For a monster you're just supposed to repel, it sure has way too much health and a 15 minute timer. Ive been trying to solo this stupid quest with a longsword and every time the quest ends with a time out. I thought it would be easy, the introduction to this new dragon takes 15 minutes and you just have to repel it. It cant POSSIBLY have a massive health pool given the fact you dont need to kill it. Right? Nope, this is incredibly frustrating, should I just use hammer and spam drop attacks?

My hard counter to her is a dragon insect glaive. Grab her head and wing buffs and just spam B/circle air attacks around her wings, which are weak points. True Gae Bolg with 100% affinity is usually a ~6-7 minute kill this way, ~9-10 on tempered. Basically the only dangerous time is when you're on the ground, and her tail swipe spam is easily the biggest annoyance. Rocksteady and Temporal mantles can negate the knockback and a health augment will regen you quickly. As long as you can keep up attacks it'll even out-heal fire blight if you pick it up. Cooling drinks and immunizer will also help take the pressure off, and dash juice can assure you minimal ground time if you're still struggling.

I use earplugs 5 as well, since she likes to roar a lot. Wind resist can negate the rest of her BS, but I don't use it. Your palico will sometimes give it to you through orchestra which is nice.

In an actual fight just be cautious of her supernova if you don't use a dragon weapon, because if you get caught in the middle of it it's pretty much a guaranteed cart unless you luck out with superman spam.

You only have to deal a certain percentage, also longsword is one of the best weapons against the Blast Duo. Abuse Foresight slash against her every attack and roar, helmbreaker as shes getting up to stunlock her. Impact mantle and evasion should help a lot when using a longsword.

The intro quest Luna is more inline with a Tempered monster.

So yeah it has high health and actually hits fairly hard. But even then it shouldnt be that hard to repel in 15 mins.

[Grottowalker]

fully agree with first post. IG makes luna such a cakewalk

Don't do aerial IG kids, it turns your brain into mush.

Work smarter, not harder.

Myes, just cry in GS as you lose your sharpness as her true weak points are her tail and wings.

The head weak point is a fcking lie, yes it does have the yellow signs but W.E won't proc, don't try to hit it unless you have no other option but then again hitting tails is stupidly hard as Luna shags it everywhere and don't even talk about the wings.

If you want to stick to LS you should try and aim your helmsplitter at her wings if you're not already doing that.
The boulder trap and Dragonator are also big damage.

You'll want to hit her hindlegs with every melee weapon that's not blunt until she trips and you can then attack the wings on the floor, rinse and repeat.

Ive been abusing Foresight slash and I make sure to get both boulders and the dragonator off. And I know I just need to deal a certain percentage, the mission says to repel it, not kill. Also ive been aiming for the tail. But thanks for the advice

Use bow, shoot, and stay away from her while you shoot.

Quest completed.
