I took this build from a video in YouTube, and even if I like it, I dont like at all the all grounded playstyle. I like Evade Extender cuz I can move A LOT mid air, and honestly I deeply enjoy attacking in the air mainwhile I charge my attack, but I found that I dont take all the advantage to Maximum Might for doing that, so I was wondering what could be a better buidl for that.

Another thing is, I dont undertand at all th stuff from elemental damage and raw damage, but wich would be the best for the Insect Glaive?

Also, I would like to use Scaling Prowress cuz, how I said, I like to play in the air a lot, but I think its an abilite that just Seregios alfa armor have, and tbh I dont think Insect Glaive take advantage at all from the abilites of that set. But its possible that and "optimal" build could have that ability?

So, anyway, I would like to hear your recomendations for a build, I would be pretty greateful.

And one last thing, wich would be the best weapon to match Insect Glaive. I main the weapon, but I would like to use anothe one as a second, so, I was thinking in Double Blades since have a similar playstyle (or at least how sometimes I play IG haha), or maybe Charge Blade cuz I like the pizza cutter haha, or just go Sword and Shield cuz I like Omega Planetes weapon haha.

Anyways, thankyou beforehand. ❤️

I recently got good enough to solo all the ATs, and i wanna make a stronger build, my main is IG but i also use bow quite frequently so i tried to make something for both, and I play with friends who want wounds very often (and will not hesitate to get them). Any advice on what i should use in this scenario?

rate my drip

I have some stuff memorized from mhr when I was a helicopter there

Im playing through base wilds again on pc for the first time, and tried challenging myself to do guardian arkveld with no ui, no items, no palico, no carts, semi unoptimized armor (this was with 3 hirabami for evade window level 3 and then 2 starter armor pieces to have it be as low armor as possible). The first time I played through wilds I had similar rules (I could use normal UI and I had more optimized armor and weapon though), and I wasn't good enough to be able to do guardian arkveld with insect glaive. Honestly they were one of the hardest 1st time monsters for me and took a week to complete, I had to use hunting horn (my other main) with a heal echo bubble to be able to do it. This time I decided to try doing it with insect glaive, my normal main since I have since improved, but decided to get rid of being able to have UI and worse armor to raise the stakes. In the end this was my first successful run, but I had other ones that were a lot flashier with different offsets but I ended up carting before finishing. Overall guardian/ arch tempered arkveld with insect glaive is maybe my favorite hunt of all time.

I've always had this habit of falling in love with the monsters I struggle with the most. I used to avoid Gore and Arkveld like the plague, they just felt poorly designed for glaive in Wilds, they're prolly my most hunted monsters now. I just decided to stop internally complaining about them and just learn them, and they both became my favs just like barioth and tigrex in world from the same method. Anybody else experience the same thing?

I know a lot of us have favorite iterations, but through the games weapons have inherited things from other weapons (a lot of the LS kit) or reintroduced them (SnS) so combining and bringing back or shacking features how would you do your Perfect Insect Glaive?

Myself it would be:

- Valor State glaive from GenU being the triple up buff, gaining the dash instead of the dodge.

- The Meatiness of World Glaive

- The charge philosophy of SunRise glaive, with each combo adding more damage to the finisher

- The assist kinsect from rise but with the mimicking at a distance behavior of Wilds

- Powder behaviour and Powder combo being more developed like in Ascendance and having a combo weaving behavior similar to other weapons

- Do it away with pheromone shot and the residual gunner Identity of the weapon (like the reticle) charged kinsect launch would be a upgrade to sending kinsect forward like pheromone shot, have it control like GU based on player perspective and or camera alignment.

- amplifying kinsect list and customization (some monster exclusive ones wouldn't hurt, like a Zinogre one or a Vespoid one)

- Aerial and Grounded needs to be a rotation like Switch Axe, Aerial helping with movement and maybe some perfect aerial dodges, and helping with extract gathering, and the ground option being the damage dealing one that doesn't last forever and needs to be restocked (optimally Aerial would be the optimized way to engage and gather extracts or to to defend and weave and dodge)

- FINISHERS! Most weapons now have gained a finishing damage burst type of move, and with RSS we do have that, but it doesn't loop correctly, nor does it flow you toward using the non boosted move set, it just makes you grab triple up again. Ideally RSS should be after a stronger Tornado Slash, like it is to Descending Trust in the air so the flow would be more like: Grab Extract, looping Tornado Slash combo, and when you're about to run out do RSS that gets you airborne and let's you combo aerial moves off of it better to gather extracts and DT back to ground moves.

- Movement! A lot of weapons got more and more movement options as MH evolves, Glaive is no strange to that, but I would like moves that aren't disconnected from the main weapons attacks! Backwards vault combos into other moves and I wish the other movement options did as well, maybe mid a powder/pheromone combo doing the backwards vault would give you the Recall Kinsect thing of Rise and so on!

What are y'all's thoughts and do you have a wishlist for this weapon like I do?

Is it just me, or do other people miss world ig, I feel like every time I use it in wilds it just sucks, I know it has a bigger moveset or whatever but its never as fun and I miss the world ig and honestly most of the world weapon movesets.

The bug killed him lol

Really proud of myself with this one. I've come a long way since this: https://www.reddit.com/r/InsectGlaive/comments/1oi32wz/am_i_insect_glaiving_well_enough_to_join_the/

Amazing how Glaive no-sells so many of Fatalis's attacks.

I'm going to have a full video of the hunt up on my YouTube channel Friday, but I think I've come a long way since I first posted here - https://www.reddit.com/r/InsectGlaive/comments/1oi32wz/am_i_insect_glaiving_well_enough_to_join_the/

Having one attack that works as a descending finisher capitalizing on surrounding dust stuck to the monster could really make the dust payoff more worth it and a viable option compared to RSS spam. Also would allow us to NOT consume our extracts and keep attacking

This could have replaced rising leaping slash entirely
