Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak: How To Beat Scorned Magnamalo, Weaknesses And Best Equipment

thegamer.com:

Monster Hunter Rise's expansion, Sunbreak, adds Master Rank to the game. Along with increased difficulty, Sunbreak brings a new story, new locales, the Skill Swap, and an array of additional monsters. Following the pattern of previous Master Rank expansions, variant monsters are part of the bunch. These monsters aren't just stronger than their base form, they have completely different attacks.

A completely new variant is the last one most players will encounter - Scorned Magnamalo. Scorned Magnamalo is deep, deep into the endgame. You have to reach MR 100 to even unlock it. This variant of Rise's flagship is constantly surging with hellfire, especially from its oversized arm blades. It will truly test your control over the game's mechanics, and here's how to rise to the challenge.

Scorned Magnamalo has surprisingly good hitzones for an endgame monster. It takes decent damage from all parts of its body, but it's most vulnerable at the head and front legs. It will also fill parts of its body with hellfire throughout the fight, which makes them more vulnerable for a bit.

The elemental weaknesses are the same as the regular Magnamalo - weak to Water and Thunder, resistant to Fire and Dragon. Severing damage has higher hitzone values on average, but Bludgeoning damage also works well because Scorned Magnamalo stuns easily.

This fight is not friendly to ranged weapons. Scorned Magnamalo's hitzone values for projectile damage are very poor, and its most dangerous attacks are all long-range. It is best to stick with mobile, short-range weapons. Use fully upgraded Mizutsune weapons to take advantage of Magnamalo's Water weakness.
