"The insect glaive is my favorite weapon in monster hunter so far..."
One of us! One of us! ONE OF US! *ONE OF US!!*
I've used the Glaive for 100+ hours and I had no idea about the backwards + circle dodge. 10/10 man, cheers!
I knew that pressing R2 did a mark attack but I had no idea you bug goes on auto pilot!
same here lol. the weapon is amazing and keeps getting better and better. definitely adding that move to my arsenal!
Mercman1010 marking also gets you extract of the spot it hit so its a good dual use technique
This is what I like to call the "definitive" channel for learning this game. So helpful. I really appreciate it!
Gaijin and Arekkz are my definite go to channels for MH:W!
indeed
Thats so true ... I actually learned something usefull from this video for this specific type of weapon that I really like to use.
Same for me!
A few important notes:
1. The mounted attack is done whenever you move on a monster, and doesn't require you to press triangle to activate it.
2. Not unique to Insect Glaive, but possibly more important for it than any other weapon: whenever a monster tries to shake you off while mounting, you don't need to hold R2. Instead you can just move on the monster using the analog stick. This avoids the entirety of it shaking you off, and you can make headway on taking it down in the meantime. Great for Insect Glaive because of the first point I made: now monsters shaking you off are opportunities to deal damage instead of inconveniences.
3. The Jumping Advancing Slash (aerial circle attack) can only be done five times per vault. This means you can "bounce" off the monster four times before having to finish your time in the air. The combo I've been doing is four Jumping Advancing Slashes and then one Jumping Slash (aerial triangle)---unless doing the Jumping Slash would put me into danger, then I jump away. This is the most consistent way to get mounts with Insect Glaive, too.
Nice comment also number 2 is any weapon just depends on how they are trying to shake you very useful for finishing mounts fast
Two weeks late. But on number 2, some monsters have a "Universal Shake Off" meaning it effects all locations on it's body. All of them seem to be a jump attack of some sorts (Anji's leap for example).
BEHEMOTH thank you for the information, I learn a lot about mounting monsters I always having trouble them shaking me off also knowing you can bounce of a monster 5 times is useful information to know. But so fair I can do 3 bounce on the monster so fair since I’m literally starting out just 4 days playing the game.
I love this weapon it’s so fun to fly around annoying the monster like a fly that slowly killing them.
The only thing Insect Glaive lacks is the Style Meter from DMC
I'd actually recommend people watch this video even if they don't plan on using the IG. At least the dust part. I actually learned what it was from the video, and as a bow user, I'm going to trigger those clouds more often now :)
The dust is really useful. My strategy is to mark a monster and let the bug hit it over and over again. The battlefield is then littered with dust. I personally use the healing because I have a bad habit of getting tripped over but with dust everywhere I can heal myself and my teammates.
Good because I always use the mark but no one hits the dust. I'm the only one :( I use the blast one, it does good dmg.
Only thing you missed is how your allies can break the dust cloud or that you can trigger them with the ranged mark of the glaive.
Awesome video. I’ve been waiting on this one specifically from you and I wasn’t disappointed.
You can also trigger all your dust clouds with a flash bomb.
Though the healing cloud is proximity based so hitting it with a ranged attack it won't heal.
You can also vault into those mushroom walls. Your hunter then hangs onto the wall and you can jump off with a great distance.
Thank you for this great guide
Shaeq Haidari can also do this on climbable walls!
Actually did not know that! Thank you so much!
This is by far the best IG guide ever. I was looking everywhere on how dust effect works (and what different type does what). Nobody explains it until you put out this video. Thanks!
Oh and you cannot downgrade or rollback your kinsect.
Fajar Nugroho That's a little disappointing. Thanks for the info.
Makes sense, though, since it's a living creature.
Something to note that I didn’t see mentioned: the dust type determines how often your bugs attack, and each cloud has their own damage. Heal clouds don’t damage and will hit up to 4 times over the course of one R2 mark, paralyze deals 3 damage and hits up to 5 times, poison deals 5 damage and hits up to 6 times, and blast deals 10 damage and also hits up to 6 times. Using a heal bug, while great utility, sacrifices a surprising amount of damage. Edit - these numbers are from low rank, and without accounting for stamina boosting weapons. Your bug could attack more often with a stamina boosting weapon, and at high rank the clouds will deal slightly more damage
Good note! I never noticed heal is only up to 4 times, I must grab that juice often enough to. It notice
The damage by the cloud is actually determined by rank. Your numbers are correct for low rank (and training area), but para and poison will do 1 more damage in high rank and blast does two more (4, 6, and 12 respectively). I think it might be more accurate to say the dust type determines the kinsect auto-attack frequency.
EDIT: I remembered Stamina Boost actually raises kinsect stamina recovery.
Huh, I had no idea that rank determined the damage! And yeah, "frequency of attacks" is a better way to put it.
I thought about trying the heal bug for solo stuff, but I realized that hitting the tail multiple times heals efficiently enough.
Sadly the heal ones are also the faster kinsects. I prefer the speed for hitting spots over the ailments.
Man, I'm so glad your channel exists considering MonHun doesn't find it necessary to explain its mechanics.
Masked Hero Lucky just figure it out by yourself kid,lol
Well Ib think because its been around for so long they didn't feel a need to explain every little thing plus half the fun imo is discovering it.
The Bardock I'd have never known anything about those dust mechanics if this video didn't exist. This is the first MonHun game I've bought, so it's incredibly frustrating that the game only gives you the most basic of tutorials. I know I can transform the switch axe into a blade, the tutorial tells me that much, but then there seems to be a time limit on it, and at the end of that time limit the weapon is stronger or something? Sure, I can just swing it around and it'll do the job, but I'm likely missing out on basic content because Capcom couldn't be bothered to explain. I'm seeing series veterans being surprised about some new weapon feature they only discovered on accident because the game doesn't tell you exists.
Masked Hero Lucky a command pops up when you aim with the IG saying R2: Mark target
Plus, you could just try pushing the button to see what it does if you were reallyinterested
DarkHero - Gaming Videos I knew about the marking thing, but I thought it was just a slower, but more accurate way to collect extracts. I never even considered that not recalling my kinsect would cause it to attack the monster on its own.
31 minutes? gaijin hunter the guide god
Andrew Walker I totally didn’t notice it was 31 minutes! Felt like the usual lol
No filler neither. Jam-packed with useful information
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the work you do to share what you know for not only MHW but all the series. When I get frustrated you just help point me in the right direction and I'm off having a blast again. Thank you!
The only thing really missed is a small thing, which is if you do a jump into a parkour wall or even vines, you jam your Glaive in there and can hang or maneouver around while your weapon is still out, or jump off and attack. You move further with white extract, but it's a pretty situational move. I think with white you can probably climb walls faster than with your weapon away, but the only time I'd really use it is if the monster is running and my bug has marked the monster, just to keep my bug out for those few extra hits.
SIaanme you can still do that
Also, if you fall off a ledge, you will do the same animation and put you back up on the ledge.
Although I've mained Glaive for the last few games I enjoyed watching your video. I think your guide covers all aspects of this fun weapon! Great work :)
Ah, Pseudocath! I see you are a hunter of culture as well!
ZenTea I will give that bug a try as well then, thank you!
I like the Carnage Beetle
If you use l2 triangle and call it back it regains stamina
The blast proc is too good to give up for any of the others.
ZenTea I think heal stat is not about increasing the kinsect's stamina bar. I've tested this. *All* kinsects have the same amount of stamina. Or more accurately, all of them have *25s worth of stamina* as issuing commands no longer consumes a chunk of kinsect stamina, they just start a sort of countdown timer. From what I have observed, heal gives a significant boost to kinsect stamina regen rate while on standby, which means it's not about the kinsect staying in the fight very long but is about getting it back into the fight much faster instead :)
I carted when I saw Gaijin Hunter did a Glaive tutorial for MHW.
Thanks, as always!
Switch Axe/ Insect Glaive my most main/favorite weapons good video gaijin keep em coming.
same as me
Switch axe and Insect Glaive :D
Ah, you are my person. I used to use switch axe all the time since MHTri but I got into insect glaive in Generations (I skipped 4u because I thought it was overused) and now I really enjoy using both! My favorite World changes are the buffed kinsects and the big damage mounts/jump explosion attack for SA.
Damn me too.
Why is it that whenever gaijin posts a weapon guide I wanna main that weapon right away
hes got a way of making every weapon look uper fun and uber powerful
Kyle Loehr the design of Monster Hunter helps too, when you know the gist of combat, delving into weapons like a class can drive you to master all of them
Jensen Dong Wow, glad I’m not the only one that feels that way. Lol
insect glaive Master race ftw!
Yeah me too..I’ve been switching my weapons watching his videos..haha
Gotta love the new kinsect build vs the old one. No more looking up feeding guides to get that one kinsect you want.
Somebody already mentioned the ability to shoot your own dust clouds with the ranged mark mechanic, however, You can also use your "shoot mark" or the to trigger world traps such as the falling rocks in ancient forest or the toads. I find this really useful instead of sheathing my weapon and using the sling to accomplish these things.
Wow this is probably the most in-depth tutorial I've seen for IG so far. And it really helps. I'm new to MH and fell in love with the IG but I haven't quite mastered it yet. I think this will really help me as I move further along in the game. Thank you!!
Welp, I know what I'm doing with my 30 minute break tonight.
Macen Payne not a bad way to spend your break lol
Damn you, Ricky! He got us again!
The kinsects got a massive buff
RDX Gamer Only thing I wish they would bring back is that you can mark the monster while in midair. It helps getting the orange buff and it shoots a lot faster than in the ground
Right? Feels good. I can't count how many times I've dropped a flying Xeno or Kushala by spamming my kinsect on it. Not to mention it being now separate from the weapon and dealing actual damage
I think you forgot to mention that all of the aerial attacks doesn’t bounce, I know that applies for all weapons but scenes IG is so aerial attack focused you can abuse this mechanic much more heavily than any other weapons
While that's true, it is also _really_ good at melting your sharpness, since hitting through armor points doubles the sharpness lost on attacks.
Kopenich 😮 I always wondered why it would tear through my sharpness.
Kopenich so? If you play at endgame tiers it literally doesnt matter. Theres skills to increase sharpness, decrease shredding or disable it entirely.
Not a problem for something incredibly useful.
Sub Zero probably not a problem in late-game, but it's a good thing to point out nonetheless.
Makes me wonder what that would look like with that diablos set skill that increases damage as the sharpness goes down.
Hey Gaijin, I found something pretty cool with the Insect Glaive that others may not know. You probably do know this but, whenever you find a wall you can climb, instead of putting your weapon away, try midair evading into it! It allows you to climb up faster (in my opinion) than normal! I don't know if it's affected by the white extract or if it uses sharpness, but it looks super cool and stylish. Thanks for the guide, I played IG since 4U but never got into the Kinsect system until I watched your videos.
Zfighter 128 its affected by white
Zfighter 128 I saw that too, how you can jump up vines with the glaive still drawn.
Ya I noticed that aswell but doesnt seem much faster and I felt like I couldn't climb the very top.
Love that they simplified the glacier so much but it still takes a half an hour to explain :) great vid as always!
the best IG guide around, GJ
you might have missed 2 things really handy regarding kinsect, you can trigger the dust with holding L2 and shooting R2, also you can trigger environmental traps with your kinsect, just aim and square it.
Shurik The marking shot does that too, i prefere using this cause it goes faster and has more range(with one shot)
longer range is is good too, speciality hitting a a environmental before the monster notice you. but i tend to find it easier with 15 speed kinsect, it travels crazy fast.
This has been the best tutorial that I’ve seen on the insect glaive, thank you!!
By far my favorite weapon type to use. Started using it when it was first introduced in previous titles. It’s so much fun to use
Alpha Ping
Same, I just made a decent bone one and it's been pretty fun. I definitely want to get into it more
30 minutes? Now this is a guide
Your guides are really the stuff man. Im always looking out for these, really nice work. I cant wait for the other weapons :O
So glad for this video. MHW is my first MH game, and I moved onto the glaive from long sword and have been having a ball with it. Unfortunately, I never understood what the extracts were meant to do, nor did I understand a lot of the stats for the kinsect or the bar that wasn't the stamina bar. Thanks to this guide, I realize why my effectiveness seems to have been dropping off, and am ready to put the things I learned in this guide to good use. Thank you so much for this eye-opening tutorial.
I haven't played Insect Glaive much in the past games, but I've made one to play with my Low Rank friend and it's been fun! Will definitely try it more.
I think you slightly overstate the impact of speed on a kinsect. I find that it usually doesn't matter that much because I'm mixed up close to the monster anyway, and if I need to refresh, I often just R2 tag the body part I want and let the bug do its thing and recall when it hits the part. You have a whole minute to do so, so it's not that big a deal.
That's been my experience, anyway. Thank you for making this guide.
Dac85 speed bugs just make getting your buffs on the fly a lot less painful. That does not make it the best, but it is the most convenient
Dac85 you dont have one minute to refresh tho. Since you cant refresh if you have triple buff. if its 10 seconds left and you collect all 3 it will still run out in 10 seconds. And then youll have to collect all 3 buffs which will be slow and youll miss more woth a slow bug too.
Agreed. High damage high heal gets you the most dust and dps out of a kinsect. Who harvests extracts from 30 metres away? I'm in melee range so the kinsect speed is irrelevant. Any speed kinsect gets the extract instantly. The benefit of fast kinsects is for monsters that move around a lot like Kulve (Pseudocath) or Diablos/Odogaron (Cancadaman). Something like Val or Nergi is best with Empresswing. Heal 3 is 45 seconds of downtime unless you waste dps by manually rinsing it. Heal 15 is 15 seconds of downtime. That's a big difference in dps and dust.
I do think speed is important, especially for monster who move fast/charge a lot, but I agree the fact that he exagerates the importance of speed. I don't play to World (yet ?), but I think the speed he shows at 30:08 is enough. I play insect glaive a lot in 4u, I can deal with that, maybe even a bit lower.
There is a tactic you can do easier with slower bugs then faster. Because you can point where the kinsect goes, you can shoot a slow bug above or behind a monster, then retarget on the ground effectively drawing a "line" with the kinsect, doing so can have you hit the spots on a monster you normally couldnt hit if its say charging you. You can also draw lines to yourself by shooting your bug behind it, then recall it through the body, and when it pops through the head, bam, easy red buff. If its too fast it becomes harder to control these trick shots as there is too long of a delay between firing and recalling at the high speeds.
This doesnt hell with the problems below 7 speed, but with these trick shots you can compensate for a lack of spped from 7ish to 10.
I heard about your exotic passion for monster hunter from the 84 play podcast. I’m glad to be sucked into this black hole of endless joy.
I tried two of the 3DS monster hunters and liked what I played but the handheld factor and maybe the quality of life changes in World that have happened since, kept me from the gratification of the hunt.
I’ve been wielding the switch axe for the 90 hours I’ve played. The Datura Blade I was in my list of weapons I could forge instantly with the materials I already had. I forged and am very much looking forward to learning the insect glaive.
Thank you for the tutorial video, I’m excited to understand the depth of this weapon class.
Also to delve into your videos now that I’m head over heels for Monster Hunter World....and my Palico, Lolli Beans.
When Lolli Beans and his other Palico pals chit chat then rally up for the hunt, well, my heart melts.
I remember watching ur first insect glaive tutorial when it first came out in MH4, have been loving ever since and these guides only comes once every one or two years, it feels like watching a movie series cause I gotta set aside time and sit down and enjoy these, I know how to use it, still enjoy watching u explain it :)
Normally i watch 2 guides. 1 basic that drags on, then 1 really advanced guide that someone spends no time explaining anything. This is perfect pace and perfect depth. Subbed
Also, your TIPs were on POINT!
Happy you made this.
As anew mon hun fan and a insect glaive main i had a little bit of a struggle and almost quit till i realized how important the kinsect is.
There's a second infinite combo, which does more damage but has more forward momentum, so you want to do it up against the monster. It's just O, O, Triangle. This is also good for shorter openings since you frontload a lot of damage with O, O.
I actually prefer this when the monster is downed as the O attacks deal a lot more damage and you can arrest the momentum with the monster's body. I still use Tri, Tri, O for reaching high tails or on paralyzed monsters where I can't get stuck in a spot. Fewer hits also means less sharpness loss, but less status buildup if you're using one of those.
IG has overtaken GS as my favorite weapon in this game, it's so complex and yet elegant! Thanks for the guide, and happy hunting. :o)
Sljm 8D Yeah, I thought THAT was the bread and butter combo.
Sljm 8D To me the new IG playstyle in World is no longer about infinite combos. With the new kinsect auto-attack mechanic, it's now about mimicking how your kinsect buddy attacks the monster: sting and fly (hit and run) style. Sting with circle finisher (tornado slash) and fly by rolling or vaulting. What I like to do is spam forward circle (lunging attack) into tornado slash, roll, rinse and repeat. Why? because that's the fastest way to spam tornado slash AND takes the least hit to weapon sharpness, minimizing the need to sharpen your weapon. :)
Oh and you can also adjust the camera as you are moving during tornado slash and then cancel the recovery animation with a kinsect attack. :)
th-cam.com/video/4CooNGEKDuU/w-d-xo.html
Sljm 8D I do still mix in other combos. But their usually 2-button input such as idle ∆->O for verticality, idle O->O if the target is low because this is faster than ∆O. I use these to keep the playstyle fresh and if I need to inflict status asap.
One of the most informative insect glave videos I have seen so far. I'm subscribing. Good job! Thanks
This video is what every new player (and even veterans) aiming to use the Insect Glaive needs.
Had to brush up for Icebourne!! It's still my favorite IG guide!
Hey Gaijin, great guide (as always) You were the reason I learned my kinsects from 4U. Since then been streaming this game as much as I can. One thing I've noticed is the slight reduction of damage in the combo hits. Leading me to modify the infinite combo. [Circle Triangle Circle, 8 hits] its my new go to, plus it can be combo'd so well with the newer fight mechanics. I've seen other hunters on reddit doing similar. Thanks again for the guide. Looking forward to the new hunts to come.
I am totally new to this series and the IG is the only weapon that really clicked for me. Not getting the Infusion mechanic makes me wonder what else I've been missing. Thanks, GH!
As someone who uses Glaive a lot in the game there is something else that can help that you may not expect. Its a small thing but it helps wonders when mounting or when someone has mounted the monster. You can use your nectar shot to target your bug on areas the mounter stabs and those tiny stabs for 1 damage will cause all those fun boom clouds to explode. It helps topple the monster faster and adds dps to the mount you just sometimes can't manage with some monsters. While your kinsect can just wallop the monster being ridden at any point on the body, the dps increase from those stabs blowing up the clouds tends to be a lot higher.
Also something else for people having trouble with Kirin. Glaive can make it a lot easier if you let your kinsect do the work while the oversized kelbi is prancing around and you can focus on dodging. When kirin stops to thunder attack you can use the unsheath attack to hit its face, quick triangle strike twice, dodge attack roll backwards, and you'll be safe. I hear so many people having issues with Kirin and the glaive makes it better. Four fire glaive users letting their bugs go to town in one battle with Kirin ended so fast and was hilarious to watch. I almost felt bad for the poor thing.
Thank you. Been maining IG since 4U and your tutorial back then helped me stick with the weapon. Happy to say that that is still holding true now.
Another fantastic guide! I’ve only really used the Pseudocath Kinsect but I’m definitely going to be checking out the others now and I never realised the Odogaron Glaive gave such a big boost your bugs speed!
A couple of things I think people should know though that weren’t mentioned:
1. The “Power Prolonger” skill is incredibly useful for Glaive users as it increases your triple buff time by 30% at level 3. The Xeno Jiiva Alpha set comes with this skill maxed out.
2. If you use the Vault on a climbable wall you will stab your Glaive into the wall to hold yourself in place which I thought was pretty cool. It’s very useful when you can’t quite reach the top of a wall with a single vault and allows you to jump the rest of the way without having to sheath your weapon. This also worked on a wall you can use to perform a jump attack off when I tried it.
Great job! I was looking for a complete Insectglaive tutorial! Done, the best I have seen. Thanks a lot
I love how you practically become Super Saiyan when you have all 3 extracts. Great video man, keep up the excellent work
This was super helpful, you show a lot of nuanced things the game doesn’t really tell you 😂 thanks man. You made IG even better
When I started Monster Hunter, I watched each of your weapon tutorials videos which makes me to become a more "useful" hunter during multIplayer games. Thank you for the hardwork and mh for the west in the past. You are the best!
Keep it up with the goodwork.
btw,
One more extra point for the Kinsect that I hope you can add in if it is not bugged.
Which I discovered during a hunt.
There was 1 time when the hunting situation become so messy when 3 monsters come into same area, I was like omg ima stay the hell away for a while and nobody cared to dung them, So I just keep marking the monsters from far, then started to spam marking and something happened the dust + kinsect atk become so fast and a lot of blast dusts were left as compared to "kinsect auto mode"
Not so useful for solo game, but if you want add a lot paralysis dust all over the place, or heal dust all over...
Happy Hunting
Absolutely my favorite weapon in MHW. Awesome guide. I don't see many people using the Kinsect's dust to its full potential, me included.
Thanks for this guide, because of this you turned a heavy LBG main into a new IG user! Glad I found this video. Keep it up!
Just picked up IG and wow. Was just looking for a guide on IG and stumble across this gem! Thx Gaijin!
I loove the insect glaive. Ive been playing with my friend and both of us are new to monster hunter so having those healing clouds around is so helpful
Blunt bug is also great for kelbi horn hunting
Yeah but you should just send your tailraiders to go farm Kelbi horns, that's all they are good for anyway!
Kopenich I have them farm parts I don't feel like hinting for at the time. I love the safari dudes lol
Sam Whisenhunt
I've been wondering what an effective way to harvest them would be. Thanks for the off hand advice!
Geoffreyvexer, welcome. Usually when I quest in the two maps kelbi show up in, I spend 2 to 3 min getting horns then go on with my mission. I will then also get extra horns at the end in rewards or from palico. It all adds up
Geoffreyvexer Apparently you can shoot you capture net at the horn and it'll come off easier without killing them
Holy! I just watched one of your mh4u videos and your voice sounded so robotic. Now you sound so natural and like you're having fun. Keep it up!
I came back after MH Tri (and freedom 2 before that) only to find that IG is my favourite weapon of them all.
Even if I have played atleast 30 hours with it (the other 40 or so as CB), you still opened my eyes (mainly with the triangle triangle circle combo).
Thank you so much, love these videos and every time I see the new one I rush towards crafting the type of weapon you overview (yeah, even Hunting Horn!).
Thank you so much
Really great guide!
Only thing missing is you can vault on to the walls that you can run up on which allows you to jump off the wall again.
Hey Gaijin!! Thank you so much for this! I was 50 hours into mhw when I was looking into maining the IG, I was scared of learning it since it was nautoriously complicated, but your guide really helped me tackle learning it piece by piece. I am now over 500 hours into the game and loving the IG, I have base infinite purple sharpness safi fully augmented sets for all of the elements and ailements for IG and am getting ready for Fatalis. I also really love all of your Monster Hunter videos and can clearly see all of the passion and care you put onto videos, and I for one really appreciate it! I am loving all of the breakdowns for MH: Rise recently including the translated long sword video and can't wait until March!! Happy Hunting!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Only been playing for a couple weeks, just tried IG, and this guide is outstanding. I can't wait to go and get some practice in.
I've got one thing to add, slow Kinsects are actually really good if you use the melee marking and then call them back, it's a bit more technical and definitely not something you can do well without a lot of practice but it certainly works well enough. Particularly with the heal and paralyze ones.
I was so convinced seeing Arekkz guides that I was gonna be going Light Bowgun or Switch Axe but now...welp. Style trumps ALL THINGS. Haha, so grateful to have such quality content creators on a fairly new game already, especially with me being brand new to MH. Thanks for all the hard work! =D
I decided to use the IG in World thanks to your guide for MH4U. And now I LOVE this Weapon. Thanks for your work, keep it up !
Not sure if it's already been mentioned but you can also vault against climbable walls and then "stick" to the wall - super handy if you want to climb a reasonably high wall without putting your glaive away (which makes your Kinsect return)
Really liking your vids so far... long but there isn’t any unnecessary filler and this weapon definitely needs all 30 minutes lol. Didn’t know about the Kinsect spam, thanks. Gonna try the spam out for the blunt one for KOs and sever for tails. 🤘
Ryan Stupy Any guide that isn't around the twenty minute mark for most weapons (or at least thirty for IG/CB) isn't going to be worth watching. The weapons in these games all have a lot to them and they're not really something you can cover in a short time.
Gaijin does a really good job of slowly building up each weapons moveset from the basics, to do it in less time is either going to miss important stuff or is going to overwhelm you with you information.
Game2590 agreed, I watched his lance guide and really want to build a set now
Do those pesky monsters refuse to land and you are out of flash pods? Spam that Kinsect till they drop. Even the final boss is susceptible to the spam.
My cousin likes using this weapon. I'm trying to help him learn to use it better and this definitely helped me understand how it works. You've answered alot of questions I had.
An interesting thing I discovered recently is you can climb vine walls even when the weapon is unsheathed. Say the monster is trying to get away and you're vaulting and dashing to chase it down, but then it climbs up to a higher area, you can vault right into the climbable wall and your hunter will plunge the glaive into it to hang on, and you can make consecutive leaps to scale the wall.
These videos make me want to make every upgrade of every weapon. They all appeal so much!
On another note, it should be mentioned that each small monster gives a specific color of extract, which can make that triple up much easier.
After hunting with older game IG's I avoided the dust entierly and then last night I was hunting and DISCOVERED THE DUST EFFECTS. Changed my world!
Gaijin bro, I've been following your guides since M4HU and they're all very helpful to increase my enjoyment with the games.
Thanks again and keep going with the vid uploads~
-Fellow IG lover
Thanks! I wanted to use this weapon but didn't want to take another session of learning a new weapon. I fully learned the Hammer, and have since switched to Dual Swords as I want to focus on an affinity based playstyle. This weapon seems to also be good for that, and I love mounting monsters so I can probably do that with more ease with the Glaive. Thanks for the indepth tutorial!
Learned a couple of things about my favorite weapon! As a side note, with the dust, you can shoot it with your 'painter' to activate the dust. Mostly useful for the offensive dusts, but I've healed other hunters riding the monster using the shot.
Best tutorial I've seen so far, thanks for making this newbie learn something about the game!
I've been an ig main since I became a hunter in 2016, but it was nice to learn the new quirks that comes with the kinsect this time around! I'm glad your little buggy friend is a lot more interactive in this game, it's a lot of fun. 😁
Thanks for the tutorials. Been interested in trying out the glaive but had no idea how to use it.
Very nice guide as always!
One thing that you could have mentioned is that you can use a whetstone with your weapon drawn (L1 and right stick up on default). Yea not really something new. However, if you mark the monster with L2 and R2 or just R2 before sharpening your kinsect will fight along while you're having a nice date with that whetstone.
It isn't so long! Very good explained. So far I didn't know that the kinsect can auto-attack the monster plus has dust effect. 😱 so cool!
Thank you, man! 💪👌
Something I didn't see mentioned or maybe I just missed it, is that you can use vault to stick the glaive into a climbable wall and repeat. While this isn't super useful, it is fun and you don't have to sheath to get up a wall, and sometimes can be faster. This move can also be used to jump back off of the wall perpendicularly to get another angle of attack. Great video as always, and I absolutely love the new dust system, it feels so nice.
I'd say talk a bit about the (in)significance of master mounter/airborne/jump master, talk a bit about the drawbacks like how quickly you lose sharpness, good build ideas, and the importance of certain items such as dash juice.
I was really lost about how to use this weapon, I saw a lot of videos in youtube of people doing the super cool helicopter moves, but I couldn't get my character to do that. Now I know what to do, thank you so much, I'm going to have a blast with this weapon.
I finally went back to mhw to finish what I started... and then I realized that I need to work off a years worth of rust... Once again thanks for posting these guides.
all the weapons are so fun. I just wanna main all of them x3
Your guides are just the best
FUCKING THIS HOLY SHIT. MH:W has ruined me because of this. I haven't been this invested in learning every single weapon since MH:FU
I recently picked up the Insect Glaive and absolutely love it (which is weird because bugs freak me out haha). Really happy to see the guide and was just curious on some of your favorite glaives. Im currently using the Odogaron glaive and find it really nice.
I feel like the slower bugs are meant for close range you stand up in the monster's face, a bit more dangerous but that high blunt power.
Insanely well done! extremely good for either people who are new to the game and for Veterans who already have several 100s and 1000s of hours in the previous games :3
thanks a lot for that vid!
Wow man great work I’m a subscriber for ever dude I’m now main and I can’t believe it took me this long to find your channel great work I’m thankful to have a great content creator like you
As a new player in this game your guide have so much info I was afraid of the IG cuz of is complexity but with ur guide I learned alots about it thanks
Holy crap dude, You are technical, good commentator and entertaining. Well done, well prepared. Great intro into combat for me. :) Helps heaps already
As a Hunting Horn main who has never even tried other weapons since 3U when I started playing, this video made me want to try Insect Glaive. Thank you :)
One thing that wasn't in the video:
When you send your kinsect out, be sure to recall it just before it's stamina reaches zero, that way you can respam to restore stamina and reattach it after. If you let it run down to zero there's a period where your kinsect will be withdrawn and it doesn't have the stamina to be sent out for a moment.
SpiritConception Nah, kinsect stamina here in World is more of a flight / active-mode timer now. Notice how it doesn't consume chunks of stamina anymore when you issue commands like in previous games. It just depletes at a fixed rate as long as it's out and "active". I've tested this but feel free to test this yourself. I've discovered that ALL kinsects have 25 seconds worth of stamina. This is unaffected by anything as far as I can tell. Glaive boosts like health boost doesn't affect this. That one only boosts healing from green extract ONLY. It doesn't affect any other, even green dust. Stamina Boost on the other hand increases kinsect stamina regen rate while on "standby". It cuts the time to recover from 0 to full by 30% based on my tests. These glaive boosts actually buffs the only 2 effects of the kinsect's heal "stat". Yes, that stat doesn't appear to benefit green dust, only green extract.
The kinsects actually don't have a "withdrawn" / "fatigue" mode. Kinsect stamina immediately starts to regenerate as soon as it reaches your arm. I'm guessing you're simply using a kinsect with very low heal stat (Pseudocath?) that it looks that way as that bug's level 3 heal stat means it requires 50s to replenish it stamina from 0 to 100. Try its blunt sibling Whispervesp (level 11 heal = 15-16s recovery time) or the fastest para bug Cancadaman (max heal stat) and see the difference for yourself. With those bugs you don't need to stop glaive attacks to manually call them back to top up kinsect stamina.
It's basically a toss-up if you want to prioritize dealing damage with your kinsect vs inflicting status ailments through dusts.
One thing that wasn't mentioned that probably isn't widely known is that you can climb climbable walls with the weapon out. Just vault towards a climbable wall and you'll stick into the wall. Just keep pressing forward and X and you'll climb the wall. White extract increases the distance you leap up the wall each time you hit X. If you ever want to just jump off, press any other direction and hit X and you'll leap off the wall in that direction.
31 minutes and I enjoyed all of it I watched arrekz version a while back so remembered most but when I found you I watch this to make sure nothing was missed and of course just a bit was. You go super fuckin in depth 😂
Great guide just shared this with my brother because he's new to MH and he started using the IG :D
A few things to note:1) Kinsect upgrades that you perform are final. Unlike weapons which can be rolled back, you cannot undo an upgrade to your bug once you've confirmed it. 2) You can undo the element of your kinsect to select a new element.(I find it's best to save before crafting a bug and then go test it in the training area to see how it performs and to also test it with your glaives given bug boost. Quit the game without saving if you aren't satisfied and make another.)3) The new armor skill Power Prolonger affects the duration of kinsect buffs.4) Your kinsect speed no longer determines how far your kinsect flies out. Previously, slow kinsects had to be told to multiple times to fly towards a monster if it was far in order to reach it but now speed only affects flight speed.5) Your kinsect will be launched where the reticle on the screen lies. This differs from previous monster hunter games as the kinsect would fly in the direction your character was facing instead. The kinsect can now be launched in a more 3d axis as well with being able to send him high into the air or lower when on an edge. Kinsect pathing was previously completely linear to your characters position.6) There is no longer the ability to midair shoot a mark at targets.
Je suis monté!
PARDON...
RognarB good memories :,)
Merci les anglais franchement...
I am not sure if you mentioned it or not, but the dust the kinsects leave will burst if you use a flash bomb in the area

What I’m not thinking is that you could get two glave players to put a load of dust clouds on a pitted monster, when it gets up flash them to set off all the dust at once.
