter's guide will not be very useful and maybe you will choose to play the mission with some friends or be like me and look for adrenaline when facing it alone.
According to the hunter's guide, a black devil is super weak to the ice element, followed by the water element. Thunder has some effect on it, but fire and the dragon element don't even tickle it. In altered states, paralysis is a good ally and balst, poison and sleep will affect this monster quite a bit. The stun will happen less often. See the following image for a better comprehension
As I had mentioned, this monster has increased speed, so the weapon you carry may or may not have an advantage. If you use a heavy crossbow, evading can be a problem as well as if you use a heavy sword. Depending on the weapon you use, keep in mind that it will move fast and you will have to use attack and retreat strategy. Also, when it attacks, it runs a good distance and you'll have to follow it a little bit to hit it, even if it's only one strike.
I recommend carrying long sword, bow, light crossbow, double swords and those with speed to attack and dodge. I love to cause blast to the monsters and I choose to go with this element, but if you have a weapon with an ice element, it will be very useful because you will keep the devil's resistance at bay and you can attack him more easily.
Among the breakable parts we have the head, the wings and the torso. Yes, you can say goodbye to those horns. You can also cut off the tail and this will go a long way to reducing the range of certain attacks. I recommend that you focus on this area first and then break it off completely. Remember that the more you break a monster, the better the rewards you get.
Things are told better when you see them, that's why I recorded a gameplay for you to see how this Black Diablos attacks. I've gone into battle with 561 defenses and a long sword that causes the blast state but you better see for yourself how I was equipped. I should point out that since I'm already playing the Iceborne expansion, my defense and attack are at a good level, but before I start playing the expansion, going into battle with 420 defense will help me resist at least 2-3 attacks before I fall down.
Now, enjoy the gameplay
