The Rockbreaker will move underground making it difficult to deal damage and predict the Rockbreaker's attacks. When an opening presents itself, aim for the Rockbreaker's Digging Arms. Once destroyed the Rockbreaker will no longer be able to burrow underground.
Rockbreakers are sensitive to sound and vibrations in the ground, so stay silent and the Rockbreaker will have a harder time targeting you.
