Kushala Daora help

[Valpi]

Just looking for general tips on how to beat Kushala. Currently stuck at the story line in HR to slay Kushala and I'm currently getting my butt handed to me by this dragon. I won't see this advice for a day, but any help is nice.

Just for a heads up, using a Charge Blade, and this is the first monster hunter I've ever played, I'm not very good at it, so be gentle haha

In HR, bring flash pods and flash bugs to make more. Every time Kushala flies, use a flash pod once it moves out of its tornado.

That's what she said!


OK, seriously: HR gains no resistance to flash so should be easy. As crate said, Kush is immune to it while in his tornado, though.
You should probably kill him enough times to build 3 pieces of the set. They will come in handy against MR Kush, 'Negate Wind' means you can attack him even through the windshield.

Additionally to using flash pods whenever you can, if it builds too much wind on it's body so that it pushes you away when you get too close, try to aim for head or tail exclusively, since wind doesn't reach that far. Alternatively use Axe mode to increase your reach.

You can also bring the Dragonbone weapon (if you can) that will deactivate the wind once you deal enough damage.

I think I killed HR kushala with a team. It was supppppppppper annoying as I was using dual blades. I believe we had 2 ranges and they did all the job, it took longer cuz we couldn't dps properly lmao.

If you've got a Hunting Horn user in your group, there are a couple of horns which can help against the wind effect - I believe the insect/vespoid ones are good at that, though there are others as well.
If you're using Safi horns, then Stamina Melody 3 / 4 should both have the notes you're after. (DarkBlue+Yellow / DarkBlue+Orange, iirc.)

oh come on, somebody join his quest and kick daora already haha

Post your session ID if you want help with Kushala.
Otherwise, just abuse the flash pods whenever it flies up in the air
and do your phial combo and just SAED it to death.

Imagine getting AT MR kushala..even his tempered version is super annoying.. Anyway OP just bring flash pod everytime he go up to the air boom flash him he will be down like a cold turkey. Then SAED him to dead. Used impact phial if u have that type of CB, he is very suspectible to stun

[Gaoh]

Aim for the head. Every head flinch will send Kushala reeling on the floor, giving you plenty of openings for juicy combos.

As usual, focus on surviving and observing his patterns to learn them if carting is your issue.
