User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Cephadrome(4th Gen)/@comment-26034899-20151107214336

This may be because I haven't reached G-Rank yet (I've only played 4U for about a month, and i can't find any other hunters to help me increase my HR), but I personally don't think Cephadrome is that bad. Sure, the disjointed hipcheck (nowhere near as bad as Plesioth's, though) and the flying tackle can be annoying, but it has no particular strengths being a Jack Of All Stats, and it doesn't spend most of the fight under the sand like it used to.

On another note, HC Cephadrome is just great; I love its design and how it can actually command its underlings to attack you. If the regular one behaved more like its HC counterpart, I think I'd like it more than I do now.
