2. ⚔️ Insect Glaive's Simple Controls and Flashy Aerial Actions
· The Insect Glaive was a complex weapon in the original game, but its controls have been simplified in Monster Hunter Now.
· Basic controls are: tap to attack, long press for Kinsect Ball, long press then flick down for Kinsect Attack, long press then flick forward to vault.
· While vaulting, you can flick forward for a Midair Dash, and tap for a Leaping Thrust.
· While vaulting, you can flick in any direction except forward for a single dodge, and perform up to 3 Midair Dashes.
· You can stay airborne for an extended period with combos like Vault - Aerial Dodge - Midair Dash - Aerial Dodge - Midair Dash - Aerial Dodge - Midair Dash, enjoying the Insect Glaive's unique aerial actions.

3. 🦋 Insect Glaive's Core: Kinsect Stamina and Extract Gauge Management
· While controls are simple, managing Kinsect Stamina and the Extract Gauge is key to Insect Glaive operation.
· Kinsect Stamina recovers once per attack. When stamina is available, using Kinsect Ball or Kinsect Attack will make the Kinsect attack and collect extract.
· Filling the Extract Gauge to maximum enhances various attacks, and this enhanced state wears off after a certain period.
· At the start of a hunt, you can collect extract once by 'tap-tap-long press', and recover Kinsect Stamina using a Perfect Dodge or SP Gauge.
· Using an SP Skill recovers Kinsect Stamina, so utilizing SP Skills to quickly collect extract is efficient.
· It's important to get familiar with Kinsect and Extract Gauge management through actual gameplay.

4. ⚙️ Different Kinsect Performance per Weapon, Importance of Strategic Choice
· Unlike the original game, the Kinsect is fixed to each weapon in Monster Hunter Now.
· Kinsects have action pattern types like 'Cooperative' or 'Support', and attack types like 'Severing' or 'Blunt'.
· Additionally, there are various elements such as Kinsect traits like 'Power', 'Speed', 'Stamina', and 'Extract Bonus' which activates when the Extract Gauge is full.
· It was difficult to grasp all information during the early access, but the fact that Kinsect performance varies greatly by weapon is important.
· Like with Lance or Hunting Horn, it's crucial to consider which Kinsect is attached to the weapon when crafting it.

5. 🛡️ Recommended Armor Skills for Insect Glaive in Season 9
· The Insect Glaive's firepower changes significantly depending on whether the enhanced state is maintained, so it's important to keep it active for longer.
| Category | Detailed Content |
|---|---|
| Status Trigger | Important for maintaining the enhanced state for longer. Recommended Armor: Kulu-Ya-Ku Head, Odogaron Waist (also comes with Burst Level 1, which is good.) |
| Burst | The Insect Glaive has many hits, and Kinsect attacks are likely included in the Burst activation conditions. Tobi-Kadachi Subspecies armor, to be added in Season 9, also has Burst skill, which can make it very powerful. Recommended Armor: Rathian Bracers (has Burst, and you can also forge Burst with Mysterious Drifting Stone.) |
| Focus | Important for quickly filling the SP Gauge to swiftly enter the enhanced state. Since using an SP Skill recovers Kinsect Stamina, Focus allows you to quickly recover the SP Gauge and efficiently cycle through enhanced states. Recommended Armor: Kulu-Ya-Ku, Azure Rathalos Bracers |
| Evade Extender | Increases the Insect Glaive's mobility. Recommended Armor: Rathalos Head, Rathian Mail |
| Earplugs | Getting hit by a roar while vaulting results in a long stun, so Earplugs can enhance comfort. Recommended Armor: Tigrex Bracers |
