User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Drilltusk Tetsucabra/@comment-16331478-20161204143127

It's a "meh" deviant. The weapons are sub-par in everything and there is next to no reason to make them: no element, average raw, average sharpness, maybe some positive affinity and the slightly faster art charge rate. Overall pointless. The armor has a bunch of randomass skills that will never work well together, and the lack of slots makes them even more questionable. The only impression its fight ever made on me is that there's a lot of chip damage involved when it's moving with a rock in its mouth.

I like Tetsu as a monster in 4th gen, but the deviant doesn't feel as fun to fight and barely does anything to set itself apart. It's really a bigger G rank Tetsucabra from 4U with more chip damage, which I will always gladly do without. The only difference from the main species design-wise is the bigger tusk, take that away and it looks just like a normal ass Tetsu. I think I actually prefer Berserk, at least the exploding rocks and different coloration made it feel somewhat different, and the equipment was worth something for the point in the game where you fought it.
