rath or lagi armor

So what is beter for bowgun and blade, i know that both are better for different monsters i just what to know what i am going to have on more

Lagiacrus is pretty nice all around, but when using things where affinity will be a large factor, Rathalos has lagi beat.

Also lagi armor can shift twards either status attacks or elemental damage,and rath can give you AuL.

Lagi also gives Razor sharp for your weapons (blademaster) with enough slots to gem in either AUM or Evasion +1 (I think... Maybe with a talisman I guess?).

Imo, Lagi is just damn good armor for low/offline XD

^^ good point,dat offline

I say get them both! They'll be all you need to finish the offline game.

In terms of damage output, on weapons with high element ratings, AUM+Elem Up matches AUL/Crit Eye. So for elemental LS and SnS, Lagi is hands down better, since Razor Sharp is great for them. If you're lucky in offline/LR, you might get an Attack +6 (or one slot/Attack+5) talisman, which can bump Lagi up to AUL, and then it's no contest.

If you're playing online, both Lagi and Los are also quite good in high rank when overforged. I got through the 4* quests with overforged Lagi, Los, and Bari sets pretty quickly - it only takes a few hunts to overforge a set. I didn't make any of the + versions until I got past my 5* Urgent, when better yielding quests for rare materials become available.

Blademasters: Both are good. Like said previously, lagi is better for the elementally dependant weapons and for those hunters wanting a great base set of skills with great gemming options. Rathalos is geared for raw damage.

Gunner: Lagi is nice when you are focused on elemental shots. Rathalos gunner boosts most shots, a little (I/E not that great). My fave though is diablos with 2 pierce skills and two whole free armor spots for more skills.
