Recommended Weapon Element | |
---|---|
Thunder Weapon | Savage Deviljho is weakest against thunder... |
Dragon Weapon | ...and dragon! Pick whichever weapon's stronger. However, it should be noted that dragon weapons do more damage with the Dragonproof Mantle, so keep that in mind if you are going to bring that mantle along. |
Recommended Armor Skills | |
Dragon Resistance | You can mitigate some of the dragon damage from Savage Deviljho's breath attacks by building Dragon Resistance. |
Iron Skin | You don't have to worry about Savage Deviljho inflicting Defense Down if you have Iron Skin at Lvl 3. |
Earplugs | Savage Deviljho has a big roar, so getting Earplugs to Lvl 5 would be immensely helpful. |
Tremor Resistance | Savage Deviljho can cause tremors through some of his attacks, so having Tremor Resistance at Lvl 3 will negate this. |
Blight Resistance | Dragonblight is a sneaky blight as it only shows up as an icon. Safeguard yourself against it with Blight Resistance at Lvl 3. You can also avoid getting any other type of blight when you fight Savage Deviljho in volcanic/tundra/coral locations. |
One of Savage Deviljho's attacks releases a large cloud of smoke that can deal damage over-time if you stay inside. This can deal significant damage if not dealt with properly. Be sure to move away from this cloud immediately when it is present.
Savage Deviljho will sometimes cause a big explosion using his breath attack. Because of its wide range, you should try to predict his attack by checking for compressed smoke on his mouth, this can be your signal to sheathe your weapon and tell if Savage Deviljho is about to execute this attack.
Beware of Savage Deviljho's forward dragon breath attack as this can instantly cart you if you get hit directly. You can counter this by constantly moving left or right while attacking him.
Keep in mind that Savage Deviljho will always do a back step before executing this attack, you can use this as a signal to sheathe your weapon and immediately move away to the side as soon as he does the back step.
Remember that Savage Deviljho's dragon breath attacks can inflict defense down and Dragonblight. You can try to counter this by using an Adamant Seed to negate the defense down and a Nullberry to cure the Dragonblight.
Using Guard-Up skill can be useful against the normal variant of Deviljho. However, for the Savage Deviljho variant, you will not be able to get away using Guard Up without taking any damage. Especially since Savage Deviljho can also use smoke clouds that cannot be countered unless you move away.
If you want to use a weapon that utilizes guarding, you should add skills that can increase your survivability like a Health Boost or Divine Blessing.
Savage Deviljho can leap towards you and instantly do a bite attack to reduce your defense. This can be hard to dodge if you are not constantly moving left and right. If you manage to get hit by his bite attack, immediately use an Adamant Seed to make up for the lost defense from the bite.
Some of Savage Deviljho's attacks can cause tremor and it can be troublesome if it disables you. You can easily deal with this by building up your Tremor Resistance skill to level 3 to completely counter any tremors during the hunt.
