The Blackwing is an important monster in the Monster Hunting cycle. Despite the introduction of the Hootclaw Monster, Blackwing gears remain highly recommended in their class. Read on to find out why and how to effectively hunt the Blackwing.

The Blackwing looks like a strange, grumpy snake with two heads. It is best defeated using a Monster Hunting ATK Lineup Team. Avoid using a Magical Attack lineup against him as it will be ineffective.
