Best way to break Zoh Shia's wings

[Sono]

been focusing them past couple hunts but cant get the break. Those blackember masses are rarer than the gems for me as a result. I figured gun might be good but the guide says theyre more weak to blunt and slash. What do you guys think?

Insect glaive as secondary...

greatsword nets me full breaks + tail sever pretty consistently. SnS and DB are also great for it, since they can zip around and punish its long openings really well

any ranged weapon with pierce will do well, and IG will obviously have little trouble hitting them midair

Honestly I can't think of a weapon that might struggle to break them as long as you stick to them. they're on the ground so often in phase 3, all you have to do is wait for it to stop moving to get a full 3 second attack window every now and then

Easy story with Great Sword and Hunting Horn. What are you using normally?

Longsword, Greatsword, Lance, Insect glaive, and Savage Axe mode are pretty reliable to break the wings. They have a good enough reach and don't require too much effort.

Though the easiest method would be to have a Bowgun/H.Bowgun and Bow as a secondary.

You can probably also use the slinger ammo that it drops on the wings.

Oh and having lvl 3 partbreaker would help but that's obvious.

ya been using axe mode uppercut a bit to clip them, and them running wild swings when hes down, still couldnt quite get them, but yeah, ill run Part break 3 for sure, maybe use the glaive as secondary,

Once third phase comes, use boulder or mount or paralysis/sleep (don't use before third phase), then focus on the wings while it's down.

I'm using LS with innate partbreaker 1 from arkveld set, but probably not necessary.

The explosions from phials should normally do it - I would think of blast element helping there.

Dropping the rocks on the wings damn near breaks them every single time. I play horn and I havent failed to break at least one wing per hunt.
