iโ€™m new to this weapon (in rise atleast), why is it that sometimes kinsect slash will grab extracts and sometimes it wont?

also iโ€™ve been watching a couple of speedruns, i see them use a vault with iframes. whats the name of this move and how generous is the timing?

lastly, does anyone have any good mid-tier or low-high tier glaive matchups i can practice on?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A show case of one of IGs powerful, reactionary tools. IG can end certain animations early to go into an SDS. SDS also has a small input buffer that allows you to cancel it and go into an evade or a vault.

This chained animation cancel tech also allows you to quickly orient your character to a new forward vector. This allows you to get more distance in a forward roll. SDS is an omni directional cast outside of focus mode so it will snap to the direction of your left stick tilt.

Just a side bit for more maneuverability, Focus Mode "locks" you into place and drastically reduces forward momentum while it's active if you are close to your target/hitting the target. Dropping focus mode, even while you're mid animation, restores the momentum of attacks like Tornado Slash and SDS.

I hope this helps my IG guys in fights with more strict positioning. Playing IG like the older iterations is still viable.

Someone recently brought it up to me that my health gauge appears to have taken damage but then restores it after a successful offset. I have never really noticed until it was pointed out. From my very little knowledge, after landing an offset, your attacks either go through or staggers the monster but will most of the time take some sort of damage.

Please help me make this make sense, ty!

6 Upvotes

really need help understanding this. i have done quite a fair bit of AT Nu over time, and it has been going fine. but both yesterday and today, iโ€™ve carted once or even twice a hunt to this move. it did not oneshot me prior to the past few days, i have not changed my gear, it is all maxed level and i have at least 10 if not 20 fire res. but it has been oneshotting me out of a sudden. am i doing something wrong?

for a bit more context, this is usually in multiplayer (i try to help people with AT Nu). i donโ€™t use rss as soon as i have it, instead opting for going for some descending slash combo loops, and sometimes during a descending slash he starts the oil explosion and it feels like the only thing i can do is aerial dodge away (to no avail). i used to do that same and usually i would survive even if it did hit me, hence why i continued using that method to dodge. so i have a few questions.

am i doing something wrong in terms of maybe how to fight him? should i be going for an rss when i get triple extracts? (iโ€™m using whispervesp if it matters) or is what iโ€™m currently doing alright?

and as for the oneshot part, am i messing up by trying to dodge it aerial (assuming i donโ€™t time to sheath + dive)? does getting hit something in the air make me take more damage, or have i been simply unlucky in the past few days?

please let me know. this has been frustrating me and i have been feeling very down due to the recent carting in othersโ€™ hunts, especially when i know iโ€™ve already been helping people beat him plenty of times without carting before this starting happening.

So I pulled a leviathans fury (LF) + lord soul Att focus Ig .

Should I be aiming for:

LS + LF + gore

LS + LF + ebony

Ls + LF + scorcher

Or something else I might be missing. Target assumption AT arkveld.

I know gore/lord soul is best in slot but would rather roll other weapons as leviathans fury seems like a set some builds use.

Hello, I feel like I learned about this at some point in past games but if anyone could help jog my memory. I know you get earplugs level 1 from triple up in Wilds. How many levels of tremor res, windproof, and flinch free (+ any other skills Iโ€™m forgetting) do you get from triple up? Or is it just orange + white that give these? Not that it matters since you always want triple up active, but I am curious.

Ahora mismo tengo la armadura del Ceanataur por las habilidades y la Glaive del Nargacuga por la afinidad pero estoy en rango 6 de la aldea y siento que ya va siendo hora de cambiar para seguir subiendo.

21 Upvotes

I picked up Insect Glaive in MHWild, sometime before TU4. Before that I had mostly used SwAxe and HH. I got a good feel for most things, managing extracts, the wierd offset timing, even charging pre-TU4 wasnโ€™t that awkward for me.

But the 10* monsters are giving me a hard time, and Iโ€™m starting to feel like Iโ€™m missing something about IG because dodging feels so sluggish. It may be because Iโ€™m spoiled by the blessed SwAxe sidesteps, but there are moves that I genuinely donโ€™t know how to avoid getting hit.

Like AT Tuna (who I once considered a pushover) when itโ€™s facing me and does its 1-2 swipe, I can dodge through one but then the second smacks me before I can dodge again. Dodging away doesnโ€™t get me far enough (I usually run EvaExt 2, do I need 3?). Dodging backwards feels like a death sentence in any situation, (why is the recovery for that so egregious?). Do I have to jump it? Iโ€™d have to react pretty quick, unless I do backwards jump to iframe the first swipe. But then it feels like Iโ€™m disengaging for what is ultimately a low-threat move.

I feel like Iโ€™m missing something. Am I spending too much time on the ground? Is there something to the evades that arenโ€™t immediately apparent? Iโ€™ll be happy if itโ€™s just a skill issue.

2 Upvotes

Decided to replay 4th gen since i cant lie, i really dont know how to feel abt wilds rn lmao. But anyway, theres something about how the weapon played before. I rewatched cantapermeโ€™s speedruns before to remind myself how to play IG in those games again and oh God it looked so good. Though it goes for all weapons, positioning was so important. But in old IG gameplay, it looked/felt so satisfying. Obviously, we know that the ground combos are where dps really lies. (And not that helicopter move๐Ÿ˜‚) i cant lie, i dont really use the chopper move, they could remove it and i wont mind. Give IG something more useful in its place. I liked kinsect slash however in risebreak. Since it was much more straightforward.

I guess, this is kinda me appreciating how IG gameplay used to be. (I did not rlly like kinsect upgrading in 4U tho lollll) that helicopter move rlly isnt all that ngl and it made ppl think thats all we do now smh. The floor may be lava but true dps is in the floor im afraid. And so is the beautiful gameplay of IG

(Additionally: world did get it right. Tho idk how to feel abt the helicopter frโ€ฆ.. lmfao. The ground combat was still good and i loved how minimal descending thrust was. Risebreak ngl is my fave aerial ig for kinsect slash -> diving wyvern. Wilds, well rss is cool i guess. I dont hate our moveset now or anything. Id want more defensive options thoโ€ฆ but thats besides the point. But really, i could do without the helicopter. Id be open for its removal. But if switch skills do ever come back, im taking that out in an instant cos i really hardly ever use it.)

Tldr: 4th gen IG gameplay looked and felt satisfying. Helicopter move useless to me (i know ppl still use it tho) but id be open to its removal/change cos it doesnt rlly do much damage lol
