Monster Hunter Now Diablos weakness

As the Monster Hunter Now event focuses on Diablos, you’ll want to utilize weapons that exploit its weakness and deal massive amounts of damage to it. After all, this will keep your hunts short and enable you to increase your chances of getting this all-important monster part breaks. 

Monster Hunter Now Diablos is weak to the following elements: 

  • Ice 
  • Dragon
  • Paralysis 

We recommend you build an Ice weapon type from the Legiana weapon tree or simply build a high raw damage weapon if you don’t have access to this monster. Doing so will enable you to easily obliterate any Diablos you come across, making even the highest-level hunts much more manageable.
