@thunder wolf man: Why? I do it all the time. Brachy is the most resistant to explosion damage, so gunlance might not necessarily be the best option. Of course, I do it anyway regardless XD The important thing to know when using a gunlance is the fact your stamina will be frequently under pressure. Back in high rank, I loved the uragaan u for its stamina recovery up and I gemmed in guard boost (with a talisman with +5 in it). Deoderants are essential for the fight, otherwise you'll get blown up a lot more! One thing I should mention is that you should still block if necessary even when slimed. You'll still get blown up, but you'll only receive HALF of the damage you would've taken if you didn't. Some tips for the fight: if he's about to jump you from a distance (literally), run towards him. He'll overshoot you and you have an opportunity at his tail. flash bomb him when he's tired and try to break his arms whenever possible. A broken arm means less slime pools for you to worry about. Finally, he WILL trip when he is tired. A lot. Hence why flash bombs help a ton here. Hope this helps!
