Can you fight Chameleos? If so you can use his set and not worry about really anything, otherwise, Kushalas nose is just outside the wind barrier, difficult target to hit, but it can be managed.

And as a rule of thumb: When in doubt, use a bowgun (Pierce, pellet, element, explosives, and status shots all go through his wind barrier, and you dont have to get so close that you get knocked over repeatedly.)
