Am I too weak? / How powerful should I be at each point of the story?
I'm currently up to defeating the Agnaktor EX in Manelger's laboratory and I seem to have hit a power brick wall. I'm not sure if I should've done more grinding or not, but I can't seem to survive two hits from the boss.
According to a few guides, I should be breaking its head and tail before attacking the main body to prevent it from attacking twice per turn in its enraged state (which means it has 2x damage) and perfectly attacking all weaknesses, but even after doing so, I can't seem to survive at least three turns taking damage (especially the rider). Healing items can't keep up in the rage stage, and I'm always for the most part, ending up using at least half of my collection of Potion/Mega Potions.
I'm currently using Uragaan Armor, upgraded to Level 2, and all my monsties are Level 20-25. My character is at Level 22.
I don't want to have to hit a brick wall in the story, so when should I be levelling up for the next part of the story?
To make sure this is helpful to all, how powerful should I be, or more specifically, how powerful should I be at each stage of the story?

I know this is a late response, but just gonna put this out there. I just defeated him today, and used a level 23 or level 22 Zamtrios, and Ratha which was about level 24-25. I used x3 Lifepower, and I think around x5 Lifesoot. I also have around x10 Potions, and I had x3 Armorskin but really only used x2. I alternated between Ratha and my Zamtrios once their health got low, and would use Savage Fireball when I had Ratha, and the Spread Frost Breath attack with my Zamtrios. I would attack the head first and then the tail. When it goes underground I recommend using Armorskin on your Monstie, as it will oneshot your character but if it tries to attack your Monstie it doesn't always oneshot it. You can also save up your Kinship Charge a few times and Ride once this happens. I recommend saving your hearts for the Charged Stinger, but you can use your Kinship attack on them when they're underground, causing them to not be able to attack you. (Atleast that was the case for me.) Hope this helps!
