Water Weapon | Kulu-Ya-Ku is weakest against water. |
Recommended Armor Skills | |
Water Attack | Since you do not need a lot of skills to fight Kulu-Ya-Ku, you can invest in a few Water Attack levels to make your water weapon stronger. |
Mind's Eye/Ballistics | If you do not want to waste time to trying to get Kulu-Ya-Ku to drop his rock, you can also bring Mind's Eye/Ballistics to stop having your weapon bounce on it. |
Stun Resistance | Kulu-Ya-Ku's rock attacks can cause stun more easily, which can easily lead to you getting carted. If you are not doing well in dodging him, consider putting Stun Resistance in your build. |
Kulu-Ya-Ku has a unique characteristic wherein he holds a small rock in front of him to use as a weapon and as a shield to bounce off melee weapons.
It is recommended that you focus on attacking Kulu-Ya-Ku on the sides when he is holding a rock or you can try to drop his rock by using a Flash Pod directly on to his head.
Kulu-Ya-Ku's jump attack can be dangerous because of its fast animation. Stay alert and always be prepared to dodge or keep your distance to avoid getting hit by this attack.
Also, after Kulu-Ya-Ku performs his jump attack, he will be stationary for a few seconds. You can use this opportunity to attack and dish out some damage for efficiency.
