User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Daimyo Hermitaur(4th Gen)/@comment-24965733-20151017012117

Daimyo is formally meh. In high rank it's a barely noticeable roadblock, whereas in G-rank it and especially its sub (who has a guild quest because ?idontknow?) the stupid thing is just obnoxious, what with the constant little-damage but haha you're on your rear now clawswipes. I suppose it's got a decent early-game lance set, and its weapons are useable, if not good, but the former is only really relevant in low rank and the latter just feels like the mh equivalent of pokemon "dex-fodder".

I wouldn't mind seeing it back, but it really shouldn't be a high rank-on monster. Have it in lowrank, where it can actually provide a noice early game guard set. Past that no one cares.
