@Wolf Queen you are incorrect. It has always been possible to evade Deviljho's roar and tail spin without Evasion skills.

Luri Deviljho becomes an absolute joke when using Eva+1 or Eva+2. I would only recommend Eva+1 because you will be able to evade through every attack easily with only that skill. Eva+2 is excessive, but if you want extra insurance go right ahead. Guard works well, too. Guard+2 is probably the best option. It'll let you make the most out of your guarding ability and you'll be able to counter most every move.( i'm not really sure about whether there are moves with knockback when using Guard+2, or guard+1 for that matter, but until you know for sure you should probably stick with +2 just to be safe.)You wont need guard up; Jho doesnt have any unblockable attacks. maybe bring some mega dash juices for infinite guard until you recognize his patterns?

Armor: Get an armor with evade or guard and some damage boosting skills. you'll need them because jho is rather tanky. Max out the defence on the armour you will be using because Deviljho hits like a truck and if it's your first couple times fighting him he'll probably be hitting you fairly often. Elemental defences shouldnt really be a priority because The majority of his attacks hit without an element and because it really isn't too big of an issue to begin with. DON'T try to sacrifice good skills for better elemental defence, it's NOT worth it.

Watch out for the dragon breath though. If you have bad dragon defence it'll take a rather large chunk out of your health bar. You don't need to worry though. It's VERY easy to evade through( even without evasion.); just roll into the sweep. If you are guarding Just Guard. Simple as that. But you probably shouldnt be getting caught in that situation at all ( if you are maybe rethink your positioning). The attack has a long charge up. More often than not you'll be able to run under him for some extra hits. He also has a nasty body slam attack that can be rolled through easily WITHOUT evasion( and it can be countered easily with the lance, or guarded). It's fast so the first couple times it might catch you but you'll get used to it. A lot of new players have trouble rolling through Jhos pin attack. It can pin you( obviously :D) and it can hit you with a tremor which leaves you open to a bite. If you dont get it try to superman dive out of the way. If he does manage to pin you MASH BUTTONS LIKE CRAZY! Since P3rd  pins seem to be more difficult to escape from so you may die. Bring dung bombs!

When exhausted deviljho will be more inclined to little bites and pins. the bites cause defence down which can be quite crippling. if you get hit with a body slam after a defence down bite it might be the end so watch out.

Weapons: Deviljho is primarily weak to dragon and lightning elements. Poison and slime(Is this an ailment?) ailment are also effective. Good old raw damage will do the trick, too. Pierce shots work well. THemost damage is taken in rage mode on the belly. Aim there whenever you can. The head is the secondary weak point in rage and is tied to the belly as the primary when not enraged. I've seen great results with all weapons so i cant say that any are better than others. Go into the quest with whatever you are good with.

Good Luck!
