Quick Magnamalo Combat Tips

• Magnamalo abuses of taking a lot of space in combat. It's a monster that gets too close and too far from the player very quickly. Leaving almost no comfort zone for hunters even when Magnamalo is far away from them, specially when a hunter goes solo. Many attacks against the mosnter have to be performed between the monster's short gaps between attacks. Light Weapons with quicker response and better movement are recommended to be able to hit it.
• Magnamalo's weakspots are its head, armblades and tail. Focusing on these parts deals the most damage and breaking them will usually cause an extended knockdown with a more dramatic fall animation from the monster.
• When Magnamalo is enraged, the spikes on its back stand more upright and its tail fans out into a halberd shape. Its attacks also become faster and stronger,  often releasing Hellfire dust after certain moves. Hellfire dust travels a short distance before detonating. Imminently detonating Hellfire dust turns a purplish-red color.
• Aside from its enraged mode, Magnamalo can enter a Hellfire-charged state, spewing Hellfire from its mouth, shoulders, tail and forelegs. Hellfire-charged attacks are often accompanied by explosions but they can be extinguished by consistent damage. Magnamalo can also enter a Hyper-charged state where its Hellfire turns a deep purplish-red color indicating it is close to performing its signature Divebomb combo. Note that both Hellfire states are independent of its Enraged status.
• All of Magnamalo's Hellfire attacks inflict the Hellfireblight status effect which is a stronger version of Blastblight. It detonates when the hunter is knocked back or away by monster attacks, dealing heavy damage. It will also detonate when its timer expires. Be vigilant and always on the lookout for the Hellfireblight icon above your health bar.
• Hellfireblight can be removed by rolling 5 times but an easier and more effective method is to Wiredash. When Hellfireblight is removed via Wiredashing, the hunter will drop the effect on the ground at the start point of the dash and it can be triggered when struck by a monster, dealing damage to it. Using this trick, hunters can get one guaranteed knockdown on Magnamalo per hunt.
• When enraged and charged, Magnamalo will often dash offscreen, usually preparing for a devastating move. Consider using target camera to more easily keep track of the beast.

Magnamalo Attacks & Moveset

Claw Swipe - Magnamalo digs its claw into the ground and swipes in an arc in front of it, knocking away any hunters caught and dealing moderate damage. This attack move is accompanied by a couple explosions when its arms are charged with Hellfire.

Quick Bite - Magnamalo performs a very short-ranged bite attack that deals light damage and has a small hitbox. It can be easily sidestepped or dodged backwards.

Leaping Tackle - From a distance, Magnamalo leaps towards a target and slashes them with its claw. The attack can be dodged by rolling under the monster when it's airborne. When enraged, it can follow up this move with many other attacks including firing a set of Hellfire Rain orbs as it lands.

Roll Over - Magnamalo drops to the ground, aiming its back spikes at a hunter and rolling over sideways, attempting to crush and skewer them. Easily avoided by staying near its head.

Charge Tackle - Magnamalo raises its head slightly and then dashes forward, trampling anything in its path. Dodge it likes any standard charge attacks. Roll to the side. When enraged and charged with Hellfire, Magna moves around the battlefield much faster and will often charge towards a direction and leap back at hunters performing one of its many other attacks.

Magna Clutch - When it's mouth is charged with Hellfire, Magna drags its powerful jaws across the ground in front of it, attempting to grab a hunter. If successful, it tosses the hunter sky high and detonates a cloud of Hellfire dust as they fall. The detonation portion of this combo deals immense damage and can one-shot hunters with midrange armor but you can Wirefall out of the fall animation and evade the blast completely. Make sure to always have at least 1 Wirebug charge available as this move can come out of nowhere, you can perform it after the Magnamalo throws you up to avoid falling back into the Magnamalo's attacks. Magna will sometimes use an alternate version of this move where it sweeps with its jaws in a wide arc instead of the forward lunge.

Magna Stomp - Magnamalo raises one foreleg and punches down hard in front of it. If it's Hellfire is charged on it's forelges it will follow-up with a second stomp using the other foreleg. When outside of enraged mode, this move has a long telegraph. Dodge towards the side of its stationary arm to avoid damage, this attack is very slow paced and can be easily timed.

Magna Cleave - Magnamalo leaps acrobatically into the air and slams its tail vertically into the ground. This move has a narrow hitbox and can easily be sidestepped but Magna will tend to weave this attack into many combos.

Magna Lance - Magnamalo goes into a low stance briefly, pointing its tail blade towards a hunter and then performs a mad dash towards them, stabbing its tail at the end of the dash. This move has a narrow hitbox but is accompanied by Hellfire dustclouds that travel in the same direction when the monster is enraged so ensure you are out of range before relaxing.

Hellfire Dust Blast - Magnamalo raises its upper body up high, sending clouds of Hellfire dust in several directions around its body. It then swings its upperbody around, detonating the dust. Because the dust moves outwards, it is easiest to avoid this attack by dodging through the clouds and getting close to Magnamalo. This is a good chance to keep hitting the Magnamalo until the attack is over.

Hellfire Rifle - Magnamalo twirls its tail around, swirling Hellfire energy in the air as it strafes sideways slowly, locking onto a hunter. When it stops, it immediately fires a large beam of Hellfire at its target over a long distance. This attack deals immense damage and knocks players far away. Anticipate the shot and dodge sideways at the last second.

Hellfire Rain - Magnamalo spins its tail up high slowly, whipping out up to 3 sets of 3 Hellfire orbs that fly in different directions. Individual orbs are easy enough to dodge as they have a small hitbox. Magnamalo will usually perform this move from a stationary ranged position but will sometimes shoot out the orbs while walking slowly. It will also sometimes follow up its Leaping Tackle move with Hellfire orbs.

Tail Swing - Magnamalo briefly slaps its tail on the ground and then performs a diagonally-spinning tail slash. When enraged, it will often perform this move 3 times in rapid succession, accompanied by Hellfire dust clouds traveling outwards. Dodge under the move where the tail rises off the ground to evade the attacks, keep dodging towards the Magnamalo to be able to keep attacking it until the attack is over.

Divebomb - Magnamalo leaps high into the air in a twisting motion, performs a second jump and then nosedives towards its target. A direct hit will deal immense damage and can KO hunters clad in even the strongest armor.

Hellfire Divebomb - Magnamalo performs a special roar where it glows powerfully with Hellfire energy as the camera zooms out a short distance. It then charges at a hunter, zips around the battlefield, causing explosions and then leaps high up and divebombs towards the center area, causing a massive explosion and most likely one-shotting any hunters caught in the blast. Players can tell this move is coming soon when Magnamalo's Hellfire aura turns a deep purplish-red color. If you are not confident in your dodging ability, sheathe your weapon and get ready to perform an Emergency Evade.
