Wyvern Ride is an easy way of reducing a monster’s HP. Using other monsters to beat MR Valstrax can make the fight incredibly easier and more manageable. It also gives you more crafting materials! Utilize different monsters in the field to keep Valstrax down and remember to pick up the extra “Shinies” that drops!
You may notice Valstrax sucking up energy to power up. During this time, it pumps out its chest leaving it vulnerable to attacks. When enough damage is dealt, the chest explodes, a shiny drops, and Valstrax too becomes vulnerable for a few seconds. Take advantage of this opportunity to strike and attack when Valstrax does this move.
A key change in Master Rank Valstrax is that it now uses multiple attacks instead of short ones in High Rank. For example, the beam attack is now done twice in quick succession and can cart any hunter that it manages to hit. If you do get hit, be careful and check if Valstrax is rearing for another attack before you Wire Bug out or stand up.
Ambush is Valstrax’s ultimate move and given that it’s Master Rank, the damage is more or less enough to send you back to camp. Look at your mini map once Valstrax zooms out to perform ambush. Once it starts darting towards the ground, perform a perfectly timed dive (superman dive) to evade. If you are hunting with multiple players, it is still best to practice diving before Valstrax hits the ground. You’ll never know if you’ll get hit or not given that Ambush has a large area of effect.
MR Valstrax is very weak against all other elements except Dragon. This makes almost all weapons effective against it. Unfortunately, despite being an Elder Dragon, MR Valstrax is resistant strong against the Dragon element.
For status ailments, best bring Blast weapons and continue pummeling Valstrax to build up the effects. Other elemental blights work as well. For status ailments, most do work against MR Valstrax but only to a limited degree.
