User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Uragaan (5th Gen)/@comment-26826688-20180624024052

MHW has finally made Uragaan a good monster. In fact he is one of the strongest non-elder monsters in the game besides Deviljho and Black Diablos. I haven't seen his tempered version, but I can tell that it's hard.

His rolls are actually a threat and not time wasters. He actually curves his rolls back around in a FULL circle to try and hit you, not roll, do a dumb spin and continue to hit nothing. They also gave him his own special area like area 6 in the MH3 volcanoe. His special nonstop roll is also better in this game. In MH3, you could completely ignore the move by sitting back in a corner close to the entrance since it was a scripted attack. In MHW, Uragaan actually tracks you down, so interupting it or leaving the area is your only option.

MHW Uragaan's rocks aren't dumb things he puts on the ground just because it looks cool, they are everywhere and will force you to pay attention. If you're going to give a monster a gimmick, actually make the gimmick threating. I know many people thing the extra rocks he places down are annoying, but I'd rather have his rocks change up the fight rather than do nothing. I know G-rank Crystal Uragaan has that move where he shoots super rocks while he rolls, but rocks that instantly cart you when the entire fight is pathetically easy is dumb.

MHW Uragaan is the fastest he has ever been, as he no longer has the slow walk and just walks as normally as any brute wyvern. This mean he can follow up on his attacks and, you know... cart you? It almost felt impossible to cart to Uragaan back then. He felt like a punching bag.

His armor is very useful in the game and gave me a reason to hunt him. Guard, Guard up, and partbreaker are awesome in this game.

In conlcusion, he is the best Uragaan, '''PERIOD. '''
