Tips For Using Powder Kinsects With Insect Glaive | Monster Hunter Rise 

For the Marking Monster controls: I have done PC on LEFT, Switch on RIGHT. Sorry the headings didn't appear - I think my editor crashed before I saved those changes and then forgot to remake them D:

Another great vid from Skysensei. 😁

Thanks for this video. Thumbs up! In the process of learning new weapons. This helped very much!

This is a cool intro vid for powder kinsects. Good job. I enjoyed the choice of mellow music.

Awesome! I have been procrastinating on the powder kinsects because I'm obsessed with the Bonus Heal ones, but, I want to try them out. This is gonna come in handy :)

Thanks, this helps a lot! I was using bilbobrix with a magia (blast) glaive because more explosions but it seems like ladytower with tetraseal is gonna be more versatile and worry-free.

Cool Video! For new players, IG got much harder to understand. The nuance in every type of kinsect is easily overlooked. Combined with switch skills, new people can have a hard time to even see, that IG is at least 3 weapons in one. This video is solid and describes powder kinsects really well. Assist type is best tho imo. Assist type is

Hell yeah you made the video!

Haven't tried this yet, thanks for the tips man. The recall part is gonna take some real thought when I do try this.

I think there's a pretty critical tip you missed. Vortex bomb is an animation cancel. So when in situations in which your powder is likely to be destroyed by the monster or other players, it may be beneficial to simply bomb more often as a cancel.

I've got an immortal support powder set using Divine Ire head, Onmyo torso, Kush arms and waist and Flaming Espinas legs decorated for max defense boost, max divine protection, as much defiance as I can fit, recovery up maxed, recovery speed maxed, and stun resistance maxed. Altogether I've got Defense Boost 7, Agitator 5, Defiance 4, Divine Blessing 3, Recovery Up 3, Recovery Speed 3, Stun Residtance 3, Wide Range 3 (had a spare lvl 3 slot), Kushala Blessing 3, Razor Sharp 2, Spare Shot 2 (useless, but it comes with the head so eh), Stamina Surge 2, Burst 2, Attack Boost 1, Crit Eye 1, WEX 1, Partbreaker 1, Furious 1, Embolden 1, and Intrepid Heart 1. I can provide CC with KOs/para, AoE heal those near the monster, and when I have the time to attack, Staff of Laertes builds up blast so easy damage boost from a low personal DPS build.

I love the blunt one with PV. I run with either the Magia(blast) or the chameleos(poison) status build. I'm getting KO's, paralysis, poison/blast pretty constantly. What I've found is the Tetraseal attack that marks the monster to work a little best, plus the shear number of hits builds up my status pretty quick. I don't typically get a huge number on my vortex, but with my para-mute along for the hunt I get two to three on high level afflicted monster.

I love the powder vortex so much when you get this mental numbers it's great, I hit 1200 + 200 blast was so fun. Also it's a pritty good when mutli player as you heal the close combat players although multiplayer makes it quite hard but when it works it's cool. I close combat and far off as I feel like it lol

Just got Sunbreak this week, but I remember watching this video a few months ago. I love powder kinsects so I was so excited to try the vortex! But my kinsect just wouldn't do it, I thought I was being dumb and pressing the wrong buttons or something. Turns out I just needed to play a bit more to unlock Lv7 kinsects hahah... Got too excited.

I’ve been neglecting the Vortex because I thought it would interfere with the Kinsect Slash and I’ve read someone saying that in multiplayer your team will often destroy the clouds. But this video makes me want to give it a try Arigato Sensei

ladytower stuns ehausts and paralyes.. damn

I fux with the Powder kinsects. I right now, I'm rockin a "Unique" "Dereliction", "Status Trigger" build using a para glaive and the new Blast powder kinsect. It can produce damage while being haxy at the same time. Plus, the 'splosions are constantly healing you so you don't have to worry about the Dereliction health drain.

It would be great if there's a dual color powder kinsect

is auto attack frequency good for powder types with status?

It's a Shame that for multiplayer it's kinda rough.... I don't mind The monster blowing them up, but my attacks, my pets attacks, my friends attacks, any follower attacks.... Thats Rough.... It would have been nice if there was a way to have Only the monster or you inputs blowing up the powders, It wouldn't even be that broken, it would just Feel good to use in Multiplayer. altho the awakened kinsect attack does give you 5 straight away, getting 2 up takes no time, so you could get 7 and vortex really quickly

With the powder builds is it better to use a specific IG with status like paralysis (i assume prob not for the ladytower kinsect) or poison? Or would it be better just to continue with the lucent narg/ flaming esp IG?

Does the Blast one scale with Blast damage? If so I imagine its really good with Scorns Glaive in a Blast damage builf

Idk if I never made a right play or a right build for insect glaive but it feel underwhelming every time I used it. I always play aerial but I might try vortex next time. Aerial is fun but damage is very underwhelming for the afford I’m putting in.😅 What vortex is like in TU 4? Any skills that might benefit it’s damage? If it doesn’t scale with weapon attack (which I assume it would be the case) it might be getting worse and worse when monster is tougher and has more hp

I’m confused, you were using controls for PC. How to mark the monster when in closed range in switch? 3:29 in your video

10:05 Could you please show how to control dust to attack the monster on PS5? Thank you

Not bad didn't realize anyone else noticed how much damage Vortex does with Blast powder. My own two cents. Rondine in particular uses the same blast heal vortex so use the same to use her vortex with your own for high damage. You should be able to do the same with other Insect Glaive users. Initially I prefered using this build to offset Berserker Build but ended up with an immortal build with high damage. This build will probably be patched having just two powders fully heal the party is nuts with berserker build. Only weaknesses are fire or poison enemies though.

Boosted powder extract doesn’t work for me

Each status cloud with my testing is ~25 status when popped manually. Vortex makes all cloud even heal with heal/paralysis count as 50 paralysis status. Meaning a single send + vortex is pretty much guaranteed first status in a hunt since most monsters start at 180-250 ish status threshold and bug gets 6 hits in a single send. Pretty much anyone can dump >1K damage with a single sleep/paralysis proc meanwhile poison really only ever does at most 450 damage depending on the monster making it less valuable outside of farming Kushala.

Wait i didn't knew i could shoot???????

Bruh I just wanted to freaking know how to use the fkin bomb part Like what do I press

hmm... bug
