Better Know a Monster: Lagiacrus...Big Bad Blue

By ZANZIBAR

Laggy is the biggest water water baddie and poster child of Monster Hunter Tri. He employs a large number of lightning and dash attacks that can be very problematic for first time hunters.  He is found in the deserted island and the flooded forest and first time hunters should bring a few things along to aid in they're hunts. 


Lightning resists are of prime importance but should that not be an option then stun resistance can help avoid the effects of lightning blight or bringing along a full pouch of stormsender seeds to cure yourself. 


Lagiacrus is weak to fire so having a strong fire weapon can bring him down faster.  Perhaps more valuable than equipment is the knowledge to avoid his attacks. When it comes to lightning attacks he can shoot balls of lightning, a small discharge, a large discharge which looks like fireworks are going off and lasts longer than the small version. He can dash or spin dash which is much faster or can even add electricity to that. 


On land his attacks lose some range but he can coil up and swing his tail around, this attack is best avoided by hugging his left side between his legs. For first time hunters one of the best places to attack him is around his tail area when he's underwater, staying next to the ground will make it difficult for him to hit you. Hopefully this will help you bag your big water dragon.
