Monster Difficulty Tier List

[Cyrus]

from the get go, i need to state this- this is partly opinionated. I will try to be as objective as one can be- the difficulty is rated on a potential gear level / monsters level of danger

As such- i will assume that one does NOT have access to the defenders set. This includes iceborne and base game. Going from least dangerous to the most

Do you guys and girls agree? what would ya change

[Rathex 🐆]

I Found stygian zinogre one of easiest fights in game.... same with seething bazelgeuse this is definetly more opinion based

[Fraktal]

MR Teostra is nowhere near third most difficult.

[Zelph]

Savage jho below zinogre and below seething? Nah. Jho is much harder then either of those.

Also, you really have to separate them or reevaluate everything, behemoth is much harder then most of the list, relatively.

[Juliane_L]

it depends of your weapon.
i am a DB main.
luna? a joke.
bazel? lol.
kirin and teo? oh no no no no no.

[ChubbNutt]

Nightshade Paolomu is above Savage Jho?
This list is all kinds of wrong.

[𝑅𝒾𝒾𝓃𝒶]

Kushala is not hard, just super annoying as it refuses to fight.

[mewlynx]

It's interesting you only included AT Nami and not any of the HR AT monsters. AT Nerg would probably be near the top if that was the case.

[Cyrus]

It would be to much work to add all the At monsters. I would have taken my all day to write the list.

It is going to depend really on what your skills are. I found myself acidic glavenus to be super easy- beat it without a single death, when most people struggle with it

While Coral pukei-pueki kicked my rear end. So it is kind of subjective

so true
it so rare to see players,who is a jack of all trades for all weapon
*cries alone*

[Kaldor Draigo]

There are not really hard fights per se when you can just switch to an ideal weapon for that monster but, fu*k MR Kushala.

It forces me to use sh*t weapons like Sticky LBG in order to farm him because he's the most unfun fight in the game. Which ends up being even more unfun because the only part that is fairly entertaining about sticky spam is getting Kushala in the floor endlessly.

At least HR Kushala was fun with LS, CB, Hammer and GS, and with other weapons too.
MR Kushala is just sh*t.

[Cyrus]

I can say with 100% that i dont think its possible to 100% all the weapon types. Thats to many combos for my brain

[JPM岩]

MR Kush's wind can be stopped by shooting pods at his chest. Once I learned that he was piss easy.

[Anima]

I read kirin like its an open book, rajang on the other hand (especially furious) well thats another story....

[RustyRed]

If this list wasn't randomly generated, I can't see how this list was made other than OP relying heavily on SOS. Behemoth and Ancient Lenshen rated lower than Coral Pukei? Wtf?

[Cyrus]

Nope I try to not use SoS at all. I beating every boss that is solo able by myself. Only use the SoS if I am farming mats
