User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Week: Brachydios/@comment-5270386-20130813090507

Here are my thoughts on Brachydios:

The positive points:


 * Brachydios' attribute, moveset and design are very creative and interesting.


 * His music is kickass.


 * His weapons are a great help to solo players like me.


 * Fighting him is usually fun.

The negative points:


 * I've heard a lot of people talk about how good this monster's hitbox is. I disagree. Brachydios' charge, hook punch and tail attack all have broken hitboxes.


 * His explosions, especially the jump attack ones, have a ridiculously long range.


 * Brachydios weapons are very overpowered in multiplayer.


 * Last but not least, he has the single buggiest and most devastating attack in the game. It's where he punches the ground, then immediately teleports back to neutral position and punches again, then repeats this two more times. He only seems to do this in rage mode, so if he targets you with it, there's no way you won't get hit. This attack even gets a buff in G-Rank: Brachy punches 5 times instead of 4, and does his jumping attack as a finisher (without licking his arms so there's no warning). When I was helping my noobish friend hunt his first Brachydios, I got killed by this attack. I had 600 defence.
