      I wish they added the other 3 fated 4 besides just glavenus, and it would make sense to add them in, there are perfect habitats for each one. What makes glavenus so special?

            I’m finding a lot of toxic comments saying how “bad” most of these monsters are... I don’t think angry 12 year olds should be playing this. Let them just stick with crappy Fortnite you know? Its like a pacifier. Works for that loser Ninja.

                      Some good rules of thumb for soloing monsters. First, always remove palico, since the monster isn't targeting you primarily, It will lead to unpredictability and inconsistency. With that said, the player's main goal is always to look for any safe openings or positions to be at, may take a few tries but if you're doing it right, you'll know when you can attack and cannot. These openings always exist whether it seems like the monster ( Rajang ) has absolutely no openings. These area's can be very small and very short, but are consistent and can lead to consistent damage. For skills, your only real concern should be getting 100% affinity or as close as possible, the more consistent it is the better. From there, the way you implement these all come down to your weapon.
