contents Spacetime transformations in any physically viable theory should follow Lie Point symmetry. In this work, we explore the Cuscuton model extended to Galileons, as introduced by de Rham et al in \cite{Rham2017}. We find the true degrees of freedom by converting the model into an equivalent first order model. Despite being a higher derivative model, it possesses only \textit{two} degrees of freedom. We calculate the Noether symmetry parameters corresponding to Lie point transformations, which lead to the vanishing of the original Cuscuton term's coefficient and restrict the potential to an exponential form. Interestingly, the coefficient corresponding to the original Cuscuton term vanish. Additionally, we also use the Killing analysis to find out the charges corresponding to the Killing vectors and the Killing tensors. The cosmological implications are examined through dynamical analysis, revealing that under the condition where the coefficient $a_2$ vanishes, the equation of state parameters exhibit damped oscillatory behavior .
