User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Akantor(4th Gen)/@comment-16331478-20150927114504

Akantor is a fun fight, even if it could just be boiled down to a fat Tigrex clone. His damage output while enraged is kind of insane though, couple that with the defense down he can give you by biting you, and you can bet there will be one-shots out of nowhere. His defense down in particular is extremely dangerous, because it actually halves your defense, which is just brutal. I like its armor and used it as my end-High Rank set of choice, which I then dragged all the way through G1 before switching to Monodevil. Its weapons are garbage though. The only ones that are actually usable would be the HH because of the attack deflection prevention song and the bow/bowgun since they are gunner weapons without sharpness to bring them down. You're better off spending your hard-earned conquest spheres in its armor set, trust me.
