First of all, I'd recommend you use the weapon your most comfortable with. In my personal experience, I fought my first Tigrex using ceanataur armor with eager cleaver and a LOT of flashbombs. Why do I use LS? Because I find it's damage output very powerful BUT you can't get greedy with combos, unless he is taunting or u trip or ledge him. If it's your first time or still getting used to it's movement pattern, avoid getting close while his raging, IT WILL HURT! Try laying 1 or 2 hits then fade slash: preferably  0, /\, /\+0 (circle, triangle, fade slash) in it's hind legs to make him fall. If you can, bring as many shock traps and it's materials as you can and tranq bombs (2 minimum) but always save 1 shock trap to cap him when he goes to sleep in area 3 of snowy mountains. The queue to cap him will be when he limps, but wait till he goes to area 3 and set the trap while he's asleep. Hope it helps, best of luck and godspeed!
