khezu set is just for looks imo...

i d suggest ceanatur set tho....

the concept of armor in mh is, armor gives u abilities to help u fight.

defense is just there to make sure u re still alive after u make a mistake.

so people should learn how to play safe, and use the "never getting hit" mindset.

its not a race to kill the monster in the fastest time, its about surviving the battle, surgically/methodologically attacking the monster while avoid getting attacked (nagaruga is the only exception to this rule tho )

what kaze me n derlin did last time was use HR 6 armors (fully upgraded) up to HR8-9 before switching to G rank armors.

dont be too stingy on upgrading a low HR armor... if the skills are useful, you might end up using the armor for long.

btw congrats to iamwhoiam... one way i fight lsl using gs is i charge with my back facing the belly, release, roll, reposition, charge again. might miss a few times but its more damaging than using the infinitecombo, in addition to that your gs can last longer without sharpening. dont forget to stagger the head 2 times to break it's horn. dont forget to climb on the ramp to jump on his back for a few free carves (as well as plant antidragon bomb for more damage)

during the begining of the mission, u have roughly 1 minute to fool around

look around the map, the first map where u can attack it using a melee weapon should have an area where u can climb up to an "overhead bridge" get up there, wait for lsl/gsr to come close then jump down. u might miss n fall down tho.

for lsl he will stop at the bridge n do a head swipe. it does no damage so feel free to "pose around" during this time (it will push you to the edge of the bridge which can cause u to fall but u will end up holding the edge of it), after he s done doing "no damage" to u he will go back on all fours. this is when u need to time ur jump. once there immediately begin carving. u can get 3-4 carves. then start putting anti dragon bombs. u will automatically fall for minimal damage when the bombs explode.

gsr is abit different. u need to wait for him to turn around so he shows the skull to you.when the skull's jaw is open n ure close enough, jump in and start carving. n put anti dragon bomb once done. oh n yeah, the place ure carving is actually his *******. he will then proceed to shit directly at you for "some" damage.
