Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Willie Erik I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Wind press is a bitch in FU. You need 20 points to be immune to everything, and not all monsters have winds that strong (Teo/Chameleos/Kushala are the ones I can remember that have Dragon Wind). Wind resistance is nice and all, but you shouldn't bother with it unless you have a set to farm an elder dragon. Even if that, only Kushala and maybe Chameleos' WP is annoying
Poison was good for this fight, the poison battle axe helped me beat Kushala as the poison weakened his wind knock back ability, seemed to work better than dragon weapons just for the anti knock back
came back to MHFU after a year now, and I improved a bit. and, now this is my first time reaching Daora. and, man, is he troublesome, he's the first monster that I struggled with this much, lol. (since the start of me coming back, at least.) and so I'm here again, thanks, man.
That's great to hear! Good job! 😄 Daora is pretty tough, for sure, I recommend using Greatsword if you can. Good luck, you can do this! Thanks for watching 🙂
I am actually a GS main. and, I just killed him earlier, lol. the wind aura's def. the big issue for me. poisoned him though and quickly shattered his head. it is really tough though. but, thanks to you I got 'em.
Hey I found my psp last week and it still works, it gave me nostalgy when I enter my mhfu world. Seeing your videos and tips makes the game easier for me now, thank you so much
This ones a pretty serious guide. Well I guess that’s to be expected for an elder dragon. Although I find Kushala the most easiest and the most fun elder dragon to battle tho :v
Yep, Kushala can be pretty rough, since it is the first available Elder Dragon, hopefully this video helps people if they were having trouble with him.
@@HeadHunter455 But I actually havent beated Teostra and Lunastra just yet cuz I wanted to use lao shan weapon on them lmao so really waiting for your lao shan guide here :)
God I love Kushala Daora, such a fun fight when you gave a good build and know his moveset. I can't wait to emulate MHFU on PC and fight him here as well.
Never played MHFU but ive really been enjoying your videos as a sort of "look back" to older, jankier Monster Hunter. Its made me wanna play MHFU myself honestly.
Great guide mate! Also another attack of his is a an aerial back hop followed by an air bullet. It has no anticipation and can be a surprise when fighting him.
Is it possible to kill this bastard during first encounter? This guy was so infuriating to fight against, his head is so annoying to hit because of constant flailing and claw attacks when flashed, the wind barrier in general was a total ass and if you haven't managed to stagger or break the head as the poison fades away then it activates the barrier all over again(sometimes, even earlier than expected). Seriously, if it weren't for this guide then i wouldn't be able to fight against this guy. The amount of HP was absurd, i even had a Rathalos armor set + Diablos Greatsword just to make sure i can kill him in one try but at best i just managed to make it flee. It's amazing that you managed to clear it with that equipment.
Yes. If you're not using a long enough weapon to hit his head and/or can't poison him consistently, then yeah it's going to be an awful time honestly :( I've fought him with LS with some success as well. (the nekoht one in particular with the g-rank moveset) I'm glad I was hopefully able to help you out :) Even if Kushala has the wind aura, you can technically hit his head without being blown back, but it takes pretty good positioning and isn't possible with weapons that are too short. The HP value is high, but that's kinda because they expect you to fight him multiple times, and because it's an Elder Dragon. With some practice and good equipment, I'm sure you'll be able to clear him in one run 🙂
Wew,childhood game.Didnt know it was like this lol,I was so frustrated when I couldnt beat Tigrex when I finally did it,couldnt beat kushala daora and I retired.
Big mood. Yeah I wanted to go through and talk about the mechanics of each fight, to hopefully help out people like how I wanted help when I first played it lol
Once again Hunter nice vid. I personally think there's no overkill here I mean it's better to be prepared right also can I point out that you are extremely lucky for sharpening and not getting hit.
Thanks! Yeah definitely, rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. lmao I get lucky sometimes, since the fight goes on for so long, I tend to make mistakes sometimes for sure :P
HAHAHA kushala IS SO EASY NOW. managed to kill it in the jungle and i did not expect it to die i thought it was a repel quest like here. man, you really help me a lot and thanks to you i finally got my tormentor!!
Hi fellow hunter! newly subbed here thank you so much for committing your time and knowledge of my favorite childhood game to give us really practical and helpful guides to work our way up to the higher ranks and tougher monsters 👍 its all due to your guide i nailed my first encounter with the Kushala decades after i last hunted him and against my initial assumption it was a total BLAST. idk why i ever tarried that much to fight him lol. LR Tigrex hunting horn and Lunastra/Tigrex armor set and staggering him like a madlad as often as manageable through the openings you pointed out was even more fun and a piece of cake that i thought. now i'm more than prepared for Lao-shan and the rest of that sheer HR suffering later lmao this channel is a blessing thanks again man keep this up
Hey, thanks for the sub! I'm really glad you like my videos 😄 I've been trying to make videos that would've helped me when i was younger trying to get through the game haha Great job with Kushala!! I'll definitely keep working on videos as I'm able to, thanks for watching! 🙂
Love your videos dude, I know I'm late to the party but these are really helping me out, thanks for showing all aspects of the fight and preparation, the edits are hilarious too!
Hey thanks!! The idea that people will find my videos even after I've moved on makes me more inspired to work on them 😅 Makes me feel like there's some lasting power to em :P Thanks for watching! 🙂
.@@HeadHunter455 Yeah there is for sure dude! That background music that you put in gets me so hype to go slap some shit. I'm working my way through the rest of your content now :) Thank you!!
Kushy-kun:Noooo,you cant just flash to stop my attack!! Me:Haha flashbang go wooo-*flashbang only last a while* chuckles,im in danger. Joke aside,as long u use sns to block the attack with thunder element,everything is a walk in the park.Inmycase however.
I'm glad it's helped! :) I remember every new monster I fought was pretty scary, I didn't know what to expect going in. You can only fight a monster for the first time once ;P
I'm planning on covering Lunastra. Maybe Teostra, but maybe not. Thanks for the support! 🙂 And yeah Switch Axe, Insect Glaive, and Charge Blade aren't in MHFU.
@@HeadHunter455 bro you know i just started playing mhp3rd so i am really in in switchaxe so i want a guide i do really good in sword/phial mode but axe mode is hard so need help 😊😉
@@zed499 Good choice, swaxe is fun. Save axe mode for whenever you can't reach a tail, or when a monster is down so you can spend all your stamina (I don't know the exact numbers for the infinite swing [Triangle + Circle -> Circle to begin the infinite] and if it's better than sword mode'd damage output). Besides that, sword will always trump axe in terms of damage, blame capcom for making the sword so good.
Nice guide. It a bit weird to see an elder dragon this early after you just got done fighting tiggy but that mhfu for you. Weird ass quest line ups. The only thing I really would've added is the showing of getting of lvl 3 charges in between his wind blasts but the timing is really tight.
Thanks 🙂 Yeah! If you look at the quest lines for the games things tend to escalate a bit rapidly, when I was first playing the game it took me so long for each monster, it was an adventure, a journey, now when I play I'm like "Oh shit, I'm at Tigrex already?" lol, I guess they wanted to (and imo did) strike a balance between slow enough for new players but fast enough for veterans to get to the late game pretty quickly if they wanted. Especially in the guild hall.
Watching your videos inspired me to finally check out Freedom unite! I played a bit of the iso port but just couldn't get past those controls. I'm new to ppsspp so I was wondering what Graphic's setting you'd recommend. If any at all
It's a really good game! 🙂 I'd say go into game and start changing settings to see what they do, if you're on pc you can change the settings while the game is running from the top of the window, "Game settings>Rendering resolution" etc. I have mine set to 3x rendering resolution, 3x texture scaling, and Supersampling AA as the Postprocessing shader. I think those will do the most, but feel free to tweak those and mess with other things as well.
I'm more better at using bows than swords n I remember in my first encounter how I was mad cause he just froze me with his breath n also my arrows deflected back at me. After 2 or 3 trials I finally learned to hit in his head or tail n whenever he tries to fly just use the flash to bring him back on the ground n then use the poison arrows n some other powered up arrows n then finally defeated him.
Same. As a beginner, I thought the norm was using ranged for kushala but didn't realize wind negate and earplugs were a thing. Now I'm just cringing at my younger self raging about it.
I love this game . En mi opinión MHFU es el pinaculo de los juegos de MH ninguno te hace sentir la presión y la responsabilidad de tener tanto tus habilidades como tu equipo y objetos.aun con las inconveniencias y mecanicas lentas y fastidiosas es un juego demaxiado completo
I once farmed this grumpy old man's item using only a Rathalos Armor and Wyvern Blade Fire. Was a good achievement because i had to fight him for 20 times to get his horns and tails
You know, there is something i have been wondering Which type of way to determine what weapon is good at dealing damage on monsters? The raw damage, The sharpness, or The element? Because some weapons are good because of their raw damage for killing Low rank and High rank but low sharpness(Example Akantor weapons) But some weapons are good because they have high sharpness(Example Copper Blagonga and Nargacuga weapons) Now at least i understand Gunner weapons just need at least a high attack stat, good elemental damage for bow, a good charge attack for bow, bullets LBG and HBG can use and rapid fire bullets LBG can use
hunstermonter.net/damagecalc.php There's calculations and a calculator for this. I also made a spreadsheet that shows the raw ATP values, taking into consideration sharpness and affinity. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gdsPkS4uFCgB1qlsTfDKvVqTy6AgEN-q5xMzfCga3Qg/edit#gid=1783461049 It shows some interesting things, such as one common misconception that the tigrex weapons aren't good because of their negative affinity. It's really not that bad, and they're usually just fine. And also, just in case, here's a weapon guide that I use constantly, it'll tell you a lot about weapon selection and such as well. gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283
Great guide! To be honest I never thought there will still be guide videos about Unite in 2020 but here we are lmao A tip to starters from a fellow Unite veteran: When using big weapons like greatswords or hammers to hit weak spots, back up a little bit. Hitboxes in Unite are quite wack, so, for example, if you tried hitting the head and you're too close, you'll hit the neck instead, which is not the "sweet spot" of most monsters (you'll know it's a sweet spot when there's more blood splatter and you feel the weight of your attack), resulting in very low damage. This 'sum good content, subbed ^^
It's been more than a decade since I played mhfu and I just came back and frozen dictator is my next quest. I beat kushala many timesbefore but I don't remember how I'm killing it and the gear I'm using
@@HeadHunter455 Tnx, I just beat it. Used khezu shock sword on 1st round then garuga lance on 2nd. drive.google.com/file/d/10a4Ra5a8c61omDzl8TggBrLkTOZUNrgY/view?usp=sharing
I thought I was getting better at monster hunter. I watched the whole video. I read the faq over and over. I just can't seem to even get close to beating him. I get hit by his ice beam over and over. I can't do anything when he's in his wind cloat. I poisoned him and then i died. I came back and poison was gone. I missed 8/10 of my flashes. I've been grinding for the last 2 days to get gear and items for him and tigrex but it ended up being a pathetic 5 minute fight that i lost. Khezu was hard and took me 7 tries but at least i got somewhere so i knew i could win.Idk man i honestly just wanna cry.
Oof, well, the game is not easy! >.< A lot of dumb people will make the game out like it's really easy but it's just not, it's tough. Playing the game in general takes a lot of practice, each monster has their own things to look out for, and you'll get better over time, also some weapon types vs some monsters are easier or harder than others. The wind aura is difficult to deal with if you can't reliably hit his head from outside of it, which is a big reason I use the Great Sword. Poison is pretty short lived, unfortunately :( Using a poison weapon can have him poisoned more reliably, but they usually do less damage than weapons of similar power, and the amount of hits it takes to poison him will go up each time you poison him. If you're able to knock him down, it'll deactivate the aura temporarily. I know this is kinda retreading stuff from the video, hopefully that's not too annoying. I'm assuming you're fighting him in the village quests, but just in case, if you're in the guild hall, remember they have more health and might even deal more damage. All I can say is try and use the gear I'm using in the video (or better, if you can) I highly recommend a strong raw Greatsword, using poison in solo isn't really practical, unfortunately. Upgrade your armor, practice using flash bombs (they're tricky tbh) It's okay to fail, it's not okay to give up. Take a break if you need to, you can do it! Take your time, you'll get better!
Hey thanks man. I really look up to you and it means a lot to me that you personally took the time to type all of that for me. I am using ravager blade + because it has high raw and I'm using garunga armour set with health +20 and earplugs It's elder **** star quest. Btw while i have your attention, you recommend many weapons or armour pieces that aren't as easy to find. For example monster bone + is extremely hard to find in low rank because none of the monsters who usually drop it ,do in low rank. I have all garunga pieces except the vambraces and i can't get blue claw because correct me if I'm wrong it also requires monster bone +. I read that u need to be village level 4 or higher or farm it in hr3 but it's been kinda rare for me in there too. I still haven't found anything and it's made me give up on monster bone + for now until i start farming tig.
Also from personal experience i think i have gotten a bit better at evading (when I'm not greedy XD) but my biggest issue is aiming. I miss my gs and ls hits so much and it's pretty sad. I was wondering if you could maybe do a aiming tutorial or something idk because i feel like I'm missing something big that I don't notice in gameplay videos. Lastly do you maybe have a discord i can join lol
damn dawg its been 2 years. cannot believe i stopped monster hunter here at kushala (well actually controller broke). just finished the 2nd quest to slay him. genuinely wasnt that difficult (tigrex was harder but we farmed him) just needed more practice and focus. haha we did it :)
So thats why i try to trap him it didn't work, he's an elder.. no wonder, already trying to gave up but after a long exhausted hand he fled.. thanks for the tips , your awesome
😉 I'll be covering Lunastra, I dunno if Teostra is much different? Like, I know he is, but I dunno how much. But I can maybe make a video covering him and/or the differences between them sometime as well 🙂
Wow u use cean gs mr...but i must use titernin to repell him.The damn wind armor monster.ha ha but i make injure him Twice..GO ON MR WE WAITING FOR NEXT SUPERB TIPS
Hey, you beat Khezu, you can beat Kushala! 😁 Tbh Kushala and Teostra are similar, you kinda spend the whole fight hitting his head to try and topple him, then when he's toppled, try and damage his head more to make it easier to do it again, rinse and repeat. Also, Kushala is an optional monster, unlike Khezu, so there's always that 😄
Yep, I actually just made a video about another monster that also gets repelled at around 25 minutes, it's useful to know about if you're not able to kill it in one go, and some monsters, especially in the guild hall, it's unlikely that you can kill it in one round, and that's okay :) I'm glad you learned something! Good luck :) Thanks for watching 😊
I repelled him twice then killed him on the third hunt. It was a very hectic first fight against him lol, I thought using a greatsword with not a lot of attack compared to the crab gs would be ok and the fact I really didn't start of the fight well really fucked up the rest of the hunt.
I watched the video and then skip on the Monster Cutscene cause I want to see it on the game, and then I was confused when he fly away, and then I watch this video again and I missed the caption on the cutscene🤦♂️🤦♂️
😅😅 Hey that's alright, unfortunately I try to keep things as organized and well paced as possible, but sometimes things can be missed, particularly if you skip around, which is totally fine to do! I have timestamps for a reason :P Even if not though sometimes I mention things that are important like once or twice >.< not having my voice recorded doesn't quite help, ah well I'm glad you were able to find that though, good luck on your future hunts, thanks for watching! 😄
Oof! lol Elder Dragons are tough, for sure! But they're not invincible. I avoid fighting and farming them for this series as they are optional and I don't want to expect players to deal with that if they don't want to, but feel free to keep trying, their gear is pretty neat.
Thanks, uh, not really, I think you'll have a much better time of it if you break his head first and/or get dragon wind resistance. Devil Slicer's a good weapon, you can check this guide for info on what weapons you can get throughout the game. gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283
This helped a lot my man! But I can't cut his tail and head. He's too fast for me! And that gust of wind really ticks me off! Btw I'm playing it on PPSSPP emulator so it's a little hard because sometimes the buttons freeze especially in my right dpad so I go round and round.
Glad to hear it, I might eventually make a video talking about how to break/cut a few parts but I'm not too sure about it right now. Good luck though! If you can break his head, it should stop his wind aura, then you should have an easier time getting to his tail.
@@HeadHunter455 I just did it man! At the quest "The elder dragon of wind", but still, I'm not doing much damage, but I broke something in his head, because he wasn't able to use the wind gust anymore. Still not doing any damage, cause I can't kill him. He always flee😞 Edit: I also managed to win against Tigrex because of your video! I lost a lot of my potions on my first time but I managed to adapt to his movements when I'm grinding materials from him! Keep up the work fam! Looking forward on you playing MHW or MHGU!
A bit of a correction to information in this video: Dealing damage to a hitzone while a monster is in a non-staggerable state does actually deplete that hitzone's health bar, which counts towards a stagger. The problem is that the bar can be depleted while they're in this state, which causes it to reset to full with no stagger. This is why sometimes it takes more hits after Kushala stands up to fully drain his head's health bar again. There was also a not well-documented mechanic up to I believe Generation 3 where some weapons had special damage modifiers based on what part of the weapon made contact, in the Greatsword's case the center of the sword dealt 5% more damage than the tip. This could theoretically contribute to the problem. More info on staggers on the reddit thread "How Stagger values work, the "kinda-busting."" More info on the special damage modifier on the MHFU gamefaqs thread "Melee Damage FAQ (PSP) by _DS31" under the section "3e: Class Variables [VAR]" I tried to post the links 3 times but I guess youtube doesn't allow that anymore as it kept auto-deleting my comment lol
Yeah, you can use one of the HP Display cheats to see the exact stagger limits of the monster. If you go over the stagger limit while a monster isn't able to be staggered, it will reset, which is honestly such bullshit. I understand the devs probably wanted to combat head locking, but it can feel really inconsistent and sometimes unfair, and people who want to abuse the system will always find a way to do it, regardless of how they tried to "fix" it. A monster can't be staggered most notably while they're already staggering, or toppled over. If you watch my Teostra video I actually basically head lock him by spacing out attacks and counting my hits, and with these elder dragons you kind of need to consistently be able to topple them by hitting their heads, especially Teostra if you're not using Dragon element, Kushala's head can be broken without any dragon damage so it's not *that* big of a deal there. On top of that, some stagger limits seem to be shared by different body parts, but the stagger animation is not the same. Kushala and Teostra seem to have their necks build up the stagger for the head, but if you land the staggering hit on their neck, they'll only do a flinch, and wont be toppled over, add to this that the hitboxes for some monsters are apparently *very* bad (just look at where you need to aim with a hammer to see where their head is located) and it makes things feel pretty wack sometimes. The 5% damage buff may not even be real honestly, I've never seen its effects personally, but I've also never gone out of my way to find it. Also, I'd say it's a pretty damn well documented mechanic if it's in the main FAQ that everyone uses to learn the damage calculation lol. I can only assume it's a real thing, but I literally never account for it when I do calculations or give advice to people. There is also a yellow sharpness modifier that makes all weapons worse based on where in the animation the weapon connects, but that's about as much as I can tell, and not terribly relevant beyond "never ever stay in yellow sharpness if you can help it" Also, I don't allow others to post links in my videos here, sorry about that. Helps deal with spammers and other things.
@@HeadHunter455 Yeah I've been kind of annoyed by the stagger system ever since I discovered the details using an HP display mod in Iceborne for Safi'jiva's dumb mechanics, it feels pretty lame for players who aren't trying to play super optimally but it also seems like it could make locks even easier in a controlled environment where you know EXACTLY what you're doing which kinda defeats the point I think. It's made me a better player when it comes to stuff like breaking Lao-Shan's head to stop his attacks, but at the same time I kinda wish I didn't have to worry about "but what if I just barely miss out on another topple?" on regular monsters, like with how Teo apparently alternates between flinches and topples with head staggers in Gen 5 (unsure if it's like this in earlier gens.) With the 5% damage buff I more meant that you don't hear much about it outside of in-depth damage calc like that guide. 5% seems like a decent chunk of damage to me so I would've thought people would spread the word of the close-ranged Greatsword more to the laymen lol. Anyway I figured you'd already be aware of the stuff I posted (especially since it's been 3 years since the upload) but I thought it might be good to have that extra info in the comments here. I appreciate you taking the time to make this whole guide series and discussing it in the comments like this :)
ashamed of myself, couldnt even kill this fella with early HR gear. stupid walking healthbar, i didn't get any charges in though, it was mostly draw > circle attack over and over
i got him again on the second (third technically, since the second just finished him off) run. 25:04 left on the clock. i have no idea if they have the same healthbar or if it has the same run away feature but if so, wew that was close.
Hey, great job! Don't feel too bad about it, you'll get better the more you hunt him. Most monsters are pretty tough at first, but stick with it and things will start making sense sooner or later >.
You can't get yian garuga armor before killing kushala in the 4 stars village quest, right? I'm suffering right now with my blangonga/ceanataur armor, even w/upgrades. The wind aura and roars make this fight so difficult I swear.
@@HeadHunter455 oh my god. I'm both really angry at myself and really relieved. Thank you for telling me that T_T would have literally lost my mind over this guy. Great guide, btw. Even if I can't really fight him right now, I'll definitely come back here for tips on how to slay him once I get the necessary armor.
I mean, Flash Bombs are pretty useful against all monsters that are affected by them, on Akantor it only lasts a few seconds, but it's still useful, some would even recommend it. If it lasts a while, you can use the time to sharpen, but just being able to stop a monster and leave the area is super useful, beyond just attacking it while it's relatively helpless (depending on the monster) Kushala typically specifically spends way too much time in the air, without flash bombs the fight is just unnecessarily longer :/ Same thing with Rathalos.
So I have a question.... If I were to use longsword on kushala what ls should I equip???? I'm about to fight em and I don't really use gs cause it's too slow for my taste ⊙﹏⊙
Haha, that's fair, when I first played SNS felt too weak and GS felt too slow, tbh GS is a pretty fast weapon class once you figure it out, but anyways, this guide is extremely useful for all points in the game and I use it all the time, you should bookmark it: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283 From that guide, assuming you're fighting Kushala in the village elder quests, in 4★, honestly probably Eager Cleaver? You're bound to have one of those as a LS user anyways, it's a good weapon, and Kushala's weak to thunder. Otherwise... The Monoblos Scythe or Black Katana Mk.II I suppose, but I'd just go for the Eager Cleaver.
@@HeadHunter455 haven't really gotten around to figuring out GS cause I'm playing mhfu in my phone via PPSSPP emulator.... And thank u for replying ◉‿◉ your guides have been really helpful in making it easier to play the game
Great MHFU content as always.. though i suggest putting details about monsters weaknesses or something.. anyways this is the best channel of MHFU guide so far
Thanks, I have hitzones listed in the description. These guides are kinda meant to be like "How do you beat this the first time you meet it" which is why I'm using gear that you can only get before fighting it (No tigrex armor while fighting Tigrex for example)

Wind press is a bitch in FU. You need 20 points to be immune to everything, and not all monsters have winds that strong (Teo/Chameleos/Kushala are the ones I can remember that have Dragon Wind). Wind resistance is nice and all, but you shouldn't bother with it unless you have a set to farm an elder dragon. Even if that, only Kushala and maybe Chameleos' WP is annoying

Poison was good for this fight, the poison battle axe helped me beat Kushala as the poison weakened his wind knock back ability, seemed to work better than dragon weapons just for the anti knock back
Nice! Good job! 🙂
17:31 _That sound he made legit made me wheeze_

finally i've been waiting for this guide for YEARS
Haha, I hope it was worth the wait and helps out 😄
The game devs must be extra high when they thought putting an elder dragon at 4 star village quest is a good idea
@BD.211 lmao it is pretty crazy huh, kind of interesting. I wonder why they did that. It seemed to have worked out I think, but, yeah, strange.
@HeadHunter455 right? I mean like why is a hunt 5 shakalaka a 5 star quest but slay an elder dragon a 4 star quest hahah
came back to MHFU after a year now, and I improved a bit. and, now this is my first time reaching Daora. and, man, is he troublesome, he's the first monster that I struggled with this much, lol. (since the start of me coming back, at least.) and so I'm here again, thanks, man.
That's great to hear! Good job! 😄 Daora is pretty tough, for sure, I recommend using Greatsword if you can.
Good luck, you can do this! Thanks for watching 🙂
I am actually a GS main. and, I just killed him earlier, lol. the wind aura's def. the big issue for me. poisoned him though and quickly shattered his head. it is really tough though. but, thanks to you I got 'em.

Great video :D watching you kill daora an be a true “headhunter” XD was super satisfying, thanks for the guide
😉😉 No problem, thanks for watching! 😄
This is perfect! I was just about to kill Kushala as my last 3 star quest
🙂 I hope it helps 😄
@@HeadHunter455 is it normal to get star struck by a smaller TH-cam channel O-O
This ones a pretty serious guide. Well I guess that’s to be expected for an elder dragon. Although I find Kushala the most easiest and the most fun elder dragon to battle tho :v
Yep, Kushala can be pretty rough, since it is the first available Elder Dragon, hopefully this video helps people if they were having trouble with him.
@@HeadHunter455 But I actually havent beated Teostra and Lunastra just yet cuz I wanted to use lao shan weapon on them lmao so really waiting for your lao shan guide here :)
God I love Kushala Daora, such a fun fight when you gave a good build and know his moveset. I can't wait to emulate MHFU on PC and fight him here as well.
🙂
Never played MHFU but ive really been enjoying your videos as a sort of "look back" to older, jankier Monster Hunter. Its made me wanna play MHFU myself honestly.
Lol crazy I went back to playing this on my iPhone. It makes me happy to see this video is only 2 weeks old.
🙂🙂
Great guide mate! Also another attack of his is a an aerial back hop followed by an air bullet. It has no anticipation and can be a surprise when fighting him.
Thanks :) That might be a High/G rank move, I dunno.
Can't wait,this guy is a pain,I'll just beat urgent tigrex them comeback with tigrex gear
Definitely, the armor I use in the video is Garuga Mask, and the rest is Tigrex, you get Earplugs which is very useful.
Wait you dont have to beat daora to get to tigrex?
@@XohjaiSbarkeater everything besides that quest
This is extra useful since its gonna be my first time fighting an elder dragon
Good luck! 🙂
@@HeadHunter455 thanks I have bested it but it fled , I'm now pursuing to a nearby island
Is it possible to kill this bastard during first encounter? This guy was so infuriating to fight against, his head is so annoying to hit because of constant flailing and claw attacks when flashed, the wind barrier in general was a total ass and if you haven't managed to stagger or break the head as the poison fades away then it activates the barrier all over again(sometimes, even earlier than expected). Seriously, if it weren't for this guide then i wouldn't be able to fight against this guy. The amount of HP was absurd, i even had a Rathalos armor set + Diablos Greatsword just to make sure i can kill him in one try but at best i just managed to make it flee. It's amazing that you managed to clear it with that equipment.
Yes.
If you're not using a long enough weapon to hit his head and/or can't poison him consistently, then yeah it's going to be an awful time honestly :(
I've fought him with LS with some success as well. (the nekoht one in particular with the g-rank moveset)
I'm glad I was hopefully able to help you out :) Even if Kushala has the wind aura, you can technically hit his head without being blown back, but it takes pretty good positioning and isn't possible with weapons that are too short.
The HP value is high, but that's kinda because they expect you to fight him multiple times, and because it's an Elder Dragon. With some practice and good equipment, I'm sure you'll be able to clear him in one run 🙂
Wew,childhood game.Didnt know it was like this lol,I was so frustrated when I couldnt beat Tigrex when I finally did it,couldnt beat kushala daora and I retired.
Big mood. Yeah I wanted to go through and talk about the mechanics of each fight, to hopefully help out people like how I wanted help when I first played it lol
just started to play few months ago and currently hunting this monster as my first elder dragon your guides are a lot of help as a new hunter :)
That's great! :D
I'm glad it's helpful 😊😊😊
Once again Hunter nice vid. I personally think there's no overkill here I mean it's better to be prepared right also can I point out that you are extremely lucky for sharpening and not getting hit.
Thanks! Yeah definitely, rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
lmao I get lucky sometimes, since the fight goes on for so long, I tend to make mistakes sometimes for sure :P
HAHAHA kushala IS SO EASY NOW. managed to kill it in the jungle and i did not expect it to die i thought it was a repel quest like here. man, you really help me a lot and thanks to you i finally got my tormentor!!
Nice! :D
Good job! 😄😄
Hi fellow hunter! newly subbed here thank you so much for committing your time and knowledge of my favorite childhood game to give us really practical and helpful guides to work our way up to the higher ranks and tougher monsters 👍 its all due to your guide i nailed my first encounter with the Kushala decades after i last hunted him and against my initial assumption it was a total BLAST. idk why i ever tarried that much to fight him lol. LR Tigrex hunting horn and Lunastra/Tigrex armor set and staggering him like a madlad as often as manageable through the openings you pointed out was even more fun and a piece of cake that i thought. now i'm more than prepared for Lao-shan and the rest of that sheer HR suffering later lmao this channel is a blessing thanks again man keep this up
Hey, thanks for the sub! I'm really glad you like my videos 😄
I've been trying to make videos that would've helped me when i was younger trying to get through the game haha
Great job with Kushala!! I'll definitely keep working on videos as I'm able to, thanks for watching! 🙂
Love your videos dude, I know I'm late to the party but these are really helping me out, thanks for showing all aspects of the fight and preparation, the edits are hilarious too!
Hey thanks!! The idea that people will find my videos even after I've moved on makes me more inspired to work on them 😅

Thanks! 😄😄 I'm glad you found me 😅😅
Whoah!
Elder Dragon incoming!
Me a lance and Sword and shield main. I'm preparing everything i can for this!!
Longsword sucks too :( only 5 knives and I missed 3 of them
Kushy-kun:Noooo,you cant just flash to stop my attack!! Me:Haha flashbang go wooo-*flashbang only last a while* chuckles,im in danger. Joke aside,as long u use sns to block the attack with thunder element,everything is a walk in the park.Inmycase however.
lol I dunno how I'd feel about using SNS against Kushala.
man this is my first elder dragon,i got afraid when i start the mission,glad i watch your video before,i can keeping up with him at least
I'm glad it's helped! :) I remember every new monster I fought was pretty scary, I didn't know what to expect going in.
You can only fight a monster for the first time once ;P
Im really glad i found one of your videos. This makes me wanna get a psp and play mhfu and portable 3rd xD
Hey! I'm really glad you found one of my videos too 😊😊
Well, if you can't get a PSP (I should get one one of these days for sure >.
this fight is preety fun on mhfu, thanks for the guide!
Yeah I like it in MHFU :D
No problem I hope it helped or was entertaining :)

And yeah Switch Axe, Insect Glaive, and Charge Blade aren't in MHFU.
@@HeadHunter455 bro you know i just started playing mhp3rd so i am really in in switchaxe so i want a guide i do really good in sword/phial mode but axe mode is hard so need help 😊😉
@@zed499 Good choice, swaxe is fun. Save axe mode for whenever you can't reach a tail, or when a monster is down so you can spend all your stamina (I don't know the exact numbers for the infinite swing [Triangle + Circle -> Circle to begin the infinite] and if it's better than sword mode'd damage output). Besides that, sword will always trump axe in terms of damage, blame capcom for making the sword so good.

@@HeadHunter455 in g rank you can found rusted kushala actually worth material and armor set rust kushala actually good
Nice guide. It a bit weird to see an elder dragon this early after you just got done fighting tiggy but that mhfu for you. Weird ass quest line ups. The only thing I really would've added is the showing of getting of lvl 3 charges in between his wind blasts but the timing is really tight.
Thanks 🙂
Yeah! If you look at the quest lines for the games things tend to escalate a bit rapidly, when I was first playing the game it took me so long for each monster, it was an adventure, a journey, now when I play I'm like "Oh shit, I'm at Tigrex already?" lol, I guess they wanted to (and imo did) strike a balance between slow enough for new players but fast enough for veterans to get to the late game pretty quickly if they wanted. Especially in the guild hall.
Watching your videos inspired me to finally check out Freedom unite! I played a bit of the iso port but just couldn't get past those controls. I'm new to ppsspp so I was wondering what Graphic's setting you'd recommend. If any at all
It's a really good game! 🙂
I'd say go into game and start changing settings to see what they do, if you're on pc you can change the settings while the game is running from the top of the window, "Game settings>Rendering resolution" etc.
I have mine set to 3x rendering resolution, 3x texture scaling, and Supersampling AA as the Postprocessing shader.
I think those will do the most, but feel free to tweak those and mess with other things as well.
Thanks for the guide headhunter❤
Hey np, thanks for watching! Good luck! 😄
My butt hurts with 1complete set of ice monkey suit hitting him😂😂
oof lol
I'm more better at using bows than swords n I remember in my first encounter how I was mad cause he just froze me with his breath n also my arrows deflected back at me. After 2 or 3 trials I finally learned to hit in his head or tail n whenever he tries to fly just use the flash to bring him back on the ground n then use the poison arrows n some other powered up arrows n then finally defeated him.
lol yeah, someone wanted me to fight Kushala with a bow, that'll be live a little after this video goes live on friday :)
Same. As a beginner, I thought the norm was using ranged for kushala but didn't realize wind negate and earplugs were a thing. Now I'm just cringing at my younger self raging about it.
Yeah i want to see a bow guide for kushala too. Thanks man's. Great help
thats that good kush OWO
🥴🥴
I love this game . En mi opinión MHFU es el pinaculo de los juegos de MH ninguno te hace sentir la presión y la responsabilidad de tener tanto tus habilidades como tu equipo y objetos.aun con las inconveniencias y mecanicas lentas y fastidiosas es un juego demaxiado completo
Yeah it's a good game.
I once farmed this grumpy old man's item using only a Rathalos Armor and Wyvern Blade Fire. Was a good achievement because i had to fight him for 20 times to get his horns and tails
Nice! Good job! 😄
He's got some good equipment.
You know, there is something i have been wondering
Which type of way to determine what weapon is good at dealing damage on monsters?
The raw damage, The sharpness, or The element?
Because some weapons are good because of their raw damage for killing Low rank and High rank but low sharpness(Example Akantor weapons)
But some weapons are good because they have high sharpness(Example Copper Blagonga and Nargacuga weapons)
Now at least i understand Gunner weapons just need at least a high attack stat, good elemental damage for bow, a good charge attack for bow, bullets LBG and HBG can use and rapid fire bullets LBG can use
hunstermonter.net/damagecalc.php There's calculations and a calculator for this.
I also made a spreadsheet that shows the raw ATP values, taking into consideration sharpness and affinity.
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gdsPkS4uFCgB1qlsTfDKvVqTy6AgEN-q5xMzfCga3Qg/edit#gid=1783461049
It shows some interesting things, such as one common misconception that the tigrex weapons aren't good because of their negative affinity. It's really not that bad, and they're usually just fine.
And also, just in case, here's a weapon guide that I use constantly, it'll tell you a lot about weapon selection and such as well. gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283
@@HeadHunter455 Wow, thanks
Really appreciate it
This mf is why I discovered the flash-lgbomb+ cheese when I was 11
Hey, if it works it works! 😄
Yes I need this soooo badly bro. Gracias
I hope it helps! 😄
Great guide! To be honest I never thought there will still be guide videos about Unite in 2020 but here we are lmao
A tip to starters from a fellow Unite veteran:
When using big weapons like greatswords or hammers to hit weak spots, back up a little bit. Hitboxes in Unite are quite wack, so, for example, if you tried hitting the head and you're too close, you'll hit the neck instead, which is not the "sweet spot" of most monsters (you'll know it's a sweet spot when there's more blood splatter and you feel the weight of your attack), resulting in very low damage.
This 'sum good content, subbed ^^
thanks :)
It's been more than a decade since I played mhfu and I just came back and frozen dictator is my next quest. I beat kushala many timesbefore but I don't remember how I'm killing it and the gear I'm using
Good luck! 🙂
@@HeadHunter455 Tnx, I just beat it. Used khezu shock sword on 1st round then garuga lance on 2nd.

Nice :D I try to do them weekly, so 😄
Oh boy, this is gonna take a while with my gunlace
oof, you can do it!!!
@@HeadHunter455 I completed the mission but he fled, what does that mean?
I thought I was getting better at monster hunter. I watched the whole video. I read the faq over and over. I just can't seem to even get close to beating him. I get hit by his ice beam over and over. I can't do anything when he's in his wind cloat. I poisoned him and then i died. I came back and poison was gone. I missed 8/10 of my flashes. I've been grinding for the last 2 days to get gear and items for him and tigrex but it ended up being a pathetic 5 minute fight that i lost. Khezu was hard and took me 7 tries but at least i got somewhere so i knew i could win.Idk man i honestly just wanna cry.
Oof, well, the game is not easy! >.<
A lot of dumb people will make the game out like it's really easy but it's just not, it's tough.
Playing the game in general takes a lot of practice, each monster has their own things to look out for, and you'll get better over time, also some weapon types vs some monsters are easier or harder than others.
The wind aura is difficult to deal with if you can't reliably hit his head from outside of it, which is a big reason I use the Great Sword. Poison is pretty short lived, unfortunately :( Using a poison weapon can have him poisoned more reliably, but they usually do less damage than weapons of similar power, and the amount of hits it takes to poison him will go up each time you poison him. If you're able to knock him down, it'll deactivate the aura temporarily. I know this is kinda retreading stuff from the video, hopefully that's not too annoying. I'm assuming you're fighting him in the village quests, but just in case, if you're in the guild hall, remember they have more health and might even deal more damage.
All I can say is try and use the gear I'm using in the video (or better, if you can) I highly recommend a strong raw Greatsword, using poison in solo isn't really practical, unfortunately.
Upgrade your armor, practice using flash bombs (they're tricky tbh)
It's okay to fail, it's not okay to give up. Take a break if you need to, you can do it! Take your time, you'll get better!
Hey thanks man. I really look up to you and it means a lot to me that you personally took the time to type all of that for me. I am using ravager blade + because it has high raw and I'm using garunga armour set with health +20 and earplugs
It's elder **** star quest.
Btw while i have your attention, you recommend many weapons or armour pieces that aren't as easy to find. For example monster bone + is extremely hard to find in low rank because none of the monsters who usually drop it ,do in low rank. I have all garunga pieces except the vambraces and i can't get blue claw because correct me if I'm wrong it also requires monster bone +. I read that u need to be village level 4 or higher or farm it in hr3 but it's been kinda rare for me in there too. I still haven't found anything and it's made me give up on monster bone + for now until i start farming tig.
Also from personal experience i think i have gotten a bit better at evading (when I'm not greedy XD) but my biggest issue is aiming. I miss my gs and ls hits so much and it's pretty sad. I was wondering if you could maybe do a aiming tutorial or something idk because i feel like I'm missing something big that I don't notice in gameplay videos.
Lastly do you maybe have a discord i can join lol
damn dawg its been 2 years. cannot believe i stopped monster hunter here at kushala (well actually controller broke). just finished the 2nd quest to slay him. genuinely wasnt that difficult (tigrex was harder but we farmed him) just needed more practice and focus. haha we did it :)
So thats why i try to trap him it didn't work, he's an elder.. no wonder, already trying to gave up but after a long exhausted hand he fled.. thanks for the tips , your awesome
Yep! Elder dragons can't be trapped or captured >.<
I'm glad you like my video, thanks for watching! 🙂
Waiting for teostra guide XD, having a hard time to cut his tail

Kushala is literally the fly of monster hunter
He really do kinda be up in the air tho
The first time I have problem with khezu. Now, it’s him. He is die hard~~😢😢😢😢
Hey, you beat Khezu, you can beat Kushala! 😁
Tbh Kushala and Teostra are similar, you kinda spend the whole fight hitting his head to try and topple him, then when he's toppled, try and damage his head more to make it easier to do it again, rinse and repeat.
Also, Kushala is an optional monster, unlike Khezu, so there's always that 😄
@@HeadHunter455 Your content is always helpful to me. I'm not good at this game but I love it. Can't stop playing 🥰

Finally a kushala daora guide YES!!!!!!!!!
🙂
This monster began my love for HH sakura bell for the wind negate
It can definitely help I guess
Whoa it takes 25min!? Wow now i've learn something how to defeat that elder dragon
Yep, I actually just made a video about another monster that also gets repelled at around 25 minutes, it's useful to know about if you're not able to kill it in one go, and some monsters, especially in the guild hall, it's unlikely that you can kill it in one round, and that's okay :)
I'm glad you learned something! Good luck :) Thanks for watching 😊
I repelled him twice then killed him on the third hunt. It was a very hectic first fight against him lol, I thought using a greatsword with not a lot of attack compared to the crab gs would be ok and the fact I really didn't start of the fight well really fucked up the rest of the hunt.
I watched the video and then skip on the Monster Cutscene cause I want to see it on the game, and then I was confused when he fly away, and then I watch this video again and I missed the caption on the cutscene🤦♂️🤦♂️
😅😅 Hey that's alright, unfortunately I try to keep things as organized and well paced as possible, but sometimes things can be missed, particularly if you skip around, which is totally fine to do! I have timestamps for a reason :P
Even if not though sometimes I mention things that are important like once or twice >.< not having my voice recorded doesn't quite help, ah well
I'm glad you were able to find that though, good luck on your future hunts, thanks for watching! 😄
this one is hard, he's not dying.
I don't wanna fight elder dragons again
Oof! lol
Elder Dragons are tough, for sure! But they're not invincible.
I avoid fighting and farming them for this series as they are optional and I don't want to expect players to deal with that if they don't want to, but feel free to keep trying, their gear is pretty neat.
i need to watch this for me to make my tormentor long sword i alraedy have the black diablos parts and the thing left is elder dragon bone
I feel bad for wyvern when I watch your videos 🤣
😅
Time to face this Yasuo Dragon...
😅
Nice guide. Any tips on cutting the tail? Also is devil slicer a decent match against Kushala?
Thanks, uh, not really, I think you'll have a much better time of it if you break his head first and/or get dragon wind resistance. Devil Slicer's a good weapon, you can check this guide for info on what weapons you can get throughout the game.
gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283
your mhfu gide movei..awsome!! good..sry i was watch..only2 movei..haha..but..nice.i will tell some mhfu friends..(im japanese hunter mrin..)
This helped a lot my man! But I can't cut his tail and head. He's too fast for me! And that gust of wind really ticks me off! Btw I'm playing it on PPSSPP emulator so it's a little hard because sometimes the buttons freeze especially in my right dpad so I go round and round.
Glad to hear it, I might eventually make a video talking about how to break/cut a few parts but I'm not too sure about it right now. Good luck though! If you can break his head, it should stop his wind aura, then you should have an easier time getting to his tail.
@@HeadHunter455 I just did it man! At the quest "The elder dragon of wind", but still, I'm not doing much damage, but I broke something in his head, because he wasn't able to use the wind gust anymore. Still not doing any damage, cause I can't kill him. He always flee😞
Edit: I also managed to win against Tigrex because of your video! I lost a lot of my potions on my first time but I managed to adapt to his movements when I'm grinding materials from him! Keep up the work fam! Looking forward on you playing MHW or MHGU!
Are you planing to make a Fatalis guide?
Eventually, probably.
A bit of a correction to information in this video:
Dealing damage to a hitzone while a monster is in a non-staggerable state does actually deplete that hitzone's health bar, which counts towards a stagger. The problem is that the bar can be depleted while they're in this state, which causes it to reset to full with no stagger. This is why sometimes it takes more hits after Kushala stands up to fully drain his head's health bar again.
There was also a not well-documented mechanic up to I believe Generation 3 where some weapons had special damage modifiers based on what part of the weapon made contact, in the Greatsword's case the center of the sword dealt 5% more damage than the tip. This could theoretically contribute to the problem.
More info on staggers on the reddit thread "How Stagger values work, the "kinda-busting.""
More info on the special damage modifier on the MHFU gamefaqs thread "Melee Damage FAQ (PSP) by _DS31" under the section "3e: Class Variables [VAR]"
I tried to post the links 3 times but I guess youtube doesn't allow that anymore as it kept auto-deleting my comment lol
Yeah, you can use one of the HP Display cheats to see the exact stagger limits of the monster.
If you go over the stagger limit while a monster isn't able to be staggered, it will reset, which is honestly such bullshit. I understand the devs probably wanted to combat head locking, but it can feel really inconsistent and sometimes unfair, and people who want to abuse the system will always find a way to do it, regardless of how they tried to "fix" it. A monster can't be staggered most notably while they're already staggering, or toppled over. If you watch my Teostra video I actually basically head lock him by spacing out attacks and counting my hits, and with these elder dragons you kind of need to consistently be able to topple them by hitting their heads, especially Teostra if you're not using Dragon element, Kushala's head can be broken without any dragon damage so it's not *that* big of a deal there.
On top of that, some stagger limits seem to be shared by different body parts, but the stagger animation is not the same. Kushala and Teostra seem to have their necks build up the stagger for the head, but if you land the staggering hit on their neck, they'll only do a flinch, and wont be toppled over, add to this that the hitboxes for some monsters are apparently *very* bad (just look at where you need to aim with a hammer to see where their head is located) and it makes things feel pretty wack sometimes.
The 5% damage buff may not even be real honestly, I've never seen its effects personally, but I've also never gone out of my way to find it. Also, I'd say it's a pretty damn well documented mechanic if it's in the main FAQ that everyone uses to learn the damage calculation lol. I can only assume it's a real thing, but I literally never account for it when I do calculations or give advice to people.
There is also a yellow sharpness modifier that makes all weapons worse based on where in the animation the weapon connects, but that's about as much as I can tell, and not terribly relevant beyond "never ever stay in yellow sharpness if you can help it"
Also, I don't allow others to post links in my videos here, sorry about that. Helps deal with spammers and other things.
@@HeadHunter455 Yeah I've been kind of annoyed by the stagger system ever since I discovered the details using an HP display mod in Iceborne for Safi'jiva's dumb mechanics, it feels pretty lame for players who aren't trying to play super optimally but it also seems like it could make locks even easier in a controlled environment where you know EXACTLY what you're doing which kinda defeats the point I think. It's made me a better player when it comes to stuff like breaking Lao-Shan's head to stop his attacks, but at the same time I kinda wish I didn't have to worry about "but what if I just barely miss out on another topple?" on regular monsters, like with how Teo apparently alternates between flinches and topples with head staggers in Gen 5 (unsure if it's like this in earlier gens.)
With the 5% damage buff I more meant that you don't hear much about it outside of in-depth damage calc like that guide. 5% seems like a decent chunk of damage to me so I would've thought people would spread the word of the close-ranged Greatsword more to the laymen lol.
Anyway I figured you'd already be aware of the stuff I posted (especially since it's been 3 years since the upload) but I thought it might be good to have that extra info in the comments here. I appreciate you taking the time to make this whole guide series and discussing it in the comments like this :)
ashamed of myself, couldnt even kill this fella with early HR gear.
stupid walking healthbar, i didn't get any charges in though, it was mostly draw > circle attack over and over
i got him again on the second (third technically, since the second just finished him off) run. 25:04 left on the clock. i have no idea if they have the same healthbar or if it has the same run away feature but if so, wew that was close.
Hey, great job! Don't feel too bad about it, you'll get better the more you hunt him. Most monsters are pretty tough at first, but stick with it and things will start making sense sooner or later >.
You can't get yian garuga armor before killing kushala in the 4 stars village quest, right? I'm suffering right now with my blangonga/ceanataur armor, even w/upgrades. The wind aura and roars make this fight so difficult I swear.
Kushala Daora is an optional fight, Yian Garuga unlocks in 4 star as long as you've slain at least 10 yian kut-ku
@@HeadHunter455 oh my god. I'm both really angry at myself and really relieved. Thank you for telling me that T_T would have literally lost my mind over this guy. Great guide, btw. Even if I can't really fight him right now, I'll definitely come back here for tips on how to slay him once I get the necessary armor.
Spirit🔥🔥... I like your content
Thanks! 😊
Thanks for the guide
No problem! I hope it helps in some way.
Wow, you have to farm Flashbugs just for this huh?
I guess the Tigrex fight uses Flash Bombs as well.
I mean, Flash Bombs are pretty useful against all monsters that are affected by them, on Akantor it only lasts a few seconds, but it's still useful, some would even recommend it.
If it lasts a while, you can use the time to sharpen, but just being able to stop a monster and leave the area is super useful, beyond just attacking it while it's relatively helpless (depending on the monster)
Kushala typically specifically spends way too much time in the air, without flash bombs the fight is just unnecessarily longer :/ Same thing with Rathalos.
Wow 😱this a slay why only injured i do

Oof! Yeah, that'll happen, just keep it up! Restock, eat food, and hunt him down until you finally get him! 😄
You got this!!
So I have a question.... If I were to use longsword on kushala what ls should I equip???? I'm about to fight em and I don't really use gs cause it's too slow for my taste ⊙﹏⊙
Haha, that's fair, when I first played SNS felt too weak and GS felt too slow, tbh GS is a pretty fast weapon class once you figure it out, but anyways, this guide is extremely useful for all points in the game and I use it all the time, you should bookmark it: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283
From that guide, assuming you're fighting Kushala in the village elder quests, in 4★, honestly probably Eager Cleaver? You're bound to have one of those as a LS user anyways, it's a good weapon, and Kushala's weak to thunder. Otherwise... The Monoblos Scythe or Black Katana Mk.II I suppose, but I'd just go for the Eager Cleaver.
@@HeadHunter455 haven't really gotten around to figuring out GS cause I'm playing mhfu in my phone via PPSSPP emulator.... And thank u for replying ◉‿◉ your guides have been really helpful in making it easier to play the game
YES ! 😆 their wind press so annoying
😉
Kudshala is sooooo harrrddd like my
😳🔨
Great MHFU content as always.. though i suggest putting details about monsters weaknesses or something.. anyways this is the best channel of MHFU guide so far
Thanks, I have hitzones listed in the description. These guides are kinda meant to be like "How do you beat this the first time you meet it" which is why I'm using gear that you can only get before fighting it (No tigrex armor while fighting Tigrex for example)
@@HeadHunter455 oh i see.. well thanks for your efforts
