The original Tobi-Kadachi was one of the first monsters you faced in Monster Hunter World, but Iceborne has the Viper Tobi-Kadachi. It differs from its purely lightning cousin in its more reptilian appearance. It can also inflict one of three different status ailments that can easily put you in a vulnerable position.

Viper Tobi-Kadachi weaknesses and resistances

Speaking of ailments, you do not want to bring any weapons with status ailments as they will not last long enough for you to properly use them. While it is possible to capture Tobi-Kadachi with the shock trap/tranquiliser bomb combination, the stun window is very short. Most elements don’t do much against the Viper Tobi-Kadachi. However, in a twist of irony since it uses paralysis and its cousin has electric attacks,it is weak to Thunder. Ice can also do in a pinch, but Thunder is the main element you’ll want to use against it.
