HUNTERS! The first impressions for the NEW Insect Glaive, boost bracer showcase may have been a bit too harsh! If you put the trailer on 25% speed and watch the Kinsect instead of the glaive itself you'll notice quite a few new exciting bits of tech! We've noticed: Clouds... are back as primers and detonators! (Potential for healing, blast, para, sleep, attack!) Potential offset on the new unswing move. Boosted pierce for the Kinsect off the DT. Kinsect auto collects essence on the new boost bracer ground move; likely up to all three with a Kinsect that can do so. Potential for DT charged RSS followup from the pierce attack initiated from the Boost offset! When you notice all this, it definitely starts to feel a little less lackluster! #mhwilds #monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #ascendanceshow more

It felt lackluster due to shift in focus on the weapons characteristics, it feels like it's becoming a counter-heavy weapon that has abandoned reach, flexibility and mobility to do defensive actions. Especially with boost bracers enhancing mobility for other weapons even GS, LBG.

I'm still sad 😔

I actually think you'll feel better when you get ya' hands on it. I reckon the video didn't do the greatest job of showcasing the actual improvements. Or at least... I hope so.

Yeah weeks ago we were workshopping so many theories like homing powder detonation, bugs being able to offset, boost not eating up stamina too much while in air, more offset followups or better kinsect mark/dust mechanics but it's mostly just easy essence collection and what looks to be y+b spam :( Owell hopefully it gets a bit more love before release

I hoping they have actually made all the offsets work bcs you know the timing is gonna fuck us for MR with the faster monsters. I'm sad we got nothing really new as this is probably the worst showcase as of right now but if the offsets all get a bit more generous, faster and work

But, but why cant we use the boosted kinsect as a hover skateboard so the hunter can fly while spinning the Glaive 😭

We'll have to consult Ryozo San.

People don't realize that this breakdown of boosted kinsect has more potential possibilities of changing of how IG will function FAR more than just simple 1 or 2 new combos that is relevant to aerial (you're not contributing to the hunt).

Não mano, tipo, talvez o problema seja a comparação, todas as armas pareceram que tiveram mais carinho e esforço, já na IG... Pelo menos tem como tirar uma coisa engraçada, quanto tem as comparações das ações antes e depois do bust elas são iguais 😂😂😂 não muda nada.

I been saying, theres 2 moves that send into aerial and its smooth without having to vault on purpose for it, people are just mad they didnt show EVERYTHING though they seem to intentionally not do aerial leaps

Notice how all the new things are mostly related to the kinsect? That is the way the weapon need to evolve, by integrating the kinsect into the weapon's kit more and more. Based devs.

I pray lesser links to RSS cus i dun wan the whole IG combo loop to be reliant on RSS May RSS be used on large openings or conveniently ignored so people can either go kinsect focused or aerial focused whatever just break free from RSS

Nooo you're supposed to complain about the lack of aerial attacks In all seriousness thank you for actually posting this lmao The "Insect" in "Insect Glaive" is actually getting more stuff very pog

Also if its Poison could status be coming back as something useful?

For me I'd almost certainly take ANYTHING over poison.

I was excited from the start, I saw at least 2 new offsets, the instant shoot kinsect with pierce. Clouds and you jump into the air with an attack, even if aerial does not get more new other then the improved dive. This HINTS at improved aerial viability

The problem still all that happening in the ground, instead of anything in the air.

All of this and we'll still end up ignoring half of our kit to spam rising spiral slash lmao wilds IG is a joke
