Just gonna say it now: Kushala sucks.

Capcom had a good idea to make a metal dragon that controls wind but probably executed it in one of the worse ways possible. One, he's an Elder Dragon. Okay not really a bad thing, just something that means it hits hard. Second it shoots tornadoes that're off screen half the time. Kushala is on the ground after a mount and your charging your level 3 Great Sword or your Switch Axe Elemental Burst or your Charge Blade Ultra Burst and suddenly a tornado comes in outta nowhere and knocks you on the ground as Kush gets up. And then there's the wind barrier. It's hands down the cheapest thing in the game. Yeah Teostra has its flame aura and Chameleos has its poison gas but at they least they don't knock you on your ass just by standing near it. Either bring an armor set with Wind Res Hi, Earplugs, and a Poison weapon or spend about 30 minutes getting knocked over by wind and tornadoes. Kushala's only saving points are its good equipment and decent design.

Don't even get me started on Rusted Kushala. It can go right back to the deepest pit of hell it flew out of.
