One thing to mention is that the % scaling from kushala frostwind skill is: - peak at 10-5 since you get 363 elemental damage bonus. - compared to 8-5, you only get 182 elemental damage bonus. in this regard, ice 5 is more worth it to boost up damage since you get a flat rate of 500 elemental damage bonus which is HUGE at grade 6 but diminishes as you go up grades. to put in perspective: Daora bow at G6-1: Ice damage 238 Kushala frostwind (30%): 71 = 30% ice damage increase Ice attack 5: 500 = 310% ice damage increase Daora bow at G10-5: Ice damage 1210 Kusha frostwind (30%): 363 = 30% ice damage increase Ice attack 5: 500 = 41% ice damage increase
But your placing an unfair advantage by giving it one driftstone. Along with that you still lose out on all the skills I mentioned. Yours is the cheaper option but the difference isn't as big as you say it is if you run the data. Element 4 is the cheaper option for sure, but the margin it beats this build at lower grades isn't as high as you state it is. You lose out at max KF3 and PB1 like I mentioned in the video too.

@KINGOFCHARMANDERS thats a fair assessment 👌 Perhaps along the way i would minmax my build and go ham building the best option. For now im setting up my cheaper option.
I got Sagittarii @6.3 w/1 Frost 4 Ice 3 Focus 1 Wex and can say this thing absolutely shredded a 7* Diablos and helped take an 8* Zin down after 2 people bailed from the hat. I main LS but this thing is great.
I would like to see like a tutorial on how to actually hunt using a bow. I'm building black diablos bow but finding it difficult to know how to use it properly
Yey i got ice attack driftsmelt on my kushala grieves after watching your vid 🎉. Now my total skills: Focus 5 frostwind 3 Ice atk 3 Wex 2 Partb 1 Crit eye 1 Windproof 1
I've been using the regular diablos bow while I grind b blos. One massive difference is with blos bow, you have to charge 2 levels BEFORE you dodge; if you dodge after charging one level, the charge does not continue to go up. With the Kushala bow, obviously that's not the case.
THIS IS TRUE LOL. Although I've killed over 1000 Black Diablos so I was actually looking for one because I've been waiting for this moment to have an ice weapon thats just op and erase her from the map.
Bow is insane. I used the pink rathian bow for dragon and it’s a spread shot. Up until the devil jho at least, so I got good positioning with spread. Was able to duo zinogre 9* and black/regular diablos 9* with a friend. Both of us were at 7 5/5, with the focus 5, 3 piece kushala armor. It only gets stronger when more people in the party are using kushala weapons. The diablos were easy but the zinogres were cutting it close, failed a couple times for some of them. Prob easier with a full kushala team
Would you also make a driftsmelt video for the melee kushala build? What's your opinion on this build? I'll be using it for Dual blades. Coral head - wex driftsmelt Kuhsala chest - ice driftsmelt Barrioth arms - ice dristsmelt Kushala waist - wex Kushala legs - ice driftsmelt It has lock on, wex 5, ice 5, frostwind 3
Its even more impressive that it barely loses to the Elemental 4 Focus 5 cheaper build lol. Elemental 5 used to be the standard for initial builds. But when I researched this one I was like WOAH. Thats closer than I thought lol.
Another great video thanks! Unfortunately, at the rate I play, I can only afford to make the Kushala bow at this stage (and maybe upgrade a few times in G6) - can't afford Kushala armour as well. I guess I'll use the typical ice bow armour build and rely on elemental and focus? i.e. cheap build :)
Practice doesn't make prefect, it makes progression. But that aside lol, it's definitely a weapon worth investing into. I was hoping to get mine to 8.5 before the event ends but daora is refusing to drop them rarity 6 horn now and i wont have time to play this weekend, so I'm stuck at 8.3 for now. Daora bow will give black diablo bow a run for its money.
Actually you misunderstood the line. That's an actual quote my MMA/wrestling coaches told me about. Per Collins Dictionary: If you say ' practice makes perfect', you mean that it is possible to learn something or develop a skill if you practice enough. I've practiced my underhook ankle pick so much and executed it in almost 100+ grappling matches. Its so good I can adapt it in the moment when I feel how strong someone is when they respond to my underhook. That quote is true for anyone who's competed at a high level.
@KINGOFCHARMANDERS but will perfection ever be in this realm of reality? As long as you and learn or develope(progression), perfection is always a never ending reach. But I understand what you mean. Haha. I have been neglecting my d bow and practicing the spread.
Holistically no, but in the case of a singular thing or more yeah its totally possible. Otherwise, undefeated fighter or other professional athletes wouldn't be a thing. For example, Khabib Nurmagomedov was undefeated at the UFC at 29-0 at his retirement. That's a perfect record. Yeah he lost a lot in the gym and practice to turn him into who is he and lost in the world Sambo Championships. But as far as a pro MMA record he was perfect. I definitely need to practice spread more. Thats why I really like how its not like the Blos bow because it lets me develop close range lol.
At lower levels no. But at max yes. But thats only up to 10.1 and the margin of damage isn't as high as you think it is and you lose out on KF3 and PB1. If you want the deeper dive look at my pinned post. 5,096 Focus 5 Kush 3 the best build 4,765 Focus 5 Ice 3 no Kushala gear The difference is 6.5% or 331 damage which is a good amount, but not earth shattering lol.
What's that gps thing you're using so you don't have to physically move yourself? I don't live close to the big gathering points so I have to drive if I want to get to hunt a thons and elder dragon hunts, but I don't want to get a shady software that will most likely get my account banned or not work. I use an Android phone.
@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS There's ones you don't need a joystick and you just tap on the map. I've never seen the map zoomed out that far until now, which was my misunderstanding. I've only been playing a few weeks.
Then you really have little idea of how spoofing works. All you do to make the map zoom out that much is pinch the screen that’s why you listen to the tutorial lol.
@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS That's an incorrect conclusion and I'm not sure how you reached it, as I stated already as well as learning about zooming the map out all the way. I've used a program before on Pokemon Go a long time ago where I selected a map location, hit a button, loaded the game, and I appeared where I picked. There's no need to be condescending.
Its still viable! Look at the data from my pinned post. The E4 F5 build can totally still work for you. But it BARELY beats out this one at lower levels.
Thats a good question..honestly if your going legi bow you mine as well just use Elemental 4 and Focus 5 lol. The difference will show with the Charge Lv. 3 and Damage Lv. 4 comparison.
Grand Theft Poaching lol. That was actually like 3 days of grinding haha. I haven't gone out as much as I can, but I'm going to. My area is pretty good so I don't have to drive far to get a lot of raids in. I'm almost at 50 Kushala Slain.
I finally found it and defeated it while I was out and about, thanks for responding, I was expecting another task to pop up in its place but now I'm just left with dailies I'm assuming another set of tasks will pop up in the next couple days
One Slight correction:

And is worth look for ice atk with driftsmelt? Or is better other thing?
Ty
The best build is the one with 3 Kushala Armor at 3:14
One thing to mention is that the % scaling from kushala frostwind skill is:
- peak at 10-5 since you get 363 elemental damage bonus.
- compared to 8-5, you only get 182 elemental damage bonus.
in this regard, ice 5 is more worth it to boost up damage since you get a flat rate of 500 elemental damage bonus which is HUGE at grade 6 but diminishes as you go up grades.
to put in perspective:
Daora bow at G6-1: Ice damage 238
Kushala frostwind (30%): 71 = 30% ice damage increase
Ice attack 5: 500 = 310% ice damage increase
Daora bow at G10-5: Ice damage 1210
Kusha frostwind (30%): 363 = 30% ice damage increase
Ice attack 5: 500 = 41% ice damage increase

Is kushala frostwind better than using ice attack?
Depends, if you got the resources for the whole thing then yes. If not then ice attack is the best
Also this guy is first
At lower levels no. But at max yes. But thats only up to 10.1 and the margin of damage isn't as high as you think it is and you lose out on KF3 and PB1.
If you want the deeper dive look at my pinned post.

If you have a legiana weapon built. Armor first and If you plan on driftsmelting armor first for sure.

No need wgs, no need item g1-g2 but need A LOT kushulu horn for g8 bow....😂 Its the best build when we try to driftsmelt n get ice attack +5 from it.
The horn drops arent as bad as I thought. But its definitely going to take A LOT TO GET 10.5!
What about barioth chest, kushala gloves, and legi pants? I’m using this only because I don’t want to g8 kushala pieces lol. Think it’s still viable?
Its still viable! Look at the data from my pinned post. The E4 F5 build can totally still work for you. But it BARELY beats out this one at lower levels.
Does Kushala Frostwind and ice damage stack?
They do!
