Rajang | Monster Hunter Rise Wiki

MH Rise Rajang Combat Info

A Rajang is most dangerous when its arms are powered up, allowing it even to destroy Shock Traps. Attack its tail to remove this effect. In its regular state, it will also avoid Pitfall Traps. It will immediately attack anything that invades its territory, so watch your step.

• Enraged Mode: Part of Rajang's pelt along its back glows a bright golden color and its attacks become much faster and more aggressive. Rajang also has a Super Enraged state where its arms glow red and become hardened, causing attacks to bounce off. Its Super Enraged state also grants it access to a devastating dive bomb move.
• Rampage: Rajang fills the Targeter Role during Rampage missions. Targeters use ranged attacks to go after hunters. Using Hunting Installations to stun and inflict status ailments can bring these enemies to the ground, making them easier to defeat.

Quick Combat Tips

• Rajang's weakspot is its head. When not in its Super Enraged state, its arms also take a decent amount of damage but be wary as nearly all of Rajang's attacks are aimed at its front and have large hitboxes.
• Rajang has 3 states with different appearances:
  • Non-Enraged, which is a common dark Rajang, this is how it looks when it's first encountered.
  • Enranged: Rajang's hair glows in bright yellow and spikes up.
  • Super Enraged: Its hair still glows but its arms and hands turn red.
• When enraged, focus your attention on Rajang's tail. Dealing enough damage to it can knock the beast down and get it possibly out of enrage mode.
• After being in enraged mode a certain amount of time, Rajang will let out a furious roar and enter Super Enraged mode. Its arms glow red and will cause weapons to bounce. It also gains access to its Thundering Smash move that hits extremely hard.
• Take advantage of the long animations and recovery times of certain attacks such as its Lightning Beam and Thundering Smash. Close the distance and attack Rajang while it is vulnerable.
• Be wary of using traps against Rajang as their effectiveness depends on its current state. Rajang will break Shock Traps while in Super Enraged mode but can be trapped while in its normal and regular enraged states. Rajang will avoid Pitfall Traps unless it is enraged or super enraged. Note that Rajang can still attack you while inside a Pitfall Trap.
• Rajang has not many attacks against targets that are placed behind it. Most of its attacks are about throwing something to the front, casting a beam or charging towards the target. That being said, whenever you are close to it, it's most convinient to dodge to the back of the Rajang. If the Rajang is performed a long animation attack you can use the chance to attack from the back. Specially when it is Super Enraged. Dodging away from Rajang is generally a bad idea.
• Rajang recovery times are pretty wide specially when it charges around the area through a long distance. Try to predict Rajang's position at the end of a charging attack to keep it at range whenever you dodge its attacks. If the Rajang ends up being too far, you can quickly wirebug towards it and gain reach again by doing so.
• Rajang gives safer opening to hit its head when its non-enraged. While Enraged or Superenraged it becomes much more dangerous to attempt an attack to its head, unless you are using some heavy tank build against it.

Rajang Attacks & Moveset

Sweeping Barrage - Rajang's bread & butter attack. It stands tall, twists its torso from one side to the other as it raises its arms and begins a flurry of arcing punches as it advances towards a target. Despite the scary appearance of the combo, the safest way to avoid this attack is to roll towards Rajang and between his back legs. Dodging in any other direction can potentially fail as each swing has a wide arc and a large hitbox.

Spinning Clothesline - Rajang stands tall, slightly pivoted to one side with one leg behind the other as it spreads its arms. It then throws its entire body forward while spinning 360 degrees and swinging hard at its target. This move comes out very quickly and knocks players far away. Try to dodge under the swinging arm or at least to its side as the attack comes in.

Mad Dash - Rajang does several quick hops across the battlefield in a zig-zag pattern, trampling any hunters along its path. Beware of the erratic pattern. At the end of the move, if Rajang finds its rear facing towards a hunter, it will perform a quick back hop that deals moderate damage and knocks players away

Lightning Beam - Rajang lets out a roar as it raises its head while electricity crackles in its mouth. It then shoots out a beam of lightning in a straight line across from it. The attack has a moderate sized hitbox and a long animation. Dodge it early and go on the offensive as Rajang is vulnerable as it shoots the beam. This move is highly telegraphed by audible cues from your hunter.

Ball Lightning - Rajang leaps high into the air and shoots a ball of lightning towards a hunter. The attack has a narrow hitbox but travels fast. It inflicts Thunderblight on a direct hit.

Thundering Smash - This move is used exclusively while Rajang is in its Super Enraged state. It lets out a loud roar, leaps very high up into the air and comes crashing down as it slams both fists on the ground. This attack deals very heavy damage but is highly telegraphed, including audible cues from your hunter.

Cannonball Dive - Rajang leaps high into the air and curls into a ball before divebombing towards a hunter. The attack has a slight AoE on impact. Dodge early to avoid it completely.

Spinning Uppercut - Rajang punches the ground with one arm and with the other, performs spinning uppercut, sending hunters flying on hit. Dodge away from Rajang as this attack comes in.

Ground Pound Combo - Rajang slams the ground three times. The first two fall on either side of the monster and are very quick while the third slam has a short wind-up. It has moderate tracking and will come down towards the hunter. The third slam is the easiest to dodge as it is slower.

Full Body Slam - Rajang stands tall, raising both arms above its head before performing a belly flop. Deals heavy damage on a direct hit and also causes tremors around the impact zone, causing hunters to lose their footing for a few seconds. Dodge towards and underneath Rajang's hind legs as it hops up to the dive.

Upheaval - Rajang digs its forearms into the earth, pulling up a large chunk of rock and sending any hunters around it flying. Stay out of the attack's radius to prevenet getting thrown.

Furious Clutch - Rajang leans forward with its arms outstretched at its sides in a hugging stance. It then lunges forward and attempts to grab a hunter. If the attack connects, Rajang will violently shake the hunter and then toss them away, rendering them unable to move. Rajang will then begin a menacing, slow walk towards the downed hunter. When it reaches its target, it pummels them with a powerful overhead punch. This follow-up deals immense damage and should be avoided at all costs. Manage your Wirebugs well and use a Wirefall after the beast tosses you away to recover quickly.
