Thunder will be the best to use against it if you insist on it. When it comes to the type of weapon you want to use, Slashing and Blunt have select parts they’re better at damaging. For example, Slashing is best used against Garangolm’s head, whereas a Blunt weapon is best used against the arms. However, each of these weapons are nearly identical regarding damage potential, with ammo being the lowest in almost every category.
