Quick Combat Tips:

• Staying close to or underneath Velkhana's stomach allows you to avoid many of its deadly attacks such as its breath attack, targeted tail attack, linear icicle attacks etc.
• Velkhana's ice walls can be destroyed. Be careful, however, as though your attacks will get blocked by the walls, Velkhana's attacks will not get blocked.
• Use Flash Bombs while Velkhana is flying to ground it.

MH Rise Velkhana Attacks & Moveset

• Tackle - Velkhana does a quick tackle to hunters in front of it. Deals a small amount of damage and staggers the hunter.
• Tail Pierce - Velkhana has two variations of this move. One variation has Velkhana briefly fly up and thrust its tail under itself to hit the hunter directly in front of it. The other variation has Velkhana angle itself sideways to hit the hunter next to it. This sideways variation can be avoided by dodging towards Velkhana. These Tail Pierces can be done up to 3 times in quick succession.
• Tail Swipe - Velkhana has two variations of this move. One variation is as a follow up to the sideways Tail Pierce, where it swipes only it's tail in a small arc. In the other variation, Velkhana swipes it's whole backside, hitting hunters in a larger arc.
• Ice Beam - Velkhana shoots a long beam of frost from it's mouth. It has four variations of this move - one where Velkhana fires directly in front of it for a long period of time, one where Velkhana fires quickly twice, tracking a hunter, one where Velkhana sweeps the beam from left to right or vice versa, and one where Velkhana flies up and fires diagonally in front of it. If there are patches of frost on the ground when these ice beams are fired, ice walls will spawn in their place. For variations where Velkhana stays on the ground, these are great windows to get some good damage in if you are not targeted by or in the line of fire of Velkhana's attack.
• Ice Eruption - Velkhana targets a hunter far away from it, summoning a large chunk of ice directly under them, then another next to them. Velkhana seldom uses this move if all hunters are in close proximity to it.
• Icicle Wave - Velkhana marks a straight line of frost in front of it, then breathes out clusters of ice that expand outwards like a wave.
• Icicle Ring - While flying, Velhana breathes out frost directly under it, summoning rings of ice that expand outwards and explode. It is safer to run/dodge out of the range of the explosion, but also possible to stand in between the rings to avoid any damage. Hunters may also dodge towards the middle of the attack after the inner rings have exploded.
• Summon Icicle - While flying, Velkhana spins in the air while breathing out frost. While the breath itself does no damage, this move causes icicles to pop out of the ground at random for a short period of time. This move is available when Velkhana is enraged.
• Blizzard Bomb - While flying, Velkhana breathes out a dome of frost with a large AoE in front of it. After a few seconds, it explodes dealing heavy ice damage. If you do not have time to run out of the AoE, sheathe your weapon and dive-evade just before/when the dome is about to explode. This move is available when Velkhana is enraged.
