I believe so. The infinite combo was the BnB in past MHs but it seems like they buffed the motion value of the tornado slash. While the exact numbers for motion values aren't known yet, I felt that spamming tornado slash provided just a bit more DPS than using the infinite combo.
Thanks 4 the reply. I've been wonderin if the combo still hit fast enough to be the better option. I feel like we'll have 2 gameplay options now, dependin on the wep. Infinite combo might b better 4 status/ele, but that tornado slash will make raw weps like Anubis more on par... At least I hope, lol. Anubis is my favorite IG design
Virgel Rayo Amazing run! and although it's yet to be seen if kinsects will have more use now with the new kinsect dust effects other than for just gathering extracts but it's always refreshing to see gameplay incorporating marking attacks in their combos. This makes IG more two-part than being just a stereotypical glaive. Also, I don't know if it's just in the beta or if the motion/attack values are set in stone but it seems like they nerfed the infinite combo a lot while giving tornado slash quite a big buff. At least in X/Gen, if you compare the rising slash to tornado slash w/o looking at the attacks that come before and after them, they yield comparable damage output with tornado slash being slightly weaker. But here in World, even with the connecting hit from wide slash, rising slashes still can't compare to the big burst damage of tornado slash. I agree with TrickDomo though. Maybe if you go ele/status the infinite combo will still be very useful with the multiple hits but I guess we'll have to wait for the full game to test things out as the added ability to roll backwards and combo straight into the forward slam to tornado slash solves a lot of repositioning issues with the latter. And it's notable that the former is the quickest ticket to tornado slash which makes me think that the new BnB at least for raw glaives would be slam > [rising slash to detonate dust] > tornado slash, roll and repeat foregoing rising slash if there're no active dust close enough to detonate and to dish out as many tornado slashes as possible.

Great CC on the Rathalos. KUDOS! to the Insect Glaive. Professional
nice video bro... not a lot of ppl have a lot of info on how the ig going to work in MHW...
Ok, I'll call PETA, you abuse that Rathalos too much
Do you think the infinite combo is worth usin anymore or should we aim for as many tornado slashes as possible?
