Countermeasures against Black Diablos

Recommended Weapon Element and Armor Skills

Recommended Weapon Element
Ice Weapon Black Diablos is weakest against ice.
Recommended Armor Skills
Health Boost Black Diablos has big damage combos that can instantly cart you, so maxing out your health will be helpful.
Stun Resistance With how fast Black Diablos is, getting stunned will usually cart you. Prevent this by getting Stun Resistance.
Tremor Resistance When you step on the path where Black Diablos is burrowing, you will get slowed, leaving you vulnerable to attacks. Tremor Resistance helps negate this.
Earplugs Black Diablos has a big roar, so levelling up the Earplugs skill to Lvl 5 will prove handy.
