User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Black Gravios (4th Gen)/@comment-5569775-20160114224651

"Gravios is the largest and heaviest Flying Wyvern." Like my comment on the MHX page in response to BFK, unless Akantor isn't considered a "Flying Wyvern" anymore, Gravios isn't the biggest or the heaviest....moving on.

I find fighting this thing solo(at least in G and that dual frenzied one in offline); however, I absolutely hate fighting it online. People just make poor choices when facing him that tend end in them carting and the quest failing. Whether it be running away from him doing his walk & shoot attack(need to get behind him instead), to not knowing to get out of the way of the gas after almost every beam attack(there is a tell, if people pay attention). The Gas is the main issue, but good luck finding a group that's willing to focus on breaking the back first. At least the design is awesome, even more so, when frenzied.

The weapons are alright, especially with a Sharpness +1 or Honed Blade set. My favorite being the DB's partially because I like dual element/status DB's and also because of how well the compliment the 2 versions of Gravios(the occasional poisoning of White & the constant fire attacks of Black, mixed with a bit of extra defense).

The armor however, is pretty lack luster, at least as a stand-alone.
