Water and thunder-based attacks prove particularly ineffective, dramatically reducing combat efficiency.

Electrical afflictions like paralysis prove predictably ineffective against this Thunder-aligned creature. Alternative status strategies involving sleep toxins or explosive compounds show better results. Traditional leviathan countermeasures including shock traps and flash devices remain viable, though acoustic tools lack impact.
Mastering these strategies will enhance your effectiveness against this aquatic menace. For advanced hunting techniques, consult comprehensive Wilds strategy resources.
