Any good role-playing game<\/a> offers players a great deal of customization, weapons, and classes to play as – and Monster Hunter: World is on top of the food chain when it comes to that aspect. There are so many different weapons to play with which all have different types of playstyles, advantages, and disadvantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most interesting weapons in Monster Hunter: World is the Insect Glaive. Unlike some of the other weapons, the Insect Glaive is a bit difficult to master because it\u2019s very stylish and does not have basic tank\/lightweight properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But once you get the hang of it, the weapon is very rewarding to use and features many different combos to pull off which is not something every weapon in the game can do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Like every other weapon in the game, the Insect Glaive comes with its own upgrade path and unique movesets. So, it can be confusing how to get the Insect Glaive and use it in Monster Hunter World because there\u2019s a lot to learn. Luckily for you, we\u2019ve created a thorough guide that will help you get started with this awesome weapon – so, let\u2019s get right into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get the Insect Glaive in Monster Hunter World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is no special way to obtain the Insect Glaive in Monster Hunter World. You are allowed to select it just like the other weapons, which will make it your primary weapon of choice until you change your equipment at a later point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re done building your character, you are given the choice of picking a weapon of your preference from 14 choices – and the Insect Glaive is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you picked another weapon, then you should check your Item Box and see if you have the Insect Glaive. If not, you\u2019ll have to buy it from the Armory or get it forged if you have the materials required – which differ based on types and variations and the game tells you about them by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, whichever way you obtained the Insect Glaive from – now you can go ahead on your monster-slaying journey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use the Insect Glaive in Monster Hunter World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Insect Glaive is one of the most agile weapons in the game and it\u2019s known for its speed too. Combining a decent share of strength, agility, speed, and style \u2013 it\u2019s the coolest weapon that you can use in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but it\u2019s great for aerial combat too which is not something every weapon in the game can offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weapon isn\u2019t heavy, so you keep it on your back while it is drawn so it allows you to use quick attacks very easily. It has many types of direct attacks, sweeps, and aerial attacks that you can pull off with a little bit of experimentation. The latter, of course, is done by vaulting yourself over a monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the coolest things about this weapon is that if you vault on top of an enemy, you can mount it which puts you in a cool animation that allows you to repeatedly strike blows onto the monster. You can do this for as long as your stamina bar lasts \u2013 and a lot of damage can be dealt in this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You simply have to try out different combos and see which ones work the best for you. There\u2019s no specific cheat code that you can enter to be powerful, every player will find a different move more suited for their playstyle than the other. The crucial part is to keep an eye on your Stamina bar so that you know how long you can keep a chain up before you will have to do something a little different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most other weapons, it also has an upgrade path that the game does a great job at explaining. The more you work on the ability tree, the stronger your Insect Glaive will become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another interesting thing to note is that if you use a Kinsect (explained below) that has a specific dust cloud, such as poison from a poisonous dust attachment or smoke from something related to fire \u2013 you can enhance your strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you attack the dust cloud, it will explode and deal damage to smaller nearby monsters. And if you leave the dust clouds strategically, you can have other players in a co-op attack them at the right time once you leave them behind too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use Kinsects on Insect Glaive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Kinsects are essentially buffs that you can use on your Insect Glaive, which act as an upgrade and help you out by adding extra strength and abilities to your weapon. You have the Culldrone and Mulldrone Kinsects that are at level 1 in the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former is meant for offensive options, while the latter is for healing teammates, which gives it a defensive property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to upgrade your Kinsects, you can visit the Smithy in the Workshop and pick the \u2018Nurture a Kinsect\u2019 option which will allow you to pick from the Kinsects that you have. You upgrade Kinsects by applying monster items on them, which can have Power, Heal, and Speed properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can additionally select \u2018Kinsect Elements\u2019 too which will have you imbue your Kinsect with elemental properties.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The elemental upgrades help you balance your weapon against enemies that are weaker to certain elements \u2013 allowing you to fight them with more ease. Adding all these different types of buffs will make your Insect Glaive unique and powerful, and you can apply all four types of them at once too which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
