Hardcore Zenaserisu Vs. Extreme Hammer - Monster Hunter Frontier ZZ

Zenaserisu is hands down my favorite fight in Frontier.
This monster has such an amazing design and fight. Apparently, it's based on bats, as well as a Greek goddess.
It reminds me a lot of Namielle ; a Wyvern or Dragon with aquatic features, in contrast to other aquatic monsters in the series which are usually of the piscine, leviathan or carapaceon species.
This fight is actually so perfect, I think you could put Zenaserisu in Sunbreak without changing one thing about it and it would fit right in.
I got hit a whopping three times in this run, and I was trying to limit myself to getting hit only once, but in the end I think I played really well, to the point that in 100 runs, this was the first where I scored a third KO on Zena which allowed me to slay it in this area before it could limp away, and get a time bellow 5 minutes.
The first time I got hit was a huge brainfart on my part, the second was Zena performing the classic Gen 1 tail swipe which is pretty rare, and third was the ONLY move I dislike a bit in her moveset, which is the double water blades followed by the slam. I think this move comes out just a bit too quick.
11/10 fight, seriously this thing is awesome. Was a bit frustrating to solo with Hammer because it's a somewhat odd matchup but I managed to get better at it and land some good hits in the end, and of course that third KO was huge.
Zena almost feels out of place in this game, especially with its body type based on Berukyurosu and Doragyurosu, which are in my opinion much worse and jankier fights. You can see Zena was designed near the end of Frontier because of how flawless its moveset is in between the different moves and animations, its speed, and the long poses it has after performing some of its sequences.
I say this because there are a lot of monsters in this game that are arguably stronger than Zena and yet do not have as much openings despite being even more relentless than her, especially some Zeniths like Zenith Daimyo.
In general, a lot of monsters in this game are hit or miss for me but Zena really hits the spot, it's so, so good. I already slayed maybe 30 or more of them because I needed a lot of her Blood Gems for my sets, but each farming session was a joy.

I like how much of a subversion of expectation Zena is. It's appearance makes you initially percieve it as an edgelord type monster, like Stygian Zinogre, but then you see more of it and find out that your first impression was actually the opposite of what it turns out to be. He uses the least edgy element in the game, moves gracefully like a ballet dancer, has one of the chillest themes, makes rainbows with it's attacks, all the antithesis of edgy.

I like that the water sort of emphasizes the strength of hammer attacks.

Good luck with Z4 Gasura when you need to max his hammer, he is a menace. Its interesting to see some exotic pieces on your set, instead of other zenith ones.

These hammer attack animations are epic. First time watching gameplay of this game. Fucking greatness

[@magnabueno5360]

Zena is one of my fav monsters in frontier (I never played it)

[@Arc-ug7dc]

So cool how you used the hammer’s entire toolkit

I don't know if you're taking requests but could we at one point get a wide poke shelling run in sunbreak? This playstyle feels so weird and alien to me personally beacuse it's so stationary in contrast to the rest of the game. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@strikerali2160]

Glad to see this is a monster you really like. It’s one that I hear get the usual “too many spikes discussion around it

[@moonki6688]

i like this monster. Imo some frontier monsters should come back for future games. Nice run btw

[@feeharn5531]

Such a sick fight. This map is so gorgeous and so is the ost. I wish I could actually like... get to this part of the game...

[@Alejandro-dl3kd]

[@biyanshandy8425]

Is it just me or those charge attacks look like sunbreak's impact crater 🤔🤔
