Recommended Strategy:

Keep your distance from the Brachydios as much as possible. Its punches and slime are dangerous. Use lures to your advantage. Hit it once or twice, then retreat to a safe distance and wait for its next move. After it attacks, you can hit its flank or tail once or twice before moving away again. This strategy keeps you safe from its slime and provides windows to react to its Fire Wall or Explosion attacks. Be cautious of its slime and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
