Good day everyone. I'm in need of some serious advice with how to take down Rajang and Black Gravios at HR9 on MHFU - solo (no offense to my felyne comrade). I haven't had much luck with those two, either I run out of time (Black Grav) or I just get my butt whooped (Rajang). Here's what I'm currently working with: Blademaster Armors: Narga X, Obituary, Dark Akantor, Guardian Spirit Shin Long Swords: Wailing Cleaver, Aqua Guardian, Smolder Dragonsword, C.Blango Decimator Hammers: Regulation Gunhammer, Big Blue Chopper Dual Swords: Corpse Blades, Glacial Medusa, Freezing Daggers Sword n' Shield: Ice Fang, High Sandman Spike

Just to specify, I haven't unlocked G-Rank Lao or Ukanlos yet. I'm very much at a dead end with HR9 right now. Up until this rank, I had no problem slashing or bashing the heck out of every monster I faced - I'm very much a melee lover. I've tried forging the weapons with the most potential in order to progress through the game, but I'm honestly clueless on what to do next other than practice more. I've checked around various message boards and it seems that gunning is a popular solution to dealing with those two at this rank. Clearly, I haven't invested anything for Gunner equipment, but if they're really a viable option for soloing these G-Rank monstrosities then I'll be glad to take any advice on what armor, skills and guns to shoot for (pun intended).
