Characteristics
A male elder dragon that exhibits inexplicable behaviors such as floating upside down midair. Research indicates that the emission of a special gas from all over its body, and the modulation of this gas, is what allows it to move freely.

Wind Serpent Ibushi Hunting Tips

It possesses special organs called windsacs that store the gas it uses to float, and can be seen on its back, and tail. They are very delicate, and injuring them could open up a prime opportunity to attack.

How to Beat Wind Serpent Ibushi

Wind Serpent Ibushi Tips
Take Advantage of the Counter Signal Use the Splitting Wyvernshot and Dragonator Use Artillery During Boulder Smash Take Advantage of Ibushi's Updrafts Use the Power Kiln to Reduce Installation Cooldowns

Take Advantage of the Counter Signal

Ibushi isn't as directly aggressive compared to Apex Arzuros or Apex Rathian and due to its size its weak points are easily hit. This makes dealing tons of damage with the Counter Signal boost quite easy and should be taken advantage of as much as possible.

Use the Splitting Wyvernshot and Dragonator

Dragonator	Spliting Wyvernshot

As with all Rampage Quests, using the Dragonators and Splitting Wyvernshot will deal massive damage to all monsters caught in their range. Always use them to your advantage!

Use Artillery During Boulder Smash

Ibushi's Boulder Smash is a devastating attack towards the gate that can cause your hunt to fail if left unchecked. Hop on a machine cannon, ballista, or cannon and blast the boulders away to mitigate its damage.

Alternatively, it is possible to knock Ibushi down to the ground by straight-up shooting it with the installations — This mostly works with a full squad though.

The Splitting Wyvernshot (and Dragonator depending on the area layout) can be used during this time in solo play to knock Ibushi down as well, but only if enough damage was dealt prior to the start of the attack.

Take Advantage of Ibushi's Updrafts

Ibushi's Updrafts offer much needed mobility during the hunt when used correctly. Use them to land your heavy-hitting aerial attacks or when you need to get to somewhere else quicker!

Use the Power Kiln to Reduce Installation Cooldowns

It’s easy to get two multiple uses of the Splitting Wyvernshot and Dragonator, especially in multiplayer.

Be sure to use the Power Kilns at the second area to start reducing the cooldown while your other teammates keep Ibushi busy.

Wind Serpent Ibushi Master Rank Attack Patterns

In addition to its attacks in High Rank quests, Wind Serpent Ibushi uses the following attacks in Master Rank.

Biting Wind Burst Combo

Biting Wind Burst Combo Attack Information
Biting Wind Burst Combo: Ibushi bites upwards with its maw before slamming into the ground to discharge large bursts of wind, knocking hunters upward and dealing heavy damage. Move away from Ibushi's mouth to dodge the biting attack, and quickly reposition away from the body slam's impact zone and wind bursts to avoid getting hit.

Twin Bite Dragon Burst Combo

Twin Bite Dragon Burst Combo Attack Information
Twin Bite Dragon Burst Combo: Ibushi performs two quick bites before repositioning and letting out a powerful Dragon Burst. Each attack in this combo has the potential to easily KO any careless hunter, so stay cautious when Ibushi is enraged. To avoid this attack, evade to the left or right twice to dodge each bite and run perpendicular to the path of the Dragon Burst.

Wind Serpent Ibushi General Attack Patterns

Wind Serpent Ibushi uses the following attacks in High Rank quests.

Tail Attacks

Ibushi can use its long tail to attack hunters in a variety of ways.

Tail Attack Variations
Spinning Tail Slam: Ibushi spins and quickly slams its tail towards the front. This particular pattern can target both the hunter and the gate and may produce an Updraft or Dragon Burst.
Tail Uppercut: Ibushi performs a sommersault in the air, flinging its tail straight-up in the process. This pattern can send a Dragon Burst flying towards the target.
Diagonal Tail Flip: Ibushi diagonally sweeps its tail on one of its sides, launching anyone caught in the attack. This pattern is usually a follow-up whenever it creates multiple Updrafts at once.

Dragon's Maw

Ibushi uses its massive maw to bite hunters within range. See the possible patterns below:

Dragon's Maw Variations
Single Bite: Ibushi floats back before quickly lunging forward to do a quickly bite its target. Always be mindful of this pattern whenever Ibushi suddenly repositions in the air.
Double Bite: Ibushi does two quick bites towards the target. This pattern is usually performed whenever you are on an installation platform.

Updraft

Updraft Attack Information
Updraft: Ibushi sends its energy into the ground itself, unleashing multiple Updrafts that fling hunters up high as soon as they set foot in them. Keep in mind that this particular attack is usually followed by a Diagonal Tail Flip.

Dragon's Corkscrew

Dragon's Corkscrew Attack Information
Dragon's Corkscrew: Ibushi corkscrews through the air, damaging and launching anyone caught in the attack. It is important to note that those hit while manning an installation can get knocked off of them as well.

Charged Dragon Cannon

Charged Dragon Cannon Attack Information
Charged Dragon Cannon: Ibushi will fire a beam of energy from its maw and rotate in a circle pattern. If you're are on a platform and are not using artillery it will knock you off.

Dragon Burst

Dragon Burst Attack Information
Dragon Burst: Ibushi gathers a portion of its energy in one of its arms before unleashing them towards the target in a quick and sudden burst. It is possible to get afflicted with Dragonblight from this attack. Keep your Nulberries on hand whenever you use elemental weapons against Ibushi!

Wind Burst Wave

Wind Burst Wave Attack Information
Wind Burst Wave: Ibushi plants both arms into the ground and fires a cascade of wind that deals high damage and knocks anyone caught in the attack. This attack can easily KO an unaware hunter as it has a long range and will destroy any installations. Keep in mind that this attack is usually followed by a Spinning Tail Slam.

Boulder Smash

Boulder Smash Attack Information
Boulder Smash: Ibushi curls up into a ball, gathering large boulders around it before flinging them towards the gate. This deals massive damage to the gate so knock Ibushi down or break the boulders at all costs!
