Alatreon fight

Ok, so I'm in my HR 40's and getting close to the alatreon fight. I want to know what weapons and armor I should use. I use a switch axe as my preferred weapon. Any help is welcome!

Amber Hoarfrost would be good. It's the bari axe upgraded to decency. If not that then Incedeas+ or Great Demonbind. The Great Demonbind is tough to get stouts for and quickly obsoleted by Great Incedeus anyway, so stick with the first two.

For armor just make sure it is well upgraded. Ala roars loud, so HGE needed. Evade is good if you are somewhat familiar with attacks, otherwise load up on offensive skills.

Practice a few times on your own. Especially helpful if you come in to the quest knowing when to heal and how to flash ala down from flight.

Best armor, and best axe. Simple.

He doesn't do much damage for an end game boss. OHK's will almost never happen with blademaster armors (considering they're +)

Have a full team, and he won't be too hard.

If you want to win; Ask some High Rank friends to clust him.

If you want to be legit; I recommend a lance for your first time, but any good Ice weapon will suffice.

I did my first successful run with High Siegliende (P) and Los overforged with AUL and Crit Eye +3.

In reality, you're better off taking a defensive weapon to Ala. The first time I fought ala, I didn't know much about him so I took a defensive approach, using a lance. Using weapons like Axe or LS is a bad idea for your first time, and surely if you can just strike and block enough, your teammates will hopefully do the rest. Just try not to die and keeping yourself, as well as your team alive. My first run against Ala went well and surely None of my team died, hopefully you'll get someone who's good with hammers.
