Rajang help

Rajang is a big demon bull that beats the living daylights out of me I NEED HELP
I don't know what armor to use so i pick a random set and I KNOW it should have thunder resist but kirin/khezu armor, well, khezu isn't that good and i'm not able to vs the high rank kirin to get amazing high rank kirin armor.
My weapon is frost edge+
I use SnS mainly and if I screw up lots then i use a hammer
Can someone recommend
1 strategy
2 weapon
3 armor

Oddly enough, SnS and Hammer are the two weapons I find the easiest for Rajang.

For SnS, I'd recommend a poison or ice SnS, like the Frost Edge+ >>> Ice Fang SnS or Princess Rapier >>> Royal Rose SnS for poison.
As for tactics, with a SnS you want to be as close to him as possible, but always run around him in a circle (generally run clockwise around him, which means you'd be going to your left.)
After each of his attacks lands, use your leap attack to close the gap, give him two more solid hits, and then roll forward as he's about to face you / attack you. He'll normally never get a solid hit on you. If he does, make sure you have the proper healing items to eat on the go, since that's the strong point of SnS.

If you have a lot of trouble, don't be afraid to bring some traps along with some bombs.
For armor, I'd suggest something suitable for an SnS, one such example would be Tigrex armor, quick-eating is a great skill for SnS, and the other skills presented by Tigrex are pretty good as well. You may also want to consider Narga armor, since your evasion will be much better with that set as opposed to the others. So if you're having trouble evading him, go for Narga armor.

For hammers, I'd suggest a hammer along the Diablos Hammer >>> Chaotic Order line, or Onslaught >>> Juggernaut line. If you're interested in getting horns, then go for Icy Impact >> Axion. You could also go for the Devil Masher >>> Iron Devil's Soul hammers that have paralyze attribute. It's always amusing getting Rajang paralyzed and smashing its face in. But you have to be persistent with weaker attacks to take advantage of it.

When fighting Rajang with a hammer, it's best to minimize your ability to get stunned in any way. To which I would suggest getting some sort of Blango armor or equivalent armor that gives you Quake Resistance. After that, you can get what ever you like along with the set. Evade or Evade Distance Inc, like from Narga armor, never hurt either. If you can get a set with both then you'd be stylin' against Rajang.

Generally, you'll want to circle Rajang just like you do with the SnS, but even closer, and generally with your charge-pound on the whole time. Which brings up another important point, you want mega juice. Plenty of mega juice. Normally, don't ever try to attack Rajang when it's facing you. But you'll want to get in some good triple-pounds on it while it's trying to turn around. Generally the final swing will always stagger it if it makes contact. Use that to your advantage to roll away before it has a chance to retaliate.

Yeah, I just suggested the element since it's weaker in general to it. But for hammers it's kinda useless.
Element on a bow would be better frankly. I never really recommend using elemental hammers. Even the para one is more for lulz than for efficiency.

but what armor should I use if I'm fighting with SnS?

I'd never thought I'd quote myself. But I guess my previous post was too long. :l I'll just show the important bits:

And, would a paralyze atribute SnS be efficient?

Absolutely, status ailment attributes work best on weapons that deal many attacks, like DS, SnS, and LS. (Bows count too I guess...)

what HR is this? it is quite stupid to give recommendation for armor if you can't get it yet. that's why at most people can only recommend the skills that will be helpful

K, i'm HR5 and fighting 9* Nekoht Rajang, and i'm trying him again and I WILL NOT GET THE STUFFING BEATEN OUT OF ME THIS TIME

I just did 'get the stuffing beaten out of me.' I'm depressed

Did you figure out what attacks are hitting you the most? Can't really help unless I know where you're having trouble.

Um... the answer to that would be everything apart from electric beam and berserker punches

Well if that's all, then you're probably being too aggressive while fighting him. If you're facing him and he's facing you while you get hit by spin attack, then you need to rethink your positioning when you're close to him, generally you can get far enough away by rolling under his legs. But sometimes that's not the case, sometimes you don't have enough time.

That leaves... Backhop, body slam, and his rolling missile attack.
I can understand the backhop one, even after my considerable amount of fights against him, I still get backhopped by him a lot, and it friggin' hurts. Generally it becomes less common to be hit by it if you attack from the correct angles from behind him. Usually more to the side is a safer bet.
Body slam...? Eh, that one pretty much just screams that you didn't roll away quickly enough. :\ Rolling between his rear legs will put you in a safe spot from that attack, though you'll still get hit by the tremor probably.

The rolling missile attack? Well, that one also means you didn't roll away quickly enough. If he leaps backward when you're fighting him, at least half the time he's going to do that attack. So your best bet is to roll sideways, relevant to his current facing position. Generally rolling to the right at that point in time works the best. And, like many good things in life, you don't just roll once.
