Good news - I have the Onslaught...yey...bad news...I can't seem to kill anything in HR5 with the armor I have right now
So...does anyone wanna help or give suggestions?
When I got to HR4, the first thing I did was mountain gathering quests to get carbalite ore to make a knight lance. I used the lance to kill hermitaurs to make a hermitaur S set with guard +2. While killing the hermitaurs I was using my modified garuga armor which had guard +1.
When I got to HR5, I used the onslaught hammer to kill my favorite rathalos over and over again. After that I went straight to the uber sets. I used the hermitaur armor to kill the rathalos', but then I could probably have used the elder garuga armor since I can get away with just getting hit once or twice during the entire hunt.

At 420+ defense, Akantor can both kill you in one hit if you're affected by its def down status attack. I think Fatalis' one hit kill is in MHP2G, in the HR9 mission.
The only advice I can give for the difficulty is to be diligent and familiarize yourself with the attack patterns. With a hammer you can score perfects on khezu, rathalos, rathian, tigrex, akantor, kirin, and a few others.
I used hammer for everything except:
lance for HR5 green plesi and dual tigrex
gunlance for Akantor
dual swords for lao-shan lung and black gravios
Right now I'm bored so I'm using bow for everything
