The trick (with a longsword) is to get it with a blow to the head right after it backjumps and taunts - leaves it open to one strike only, unfortunately, before you're thrown back by the wind. SO, use the Poison Throwing Knives in the Item Box to your advantage and remove that wind aura! Also, a bit more information would be nice, but from what you're saying I'm going to assume it's the 4 Star village Daora in MHFU. Fun times... :D ... anyway. You're on the right track with Eager Cleaver, all you need next is to bump up your power a little and make sure you break those darned horns as fast as possible. Once they're broken, all your wind-aura worries will be gone... with the wind. YEAHHHHH- *slapped for terrible joke*
