FAQ · 3 questions

Rathalos Alpha FAQ

What skills does Rathalos α armor give?

Rathalos α gives Adrenaline Rush 5 (max), Evade Window 5 (max) and Constitution 4 across its 5 pieces. Its set bonus Rathalos's Flare unlocks Scorcher I at 2 pieces and Scorcher II at 4 pieces; 5 of its pieces carry the bonus, so 4 pieces of this set alone reach Scorcher II. The group bonus Scaling Prowess (Master Mounter) needs 3 pieces from any of the 1 sets that share it.

How do you craft Rathalos α armor?

Forging the full Rathalos α set costs 25,000 z and Rathalos Scale+ ×15, Rathalos Carapace ×14, Rathalos Wing ×7, Rathalos Certificate S ×4, Inferno Sac ×3 and Monster Keenbone ×3 plus 6 more materials. Hunt Rathalos, Gravios and Balahara in high rank for the monster parts; the rest is mined, gathered or bought. Each piece is forged separately at the Smithy under High Rank.

What is the difference between Rathalos α and Rathalos β?

Rathalos α carries 14 skill levels and 6 decoration slots (2-1-1-1-1-1); Rathalos β carries 10 skill levels and 11 slots (2-2-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1). Defense (240→400), resistances, materials and the set bonus are identical, and α and β pieces mix freely towards the bonus. Pick α pieces for the skills they carry, β pieces where you would rather slot decorations of your own.
