Well, it would help to know your specific weapon setup so that we could give tips on the best stuff to be using there. Or maybe what attacks usually get you so we can say how to deal with them.

In general, however, she's weak to lightning and weakest on the wings. Aim for those. Tower's got a lot of ledges, so mount-spam is an option, and otherwise you can aim for the legs (though that does open you up to bouncing off the torso if you miss even slightly.) Do not go for the head unless you have some non-physical attacks, like a CB's super, or Fencing. Always remember to bring antidotes.

As for specific attacks that can screw you up, well, for most higher end rathians it's probably the aerial swerve into tailflip that gets a lot of people. It is a bit tricky to dodge, but the general ways of doing it is either locking onto her after she swerves and dodging to the side very quickly, or watching where she is relative to you and dodging perpendicular to that.

For the super fireballs, try to maneuver around her to get at her side. Be cautious to wait for her to spit the third fireball before you go in tho, as she can and will tailsweep instead.

Is there anything else you would like to know?
