Insect Glaive Combos For Efficient Hunting | PC Keyboard | Tutorial Update 

By far the best Insect Glaive PC tutorial I found in RU-vid.

Best insect glaive tutorial I've found! First time playing the game and having all the infos on attacks and combos so simple and summed up is extremely helpful. Thank you

Late to the party, picked up the game recently and was trying to figure out the combos which the video is awesome for! What I missed is that if you do the descending thrust after the vault, your next light attack is the double slash and your heavy is tornado slash instantly. For double slash tornado slash is the follow up. So you can vault, thrust, double slash, tornado slash for a gap closing damage burst and if you want to combo more you can do the jumping slash instead of the thrust as that ties in directly into the infinite combo.

Great great tutorial. 90% of the guides out there are all console controls. Glad this one exists. Awesome job!

I literally had to replay some sections multiple times because I stopped listening as I was captivated by you just owning Velkhana every time she dares to use her breath attack xD I originally played Insect Glaive way before Iceborne came out, since then I played Lance, Dual Blades, Heavy Bowgun, Bow and Hunting Horn, all quiet a lot, but now I wanted to return to Insect Glaive, so I appreciate the video. I wanna add something that can actually do tons of damage which you didn't go over. As you said the downward thrust marks the enemy at the end. But what you didn't say is that the downward thrusts mark is actually special. Once it's applied the kinsect always dashes towards the mark, through any obstacle, even right through the monster, and does damage ticks along the way. If you do this properly, so that your Kinsect dashes through a good lenght of the monster, this can actually rack up a ton of damage. I have seen people, using a kinsect with low speed and high power so that the kinsect takes longer to get through the monster, thus getting more damage ticks, literally do something like 130 times 9 just because of the kinsect flying through. It's actually a tech you can make builds around and do consistent damage. But due to the preparational nature of this, speedrunners will most likely never rely on it, but maybe use it when it offers itself up. Oh and one more thing, sending out your kinsect is actually an animation cancel, you can cancel out of half of the end lock animation of tornado slash for example if you just send out your kinsect. I know you can also roll out of it at that point, but sending out the kinsect costs no stamina, you can move in the animation and you can also instantly gather some extract with it. So overall it is just a very nice to have animation cancel.

great vid, thank you. your IG gameplay is a treat to watch

The best insect glaive guide. No competition. Thanks for such a high quality video!

Great guide friend, you helped me out so much you have no idea, cheers mate, all the best!

Amazing! This is the most understandable Insect Glaive Guide so far, very nice.

Great stuff Sky!

dude this is still good even now , ty ty ty sensei

Came back to the game after 2 years. Was struggling tons with the keybinds. Used to mainly use katana, the glaive and charge axe. But since friends are now using the other two I decided to now get back into the game we all have new accounts. Truely needed this. Cause jeez I am struggling.

coming back to world after like a year so finding this video has been very helpful

Dude!! THANK YOU!

Finally glaive controls pc ur channel is the best

Reallllyyyy good stuff

Recently picked up the Insect Glaive, used it to clap Alatreon's cheeks as I was struggling with Greatsword and fell in love. I was turned off this weapon because I thought the Kinsect was complicated but it really isn't, it's actually very intuitive. Also, the pogo stick into the downward thrust feels so satisfying! Thanks for the guide!

doubling back around to world from rise after the announcement of wilds. of course I had to get my info from the best glaive youtuber there is

Just gave the IG another chance after not touching it for more than 700 hours, man, this weapon is godlike if you use it right, I've been missing out lol.

i just started MHW and immediately drawn to the IG ,safe to say im dancing over all the monsters

You can also get green buff by marking the tail(heal)

For the BnB combo, you can perform the two middle inputs in any order. I like to do the fast four hit first, then I'll determine if I have time to complete the BnB, or if I should just go for the finish.

Finally a PC guide!!

One of my favorite weapon the insect glave

By far the insect glaive is the most fun to use out of all the weapons

Nice man, just started using keyboard in MHW and IG is now my main weapon so this video came just in time :D Do you also do gear guides for weapons? I struggle a lot with alatreon

What buffs does it give if the kinsect gets all the buffs or is charged with slinger ammo?

good video, thanks for that! quick question, do you every actively try to use the insect drill? I've never personally preferred using it since imo you waste time calling your kinsect back first and it doesn't apply dust but I'm not even endgame yet so my experience is rather small

We gonna do the top deeps combo dirty like that? vault downward thrust into tornado combo as it bypasses the filler attacks of groundbased tornado strike and makes up for the damage by being one of the heaviest hitting attacks and can hit multiple times on the way down (or for elemental gloves the downward thrust into the yyby combo) can dump out 9k damage in roughly 30 seconds since it has 2 high motion value attacks in the combo (plus the bug is a nice bonus to damage ESPECIALLY if you mastered the bug drill method and can slip it into your combos)

I was curious if you have any good combination of armour for high rank cos i am using defender armour and i just beat nerigante and was not sure whoch armour to use I also use insect glaive

Great now I just need to be accurate with my descending thrusts 😂

Just a tip, you have to have at least 1 slinger ammo to charge your bug friend. ❤

Hey, I'm a beginning player, could you share your keybinds so that I could follow your tutorial easier? :)

Emmm sir just started playing this game, can i ask u what kinsect did u use at the video ? And how it can stack red and white buff at the same time ? Thank you

Great vid, kinda hard to follow keybinds because im on ps4 but still great vid

What's this video doing in the 'FailureToReport' channel?

So if you mark the monster with the attack that summons the kinsect out, it will grab the effect from where it hits and fight it for a bit then come back to you and give you the buff?

Hello, when i press ctrl after vaulting my character doesn't do the downward thrust move. Maybe it's because of my keybindings, where can i find the "CC Aimer" keybind? Thank you!

finally not a freaking controller guide

Can you even bind buttons in ps4?

Not sure what happened with the BnB combo here, he said 9 hits, then showed 4? :| Or where am I missing it?

Oh my! I know you, the canadian steamer, I'm epsol, hi

I'd recommend against the infinite combo. Just light light heavy heavy or heavy 4

I cant do downward thrust for some reason. Does it require a skill or even Iceborne?

Hey can you do a gear load out for the IG

They really messed the IG infinite combo up u never moved forward doing it it allowed u to stay stationary while doing massive dps

Not me just using the infinite combo whenever I'm on the ground😅

what happens when you charge your kinsect? need help

What is the insect glaive the you are using ?

i cant active the downward thrust like u say ..... is it remove or ?

For some reason I cannot do the downward thrust, even while having the red buff. I vault, then press ctrl (alt mouse button 2 in my case) but nothing happens :(

Wich weapon should i go for next after insect glaive

why i cant do downward thrust even tho i try to press everything that i cant :(

im confused why cant i downward thrust? my kinsect attack is my MB4 but still whenever i have the red buff and vaulted press MB4 it doesnt do anything

What name your mod weapon

How do you do the jumping slash

I feel like the controls have changed since this video was made.

Counter point to 0:55 The aerial version of the heavy attack with the red(1) buff has a very lengthy animation, compared to when you don't have it, fighting monsters that don't give you a lot of breathing room having a quick aerial attack with it is good, uragan specialy becomes almost a joke if you don't get buff 1. Of course you lose a lot of potencial damage, specialy on the ground, but if you're dead you won't be dealing any damage anyways.

For some weird reason, I cannot perform the downward slash

Whats the best beginner kinsect?

Where even are the key binding options??

i dont understand how to do the vault attack your keybinds dont work for me

sir how to feed the insect?

That big dmg dive that u do when u fly to the air dosent work for me Oo

what is the name of that insect glave

Bruh didn't talk once about mounting with air combos, or air combos attacks...

So these are the controls when your mouse does not have 5 buttons? Interesting.
