Any good Tutorial/Tips using Glaive?

[PFC Demigo [29th ID]]

Decided to try using a different Weapon which is the Insect Glaive and not my Usual Light/Heavy Bow Gun back from MHW.
So, anyone can give me Tips/Tutorial from you Expert Glaive Users?

Don't focus on wirebug moves, they're kinda lame. Otherwise, just keep in the air, always consider maxing your stamina to stay airborn, dash juice and constitution for less stamina loss overall. ALWAYS go for red buff with your kinsect first, it gives you the better moves, the rest are just buffs.

get red buffs from monsters by hitting what they use to attack, eg; great Itzuchi's red buff you get from it's tail.

So I have to keep getting the 1-2-3 or to be more specific just the Red Buff which is 1 in order to keep my DPS in check?
And I have to keep jumping around since is where all the DPS are compare to being on the ground?

Prioritize red first, but generally get all three when you can. Staying in the air just makes you harder to hit and lets you deal good damage to flying or bigger monsters, but you can fight on the ground as long as you HAVE red buff.

Red buff is mandatory to get the better combos, white and yellow you can get when you can't do damage to the monster at any point.

Everything else I recommend playing and testing it to see what clicks for you, and look for skills, WBM's and companions based on that. Do the switch skills first though.

Edit: For status IG specifically you'll want to run

Paralysis, Sleep - Greed build with Blast kinsect.

Poison - Decent build with Buildup boost and assist kinsect(stun effect)

Anything else depends on the weapon value and element value. Lots of those weapons have different builds towards them, unless you run meta specifically then it depends on your playstyle.

Yes, you have to keep grabbing extracts throughout the fight.
I'm not a glaive master, but I think you normally use the ground combos for DPS unless you're using the Wyvern Dive wirebug move. Experiment in the training room to get a feel for it. While you're at it, try out the different Kinsect types. I'm a big fan of Powder and Assist, but you may like something else.

Get white first for earplugs... then use kinsect slash on the face for red. Try to get orange next and end the combo with wyvern dive for a pretty good start. ( you cant get the buffs with kinsect slash once you got red)

Total air time depends on the monster since a lot of attacks have ♥♥♥♥ hitzones that can hit you even if you are far above the monster. Thats why I always recommend +1 evade extender. It's just to good to not have even as IG dude.

No need for stamina skills IF you always have max stamina per birds. Without maxed stamina it can get hard to get the full air combo done.

IG is one of the few weapons that need a lot of stamina for the most dps even if you land all the air stuff perfectly imho.

Otherwise tetraseal slash spam is good too. Awakenend kinsect slash is also good with certain kinsects. Especially with rainbow powder kinsect I keep forget the name of.

Not my favourite playstyle but unique af and sometimes really fun (only solo) in mp it's ♥♥♥♥ because of unpredictable monster movement.

It's an awesome weapon in rise with a lot of different playstyles. You should try them all to find your favourite.

Mine is kinsect slash spam with the occosional tetraseal ground combo spam. Followed by awakenend kinsect slash since it's so satisfying to land through rainbow powder.

I mainly use the blunt dual powder defense kinsect. Because I hate getting the buffs. Defense because it's easy to get red on every monster. But the others can be hard to get depending on the monster.
