Characteristics
A fanged wyvern that flies among the treetops. Its penchant to brush against the ground and the trees as it moves around builds up static electricity within its fur.

How to Beat Tobi-Kadachi

Tobi-Kadachi Tips
Bring Water Element Weapons Bring Nulberries Recognize Tobi-Kadachi's Charged State Use Target Camera to Follow Tobi-Kadachi Prioritize Breaking Its Head, Back, and Tail Anticipate Its Gliding Attacks Knock Tobi-Kadachi Off Trees and Rocks

Bring Water Element Weapons

Tobi-Kadachi is most vulnerable to the Water element. Bring a weapon with this particular element to take advantage of its weaknesses and make the fight less challenging.

Keep Nulberries on Hand

Tobi-Kadachi can inflict Thunderblight during its Charged State, which makes hunters more susceptible to stuns.

You can negate this deadly status with a Nulberry, so always bring a stack of them into the hunt! In addition, remember to check your base camp's Supply Box for any free Nulberries.

Recognize Tobi-Kadachi's Charged State

Tobi-Kadachi builds up electricity in its scales which eventually leads into a fully Charged State. Below are the notable changes to Tobi-Kadachi during this state:

• Tobi-Kadachi's Lunging, Tail, Gliding, and Scale Shot attacks inflict Thunderblight during its Charged State, making you more vulnerable to stuns.
• Tobi-Kadachi's attacks deal more damage and are generally faster during this state.

Use Target Camera to Follow Tobi-Kadachi

Tobi-Kadachi's strongest weapon is its speed. Consider using the Target Camera to quickly regain vision of Tobi-Kadachi whenever it attempts to flank you!

Prioritize Breaking Its Head, Back, and Tail

Breaking Tobi-Kadachi's head, back, and tail significantly reduces the potency and effectiveness of its Charged State, making the fight a lot easier!

Anticipate Its Gliding Attacks

Tobi-Kadachi's Gliding Attacks may seem difficult to avoid at first, but they are actually easy to dodge!

The key to avoiding these attacks lies in Tobi-Kadachi's movements in the air — Read on to know more:

How to Dodge Gliding Tail Slam
Wait for Tobi-Kadachi to hover for a split second, as this indicates that it has locked on to your position. Once it curls up, you should evade sideways or to the front to avoid the follow-up Tail Slam.

How to Dodge Descending Tail Sweep
Keep moving with eyes locked towards Tobi-Kadachi's temporary flight. The key to avoiding this attack is identifying its chosen landing spot, indicated by a split-second hover directly above it. The sweep itself has a fairly wide radius, so make sure you are two-to-three steps away from its landing zone to easily dodge the attack.

Knock Tobi-Kadachi Off Trees and Rocks

Tobi-Kadachi can hang on trees and wait for an opportunity to attack via its somersault attack. It is extremely vulnerable in this state and can be knocked down to the ground via heavy damage or by using Flash Bombs.

Tobi-Kadachi Master Rank Attack Patterns

This attack and the accompanying lightning both reach a fairly large area, so don't hesitate to dive-evade out of its way when caught out of position.
Charged Gliding Tail Slam: Tobi-Kadachi glides in the air before slamming its tail on top of the hunter, dealing heavy damage and causing a lightning explosion on impact. This attack comes out quickly and covers a surprising amount of distance with its lightning explosion, so prepare to dodge at the last moment or dive-evade to avoid getting hit.
