Shrieking Legiana - Tips & Tricks

Shrieking Legiana Overview

Ice Subspecies Of MHW

A new subspecies introduced only in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Shrieking Legiana is the ice element version of the Legiana. Native to Hoarfrost Reach, it mainly does ice attacks that can stab you with precision.

Faster & Stronger Than Regular Legiana

The Shrieking Legiana has a similar moveset to the normal Legiana. However, this monster is faster, has wider range, and higher ice damage. Increase your defense stats and dodge when needed to avoid getting damaged.

Preparing For Shrieking Legiana

Bring Items & Skills To Counteract Iceblight

The Shrieking Legiana uses several ice attacks against you. It would be best for you to bring items & skills that counteract the possibility of Iceblight getting applied to you. These include the Blight Resistance skill and the Nullberry.
