    CORRECTION AND SUGGESTION CHANGE!: Hey Everyone. Apologies for this one mistake. I overlooked the poor translation - "HEALS" on kinsect does not mean amount of your health regen - It is the kinsect stamina regen speed.
    Suggestion Change: Instead of those who use recall kinsect, I would suggest POWDER KINSECT USERS to consider the lvl15 kinsect - the more powders you can produce faster, the larger your dmg will be and quicker paralysis stuns. Assist Kinsects thus have very little to no benefits from lvl15 since you usually give enough time before another heavy attack.
    Complete oversight on my part. Thank you to those who pointed out the error in the comments. I'll do better.

    While Kinsect levels are fine, a part of me misses breeding Kinsects and get all whacky effects. I remember back in Generations I used the Ukanlos IG a lot because you could make a Kinsect that give a a whopping 30% affinity when grabbing a white extract, nullifying the negative affinity of the weapon and it was very fun to use. Things like made me wish we had nectars back, just not as convoluted as 4U

      Kinsects in general were wild back in GU, lol. On top of the speed one that gave you 30% affinity and the balance one giving party buffs, there was the attack one that allowed red extract to restore weapon sharpness every time you collected it. And then there was my personal favorite, the weight kinsect, giving you high-grade earplugs and hero armor with orange extract and adding a phial-like burst on every kinsect hit.
      Also the fact that you could pick out the exact stats you wanted for kinsects back then was pretty sweet too

    Very thorough and informative as always!
    Another interesting thing to keep in mind about the new speed kinsects is that they retain charge after awakened kinsect attack, while the chain attack versions don’t. So kinsect throw with kinsect slash as a follow up can do about 150 extra damage with foliacath compared to grancathar on a high element weapon.

    Very informative as always! I'm not a particularly good IG user, but I've been messing around with speed kinsects just for fun and I've found something interesting.
    Speed kinsects do extra damage when doing kinsect slash if they are changed in the same way they would do it if you were to just send them flying to attack the monster, right? Well, not really. Apparently, kisect slash interacts in an interesting way with "chain attack" kinsects. Usually, they do a bunch of smaller attacks instead of a big one. However, with kinsect slash, they do a big attack (comparable to that of other "charged" speed kinsects) and they they follow up with their chain attack. I've done some quick testing in the training room and I've found that chain-attack kinsects consistently do the highest damage when doing aerial combos because of this charged attack.
    I know that speed kinsects are considered pretty much a meme, but I thought it was a cool interaction and I would love to hear what more experienced IG users think!

Diving Wyvern does more damage than awakened kinsect attack and imo is WAY easier to set up- you just need to dodge away from a monster and you'll always be able to easily jump back in with kinsect slash. why are people acting as though Awakened Kinsect doesn't do half the damage of Diving Wyvern for a more complex set up requiring you to be vulnerable on the ground? am I going crazy here?

      Haven't tested partbreaker myself honestly but given most skills don't work, I'll assume it doesn't. I'll give it a check sometime this week and get back if I find anything

      For non-element, any of the blunt kinsects work well. Deciding which one kinda comes down to play style in my opinion. speed will get you KOs very quick, Powder will deal good dmg, but also get KOs and Paralysis stuns, Assist will take longer to get a KO but its the least hassle, easy to keep your buffs up with the new bonus, and still adds good dmg

      The stats are irrelevant since its based on kinsect level and they are close enough its not a gamechanger. (literally the only difference would be a few points in speed power or heal based on rarity)
