Fire-based armaments prove completely ineffective against this creature, forcing players to rely on physical damage components when using equipment with this element. This significantly reduces combat efficiency compared to optimized loadouts.

Most debilitating status conditions prove effective, though paralysis resistance requires special consideration. Traditional hunting tools like shock traps and flash devices remain viable, while sonic-based equipment offers no tactical advantage in this encounter.
