Higher numbers indicate higher potential damage to the monster.
The Tigrex's charge is swift, vicious, and far-reaching. During the hunt, keep to its side to stay outside its range; let it keep charging and eventually it will tire and slow down, opening itself up to your counterattack.

Tigrex Tips | ||
---|---|---|
Anticipate Tigrex's Roars
Break Tigrex's Forelegs
Sever Tigrex's Tail
Stay Behind Tigrex's Wings
Use Environmental Traps
|
We recommend anticipating Tigrex's roars and parrying or dodging through them. Doing this leaves Tigrex vulnerable for the rest of its roar animation, giving you a window of opportunity to deal easy damage.
To mitigate Tigrex's high mobility, prioritize breaking its forelegs. Doing this will reduce the speed of its Tigrex Rush and adds a chance for it to trip whenever it performs the attack.
Breaking Tigrex's forelegs will also knock it over, giving you ample time to deal heavy damage.
As with most Flying Wyverns, cutting Tigrex's tail reduces the effective range of its tail attacks, making the hunt easier overall.
Staying behind Tigrex's wings and forelegs will allow you to easily avoid most of its attacks, allowing you to spend more time dealing damage instead of dodging.
Hunters can use walls and pillars in the environment to their advantage by baiting Tigrex into charging at them, causing the monster to get stuck. Using environmental traps such as these can create large openings that hunters can use to deal massive damage to Tigrex.
When destroyed, the pillars in the Sandy Plains uncover quicksand pits. These quicksand pits act like Pitfall Traps, making them great environmental traps to take advantage of when Tigrex performs its charging attacks.
In addition to its attacks in Low and High Rank quests, Tigrex uses the following attacks in Master Rank.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Leaping Foreleg Slam | Tigrex leaps towards the hunter, slamming its foreleg on top of them and repositioning behind them upon landing. |
Tigrex Rush Feint | Tigrex motions to begin its Tigrex Rush but suddenly stops in its tracks to perform a Leaping Foreleg Slam instead. |
Charging Tail Spin Combo | Tigrex rears back before lunging forward, following up this attack with a delayed Tail Spin. |
Leaping Foreleg Slam Attack Information |
---|
Leaping Foreleg Slam: Tigrex slightly retreats before making a massive leap towards the hunter and slamming its foreleg on top of them. Upon landing, Tigrex repositions itself behind the hunter. This attack is heavily telegraphed, so react to Tigrex's retreating motion and evade out of the attack's path to avoid getting hit. However, note that Tigrex can follow this attack up with a Tail Spin or Tigrex Rush, so prepare to evade again after this move occurs. |
Tigrex Rush Feint Attack Information |
---|
Tigrex Rush Feint: Tigrex motions to begin its Tigrex Rush but suddenly stops in its tracks to perform a Leaping Foreleg Slam instead. This attack comes out quickly and can easily catch careless hunters off guard, so play patiently and avoid overcommitting against Tigrex in Master Rank. |
Lunging Tail Spin Combo Attack Information |
---|
Lunging Tail Spin Combo: Tigrex rears back before lunging forward, following up this attack with a delayed Tail Spin. This attack shares its startup animation with Tigrex Rush, so stay alert and dodge out of the way when Tigrex performs this combo. |
Tigrex uses the following attacks in Low and High Rank quests.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Tigrex Rush | Tigrex continuously dashes towards its target two to three times before stopping. |
Leap Attack | Leaps high into the air before slamming down towards its target. |
Tail Attacks | Tigrex uses its long tail to deal damage and knock hunters down. |
Bite Attacks | Tigrex uses its massive maw to bite anyone directly in front of it. |
Boulder Hurl | Tigrex pushes the ground in front of it with one of its massive forelegs, flinging multiple boulders towards the hunter. |
Tigrex Roar | Tigrex holds its head high, letting out a mighty roar. This attack can deal damage to nearby hunters. |
Tigrex Rush Attack Information |
---|
Tigrex Rush: Tigrex tenses up before springing forward, continuously charging towards its target two to three times before stopping. If the first charge connects, Tigrex may prematurely end its attack. In addition, Tigrex can also follow up its final charge with a Tail Spin or Double Chomp. It is best to sheathe your weapon when attempting to dodge this attack, as Tigrex can easily switch directions while charging, particularly when it increases in speed during its enraged state. |
Leap Attack Information |
---|
Leap Attack: Tigrex leaps high into the air before slamming down towards its target. This attack usually occurs whenever there is a considerable amount of distance between Tigrex and its targets. |
Tigrex can use its long tail to deal damage and knock unsuspecting hunters down.
Tail Attack Variations |
---|
Tail Spin: Tigrex spins in place, sweeping its tail around and launching anyone caught in the attack. It is important to note that Tigrex's head and arms also deal damage during the spin. |
Tail Swipe: Tigrex can also swing its tail twice from side to side, dealing damage to anyone caught in its path. |
Tigrex uses its massive jaw to bite anyone directly in front of it. These attacks deal heavy damage and can knock you off your feet — Always be mindful of your positioning!
Bite Attack Variations |
---|
Single Chomp: Tigrex performs a simple and quick chomp with its massive jaw towards the target. |
Double Chomp: Tigrex performs two quick bites in a narrow cone in front of it, dealing damage to anyone in its way. |
Boulder Hurl Attack Information |
---|
Boulder Hurl: Tigrex pushes the ground in front of it with one of its massive forelegs, flinging three large boulders in a wide cone towards the hunter. Always be ready to dodge or block this attack! |
Tigrex Roar Attack Information |
---|
Tigrex Roar: Tigrex supports itself on its forelegs, letting out a mighty roar that damages any hunter too close. Pay attention to Tigrex's foreleg movements and prepare to evade, guard, or parry the incoming roar to avoid getting hit. In addition, note that Earplugs do not work on this attack. |
