So I finished the story and started Iceborn.

[AKOOMA]

First monster, I cant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beat. Im using the defender armour I got with my super duper special edition and its trash, Every hit from it takes a quarter of my health.

This is only the first monster in the entire DLC and Im struggling, Should I go back and get better armour before going ahead with the DLC?

[Seamus]

Go pick up a bunch of bones and make the master rank bone armor.

[Nonexistinghero]

But how can you not beat Beotodus?

[dyne2alex]

if you just want some good defensive values, get a master rank set b4 fighting beo. Bone, alloy, or hornetaur if you have entomology.

[J.M.]

Defender armor is no longer useful after HR elder dragons. HR end game meta gear should be able to get you through M2, or, just craft some early MR gear. MR gear has way higher defense.

[FleerZ]

^^^ that, or jagras armor from killing him in expedition if you can go expedition already.

[Mare/\thyu]

If you want tips, to fight it, the ice covering its body is breakable, and breaking all of its ice causes it to stop "swimming" and makes it stand, where is legs are a weak point. Try focusing attacks on where its is covering its body.

When in doubt, just SOS. Then craft Beo's armor to get through early MR easier.

Seems fine.

No, beat him and get greater jagras armor.

Oh and it'll only get worse, LR is special olympics, everyone is a winner, but still rearded at the end, HR sometimes takes away training wheels especially with defender gear. MR will rip you a new one if you have unupgraded armor, then just get ASAP a MR armor and keep upgrading it.

You'll have to learn to dodge if you want to beat anything post story.

So, sorry to break this to you, but we ALL got the Defender armor. There's nothing special about it and frankly it doesn't encourage great habits. It's whole purpose was to be defensive and get you through the base game story - it doesn't do much for damage or learning. It is much better in this game to learn how a monster attacks and moves and learn to dodge or iframe through a monster's attacks than just tank the hits. Monsters taking a quarter of your health in MR is pretty typical to begin with - the armor values for MR armor, even the very early stuff, is substantially higher than HR or even AT stuff. Monster damage is also higher, as well as HP and defense.

Be sure you're fiddling with and making use of the clutch claw mechanic to abuse weaking and flinchshotting when you can if you're not already doing so, as they make big differences early on when you need as many openings as you can get. Also, considering trying a good poison or blast weapon as both fair decently well early on in Iceborne's story due to how the ticks function.
