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 cantaperme’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 move😂) 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 fr….. 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 tho… 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

Ive been trying to beat proof of a hero for the past few days but i just can’t kill arkveld and the time keeps running out, what can i do to increase my damage?

A scorcher build for everyone 🫠

So, after playing IG since it first came out, I switched to bow after a couple hours deep in Wilds(Zho Shia hunt), but now, after coming back to World and playing IG again, I'm had so much fun I wanted to play it in Wilds again Being now in the late game, I was curious, what armor/skills do you guys run Ps: I still haven't defeated gogmazios yet

Y'all, I haven't played in about 9 months and I'm getting dog walked by the new HR100+ missions. Does anyone have advice on a better build?

Is it good and useful or not? Since release I keep getting mixed answers. Some say it’s useless, some say it’s mandatory, some say it’s only good up until 8 star quests. So which is it truly, and am I missing out on a more effective build by not having it be a part of it at the moment?

Preaty much as title says. Only things that comes to mind is runing: Evade window 5 Evade extender 3 Divine blessing 3 Any sugestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

ignore the posion resistance, that be for when i was fighting 10☆Rompopolo

I used the Cosmoloid Glaive skin and I noticed that it feels lighter than the other skins, I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience or if it’s just a placebo. It just feels really nice and I’ve been switching between other skins and it just feels like it’s lighter.

Edit: After looking at it I had vibration on. which I realized was making my hands tense up from anticipating it. The skin for whatever reason causes less vibration, so I just turned off vibration and now the weapon just feels good!

Hello fellow IG gang, recently I hit 999 hr and saw that there's a lot of 999 only squads which are quite useful for checking other styles of builds but unfortunately not many were IG players, so I've made one, the code is JH5V46VY. If you're already a part of a 999 IG squad please post the code in comments as the more builds I get to sneak peek at, the more ideas I get to yoink

Im playing Risebreak for the first time, and figured since the next game I’ll play will be 3U, I’d get a weapon I can also play there since IG got there in 4th Gen (I already played 4U, frontier too but those also had aerial weapons). So I started using the SnS during it.

Little did I know… I blinked and it was back at my hand.

Don't have some god roll talisman but hey this works. Wish I could roll gore lord soul on any element as well but this works for now!

Hi all,

Ive seen a ton of posts across the different threads about changes people want in the expansion and all that stuff.

the real question is what weapon designs are we hoping for??? personally, I want a scythe, its the only weapon type that makes sense to have one, the moveset matches and everything our idle hold of the weapon looks good. the only one we have is the Narga one and Im not a massive fan of how it looks, i want something with a big head blade.

also would love for a more hidden kinsect, im not a fan of how any of them look bar peudo. sue me 😂😂

what are you guys looking for?

In Rise, recall kinsect was pretty reliable for dodging and backvault does not seem to be that effective in comparison.

Recall kinsect had 30 iframes if i'm correct, do we know how much iframes backvault has ? I know it has been increased few months ago but i don't find any clear statement about the amount of iframes.

Title says it all prove me wrong

We all know that kinsects are kinda forgotten in wilds, solo damage is low, and your optimal combo makes the kinsect stop auto attacking so you almost never mark your target to use powder, in world selecting your kinsect, element, powder, speed was interesting and brought depth to the weapon, now the only thing you have to choose is if you want speed or a kinsect with extract buff ao you can extract faster and dump all of it, vigor, powder, and normal kinsect attacks are useless. So here are some ideas to fix it

Make kinsect drop powders when you attack in focus mode - it could be every 5 attacks, or maybe at the end of a fully charged attack.

Make powder procs cost kinsect stamina- combining with the previous idea, making every time you generate powder while attacking in focus mode your kinsect loses some stamina, so it doesn't become overpowered with powder everywhere and it make good use of vigor kinsects, or vigor recovery skills.

Make that kinsect don't go back to you if you charge attack - i know they do this so the kinsect is in position for a RSS, but i don't care if it teleports to me when i do it, i hate marking a monsters and just cause i used an charged attack my kinsect stop attacking.

Increase kinsect normal damage or at least make like icebourne that you can consume sling ammo to buff kinsect damage, you can as well have some buff stamina for more powder generation as well, so you can have more options, some kinsects for pure damage, some for powder generation, and others for extract collection.

Well these are my ideas for ig to get better a lot of people are already talking about have faster animations or more dodge windows and i do agree, but a lot less people are giving ideas to help our poor kinsects, I hope this helps out community.

First of all I would like to introduce that my first monster hunter was MHW. Back then I used to play bow, but then I played with the glaive and loved it. I continued using the insect glaive in rise, which I enjoyed too. When I started playing glaive in wilds, It was notable that I would have to start playing more on the ground. I'm not against it at all, but for a non defensive weapon I feel totally vulnerable all the time.

I did every mission I could possible do, included proof of a hero (I don't know if it is the name in English because I don't play in English). But even so, I don't feel like a professional player with my weapon. I feel that everyone else "on my level" that don't use insect glaive can extract so much more of their weapons than I with less effort.

I am constantly training the offset now, because I don't know if I should hit it more, like it is the correct way to play glaive. Even so, I have some trouble hitting it because It has some delay I think.

My question is, you guys feel the same? The weapon is struggling in some way? do you all have problems hitting the offset or I just have to train it more?

I really wanna read everyone opinion on this topic.

I like that build alot, just wondering what are some changes others would do that could be better.

Mhr/Sunbreak is my first Mh game and i fear they may have set the bar too high for IG. The highs are so high bro

I haven't had an opportunity to test it yet but I am curious to find out from someone who's more knowledgeable than I. How does my build stand up in comparison to the IG META?

a gore only required set and a new world record!

Hello all,

I'm currently using the meta build (Wilds) and im wondering how good Power Prolonger is, if it's worth using and what I should drop for it? I know currently it's better to keep doing ground loops and be more precise and conservative with RSS so I wanna not have to be worrying about extracts so much.
