ill be honest i've seen so many kinsect glaivers. and they focus on just comboing the crap out of the monster instead of mounting it to make us all dish out the DDs while it's knocked over. and this is since IGs existed. finally someone showing a tutorial about how to use this properly
How many times can you actually mount in the match ? 1 or 2 plus mounting can be triggered right away by vaulting and triangle or quick attack . The problem here is the games change with weakness exploit theback has no hitzones . But today as many people still think why not play Lonsword if we are gonna stick to the ground news flash it's because it doesn way more damage than the longsword played correctly and has neutral evade . Lonsgsword has slower equal attacks and the we also have the same version of the helm splitter and can do it continuously if they wanted . So IG should be staying on the ground because they crowd control anything
Great tutorial. I was really struggling with using this weapon optimally and this really opened that up for me. I can't stop using this weapon thanks to this vid. :)
Without this video I would've never realized how good Insect Glaive is, honestly throughout my entire playthrough I used this video and your Combos for Efficient Hunting vid. They helped me a ton. Thank you!
Definitely recommend to always try to go for power/spirit Kinsect bonus, and pair it with the Gleambeetle III Medis, one for each element paired with the respective elemental power/spirit glaive. The power and spirit bonus also extends the duration of your extracts, so it removes the need for power prolonger. Also if you mark the head, it will most often grab red - if you're mostly running red+white extract without orange the bug will automatically return red to you and refresh the buff. Good guide mate, well done
From what i know, the only way to refresh buffs is fighting with red/white and when you are running out, apply orange. That refreshes the timer in all of them. While you have 2 or 3 buffs and get only one, doesnt refresh any of them. Im an IG main and I REALLY WANNA BE WRONG HERE.
@@julianmorales5985 like I said, when fighting with just red and white, any time you recall red or white it will refresh the existing timer of that respective extract. You can recall orange ofc for the triple up buff but I often don't really do this personally unless I'm in multiplayer and need that trip resistence. I find it more beneficial to keep the head marked, slinger buffed Kinsect and get decent KOs, damage over time, extra blast while keeping my combos up with just red and white. That way I never really have to manually get extracts except occasionally white. I main IG too, it's been my favourite weapon since it was released. Proudly sitting at about 8500 hunts with it.
I'm pretty late but great video! Love the new intro and the M&K controls. Most videos are with a controller so you always need to convert them. As others said in the comments, I think showing an overlay would be nice for keybinds
Yess I can't wait to show my next one with the controls on screen! I also always had to do convert controls in my head when I watched those videos haha. I'm sure the onscreen will help!
The move that does blunt damage is the move that marks the monster for your kinsect to attack. The rest don’t do blunt damage, save for the dive move I think, but idk for sure. If you enter the marking move into the infinite combo, like after the heavy or before the flip back, it’ll add a bit of blunt damage so you can ko the monster more . Haven’t tested it out but should combo decently well
Hey I know this comments late but you helped me out as I played 4u insect glaive but mhw made it seem bad but this video helped people show how strong it can be
Was maining HBG and I was stuck on the pink rathian for the longest time. Saw this video and started over with the IG and man did I have an easier time. Great video and thanks for the tips was really helpful
Really dig it but I personally would like a pop up of the moves buttons as you introduce them. You don't have to talk them out (but just a pop up at the beginning) just a reminder for people like me who are like '...endless combos... I can do that? How?' because I'm a dumb-ass who panics and just button mashes ^^; As for what helped me, I think towards the end I got the most out of the video. I totally didn't know about the boosts on the glaives themselves being tied to kinsects! Showing the best kinsects/glaives and why was really helpful. Also what do you think of kinsect charging which came out with Icebourne? I haven't figured out how to do in game yet ^^;
Hey! Thank you so much for the feedback :) I'm glad it was helpful! the button popup seems like a great idea! I'll add it for the next one :D The kinsect charging I did talk about a bit in the video, I think its super useful! If you're on PC, the controls are V + Left and Right mouse click. But ya the charging is really helpful, the damage buff doubles your kinsect damage, the stamina doubles how long the bug attacks. Its great for stacking the kinsect effects! :) Is there any particular weapon you want to see next?
@@SkySenseiVB I just tried it and it is awesome! You were right! Umm ... I am trying to learn Lance because I suck at glaive against tank hitters like Diablos. So that one would be cool ^^
@@achibrucie9862 That's awesome! Glad to hear it worked wooo :D Glaive takes a bit to learn since its so different but keep at it you got this! I'll work on a Lance one for sure. Be sure to check back soon or subscribe for notifications :)
Edit: Appears I messed up the mounting description! Its not time based, its status threshold based which differs between monsters - my bad on that one! I still think getting it off the start helps so the principal is the same but just keep in mind its based off how many mounting attacks you accumulate between mounts that determines when your next mount happens! :) Each weapon will have their own set amount of mounting status per attack. The downward spin has the most mounting status so be sure to end off every aerial attack with that or if you want to mount quick, spam the downward spiral multiple times. One more TIP asked in the comments: SLINGER AMMO. The slinger type does affect the time of the duration - theres no way to change that. From the environment, the duration is generally shorter for slingers with high ammo (so stones are the worst since you have 20 and can keep rebuffing your kinsect whereas puddlepods last longer since you only have 7. Stones last about 1:10 mins, puddle pods last about 2:00). The buff from Monster weaken drops (piercing pods, thorns etc) last the longest though since they are harder to find and less ammo but keep in mind they don't give you stamina unless you have a weapon with that kinsect bonus (roughly 5 minutes). Usage of the kinsect doesn't affect the duration of the buff. I probably should have included that briefly but in battle, you won't always have a choice for the environment. Monster buffs are all the same.
Excellent overall video. I main the Glaive but only been playing about 250 hours. Got lucky with Safi gear/weapons, but still looking to understand others play styles because mine can be improved. So what weapon can you teach us next?
Hey Spencer! Glad you liked the video :) I've done a Gunlance tutorial as well! Its improved from the IG with keyboard settings. I'm working on Lance and Switch Axe next :) Its been a busy week so one new tutorial should be coming next week :)
@@SkySenseiVB your guide was very useful, at some point I even want to become a TH-camr as well as free time hobbie, and yeah love Bleach Ulquiorra best Boi :'3 appreciate ya man ❤️
Really nice, i liked it even more because you are using your keyboard to play in general Im also a keyboard glaive user, also noticed your keybinds tho, if you use your f for target camera, what do you use to interact?
yayyy :D Next time I'll be sure to put up some visuals of my keyboard clicks. I didn't know there was such a lack of keyboard tutorials. I love playing with it! My interact is on my RMB (right mouse button). If your weapon is out, RMB is heavy hit, if you store it, its interact so it works out :). I don't use F for target camera, but moreso for slinger focus. If you aim your weapon/slinger, F becomes a toggle for the clutch claw. Thats mostly why I have F as the target camera, so I can clutch claw really fast. F is also binded to my mouse :) My aimer is on V. What do you use :D ?
@@SkySenseiVB I use tab for the toggle of the clutch claw, i have side buttons on my mouse so i use those as well:) also i click the wheel of my mouse to do the aerial finisher It's reallyconfortable to use that wheel!
Nice vid, start the game with the gleve but my heaving problems with the keybindings on keyboard mouse, specially with kinsect target and clutch claw, may u can make a video with keybindings tips or Screenshot of it?
Welcome to the channel!! Yess I'm working on a quick keybindings for Insect Glaive since I didn't include them in this video :) All further tutorials will have them :)
Quickly though for you my friend - I use V for aiming slinger / marker. V + ctrl fires the kinsect tag. V + RMC with your weapon away is clutch claw. And V + LMC is my kinsect target.
One thing I wish that would have been. Implemented in Iceborne would he to have the Kinsect have their own skill sets like they do in Generations Ultimate
Yess I need to make an updated video for Insect Glaive combos :) I'll try to get it out this week :) This was my first ever tutorial so it is a bit rougher than the others xD Keep an eye out for it this week :D
Its a new feature with Iceborne! If you have iceborne, its called the "kinsect charge" no augments needed. You'll need to be holding slinger ammo - it uses one ammo every time you charge. The controls: V + Right and Left Mouse click. If you're on controller, I'm not entirely sure but It'd be whatever button is your aimer, followed by primary and secondary attack buttons clicked together. :) Glad you liked the video!
@@timothytorres8352 Let me know what you think of the weapon when you try it!! :) I have another video as well (more updated on the best combos for IG)
Im a chargeblade user but im looking at the insect glaive. I dont have alot of mats but I have enough to upgrade to the Tyrannis 2 or thanatos. Is it worth the mats just to kind of jump into mhw?
The slinger type does affect the time of the duration - theres no way to change that.

Hey!! For Datura, a poison kinsect works well so you stack poison damage quicker. You can pick the kinsect you want based on the stats. Some people like the really high speed kinsects, while some like the slower, but higher power ones. If you're looking to stack poison, I would look at blunt, low speed, high power kinsects. Gleambeetle III Velox may be a good choice for you :)
How do you do the Aerial finisher? Because Air + triangle and does the one thats spins directly downwards and Air + circle is the one that makes you basically fly
Umm I'm not too sure of controllers. On Pc, its the CTRL button, the start of the vault combo. Quick look up shows R2 for PS4 controller? while you're in the air :) Try it out!
@@Icecreaam97 You will need the red kinsect buff. I'm fairly sure its the R2 button (someone told me the block button?) For keyboard, after jumping, its the ctrl button.
@@JReiko3003 Maybe your settings changed? I'd go into the keybindings and just set your "special weapon action" to ctrl. Thats the button that does the descending thrust
You can only do it if you have iceborne firstly. The attack is just the simple jump. Sky has it Ctrl + Space. Once you're in the air, just CTRL to perform the thrust
Its the kinsect boost that uses slinger ammo :) I believe it came with Iceborne so you need to have the dlc to use it. If you have that, in any hunt, you'll need to have slinger ammo and hit V + Both mouse buttons. I talk about the slinger ammo differences in the video
Hey!! I'm doing an update for IG with Kulve and Safi :) For Kulve, check out my recent video on the Kjarr King. I show the build there. You can use that for most Kjarr weapons, just changing the element jewels :)
How do I use the descending thrust. I've been using IG for a little but for some reason it doesn't allow me to. I don't even get the pop up in the top right corner for it when I'm in air.
Hii :) Umm make sure you have the red boost. You won't be able to perform the jump without it. It should be CTRL when you're in the air. My keybindings are in the description
I use some mouse buttons, two particularly. One for a radial wheel with all my quick crafts, the other for my targeting! This was my first tutorial video so I forgot to include keybindings. If you'd like to see them, they are here: twitter.com/skysenseivb/status/1282779381157568520
Insect Glaive is a fun and easy weapon to learn :) Its also requires less experience with weapon positioning! Charge blade takes a bit to learn, its much stronger than IG, but it does require some practice with position. I'm making a charge blade guide this week so if you want to try them, it'll be there for you :)
Sorry really old video, I didn't write a script for this one back then. I pinned a comment with the updated changes. Mounting doesn't have a limit, its based on the mount dmg you do. That threshold just increases each time you get a mount. Getting 5 is possible, but you lose a lot of dmg getting there since ground attacks do more dmg than aerial. :) My apologies for the confusion!
For starting and midgame - its great. The affinity really helps since most low builds have less jewel slots but once you get to end game, the attack is too low. You can't add custom augments and IG is better to have at least one health booster augment. Safi armour as well gives you a 40% affinity boost so if you run any element IG, you don't need high affinity on the blade since Safi gives 40, Tenderized gives you another 30 - 50, agitator gives 10, and usually the blades have between 10 - 20. :)
His tail has 2 parts I believe - so you have to chip away at it. Don't use the flying aerial attack - it doesn't do as much damage. Try the downward spin or thurst. Best would be if you knock him, do a couple ground slashes to damage and then end with a downward thrust to break the tail :)
Oh thanks!!! tried it on MR kushala and it worked!! I also witnessed some kinsect tail cutting hahahaha i was shooting my kinsect to attack rathalos’s tail and it got cut 😂
Blunt boost? Can you be more specific here? Blunt kinsects cause blunt DMG whenever they hit the monster. I believe one of the attacks of the bread and butter combo has some blunt DMG from the insect glaive, but that's about it for blunt DMG.
@@SkySenseiVB yeah endgame insect glaive build with safi full set armor i play currently with safi full armor set with constitution 5 recovery up 3 critical eye 7 power prolonger 3 is that good kinsect bonus strenght& stamina
@@apinanpro2816 Recovery up is decent, usually vitality is better to use as it extends your health so you can take more damage, rather than have to heal quicker. You may benefit from that given safi armour hurts your health. Crit eye is perfect :) I would look into getting some agitator on the build. Agitator (Challenger jewel) is excellent, maybe replace some constitution. IG doesn't use too much stamina. PP is perfect, you may not even need lvl 3, 2 is good enough.
@@phil5997 At the weapon smith, you can buy weapons and armour, in his menu, the "change equipment" you can set which armour and wepaons you want and then save the build there. After that, you'll want to add "decorations" to your armour. Then save the build once again :)
SkySensei sorry i think i worded it wrong incorrectly. how do u know what armor pieces to use for a good insect glacé build. like what stats do u aim for?
You have to include that as part of TH-cam's system. The following timestamps don't work without a start. Unless the updated recently, this is a couple months old.
theres a lot of misinformation here. Bug buffs, aerial values, combo suggestions. Whole lot of innacurate stuff. Happy to see more IG content but doing proper research before making a guide should be a priority in the future.

Hey!! For Datura, a poison kinsect works well so you stack poison damage quicker. You can pick the kinsect you want based on the stats. Some people like the really high speed kinsects, while some like the slower, but higher power ones. If you're looking to stack poison, I would look at blunt, low speed, high power kinsects. Gleambeetle III Velox may be a good choice for you :)
@@SkySenseiVB ty very much ! thanks a lots to take the time to write this detailled explanation ;)
How do you do the Aerial finisher? Because Air + triangle and does the one thats spins directly downwards and Air + circle is the one that makes you basically fly
Umm I'm not too sure of controllers. On Pc, its the CTRL button, the start of the vault combo. Quick look up shows R2 for PS4 controller? while you're in the air :) Try it out!
@@SkySenseiVB I tried with control and nothing happened :( Do you need to do something special or is it just being in the air + CTRL?
@@Icecreaam97 You will need the red kinsect buff. I'm fairly sure its the R2 button (someone told me the block button?) For keyboard, after jumping, its the ctrl button.
@@SkySenseiVB my CTRL just open the communication shortcut after jump lol
@@JReiko3003 Maybe your settings changed? I'd go into the keybindings and just set your "special weapon action" to ctrl. Thats the button that does the descending thrust
i thought kinsect buffs was based on the part of the body you hit? so red buff=head white buff=feet yellow buff=body/tail?
5:01
I still dont get how to do this spike attack (on pc). SOME1 HELP ME OUT PLZ!
You can only do it if you have iceborne firstly. The attack is just the simple jump. Sky has it Ctrl + Space. Once you're in the air, just CTRL to perform the thrust
@@StrikeThawe thanks bro
With ig you should be using ur mounts effectively while maintaining dps if playing for quick times and for fun spam aerials XD
How Did You Move Ur Kinsect Fly Around Ur Body? I Play On Pc And Dont Have New Buff Kinsect Or Is It Becuz My Mr Level Or The Kinsect Need Up Max Lvl?
Its the kinsect boost that uses slinger ammo :) I believe it came with Iceborne so you need to have the dlc to use it. If you have that, in any hunt, you'll need to have slinger ammo and hit V + Both mouse buttons. I talk about the slinger ammo differences in the video
Ur dlc mean?
@@morganthien2575 The iceborne dlc yes
how about light break press with 930 damage with 180blast seems to be a good all around weapon
What about the safi and kulve weapons
Hey!! I'm doing an update for IG with Kulve and Safi :) For Kulve, check out my recent video on the Kjarr King. I show the build there. You can use that for most Kjarr weapons, just changing the element jewels :)
How do I use the descending thrust. I've been using IG for a little but for some reason it doesn't allow me to. I don't even get the pop up in the top right corner for it when I'm in air.
Hii :) Umm make sure you have the red boost. You won't be able to perform the jump without it. It should be CTRL when you're in the air. My keybindings are in the description
How do I get your keyboard layout, mine is weirdly uncomfortable as it includes my mouse buttons whenever I use it.
I use some mouse buttons, two particularly. One for a radial wheel with all my quick crafts, the other for my targeting!
This was my first tutorial video so I forgot to include keybindings. If you'd like to see them, they are here: twitter.com/skysenseivb/status/1282779381157568520
should i try the insect glaive or charged blade? i’m a new player and i want to find my main weapon. just want something good, fun, and cool
Insect Glaive is a fun and easy weapon to learn :) Its also requires less experience with weapon positioning! Charge blade takes a bit to learn, its much stronger than IG, but it does require some practice with position. I'm making a charge blade guide this week so if you want to try them, it'll be there for you :)
SkySensei thank you! i’ll subscribe and keep an eye out for it
I didn't know there was a mounting limit, i once had 5 mounts in a quest, now in the GL it's just a regular Tuesday
Sorry really old video, I didn't write a script for this one back then. I pinned a comment with the updated changes. Mounting doesn't have a limit, its based on the mount dmg you do. That threshold just increases each time you get a mount. Getting 5 is possible, but you lose a lot of dmg getting there since ground attacks do more dmg than aerial. :) My apologies for the confusion!
What do you think about the "cruelty" insect glaive, I know it has low base damage but comes with 35% affinity out of the gate?
For starting and midgame - its great. The affinity really helps since most low builds have less jewel slots but once you get to end game, the attack is too low. You can't add custom augments and IG is better to have at least one health booster augment. Safi armour as well gives you a 40% affinity boost so if you run any element IG, you don't need high affinity on the blade since Safi gives 40, Tenderized gives you another 30 - 50, agitator gives 10, and usually the blades have between 10 - 20. :)
The only problem with Descending Thrust is that i dont know how to aim them 😅
How do u get the aerial finisher?
Its part of Iceborne :) Once you have that, you should be able to execute it. On keyboard, while in the air you simply hit CTRL
Hey guys, ive been trying to cut some tails with the glaive but havent had any luck, how do you properly cut the tail of a monster with glaive?
His tail has 2 parts I believe - so you have to chip away at it. Don't use the flying aerial attack - it doesn't do as much damage. Try the downward spin or thurst. Best would be if you knock him, do a couple ground slashes to damage and then end with a downward thrust to break the tail :)
Oh thanks!!! tried it on MR kushala and it worked!! I also witnessed some kinsect tail cutting hahahaha i was shooting my kinsect to attack rathalos’s tail and it got cut 😂
Ahh i never knew that ig has blunt damage so those ramdom stun was not the game bugging out
How do you do the aerial spike/finisher? I'm on pc and don't know how to perform this
umm first thing to check is if you have the DLC. That move was unlocked when they released the IceBorne DLC ^__^
@@SkySenseiVB ah okay, I just bought the game Saturday, I also got iceborn however didn't install it yet as I just unlocked master hunts
@@SkySenseiVB ah okay, I just bought the game Saturday, I also got iceborn however didn't install it yet as I just unlocked master hunts
So the stamina boost for my kinsect i can only get when my weapon offers this buff?
Yes - each specific weapon has a unique buff. Safi weapons you can roll for a different buff. But all the others, they have a prebuilt buff.
One simple question how do you put it on your character
Put what? If you mean the kinsect, when you select weapon, you can also tab over and select the kinsect you want ^_^
I’ve been looking everywhere on how to do the vault and u just realized it’s not set to ctrl it’s set to one of my mouse buttons
rooSuffer >< Thats an odd keybind o__O Maybe it was by accident!
@@SkySenseiVB the game made it that idk why tho guess they just like to see me suffer
What software are you using to record? Your gameplay looks so nice?
Sorry I missed this! I use Nvidia shadowplay to record :)
how blunt boost work on insect glaive?
Blunt boost? Can you be more specific here? Blunt kinsects cause blunt DMG whenever they hit the monster. I believe one of the attacks of the bread and butter combo has some blunt DMG from the insect glaive, but that's about it for blunt DMG.
Do you make a insect glaive build i play insect glaive now and i want do a build?
Would you like a video on a specific build? I can do that :) I usually show them on my stream :) twitch.tv/skysenseivb
@@SkySenseiVB yeah endgame insect glaive build with safi full set armor i play currently with safi full armor set with constitution 5 recovery up 3 critical eye 7 power prolonger 3 is that good kinsect bonus strenght& stamina
@@apinanpro2816 Recovery up is decent, usually vitality is better to use as it extends your health so you can take more damage, rather than have to heal quicker. You may benefit from that given safi armour hurts your health. Crit eye is perfect :) I would look into getting some agitator on the build. Agitator (Challenger jewel) is excellent, maybe replace some constitution. IG doesn't use too much stamina. PP is perfect, you may not even need lvl 3, 2 is good enough.
@@SkySenseiVB ok then i should use the raging brachydios armor set because agitator lv 7 have i when full armor equippet.
@@apinanpro2816 Yeahh its a great armour! The Buff body armour is also really good :)
can u make a build guide?
I do need to make more build videos :) I have a nice fire build thats actually perfect for Alatreon too on my channel :) The Kjarr king!
SkySensei goat🙏🏾
SkySensei also how do i make a build
@@phil5997 At the weapon smith, you can buy weapons and armour, in his menu, the "change equipment" you can set which armour and wepaons you want and then save the build there. After that, you'll want to add "decorations" to your armour. Then save the build once again :)
SkySensei sorry i think i worded it wrong incorrectly. how do u know what armor pieces to use for a good insect glacé build. like what stats do u aim for?
be helpfall if you say the key binding u use for keyboard
How do you do an ariel finisher on mouse and keyboard
edit, never mind im a dumbass
I call my build the kinect mystic who does not use the glave
I dunno, just spam everything and you'll realize that you're already killing it
"0:00 Start" worlds greatest lie
You have to include that as part of TH-cam's system. The following timestamps don't work without a start. Unless the updated recently, this is a couple months old.
theres a lot of misinformation here. Bug buffs, aerial values, combo suggestions. Whole lot of innacurate stuff.
Happy to see more IG content but doing proper research before making a guide should be a priority in the future.
I had to laugh at "...and it can break parts, as you can see!" Every attack can break parts lmfao. You can cut tails with a boomerang ffs.
Work on your pronunciation skills as you eat up lots of the letters and I have very hard time understanding what you are saying
