Guardian Ebony Odogaron is a formidable foe, especially since it is a genetically engineered creature designed to be a better and much more superior version of the original monster. This enemy boss can heal fast, which is reason enough to fight aggressively, but this doesn't mean you should fight aimlessly.

You can easily dodge attacks, such as backward bites, chomps, foreleg swings, projectile attacks, and more. Enemy bosses take a while to wind up their attacks, and this could buy you a few seconds to get out of harm's way. If you are left with no choice, you can always resort to the dive and evade tactic, widely known as the Superman dive. This maneuver can protect your hunter from powerful attacks.

The Guardian Ebony Odogaron has a weak roar attack that can temporarily immobilize your hunter. You can counter this with the Earplugs Charm, which can give you the Earplug skill. Slotting the right talismans and charms can give your hunter an edge.
