I've tried glaive on flying mobs and was wiped. Got back to bow and longsword till better times.

It looks really cool tho.

[BussanAhJae]

op in the other direction.

I think it is one of the lowest tier weapons in the whole game. Heard this from a mate to played too much MHW on PS4. My mate uses it in our groups and it makes mounting easier. The rest of us is just raw damage.

Well like. It can be a good weapon if you aren't spamming just the aerial stuff (at least not until we get the behemoth set).

Weapon tiers only matter though if you're trying to get a legit speedkill time.

Yes

i never use the arial stuff and i get all bufs then do 60 to 80 damage and a combo gives me about 200 to 300 damage if i hit all the weak spots it is really good

Coming from using the hunting horn and charge blade, I really miss not having my weapon bounce off after reaching yellow sharpness. I'm sure it'll get better as I get skills to deal with the rapid sharpness loss, but it's a little iffy for me right now.

monsters later in the game start to counter the insect glave by straight up pushing you out of the air and knocking you down.

I have used Insect Glaive the whole way through and I find it very great in the right hands. If you know how to use it, just like with other weapons, you will destroy.

Grab yourself some Diablos Mastery, young one. You haven't lived until you've used a nearly defunct red sharpness Diablos Shatterer that gets stronger the less sharpness it has, and never bounces off ANYTHING. It's quite funny, really.

Not exactly hue hue amazing top tier pro strat balls to the walls gameplay, but the fact it is an option is funny enough.

Just a jape, just a jape. I used to scorn sharpness related stuff in favour of whetfish scales or weapons with large chunky blue sharpness bars, but I can understand why people love Handicraft after using it at Level 5 with certain weapons, namely Xeno'Jiiva ones. It's crazy good. Five hits of white sharpness became like what, fifty? Super good!

Insect glaive is great fun, but it's not the greatest for damage. I love it for its sheer capability to gtfo from just about any situation. Nergi about to divebomb? Let's see you hit me while I'm flying, ♥♥♥♥♥. What's that Xeno? You can't aim your laser beam upwards? Yeah, the IG makes me very, very smug as I effortlessly fly over attacks that could have near one shotted me.

But yeah, if you're using an end of tree weapon against a mere Odogaron, you shouldn't be surprised that you're kicking his arse. The mobility of the IG helps considerably for countering Odo anyway. Incidentally, if you want to feel really powerful, go fight a LR Great Jagras and watch it drop in a single combo.

Stacking sharpness and affinity seems very much the way forward. Much as I love my Nergi weapons, they're never going to get that extra 10% damage. Currently I'm stacking white sharpness with an 81% affinity, which I should be able to push to 95% once I have some decent decorations.

Insect Glaive isn't gonna top a LS, CB, GS, LBG, HBG and Bow user, however what it brings is team utility in the form of bug powders and mount potential.

A healing bug can help with keeping the team from having to use too many potions but shouldn't be relied upon to keep them healthy.

While a blast bug can help with overall dps as the blast dust also deals damage when activated and the blast that occurs from activation helps a bit.

In good hands the Insect Glaive can keep up but don't expect top dps.
