Frenzied Bloodlust is a brand-new skill that grants a Wirebug after overcoming the Frenzy virus. This skill is only found on armor pieces that already have the regular Bloodlust skill, so it’s unlikely to go to waste no matter which pieces you equip. The helm is great for defensive players and works well with armor from other monsters, and the mail synergizes well with any Magala weapon thanks to Handicraft and Ammo Up.
It should be noted that certain pieces of Risen Shagaru’s armor require parts from other foes. Diametrical Horns can only be found by defeating Chaotic Gore Magala. Additionally, a Gore Mantle and Contrary Scale can each only be found by farming Gore and Chaotic Gore, respectively. Luckily, you can get those through the Item Exchange provided by the Anomaly Research Lab as long as you have enough Investigation Coins. Keep taking on afflicted monsters and you’ll have the materials you need in no time!
