· In the current season of Monster Hunter Now, the addition of the Attack Boost skill to Seregios and Toby Kadachi armor has significantly empowered non-elemental and status effect weapons.
· Specifically, the Seregios weapon has been fully upgraded. This segment discusses 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 Affinity of 30% when fully upgraded.
· The weapon itself comes with the 'Attack Boost Lv1' skill, increasing its effective Attack Power to approximately 2560.
· Its Insect Glaive type is 'Aerial', performance type is 'Quick', attack element is 'Slash', and it features a unique 'Kinsect Bonus: Final Limit Break' effect.

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

· The recommended gear setup is as follows:
- Head: Toby Kadachi
- Body: Rathian
- Arms: Toby Kadachi
- Waist: Bazelgeuse
- Legs: Toby Kadachi
· This setup activates skills like 'Rapid Morph Lv5', 'Kinsect Boost Lv1', 'Evade Extender Lv1', 'Just Evade Lv1', and 'Attack Boost Lv1', pushing the Attack Power up to a maximum of 4200.
· Notably, the 'Heroics 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 Enhanced State**: The 'Quick' type Insect Glaive has 3 stamina gauges, allowing entry into the enhanced state with just 2 gauge recoveries. Utilizing SP attacks can speed this up even further.
· **Infinite Enhanced State Maintenance**: Thanks to the 'Kinsect Bonus: Final Limit Break' effect, you can recover Kinsect stamina gauges even while in the enhanced state, allowing for near-infinite maintenance of this powerful mode. This translates to immense firepower.

· **Difficult Control Scheme**: Frequent aerial combat makes dodging monster attacks challenging, and it takes time to get used to. A build focusing on defense might be necessary.
· **Evade Extender Skill Application Issue**: The 'Evade Extender' skill only applies to your own attacks, not Kinsect attacks, reducing its overall effectiveness.
· **Slow Initial Firepower**: It takes about 10 seconds to reach the enhanced 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 with impunity, unleashing high damage.
· Especially when combined with paralysis attacks, you can maintain the enhanced state almost indefinitely and deal massive damage.

· This setup is recommended for group hunts, especially when utilizing paralysis attacks:
- Head: Viskra
- Body: Bazelgeuse
- Arms: Toby Kadachi
- Waist: Glavenus
- Legs: Viskra
· This build includes skills like 'Rapid Morph Lv3', 'Kinsect Boost Lv1', 'Evade Extender Lv1', and delivers powerful damage against paralyzed monsters.
· If paralysis attacks are unreliable, consider using 'Heroics' 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 with high damage output in group hunts, the Seregios Insect Glaive can be an excellent choice.
