How to Beat Black Diablos

• Equip an Ice Element Weapon
• Same Strategy as the Diablos

Equip an Ice Element Weapon

Black Diablos is weak to the Ice element, so Legiana weapons will surely be helpful. Great Girros weapons are also a decent alternative as Black Diablos is also vulnerable to Paralysis. Equip a build that supports this weapon type to help you take down the Black Horn Wyvern!

Best Builds and Armor for Each Weapon

Same Strategy as the Diablos

Black Diablos is much more aggressive than the Diablos, but the technique is mostly the same. Be sure to dodge its moves as much as you can and attack when you have the opening.
