The biggest mistakes noob make when fighting Raging Brachy is not having Blast Resistance. The rest is just surviving the attacks.

[Isaacorion Ceres]

For my most recent fight against Raging Brachy, as an IG user:
Frostfang Barioth weapon
Gold Rath armor (Divine Blessing+ mainly)
and as mentioned, Blast Resistance is non-negotiable.

It's been too long since I fought the monkey, and I only did it once. Rajang just stresses me too much for me to enjoy that fight (either version)

[Dagný]

Ah, a frostcraft enjoyer. There is nothing wrong with your build apart from the lack of shaver to tenderize in 1 attack. Really good build.

I say go there and keep trying until you're comfortable with the fight.

[Grimshot]

Well, I don't consider Raging Brachy to be too bad with a gunlance with guard 5 and guard up (not sure if you need guard up). You could always give it a try and see if that playstyle clicks for you.

Outside of that I'd recommend luring him to the lava geyser when it gets ready to erupt as that can dish out some decent damage to him if he sticks around for the full duration. I'd also try to get 3 ranks of tool specialist since those mantles can be a life saver.

Also when he goes to the last area I go and restock, then come back in a ghillie mantle, set up traps while he is unaware of me (and have my bugcage wielding palico do the same), and then start of the fight by wallbanging him and dumping as much damage into him as possible before he can path to his designated punching spot to start the last phase of the fight.

All you ever need Brachy is blast resistance gem, it completely negates its gimmick.

On top of it put on max divine blessing, ignore what those tryhard hunters said, they probably secretly using them to but to ashamed of themselves to admit it. Too big of a loser with an even bigger ego.

And if you're concerned about getting stunned from taking too much hit, steadfast 3, it will keep you moving while learning not to get hit

I mean, you can just jump into any random SOS then check people's equipment. Most players don't use divine blessing.

You need Blast Resistance for Brachy but that alone is not enough for new players i think. So try Tool Specialist 5 with Rocksteady + Glider. You can add your preferred mantles but i used these combo since it has 0 sec cooldown interval. Armor set is easy to farm/acquire too.

Rocksteady mantle (90 sec uptime)
-crowd controls the monster by wall flinching
-dps without flinching like a chad (negates wind and roar too)
-dmg received reduction (like a mini Divine Blessing)
-180 sec cooldown w/ TS 5 (w/c is exactly the uptime of Glider Mantle, hence the 0 sec cooldown interval)

Rider mantle (180 sec uptime)
-crowd controls the monster by mount flinching (at least once per uptime)
-2 big fat jewels
-fly t-posing to assert dominance towards the monster
-60 sec cooldown w/ TS 5

hope it helps ^_^
goodluck happy hunting o7

Nope, anti blast is a must for Raging Brachy.

For the monke, anything works. it come down how to spend your gauge effectively without getting punish.

But why do you care what most people use. Beauty of MH games is that there's so many viable builds, you can always come up with your own. Very large portion of game's skills are defensive, focused on damage avoidance and mitigation in variety of ways. Why should everyone just build a glass cannon. That's basically ignoring a very large aspect of the game for no reason than just "these guys said it's not meta". You can create some proper ooga booga builds that just plow through the fight like a bulldozer using that. There's nothing wrong with that.

[Grimshot]

You are always free to do what you want but chance based defenses will always be weaker than defensive options that are consistent. You could spend those deco slots to get to evade window 5 for example and mitigate just as much damage over the fight with a little practice.

That said divine blessing lvl 5 isn't too shabby with its 60% damage reduction and 40% activation rate.

[Fraktal]

Light bowgun destroys him.

Dont even need blast resistance.

Use P2 or P3, tenderize tail. Shoot tail.

[BabyGandalf]

I find it really fun to fight furious rajang with a full support build hunting horn. its the tigrex set with a deviljho horn. Will make you feel invincible when you have XL defense and attack while having max speed eating and high chance to not consume your potion.

[Kackstift]

always like for any "new" monster.. get resistance against the main damage source and play defensive until you see all moves and can predict them.

[Anoyun?]

you can cheese him using sticky or pierce hbg.
