User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Silver Rathalos (4th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20160212194712

(I know, I'm late to the party...)... Yeah... I don't like Silver Rathalos... But I don't hate it too much... Not the Best Rare Species out there, but better than Gold Rathian...

The Design is Really Well done, while the Gold looks Bad on the Female Counterpart, the Silver Coloration Looks Great on Silver Los... It really looks that have a Silver/Metallic Skin... However I miss the "Luminous Shine" that it had in MHP3rd...

The Battle is the Reason why I don't like this Monster. The Combos and the Tough Skin are the Reasons why facing this Monster is Frustrating, especially the G Rank one... However I must say that Sometimes is Less Annoying and Spam Less Combos than Azure Los, but other times is a real Nightmare... The Super Fireball Attack looks great and, itself, isn't that difficult to evade, unless if Silver Rathalos Shot the Fireball During the Claw Attack, you've rarely a chance to be safe from that combo... However, I consider it way better and Less Annoying than Gold Ian...

The Equipment is the Best side of this Monster... The Weapons are exceptional Fire Element Weapons, with Good Raw Damage and Fire Element, however some of them have less Sharpness of the Azure Los... I love the Design of the GS, the LS, the Hammer, the Lance, the GL, the CB and the SA... And the other ones are good too... The Armor is Good to in terms of Defense, and have some Interesting Skills... Could have better Skills, but are still OK... And the Silver Los Armor is ome Of the Few Armors that have some Dragon Element Resistance which can turn really Useful... The Only downside of the Armor is the Design of the G Rank one... I mean, why Capcom have decided to Reuse the Freedom Unite's one? That's Nonsense... The HR One (which looks like the 3U's one) Looks Way Better... IMO, it was better than the HR One used the Same model of MHP3rd, while the G Rank one the same model of MH3G...

Overall: I Don't like Silver Rathalos only because the G Rank one is a true nightmare to battle, especially solo... At least the Design is Good and the Equipment is Really Valuable... Not the Best Monster, yeah, but WAY better than Gold Rathian... Silver Rathalos should be rebalanced kn terms of difficulty... Maybe without Armor and Less Combos should Work... But I still Find Nonsense its presence in MHX... I hope that is Nerfed...
