· In the current Monster Hunter Now season, the addition of attack boost skills to Seregios and Tobi-Kadachi armor has significantly buffed non-elemental and status effect weapons.
· Specifically, the Seregios weapon has been fully upgraded. We'll cover whether this weapon is powerful and if it's worth crafting non-elemental weapons right now.

· The Seregios Insect Glaive boasts an attack power of 2335 and a critical hit rate of 30% at maximum upgrade.
· The weapon itself comes with the 'Attack Boost Lv1' skill, increasing its actual attack power to around 2560.
· It's a 'Flurry' type glaive, 'Quick' performance type, 'Cut' damage category, and uniquely features the 'Kinsect Bonus: Final Limit Break' effect.

· This video showcases hunting monsters using the Seregios Insect Glaive.

· The recommended gear setup is as follows:
- Head: Tobi-Kadachi
- Body: Rathian
- Arms: Tobi-Kadachi
- Waist: Bazelgeuse
- Legs: Tobi-Kadachi
· This setup activates skills like 'Rapid Morph Lv5', 'Kinsect Boost Lv1', 'Evade Extender Lv1', 'Justive Evade Lv1', and 'Attack Boost Lv1', pushing the attack power up to 4200.
· Notably, the 'True Power Lv3' skill increases damage by 35%, and 'Rapid Morph Lv5' combined with 'Rapid Morph Expert Lv2' further boosts attack power by a total of 40%.

· **Quick Entry into Buff State**: The 'Quick' type Insect Glaive has 3 stamina bars, allowing you to reach the buff state with just 2 stamina recoveries. Utilizing SP attacks can speed this up even further.
· **Infinite Buff State Maintenance**: Thanks to the 'Kinsect Bonus: Final Limit Break' effect, you can recover kinsect stamina even while in the buff state, enabling you to maintain it almost indefinitely. This translates to immense firepower.

· **Difficult Controls**: Frequent aerial combat makes dodging monster attacks challenging, and it takes time to get used to. You might need a build that enhances defense.
· **Issue with Evade Extender Skill Application**: The 'Evade Extender' skill doesn't apply to kinsect attacks, only your own, reducing its overall effectiveness.
· **Slow Initial Damage Output**: It takes about 10 seconds to enter the buff state, which can be a disadvantage in regular hunts where speed is crucial.

· The Seregios Insect Glaive truly shines in group hunts rather than solo play.
· When the monster's aggro is focused on other players, the Insect Glaive can attack unopposed, unleashing high damage.
· Especially when combined with paralysis attacks, you can maintain the buff state almost infinitely and deal massive damage.

· This is the recommended setup for group hunts, especially when utilizing paralysis attacks:
- Head: Vischini
- Body: Bazelgeuse
- Arms: Tobi-Kadachi
- Waist: Glavenus
- Legs: Vischini
· This setup includes skills like 'Rapid Morph Lv3', 'Kinsect Boost Lv1', and 'Evade Extender Lv1', delivering powerful damage against paralyzed monsters.
· If paralysis attacks are unreliable, consider using 'True Power' from 'Charge Tower' instead of Bazelgeuse, or utilizing Bazelgeuse's 'Pursuit' skill.

· If you primarily play solo, weapons with higher versatility and ease of use like the Lance, Heavy Bowgun, or Light Bowgun are recommended over the Seregios Insect Glaive.
· However, if you want to support your party members in group hunts while dealing high damage, the Seregios Insect Glaive can be an excellent choice.
