It might be janky, but Leap of Faith has served me well for this fight. Dive right forward for the big attacks could put you in good positions for follow up, like that big spin and punch move he does in risen form
I've been learning Gunlance lately, and boy I found my favourite weapon to use against monsters I hate or have horrible HZV and design, being able to constantly attack Valstrax and Risen Shaggy without worrying about having to hit their head is so nice
Risen val got to be my favourite monster for special investigations. Also imo if you use evade extender 1 evasion 2-3 embolden 3. Can just I frame most his attacks and guard point his final combo hits, and w offensive guard for metsu.
I think you may like trying to bully him with Raw status (poison or blast) Swaxe and the evade silkbind+adrenaline rush/buildup boost and the status skill which makes you apply status 100% for 12 secs after every evade. Only evade extender 2 is needed. Also you can try countering the ambush which is always a fun gamble.
@@Julian-rt9qs Oh, agreed! Regular Valstrax was one of my favourite fights in GU, and CGV is scary, but far from unfair in Rise. It's just the risen form that's full of BS

Excellent fight, but I'll suggest that you should swap evade extender for rediraction for sns
Your name is scary close to my government name lmao
how about risen chameleos with charge blade sounds like it might be interesting
Pretty sure I've already done that one
Glad to see the pros hate RCGV as much as I do. It's some Frontiers-level power creep nonsense.
I like Valstrax's design overall. Really cool lookin monster with cool abilities.
But Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax definitely feels OP at times.

I definitely feel that! No matter how many times I fight this damned thing, there's always a chance I'm gonna get sent to heaven
Yeah there's a difference between BS and difficulty, and often time MH is not very good at this 😂
I inspire to be like you
