User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Kushala Daora (5th Gen)/@comment-26989771-20180804133053

Kushala Daora in World is the spawn of Satan. Any redeemable traits Kushala had in previous games are now entirely gone. It’s slight redesign looks bland, I couldn’t care any less for its theme, and if I want Ice equipment I’d rather fight Legiana which is a much better fight.

Speaking of the fight, fighting Kushala is basically like a game of “the floor is lava” instead now it’s “the floor is tornadoes.” The tornadoes it spawns linger around for way too long, to the point it feels like your trapped in a room with walls made of twisters. As usual, poisoning Kushala weakens its wind powers, but it really doesn’t matter because the poison only lasts for like five seconds.

Most of the returning monsters saw an improvement of some sort in World, but Kushala is seemingly the only one who got a downgrade (I guess you can say the same for Lavasioth, but I digress). Doesn’t help considering I was never fond of Kushala to begin with. All in all, Kushala Daora is the worst thing Monster Hunter World has to offer, simple as that.
