Normal
Charge: Simply charges forward at the target, ending with a bite. Often, it will turn completely around and then rise into the air afterwards, causing Dragon Wind Pressure.

Side Bite: Takes a small bite to its left side. The tail will swing up and right during this attack, dealing minute damage.

Tail Swing: Swings its tail while turning about 180 degrees to the side. Always does two.

Flame Huffer: Throws its head way back, then lowers it and spits up to three short jets of fire in front of it. (Fireblight)

Aerial Charge: Stands up and flares its wings, then suddenly rockets forward with wings outstretched. It will then turn around and either remain in the air or land.

Gust Attack: While in the air, rears up and flaps all four of its wings at once, sending a huge gust of wind flying forward a short distance. (Skyblight)

Wing Swing: While in the air, draws a pair of wings back and then swings them both in a forward arc, causing Dragon Wind Pressure in front of it. When enraged, it may follow up with a second swipe from the opposite side.

Spinning Arc: While in the air, flies forward and does a swift pivot before flying in the opposite direction, followed by rising high into the air with a large gust of Dragon Wind Pressure. May follow up with a Fire Rain or Aerial Talon Attack. (Skyblight)

Fire Rain: Similarly to Rathalos, it will fly high up into the air before raising its head, pausing, and raining three to five blasts of fire down onto the ground. It can maneuver itself to aim at a specific target as it does so.

Aerial Talon Attack: While high in the air, it will raise its head and claws before swooping down upon a target and slamming them with its talons before flying back up. If it misses, it can jerk backwards in the air, similar to Silver Rathalos, and then quickly swoop down again.

Body Slam: The Stormcutter will jump into the air, fly upwards while beating its wings like a hummingbird's, and then crash down into the ground below it. Causes Dragon Wind Pressure around it.

Triple Flip: Similarly to the Phantom Doragyurosu, the Stormcutter will jump into the air and then proceed to do three backflips in the air, one after the other. It can aim at its target between backflips. The gusts of wind it produces cause Dragon Wind Pressure. (Skyblight)

Flamethrower: Takes two large steps back while rearing its head back and to the side, then lowers its head while spraying a large stream of fire to its other side. (Fireblight)

G-Rank Onwards
Spinning Strike: Now, when enraged, it will run forwards a pace before launching into the air and doing several spins before flying back down and slamming into the ground. Similar to what the Phantom Doragyurosu does when enraged.

Arc-Rain-Talon Combo: Chains together a Spinning Arc and a Fire Rain, then jerks backwards in the air and follows up with an Aerial Talon Attack.

Huff-Gust Combo: Does a Flame Huffer before going immediately into a Gust Attack.

Hummingbird Hover: Jumps into the air while flapping its wings like a hummingbird, causing Dragon Wind Pressure all around it. It then flies directly forward, swiftly turns back to the downed hunters it left behind, and swoops down to slam them with its talons.
