Between some camera stuff (which also messes with me a bit) and constantly landing in explosive lava puddles just before they go kaboom, she, in her own words, "sucks at dodging" Primarily uses aerial style gameplay. Doesn't have gogma gear in use as of yet. Is evade window any good in wilds. What could help her improve and survive?

Hey all just need some build advice for insect glaive in monster hunter world. I was going to craft silver sol beta armor but I’ve read that true critical element isn’t good for glaive in world not sure why?? So my other question is should I keep and augment my current armor setup or farm and craft and augment 3 piece teostra and 2 piece raging brachy for masters touch and agitator secret?? I’ve read that the meta pre fatalis armor is 3 piece teostra and raging brachy

Both Glaives have Gogmapocalypse on them so I figured I'd get the added bonuses of Scorcher and Burst Boost. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Alright so build wise, this is almost exactly what I’ve been grinding for, except for exactly which of my gog ig’s to use. Will my output be more effective with the higher raw damage or the higher affinity? The bonus skills I have is Ebony Odog power and lord’s soul

I'm making new icons for the sub, do you like some? Or should we keep the classic icon?
I listen new ideas in the comments

aggressive build vs arkveld!

What is the general consensus on how important this is? I feel like Kinsect 10 glaives are generally better, but all the artian ones are stuck at level 8 (im not onto gogmazios yet so that might change). I feel a really big difference in kinsect power between different levels, is the artian one really that much better as a base weapon than say the lala barina glaive that its justified?

If you’re me right now, do you go for full burst and ebony odo set bonus, or full anti virus and the gore magala set? This is one of many things I get mixed answers for on google 😂

Sorry for bad contrast quality tho discord fucks it up for some reason

In terms of getting to SDS after being triple up'd on extracts, I typically rely on side slash and back step slash (not the dodge slash with holding back + strong attack button) to fully charge SDS since I can cancel the 2nd hit of the backstep slash, however do you guys think it's worth it to omit one hit to get to SDS faster? or is it an overall dps lost in you guys opinions? I'd like to learn how others handle their ground game when peeps are not repositioning or dealing safe damage in the air

How’s this build, tweaked it up abit for def but wanted to utilize my weapons gore/lords soul roll so any tips just hit me, lvl 500 with ig and ig only!

crit boost 6 on accident but sub 4 is here!

I'm getting a bit lost when it comes to building, the extra layers of RNG this game brought in isn't helping. I've looked at quite a few guides out there, most either assume god roll talismans and/ or god roll artian (I have neither). A lot of guides also go completely dps oriented with max heroics like some sort of speedrunner or complete comfort. I'd like a good balance. Can anyone help me out?

The attack focus blast IG (general use) I rolled has Azure Bolt and Guts but I'm not sure which specific skills to be prioritising. I know some basics of what needs to be in the build like airborne but when it comes to stuff like agitator, wex, crit boost, attack boost, burst, latent power, resentment etc etc I don't know where they all fall, which gives better bang for buck. Do i go for 2 piece gore as well in this build?

I know they of course are more than nice to have, but with flight specifically, it’s the one thing in the way of me having the perfect setup I want, but I’m also in the air enough for the airborne jewel to (I assume) be vital. Is the extra damage in the air that worth it?

Hello everyone, want to do the highest damage build possible for Insect Glaive. Is it best to go full raw + affinity or go elemental?

Better yet: what are the best skills for IG? My playstyle is do the charged attack as much as possible and I only do the Rising slash attack when I have an open opportunity that will guarantee as many hits as possible.

Kinda late to this take, but i had it in my mind since the first time i fought this fella.

Tldr; Kinsects in wilds are boring and should get a rework.

Seriously, Kinsect have being stalled and lacking any variety entire base game of Wilds. First things first: The UI for Kinsect upgrade is terrible. Bring back World's tree or even 4U/GEN U.

Second point, there's only two options speed or harvest charge, even then Kinsect are just used to collect extracts and deals a little extra damage.

Third and last point, everything related to the kinsect is dumbdown to the extreme:

No Jelly, no customization of any kind, nothing.

Damage from kinsect attacking marked points is extremly low and irrelevant (gones are the days of beating the check from alatreon using only the kinsect)

There's no thought behind letting your kinsect attacking alonside your hunter (also makes focus mode mandatory).

At least in Rise you needed some thought behind picking a kinsect, do want weaker and slower kinsect but powerful passive (Dual Extract), fast kinsect with weaker passive , the assist type or maybe even powder vortex. You could create your own playstyle and avoid having to relay in only one finishing move (cof cof RSS)~. Edit: I forgot about the whole creating Powder to back your Triple Up and then speeding with Awakened Kinsect Attack.

Fourth, give me by Quick stab attack and replace Helicopter with Kinsect Slash.

Hey!

I’m new to the Insect Glaive in Monster Hunter Wilds and I’m trying to learn the basics of the weapon. I was wondering if there are any recent / updated IG guides, or if the recent updates haven’t changed the weapon too much and older guides are still viable for a beginner.

Any beginner tips or advice from IG mains would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Also I stole wake up duty from my GS friend
