Kushala Daora is annoying af (even after doing in 50+ times)

[Pranci]

Just to clarify, I want a mature discussion here, not kids trying to make sad jokes. I have 430+ hours in this game and I'm currently hr 200+ and I use pretty much every weapon, but still, I find the kushala daora one of the worst monsters in the game even if I have no problem at killing it.

This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ is the worst monster ever designed for melee weapon, with a bow/lbg/hbg it's one of the easiest thing of this world but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, with a melee weapon this is a kick in the nuts. AND IT'S ONLY FOR ONE SINGLE THING, THE WIND AROUND HIM. When he puts that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ wind around him every attack you will land will result in a wind knockback and that's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying.

Yea I know I can put windproof ability but 1. A friend of mine tried it out and still got the knockback everytime I don't know why/how and 2. It's really annoying to throw away thousands of damage just for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ability.

You know, teostra/lunastra will deal less damage with a cool drink, vaal hazak and kirin debuffs are not annoying, as you just need a nulberry (a consumable that won't sacrifice your dps) and with all the other monsters you just need some consumables to resolve their abilities (for example antitode for rathalos/rathian, roll for fire/blast debuff, nulbarry again for dragon debuff, etc.)

But this thing is so annoying, because you need that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ability. The problem is that, with a ranged weapon this fight IS A JOKE as it is so easy to dodge wind breath and other attacks.

The only solution is to go with rocksteady mantle (thing that I do as it is a really powerful mantle in every situation) but you know, it's not infinite obviusly.

Tell me what you think about it, avoiding saying "eheh git gud xD" and other 10 years old crap

thank me later, and your teammates will thank you for keeping him down

already said, I know that with a bow/bowgun it's an easy fight, in fact im talking about melee weapons

[LemonSoda]

that's because it's the only way to fight kushala easily

[Mr Compassionate]

Yeah that gimmick is absolute cancer, until you put on 3 pieces of his gear and then he's completely trivial.

[Joeynator3000]

...Kushala is a lot better in this game, if you think he's the worst monster in World, then you should fight him in 4th generation.

I actually like him in World, only thing I would change is bringing back the weather effects.

I never had any issues fighting him for the first time, if anything they made him easier. (not counting Gen U because Prowler makes him a joke, but whatever, lol) Yeah for some reason the barrier never bothered me that much in World, in past games it was basically game over for me once the black wind barrier went up, and I never use ranged weapons because I suck at using them. lol

You can also stun lock with with G sword TCS w/impact mantle , and ledge cheese. Down kush with your back to a ledge, and kush's face is laying in front of you. GGs if you got a Gsword.

Again, did you guys read the post? I talked about ranged I already know, I'm talking about MELEE. Read the post again pls

What exactly is it you want to achieve with this tread?

You know what you need to do to effectively melee him. You know how to beat him with ranged.

We can't change how the fight works and all you are doing is berating people who give actual advice and whine that you can't use your "muh deeps" setup to win a little faster.

Was expecting a response like this... If there is something bad about the game, even if it won't be changed, why shouldn't we talk about it? Your response makes no sense.

Following what you are saying people shouldn't even do reviews about games, be they positive or negative

[ReeNoiP]

Sure we can talk about it. But so far you have done nothing but attack those that do. You obviously don't want to talk about what you can do to deal with it. It honestly seems more like you just want to get into arguments.

I suppose we should all just go "yeah it sucks"? Personally I don't mind that there are a few monsters that give an incentive to change your build a bit. You clearly disagree.

You don't get my point, I feel like it's normal that monsters have something that goes against you, BUT NOT SOMETHING THAT BLOCK ALL OF MY ATTACKS AND KEEPS ME STUNNED ALL THE TIME. That wind stunn is so annoying, it lasts 3-4 sec and blocks everything you can do, and it makes people rage.

Other monsters like lunastra, teostra, vaal, etc. have counters for you but that is damage that you have to heal with consumables THEY DON'T KEEP YOU STUNNED ALL DAY

Kush windaura doesn't extend to his head. I have to assume you're engaging him wrong because if you just hit the head he doesn't pressure you and trips all the time, you don't even need to flinchlock him to have a decent go at him.
The only real design flaw would be him randomly deciding to fly with no reliable way to get him out of the air except flashes. If he's immune to flashes you just gotta tickle his legs and hope he staggers and falls or just wait out his flight time which sucks.

Have fun trying that with dual blades.
Also your theory doesn't account for the fact that he moves.

Just a tip, you can use elderseal weapons on Kushala and she will never use the wind aura.

No, you don't understand: OP is complaining that they can't use the exact same DPS build to kill everything without having to adjust anything in their build at all. I seriously don't understand this mindset. Just swap to another melee weapon that can headlock, use Kushala's armor or a hunting horn with all wind negate, use ranged, or just suck it up and play around it. It's not bad design if you're too stubborn to adjust your armor or weapons for a monster, that's you handicapping yourself. Frankly, I'd be disappointed if the next MH installment did away with these sorts of fights, making counterbuilding obsolete just so people can run max DPS at all times with their favorite weapon.
