User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Ukanlos (4th Gen)/@comment-5569775-20160305115757

I like the design of Ukanlos and with the exception of a certain Special Permit one, the fight is rather okay. And in groups, I find it fun guessing who it'll go after next with it's swim attack.

The armor has good skills, but I hate the look as a whole, so I just use it in Uka Uka U, instead.

And on to the main topic, the weapons: The weapons are a mixed bag. The GS for example with Sharpness +1 hits as hard as the more popular Diablos GS with Sharpness +1 and a bit harder if fighting something weak to Ice, but the Diablos GS can maintain the damage longer without needing to sharpen. The Hammer also does nice damage, but can't do it for as long as other weapons before needing to sharpen.

The faster hitting weapons like HH, SnS, DB's, LS & Lance burn through what little White Sharpness is there and the damage drops too much to be worth it with Blue Sharpness and lower. The GL is also lack luster, though at least can do consistently nice damage due to shelling; however, compared to other Long Lv5 GL's, it's crap.

The Bow is alright, even if it only has Spread 3 for it's Lv3 Charge, doing slightly less overall damage than the Daora Bow when used against something weak to Ice. Against something that isn't weak to Ice, the Ukanlos Bow does more damage, but why use a Ice bow in those situations. Not sure how the LBG & HBG compare to others, though.
