Insect Glaive is EVEN BETTER in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak! 

Now we’re true beast masters lol

you weren't using the drill dive in World were you ??

@@Rmason3156 the world kinsect series with the iceborne addition of kinsect slinger feed was just barely a bit away from being a full on weapon in it's own right. just played the vast majority of the game with that as my primary attack. Rise kinsect seems more synergistic to the insect glaive, but the way it could be a weapon in world appears to have been far removed, if what ive seen from rise footage is any indication.

It fits. Rise and Sunbreak lean very heavily on the idea that you're relying on partners instead of just your own skills. Palicos, Palamutes, Cohoots, Wirebugs, and even NPCs so it makes perfect sense that Kinsects would receive an overhaul.

Ayyyyy!

@@ArekkzGaming Hehehehehehhhhh 😈 We love bad puns

Weapon would become an absolute beast. If we could at least swap while on wall run or wall cling with glaive I'd be happy.

Honestly I'm glad. Fuel color feels like it was so clearly better than everything else I never varied from it. But vortex and that triple buff one look very interesting.

Well, if you never been on ground you've made pretty shit damage in world/iceborne 😅

@@elite_eight4486 baffling that many people play games for fun and not speedruns right?

@@renutus1580 indeed

You still have to remember that they still have not shown every silkbind yet for all weapons as they stated on social media so we're still missing a switch skill on the ZL+ X input, who knows if it maybe could be something as good as diving wyvern and even if it's not a really great move, insect glaive already looks so much fun in sunbreak

@@yann14pr Hell yeah! I'm just a little nit picky in my wish list, but for what we have been given, I'm happy.

I'm pretty sure the kinsect slash dive attack has 3 hits, but the hunter only landed one of them against Lunagaron. The damage is probably reasonable assuming all hits connect.

@@randomnessgamerman I know it's got the three vaults, but even the one he landed that wasn't the spiker did pretty bad damage unless I'm reading something wrong. If you land all or most hits of the spinning slash you can get a solid 200+ damage. The numbers I've seen just don't compare. I know it's not set in stone, it's just potentially worrying

@@RoseWovenScythe High damage doesn't seem to be the main use case for kinsect slash. it looks like a way for the insect glaive user to get back to the ground quickly and deal some damage without needing to use the clunky Diving Wyvern. Kinsect slash looks like it will be more useful for grounded IG playstyle and the helicopter attack is better for aerial IG playstyle. Each can have a clear niche that doesn't just need to be damage. Kinsect slash will probably end up being used over the helicopter attack in most cases anyways, simply because it's significntly faster and thus safer to use without getting swatted out of the air mid attack. Plus it gives you extract as a bonus.

@@RoseWovenScythe it's a trade off from a pure damage skill to an airborne extract gathering move. I doubt the damage would be higher than it's alternative switch skill jumping advancing slash.

You can check out ragegamingvideos, they uploaded GS and bow as far as I know

The way I've interpreted it is that the new swap skills will be most effective before getting triple buff for the airial attack, and right before triple buff expires for the kinsect yet, so in between those two states you will want to use normal airial and diving wyvern. If that is accurate then they fit neatly into the existing rhythm of insect glaive which will be awesome.

Kinsect Slash will changes to a downward angled spiral thrust once you gather red extract, so you are inclined to get that one last because you will lose your aerial mobility. Seems useful to me though. Towards the end of a triple buff period, we can swap skills, throw out an AKA to make the most use of the rest and seamlessly gather extracts again. Maybe even supported by a powder Vortex which will detonate the residual extract clouds from the previous AKA. Man this will be so dope!

@@-siranzalot- Sadly, I still don't know enough about the Kinsect types, but do all Kinsects actually drop Powder? I've only really run Assist Types, and I haven't seen any powder clouds being dropped. I would assume so, otherwise the Powder Vortex would be pointless as a Kinsect bonus.

@@ManlyPicnics the new AKA move seems to be releasing the stored extracts as powder clouds regardless of kinsect type. Maybe Kinsect Slash too because we are not actually sending out the kinsect for this one. But thats besides the point, powder vortex is a new kinsect type entirely and it should leave clouds with everything. Otherwise I agree, they'd be completely pointless

ok just saw your question about Kinsect types. First severing is for cutting tail while blunt is hitting head for K.O. monster. I personally like severing. Nomral: basic. It sucks Assist: when you are at the end of certain combo your bug will fly out and follow your staff. Not only does it give extra hits (extra damage) it also extend your weapon range. So you can hit something far from you when the monster moves away. My favorite. Speed. When your bug is at home on your arm it charges. When it glow blue (charged up) you can send your bug out to do damage. ONLY the FIRST hit has bonus damage. You need to call bug back to your arm and to charge again for next bonus damage. Dual Color. You get two color buff per hit. Meaning you can very quickly get all 3 buff by just hitting two places. My favorite. Powder: same from MHW. When you send bug out, wherever the monster get hits it leave a dust cloud (poison, blast, heal...). Just a tip, IG is a FAST hitting weapon, that means build ups like blast or poison works extremely well with it because of high number of hits. Also in Rise if you get all three color buff you automatically get earplug skill. completely broken. Also to me the speed of bug moving in and out matters the most. So you should focus on Kinsect bonus with high speed.

I don't think powder vortex and boosted kinsect extract are switch skills. They are kinsect bonuses. We already saw 5 switch skills for the insect glaive so i doubt these will be switch skills. They will most likely trigger at either a specific interval, or after certain conditions have been met.

@@markos50100 i didnt say they were. I meant i dont like the new switch skills

@@MasterPig11 you don't like kinsect yeet!? Wow sir. It's the best move the glaive has gotten since the skill it was from generation's extract hunter. The kinsect slash combos perfectly from the advanced kinsect attack.

@@MasterPig11 Me neither, I am good with the previous ones but I really love the new Kinsects and still the old ones, so it will be hard to chose which one to use.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a PC mod for that.

Why skip new moves when they make the weapon better? Sorry, that doesn´t really make sense to me. They both look like a very good addition to the gameplay and on top of that i already used the existing combos for 400h already

@@MrCrypto137 To me they don't make the weapon better and you have no data showing they deal more damage either. But mainly because I like way more the moves I have been using 300 hours instead of those.

@@Lanzetsu but do you skip the new monsters and locales aswell because the old ones are better? Lmao

@@MrCrypto137 I am talking about the weapon, instead of seem funny you seem that you can't even understand what you read.

@@Lanzetsu Have fun looking like a complete idiot (probably because you are) if you ever play online. You can already see in this video that both of these new silkbinds are pretty much what everybody else will use. And then there's you with your weak old combos :D

The issue isn't actually the existence of Silkbind Attacks. Gunner weapons in Rise still use ZL to bring up the reticle and ZR to shoot, which is the same as in World. Silkbind Attacks are mapped to R instead of ZR, and all you lose is the ability to sheathe your weapon with R. (The only difference there is if you want to sheathe immediately out of a recovery animation, blademasters can just hold R whereas gunners have to furiously mash Y. They should really allow you to sheathe immediately by holding Y, too.) All they need to do is give Insect Glaive a toggle option to use gunner controls instead of blademaster controls, and we'd be able to have the same controls as in World. I'm honestly not sure why they didn't do this already since Insect Glaive has a reticle just like gunner weapons.

@@william_sun well the point stays the same ... it really threw me off pretty often

My feelings as well. For a weapon all about freedom of mobility, that was a pretty poor decision, imo.

@@truecross4090 Guess we have to wait and see

We can only hope! 🤞🏻

Fingers crossed for CB buff at 13th june capcom event. But not very likely.

Can’t wait to try all the new moves and see what sticks. I played through with gunlance and switch axe on the switch playthrough and thinking of doing a playthrough on pc with the gf for rise
