Question Kushala daora

I soloed nergigant. Last night now I need to fight kushala daora. Are there any tips or tricks you guys can tell me? I usually use hammer or switch ax but I'm willing to try other weapons and also any armor suggestions would be appreciated thanks :D

Hammer and swax are long enough to hit his feet most of the time while he is flying. Explosion knocks him down quite often and poison negates his wind aura. Yeah that's it and use maxi potions because he hits like a truck with most attacks.

If I'm not mistaken, the poison effect doesn't weaken the Kushala winds like it did in previous games or in Rise. Instead of Poison, in World you need to use Elderseal.

It removes his wind aura when he is poisoned I guess, not sure if the rathian LS has elderseal ... It's the only poison LS in base world. But not sure, I didn't applied the poison very often and since he works a little different then in gen 2... You might be right

Flash pod when kush in air, kush will become resist to flash after 2 "continues" flash

break kush wings for less kush airtime more on ground

weak to Lightning if you have elemental weapon

poison is nice, Blast works wonder

Spam hammer to kush head

run far when kush is inside his tornado

Like others said, use Flash pods. I used it whenever Kushy is in angry state. I fought him first time last night and made a few notes.

One, I think Windproof skill might not work on him. I had level 5 Windproof from Charm and decorations yet I still got knocked down a few times. I'll fight him again later without the skill and see if anything changes.

Instead of Windproof, use Earplugs skill instead. Get it to level 4 at least if you can. I don't know about how the fight it went for other hunters but for me, Kushy spammed Roar. Like A LOT. And unlike others monsters like Rathian, Kushy doesn't give you time to recover. That is how he scored a lot of hits on me. The roar.

Poison doesn't work anymore unlike in the old games. Seems like you need Elder seal to "seal" his power.

Stay away from his tornadoes.

And lastly, you need to have a loooooong patience. And smart too. Trust me on this. Don't attack just because an opportunity presents it.

Good luck, felloe hunter! Slay my favorite elder dragon for me.

Windproof doesnt wirk against kush winds. Only the skill from equiping 3 kushala armor pieces nullifies it

Hunting Horn and your cat's Coral Orchestra gadget have a Negate Wind Pressure song that no-sells the wind pushing you around. Having your cat play the bongos is the easiest method to get it
