Monster Hunter Now Black Diablos event details

Diablos and Black Diablos will receive increased spawns in Desert Habitats. Just like in the Legiana weekend, monsters in all Habitats will reappear in shorter intervals than usual. This means you’ll be able to consistently hunt more monsters with less downtime.

Monster Hunter Now Black Diablos weakness 

Black Diablos is weak to both Thunder and Paralysis, which means Hunters will want to utilize Tobi-Kadachi weapons or those from the Great Girros weapon tree. Make sure you upgrade your equipment as much as possible to ensure you’re dealing as much damage as possible.
