User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Nargacuga (5th Gen)/@comment-25119729-20200222114953

Can't say to much about World Nargacuga. It looks absolutely stunning in the new graphics, the new sounds it gots actually fit the monster and are pleasant to listen to by themselves (I really like the new roar they gave it when it changes area) and its new attacks fit right into the old moveset. The best new thing it got is the fact its tail spikes now stay on the ground, bleeding you when you walk over them. It sucks that it lost its double wing slash, probably the most iconic move in its entire moveset, if not of the MH franchise as a whole. The thing about missing eye trails and somewhat slow jumping speed can't distract from all the good stuff on it.

Equipment is a bit split. the weapons have subpar raw damage, but a significant boost to sharpness, so much that they have the biggest amount of purple sharpness on all weapons. And in true Narga fashion, they have hidden poison status on them, for the few people who actually run free element. The armor keeps the role it has always had, beeing mainly about boosting your evasion ability (in Worlds case, evasion window). The biggest thing about its armor is however the set bonus. True razor sharpn is a pretty useful skill, one that could entice people to actually think about using the armor instead of other endgame ones. It's a pretty dang shame the game doesn't tell you how much better it is compared to normal razor sharp.

Overall a good monster.
