Against Luga Ealda, prioritize getting clear of area attacks over squeezing in extra hits. Resume attacking after the dragon finishes a major attack and has time to recover.
Evade area attacks before attacking
The draft identifies concentrated energy and debris or elemental residue as possible warnings of incoming danger. When you see these cues, stop your combo and move to a clear area. If the attack covers a wide radius, dodge away from its center rather than staying nearby to keep dealing damage.
Don’t rely on a specific glow color or assume every cue signals the same attack. The supplied material does not establish exact attack patterns or safe distances.
Use recovery windows for heavy attacks
Save high-commitment attacks for moments when Luga Ealda settles after a major elemental or flight-based attack. If it is still moving or beginning another attack, prioritize repositioning instead.
Keep some stamina available for an emergency dodge, and avoid extending a combo when the dragon may attack. If you are playing in a group, coordinate heavy attacks after a stagger; the draft identifies that as a damage opportunity, but does not establish how long it lasts or which body part should be targeted.

This helped me understand strategy much better.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
Nice guide. I am checking the other Monster Hunter Outlanders articles next.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
