Khezu's main weakness is fire, as such fire elemental attacks will deal the most damage and drastically speed up the hunt.
Khezu Fire Weakness |
---|
Khezu's electrical discharge can and will fire off quickly and will knock you out of your combo and potentially stun you. Hunter's should be careful when attacking especially when using weapons that have long animations like the Dual Blades.
Khezu roars a lot and hunters will often find their combos and silkbind attacks suddenly interrupted by a piercing Khezu roar. Bringing the Earplugs skill will help mitigate this and sustain damage.
During a paralyzed state the hunter won't be able to move. Have your Palico or Palamute around to snap you out of paralysis quicker.
In addition to its attacks in Low and High Rank quests, Khezu uses the following attacks in Master Rank.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Electro Breath Barrage | Khezu swings its neck and spews out multiple electric orbs from a distance. |
Extended Neck Swing | Khezu stretches its neck and executes a sweeping attack. |
Improved Electric Breath | Khezu spits five electric orbs that fan out as it travels on the ground. |
Explosive Electric Breath | While latched, Khezu's electric breath attacks explode upon impact. |
Electro Breath Barrage Attack Information |
---|
Electro Breath Barrage: Khezu violently swings its neck and spits out electric orbs which can land far away from its position. To dodge this move, roll towards Khezu's position as the attacks will be landing away from it. |
Extended Neck Swing Attack Information |
---|
Extended Neck Swing: Khezu extends its neck further and uses it to sweep any hunters near it. Khezu will take a moment before fully swinging its neck, so grab the chance to stay away from it before it does the attack. |
Improved Electric Breath Attack Information |
---|
Improved Electric Breath: Khezu's electric breath attack now spawns five electric orbs that fan out. Aim to roll between the incoming orbs to dodge this attack. |
Explosive Electric Breath Attack Information |
---|
Explosive Electric Breath: While latched at any ceiling, Khezu's electric breath attack now explodes upon contact. Khezu will be spewing these orbs one at a time, so simply run away to evade this move. |
Khezu uses the following attacks in Low and High Rank quests.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Neck Swing Attack | An elongated neck attack that has a long range. |
Tail Swipe | Khezu uses its tail to attack. |
Electric Breath | An electric attack from the mouth that rushes on the ground. Causes paralysis. |
Electric Discharge | An area-of-effect charged electric attack. |
Pounce | Khezu jumps up and slams its body onto its target. |
Ceiling Latch | Khezu will jump up and latch on the ceiling and perform a variety of moves. |
Neck Swing Attack Information |
---|
Neck Swing Attack: Khezu can unleash a long-ranged swing attack. Ranged users need to be careful with this attack as its damage is high and the range can be surprising. |
Tail Swipe Attack Information |
---|
Tail Swipe: Khezu uses its rubbery tail like a whip, knocking down any hunters hit with the move. This attack can be dodged easily by simply rolling away as Khezu will still need to spin in order to use this move. |
Khezu's electric breathe attacks extremely slow so it'll be fairly easy to dodge but make sure to bring lightning-resistant gear to be safe.
Electric Breath Variations |
---|
Single Electric Breath: Khezu fires up a single electric orb from its mouth. |
Triple Electric Breath: Khezu spews out three electric orbs that fans out as it travels on the ground. |
Electric Discharge Attack Information |
---|
Electric Discharge: Khezu can cover itself in lightning which will shock all enemies close to the Khezu. This is a nightmare for melee users but is a great vulnerability against ranged weapons. |
Khezu will spread its arms, jump up, and lunge at its target with full force!
This attack is usually followed up by a huge opening but sometimes Khezu will chain this attack with an electric discharge attack so observe and act accordingly!
Pounce Variations |
---|
Slow Pounce: Khezu leaps from a distance towards it target. This attack is relatively slower compared to the other variant of this move, so dodging can be easy. |
Quick Pounce: Khezu may appear to be only walking, only to catch its target offguard as it quickly jumps up to pounce at a hunter. |
Khezu can latch on the ceiling to perform an evasive maneuver. Its moves, while latched, will be easy to dodge, but attacking it will be quite a hassle. Aim to weaken its legs to make it fall or use exhaust coating in your attacks!
Ceiling Latch Variations |
---|
Electric Breath: Khezu shoots balls of electricity from above to paralyze hunters, much like its standard electric breath attack. |
Neck Swing: While attached at the ceiling, Khezu will extend its neck and use it as a weapon to knock down hunters. Stay away from the area directly underneath Khezu to avoid this attack. |
Body Slam: Khezu jumps off at the ceiling and slams its weight onto a hunter. |
