Shaggy is no Risen CGV, still the best fight maybe now topped by Amatsu if not for Amatsu's poor stats. However, I think he's fairer than he seems.
His attacks don't let up and feel bullshit, but you gotta realize something crucial about Shaggy.
ALL of his attacks attack forwards. His backside is so vulnerable. You're almost always safe attacking his tail for instance. If you're on a mobile weapon, he's a bit of a pushover.
You do have to attack the front eventually though if you want to recover from Frenzy. And you're obviously a bit limited in how much time you have to actually whack the tail and back legs since he'll turn around pretty quickly. And being under him you can still get hit easily by his charge attacks and some close range frenzy blasts.
It's pretty hard to keep up with I'd say. I think it and Risen Valstrax are going to end up being the hardest monsters in the game. Which one is the hardest will probably vary per person. We'll see how the Malzeno variant compares in a few months.
