User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Hellblade Glavenus/@comment-26421638-20170217125659

Hellblade Glavenus (Aka Ignis Glavenus) is without any doubts my favorite Deviant in MHGen, I don't care if is not the most original Deviant, I like it for what it is!

In terms of design is OK, it appears as a bigger Glavenus with red eyes, a more developed left horn and "aesthetically" permaraged. But the thing that I like most of its design are the tail and throat when turns into blast mode: always liked magmatic-looking stuff!

I like fighting this Deviant, well, is my favorite Deviant to fight. Unfortunately it doesn't have a huge amount of significant changes unlike Grimclaw or Thunderlord, but I like it anyways. Besides a new Attack with its tail (runs sideways and performs a jumping tail slam) the double 360 tail spin and all the stuff related with blast mode for tail and throat, it doesn't have other major changes. This Monster hurts a lot of course, especially when is in blast mode, but since doesn't change too much from standard Glavenus, I don't really find it that difficult, probably one of the Easiest Deviants for me. Well, everything was going fine until something of terrible is needed if you want to upgrade Hellblade Equipment...

Wassup man!

The Hellblade Powder... Ok... Probably one of the Most annoying items to farm... While isn't that difficult to make drop a shiny to Hellblade (a bit easier with throat rather than tail), the real issue are the extremely low chances to get the infamous Powder! So far I only got something like 14 Powders and I've killed roughly 60 HB Glavenus! But I'm not going to say anything else about the Powder...

The Equipment is wonderful! All the Weapons are excellent looking and they are not only the best blast weapons available in Gen (Except bow, in that case Teostra bow is better), but they are in general one of the best weapons available in this Game! I Really like Using Hellblade's LS, GS, DB, Lance and sooner or later IG too! The Armor looks fantastic both for males or females, the skills are good even if could be slightly better.

Overall: While some people doesn't like it and isn't exactly the most original Deviant, it is undoubtedly my favorite Deviant! Awesome design, excellent to fight much like the standard counterpart, and it offers one of the best gears available in MHGen! The only downside of this deviant are the infamous Powders... Oh yeah... "Hellblade" is an awesome Name! And let's see how will be G-rank Hellblade in MHXX...
