User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Barioth (5th Gen)/@comment-4899131-20200220144644

Barioth was one of my favourite monsters in Tri, yet the 3U version was a bit of a let down. The few tweaks it's had for 5th gen have brought it back to its fast & fluid best, and this version is probably my favourite of all. I was also glad to see that hammer & stamina thief are great tactics against it & that breaking the wings ASAP is even more important than ever.

The switchaxe is as great as I always remember, and the armour having power prolonger make it very useful for me, especially in my ice resistant SA sets.

Welcome back old friend, you've been sorely missed.
