One of the new additions is the Violet Mizutsune, which is blue and white, weirdly. While there are numerous Mizutsune variants already out there mixing fire and water, the way this subspecies applies Fire element into its classic movements brings a whole new fight to the table, and the differences are huge enough to distance it from other versions of this beloved monster.

Mizutsune is the weakest at its head and neck, which are fairly easy to hit. However, its dorsal fin it's a different story, so you may need to employ some airborne strategies to destroy that part. On the Elemental side, it's significantly weak to Ice and in a minor fashion to Thunder, so you want to keep that in mind at the moment of equipping a weapon. Do not waste your time with ailments because he's pretty much resistant to all of them, and Gunner weapons won't hit it as hard as Blademaster ones, so your choices are plenty, but specific.

Given Mizutsune's weakness to Ice, you will find your best options in the likes of the Flicker Blizzard Slash (Aurora Somnacanth's Longsword), Blizzard Biter (Barioth's Greatsword), and Fengul Frostclaws (Lunagaron's Dual Blades). Keep in mind that Violet Mizutsune is pretty sturdy against any other element or ailment, although you could try some Thunder weapon lines like Zinogre or Astalos as good alternatives.

On the armor side, you will need both Fire and Water
