Anjanath Attack Patterns
Fire Breath

The signature move of Anajanath. Emits a fire breath like a flamethrower and attack hunters. If possible, equip armors with fire-resistance.
Biting Attack

A simple biting attack. However, when Anjanath is enrage, it grows red and a flame flares up, dealing fire damage to hunters.
Charging Attack

One of the most deadly attack of Anjanath. Since it rushes towards the hunter, you'll need to sheathe your weapon to dodge this. This move has not been confirmed from the official trailer of MHRise but it's likely to be included.
