How to beat the Arzuros
The Arzuros is not very nasty in Monster Hunter Rise (the same cannot be said for the Superior Arzuros...). It's a rather small beast, which can only hit with its claws. This means that as long as it's on all fours or sitting on its backside, it can't do much except charge you.
Things get more complicated when the Arzuros stands up on its two hind legs. If you see it turn its upper body slightly, it is going to try to hit you with a combo of three to five very painful claws. If it leans forward, it will attack with both claws simultaneously, throwing you into the air and doing a lot of damage.
The best way to dodge it is also the best way to damage it: the Arzuros' back is its weakest point and it is unable to attack behind it. If he still gives you a bit of trouble, you can try to break his claws with explosives or blunt weapons when he is tired or thrown to the ground. Without its claws, it does much less damage and loses agility.
