Black Diablos Burrow Attack Differentiation for GP
as a CB user it's better to guard point attacks like this than spend 12 years sheathing to dodge.
The problem arises when you try to GP her burrow and expect her instant unburrow. Once you've commited to the animation you're stuck if it's a delayed strike. Against tempered that 2 shots you even with drug/seed/powder combo it isnt a mistake that can be afforded.
Is there some kind of tell she gives off so you can read which attack it will be?
MH is a game all about telegraphed moves so learning the game is rewarded if you have the skill to pull off the moves.
Are there any other recommendations? Is guard skill required? can you get off screamer pods in time without quick sheath as CB?

You could simply guard. If you can’t guard point Black Diablos consistently then you could take Guard +3. With guard 3 and a red shield you shouldn’t take any knockback (equivalent of guard 5).
I can guardpoint everything else cosistently (double head swing/charge/tailwhip/normalburrow). Was hoping that there was a tell in the burrow or digging pattern that I was missing that telegraphed which attack it was going to be.
My main issue with just regular blocking is the stamina/sharpness hit. It's generally enough to knock you out of blue.
Does Guard 5 stack with red shield or is it just a flat 2 level in which maxes it out with G3. Never ran the skill before.
Only HR 35 or so. no access to decent gems Current Running These Skills.
In Gen/GenU, Red shield prevents sharpness loss when guarding. I'm not sure if they carried that over to World or not, unfortunately (I haven't used CB much due to a lack of a reliable controller and being unable to settle on an intuitive [for me] M&KB binding scheme).
