Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak - What is Frenzy and how to counter it?

sportskeeda.com:

Monster Hunter Rise is filled with monsters that can deal incredible amounts of damage, either actively by virtue of their size and strength or passively via blights and ailments that they can inflict on players. From Poison to Paralysis, the game is chalk-full of unique and oftentimes troubling status ailments that monsters can weaponise against the players.

With the release of Sunbreak, Capcom has introduced yet another status effect into the game called 'Frenzy'. Here is a brief rundown of the Frenzy status ailment, what it does, and whether players can cure or counter it.

Frenzy is essentially a unique ailment that comes from the newly added monster to Sunbreak, Gore Magala. It is a returning monster from Monster Hunter 4, and Frenzy has been a part of this Elder Dragon's abilities ever since.

Gore Magala lacks any visual receptors or eyes, so to make up for that, the monster uses scales that it scatters from its wings and the feelers on its head to determine the location of other lifeforms in its surroundings. These scales are vectors of the 'Frenzy virus,' which in fact are the reason for the Frenzy status effect.

The Frenzy virus affects both monsters as well as hunters, but in different ways. While the ailment weakens the hunter's healing potential and defenses, it increases the aggression of large monsters, oftentimes changing them into their Apex variants. Gore Magala can also be affected by Frenzy, changing into a 'frenzy state', which increases the monster's aggression and attack substantially.

When inflicted by Frenzy, players will have their defenses reduced significantly, causing them to be vulnerable from increased damage from monsters. The ailment also completely negates the natural healing of the hunters.
