Revenge - Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax Vs. Strength Hammer - 傀異克服 バルファルク ハンマー ソロ【サンブレイク】

Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax is an interesting Risen form that can sustain substantial damage before it even enters its Risen state.

I actually suspect that the developers intentionally made it this way in order to "shorten" the amount of time players have to fight it in its Risen form.

The reason why is simple, while Risen CGV is a much better and arguably much harder fight in its regular form, it cranks it up even higher when it enters Risen state, becoming a monster that genuinely keeps up with all of the tools at the disposal of Sunbreak hunters.

It chains multiple attacks quickly, barely stops in between moves, almost never taunts, leaves trails of exploding gas on its attacks that easily one shot unwary hunters who think they can counter their way through its moves, and finally it has an ultimate move that actually comes out pretty quick and leaves only a few seconds for players to sheathe their weapons and dive.

It is one of the single best fights in Sunbreak and one of the best fights in the entire series, patching pretty much all of the issues regular CGV had.

Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax actually reminds me of this event quest called "Forget Valstrax, Big Sis is Scarier!" in MHXX/GU, where a Valstrax with twice its normal HP and Attack was genuinely one of the hardest fights in the game. And lastly, my favorite thing about RCGV is that it's Ambush is a reference to the comet in the sky of MHXX/GU.
