One thing that everyone should know, Flashpods will detonate all Kinsect dust around you.

@rapturedsoul-tef9065

6 жыл бұрын

Now that I think of it, I should probably clear why this is important: Sometimes, you'll save dust around you for either heals, or to lure the monster to a spot with multiple clouds, then attack. However, if a Flash pod is used (Not sure yet if a teammate's flash will effect it just yet, haven't payed attention to that), it will detonate all of them. This could be either an advantage or a disadvantage depending on where the monster, your team, and the dust clouds are located at the time. Hope this was a good enough explanation for everyone.

Other player's flashpods also detonates the dust aswell. But nothing you can do about it when you're in a party, because other people don't care about it.

Worth mentioning: you can use your kinsect to trigger bombs and falling boulders. With a high speed kinsect it actually travels faster than a slinger stone, meaning you have a better chance of triggering an environmental trap while the monster is still under it.

I love natural minds eye

One quick essence gathering tip: When you send your kinsect out it travels a set distance. If you're having a hard time reaching a particular buff (i.e. Orange buff from Bazel's back in this video), take some time familiarizing yourself with the distance your kinsect travels from sending it out from you. Then, once you have a general feel for how far that distance is, instead of just aiming for Bazel's back, aim *way* above it with plenty of room for clearing the monster and send it out with L2 + Triangle, then once your Kinsect is above Bazel, aim at the ground by his feet and direct your kinsect with L2 + Triangle again. Your kinsect will attempt to reach the point you're aiming at by traveling in a straight line. From directly above, you're much more likely to hit his back and get the essence you're going for, in this example. This technique takes a little longer travel time technically than just hitting to part you want first try and calling your kinsect back, but in situations where you don't have an easy line of sight always on the part you want to extract from, this technique of Kinsect directing will lessen some of your headache.

one piece of criticism I have for how you use the glaive is that you dont use the insect mark enough. it is insane how useful it is to mark an area for your kinsect to attack, especially if done in strategic areas. for example, if I already have the triple buff I'll usually mark the monsters tail, that way my kinsect would follow and attack the monsters tail, building up that sever damage, and it comes with the added benefit of recovering some of my health when my insect runs out of stamina and returns to me. if you have a blunt insect you could mark the monsters head and build up that stun damage, and if timed correctly the insect could return to you with a red buff as soon as your current one runs out. and even if you werent concerned with that stuff too much, you could just get a high attack power kinsect and then mark any random spot on the monster and let the insect add to your overall DPS, you could never go wrong with that. basically what Im saying is that marking an area on a monster for your insect to attack is highly under utilized and should be implemented into regular glaive play, as it not only increases your overall DPS, but it increases your dust cloud usage by a wide margin, and can grant you and your team some really good personal benefits. after getting your buffs, marking the monster should always be your very next step before going into the melee yourself.

Also worth noting that if you don't have an opening to attack and your Kinsect's stamina is starting to run low, you can spam the recall/collect actions a few times to quickly bring its stamina back up to full. Very, very useful for status builds since this means you can have clouds almost constantly generating. Stack a status across your weapon, Kinsect, and Palico, and use this any chance you get, and you'll be a status-applying monster. It's less of a hard rule and more just something to do when the stars align to give you an opening to do it, but still very much worth explaining on its own.

Wow..... I've been using this thing wrong throughout my 100 hours of playing this game! Look, hear me out, I'm really new to these types of games. I really didn't wanna read all the instructions and shit so, I just figured "we'll all you do in every other RPG Is just Hit Dodge Hit Dodge and repeat, so I'll just do that". I ended up picking the glaive cause it looked cool, but once I started using it, I fell in love with the jump mechanic. It was all I would use. As you probably figured by now it sucked to do that all the time. It was bad damage along with the the fact i never ate a meal, ever, and the fact I didn't go for good skill in armor I only went for looks. I ended up hating the game for my own incompetence, but now I can't stop playing. Don't be me. Please read all the instructions given to you! Thanks.

I'm really happy to see even after all this time, Arekkz still has the top suggested videos for learning MH weapons. I keep checking back on these videos periodically when I decide to use a different weapon. Those vertical strikes from the IG are fantastic for taking tails. But yes, being a air fighter is where the fun is at with this weapon. The general damage output for this weapon is pretty solid considering how quickly it hits. It's a better weapon than I thought it was when I first started playing MHW.

The work you guys do has certainly made my Monster Hunter skills even better, and have helped me try other weapons I wouldn't have originally even thought of. It is bittersweet that these weapon tutorials have come to an end

I'd like to thank for all the hard work you put into these videos. It's not my first MH game, but this is the first I tried every single weapon and played for more than 200 hours. Your videos helped me A LOT. Keep up with the rest of the videos you've planned ;)

Arekkz I want to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the hard diligent work you have put into all of the 14 weapon videos. I have learnt 3 weapons fairly well and used your videos for each one either before and in one case the video came out after but gave me a combo for the lance I was unaware of. The actual game leaves much to be desired when telling us combos or much at all. I study them and take notes as well as practice. That all takes about 3-4 hours for me but it is worth it as you don't have a bad experience when you first fight which can turn people off weapons a I want to give each weapon the time it needs to be fair and so I know which ones I like the most or would like to use the most for fun or for devastation! I intend on learning all the weapons now at I am at end game and just need to get more decorations and streamstones. I love this game so much and even bought the Japanese guide book which will hopefully push me to finally learn Japanese which will open up the world of gaming and its people even more to me. Your love and passion for the game is easy to see and shows in your work. I have put more hours into this game than 3 of my favourite games put together. I have played most of it solo but since Kulth I am now playing multiplayer and met some excellent people to get the USJ armor which I have today and I love the look of it. Just wish the skills were a bit better with more slots. The community is the best I have seen for a game and they all band together to help each other out. I have not met an idiot or rude person yet, fingers crossed. I am blabbing on now because once i start talking monster hunter it is hard to stop so I will finish and just say your videos mean so much to me and I have even started using discord and have your channel there in case I get to one day hunt a few monsters with you although I am not your standard so I am not sure that's a good idea. You also liked a Destiny reply I made or 2 as I love that gme to although not at the moment but I have hope after you all met with the devs not long ago. Just thank you for all your work on your high quality videos, I love your channel and your passion for gaming. Thank you and never stop making videos for all us tragic gamers who love this hobby, its people, fun and pleasure it gives us. Thank you Arekkz.

Thank goodness for this video. All I was doing is air attacks lol, just started playing for the first time and really love this weapon so far. So glad I took the time to learn more with this video. Can't wait to try it after work 😁

This was sooo sooo helpful thank you. I chose the Insect Glaive as my main weapon on a whim but now I love it so much. It's such an original weapon and I like the mobility!

These are the only videos on YT I'll spend 20 minutes watching from start to finish lol I'm not a pro at MH but my survivability and DPS has skyrocketed because of your videos man, thanks a lot!

Best series of weapon tuts out there, fantastic job. I've learned so much from these and it's helped my enjoyment of my first MH game immensely! Thank you!

Quick tip: if you are mounted a monster and it moves over to a wall you can run on (like the ropes around the trees in the arena) to try to knock you off, if you knock it down while it’s next to those surfaces you can point the joystick towards the walls to initiate a run midair, which allows you to do a downward strike on the fallen monster instead of having to fall to the ground and get up and whatever. This is especially useful if the monster is flying

What a pleasant surprise. 2 tutorials in 2 days

Now I know Arekkz is a hardcore MH player/YTer but it should take him 4 months to release a basic weapon tutorial. Who is this helping? If you didn't know how to use the KB by now? It was my main months ago and i looked forward to Arekkz releasing a tutorial on it and I kept checking back to see if had released one but he hadn't until now? Too slow man.

Fantastic series of videos, particularly for the beginner player. These videos have certainly helped me get in to some weapons that I otherwise probably would have known very little about.

I can't believe I never knew about the wall grab after a vault! Also a minor detail but the L2+R2 shot where you mark the monster for your kinsect to attack is great for detonating barrels.

I switched from the Dual Swords and I LOVE this weapon... It feels like a true hunter melee weapon with its plethora of utility options. Fun fun fun.

Your guides are god-send for me. Literally explains everything perfectly

You missed that attack in which you’d do a backward leaping slash. It’s a nice attack for repositioning and getting out of harms way. I believe you can also run up to climbable vines with your weapons drawn and climb them normally without putting away the glaive.

You forgot to mention that after most moves, you can press Back+O to do a backflip slash. It doesn't deal much damage, but it's good for repositioning. Also, when jumping up walls, you only have to press Forward+X and you'll scale the wall and latch back on automatically. You'll scale the wall faster with White Extract, which also makes it faster than normally climbing. If you run out of stamina while climbing walls this way, just sit there for a sec and it'll restore.

This is the best tutorial I could have asked for. Everything was explained. I’m just getting into this game and you’ve helped a lot. Thanks

Oh Arekkz, you are far too good to us, my dude. Love these tutorials, keep up the good work!

First of all, I absolutely love your tutorials and watched them all over and over again, you are doing an amazing job making them. Secondly, I wanted to add a few things to your tutorial, a few things I think you didn't mention or are fun to know: 1- The backside rotating move (I don't know the name) by holding back on L2 and hitting circle (I guess you didn't mention) it's actually quite handy since you move forward with this weapon and you cannot change direction mid-combo, you can just jump backward with a pretty strong hit. 2- You can use the marking ability to explode the dust or make things like boulders fall. or even explode the bombs! you don't need slinger for these things. 3- In a teamwork, it's better to mark the lower body parts of the monster if you need the dust because your teammates are more likely to hit those parts (unless they are mostly ranged) 4- Just to have fun, mark a Gajalaka with the insect, or any of the annoying mosquitos (why I can't remember their name?) and enjoy the show :)))) And, one thing I wanted to see in your video since I have never done any research on, was the invulnerability window, I still have difficulty figuring it out, it seems that sometimes in the air you might be invulnerable, but I am not sure. Anyways, thanks for a great video, these videos are so amazing.

Also, they can wake up monsters with marking or the insect which has frequently happened to me in various fights, when I put the monster to sleep and someone wakes it up with an insect glave.

I believe the air dash (direction + 'x' button) has some invincible frames, though timing it just right when most of your airtime is locked in a movement is, well, unreliable. Still clutch when you can though. That dash really came in handy for the final boss, too, straight counter to an otherwise tough attack to dodge. Also, thanks for the headsup on multiplayer. Waking up a monster with a kinsect is pretty wasteful, but I didn't know the IG could interrupt another player's attacks outright. Definitely something to be careful of.

I'd recomnend protective polish for any IG build if you have it. IG loses sharpness faster than any other weapon except dual blades due to rapid hits and long attack chains.

Adu767 I believe Gunlance loses it quicker with the full burst based combo. But I agree protective polish on IG is hella useful.

@@BorisTheGoose92 protective polish is preferable, but razor sharp also works very well, and since xeno set gives you both that and effect prolonger with plenty of gem slots to gem in attack or elemental attack, it's a really good choice to use in IG.

Just got this game and this was my first choice weapon. Watched all the little weapon intro vids and the aerial capability seemed like a must have fighting giant monsters.

Thanks for all those weapon workshops they all really helped especially this one Keep up the good work 👍

Quick, good to understand and all you need to know. I didn't even notice that it were over 20 min. Good work.

Quick tips: -Sending and recalling kinsects quickly regenerates their stamina -You can grab orange buff more easily by sending the kinsect above the monster and then send it downwards. (Ill add more tips if i can think of more)

Or just aim for the wings and move it slightly downwards

This was very helpful to me. I had never played before and fell in love with the look and style of this weapon right away. Thanks for helping me understand it better. I'm still not very good but now I feel like I know how to improve.

Loved the series! Learning lots of new weapons I hadn’t appreciated before :)

Thank you Arekkz for making this video Finally I can enjoy this weapon and also 2 tutorials in 2 days!

ITS FINALLY HERE! REJOICE!

Thought I'd watch this randomly in case I missed a detail with the glaive after a couple hundred hours of play and it turns out I did. Did not realize that triangle circle offered the best stagger potential.

Arekkz congratulations for finsihing your weapon workshop! Been an avid fan of your videos, and of course Monster Hunter has always been 1 of the greatest games that I have ever played! More power to you! Great job! ;)

Thanks for the weapon workshop videos! I have really enjoyed them. I hope you do a top 5 insect glaives video!

I looked at this notification like wtf, there must be a mistake. I just watched the horn video yesterday. Welp, that's all 14, kinda sad now lol

This was the weapon that caught my attention off the start stayed with it because of the cool animation and the arm bahumbug

As someone new to the series these have been invaluable, thanks man.

The insect glaive is one of my favorite weapons. I never did the ground attack as much. But now I will try to add it in my battle strategy. I usually try to aerial attack. Awesome video. Thanks for the tutorial.

There have been quite a few guide videos for Insect Glaive out now, but it’s always better when Arrekz does it lol

YESSSSS THANK YOUUUUUUU

I’ve been an Insect Glaive Main since I started this game at launch. It’s my favorite weapon and even so, I’m still watching this video because I love your content and tutorials!

Finally! This was the one I was most looking forward to since it’s the weapon I most wanted to learn when I started playing world. Also,unless I’m mistaken, I think you forgot to mention the “retreating slash” (or at least that’s what I call it) where after inputting triangle if you hold back and circle I think you perform a cartwheel backwards. I normally would use it to extend my combos before I end with the big circle attack

Wow arekkz two in two days?! Thanks so much 😂😂

I forsee myself continuing to pole vault off of monsters for a good portion of the fight.

Thanks for this, I have been doing some stuff really wrong and this will help me be much better with the Insect Glaive.

Thank you for all the hard work. Nice to have one of my favourite weapons as the final episode.

Am I the only one weirded out Arekkz didn't include the option you have to retreat: left joystick backwards + circle? It's great for evading and repositioning Also, I find t interesting my go-to combo is so different, for any interested here it is: Circle (triangle if sheathed) -> R2 -> triangle (after R2 you get a nice extra hit) -> triangle x2 -> circle -> triangle (cancel long animation with a quick stab) -> back + circle (to reset my position should I want to)

MrIzumi224 You can use any combo you like. He just showed the best combos. It is in fact proven tri, tri, circle repeat is the most dps a Glaive can do. However most people use triangle then circle over and over. It's almost the same damage but has huge stagger/server potential. If your moving forward it would then be forward triangke, O, O. Until a Mon goes down or after a mount for big damage if sheathed it would be foward triangle, into R2, into infinite combo, or triangle circle combo. By using the back evade hit even tho it deals damage it's almost always a damage lose. All of this doesn't really matter tho. If you don't speed run it's not gonna change the time of your hunts by that much so just have fun and play how you like.

I dreamt that i could fly... must be a sign, my calling to pick up an insect glaive

Sheesh, this guide still holds. Just picked up IG and man, im glad i rwmembered arrekz has this workshop. Loving the IG!!

You're a good man, Arekkz. Love the series.

Good tutorial but you forgot a move if you have red and white and do a triangle attack holding back on the analog stick and hitting circle with result in a nice backflip which not only does damage but I've used it to dodge quite a few things as well as been able to go directly into the tornado slash afterwards keep up the great videos Arekkz

I was about to write this comment as well. I kept wondering when he'd bring that move up. The back + O button is a really useful tool for me. Especially when I go in too deep with my combo and out of reach. I just use that to both do damage and get in fighting range.

Helicoptor mode was awesome for dodging Kulve's lava floor attack.

Thank you for this explanation I avoided the IG because I didn't know how to use it effectively but now I'm kicking more ass than I ever could with the daggers.

Been waiting for this! Insect Glaive was my very first MH weapon and I love it to death!

I mained Insect glaive in my first Monster Hunter game, MH4U. Now that I've reached the Guiding Lands, I think it's time to return to my roots.

Started MH from Freedom Unite and played most every game since and once I tried IG in 4U I was hooked. I use every weapon But IG is easily my fave I started with Dual Blades for the speed then went to long sword for its reach so insect glaive was like the two fused.

Your videos are so well made. Well earned sub. Thank you for the quality content.

How can ppl dislike these videos? Arekkz these videos are the best. Keep doing what you do cause its amazing

Two things which are peripherally addressed but are important enough to highlight are that the air dodges do not provide I-frames and that in fights like Xeno'jiva it can be fully worth waiting out falls and then using those chaining air attacks to avoid touching hot floor while maintaining damage or even climbing it while it's taking flight to smack it back down very quickly.
