Do kinsects get boost from decos

[★ Moonlight ★]

If I have an ice kinsect, does it get a boost from Ice attack? I'm pretty sure it doesn't but I can't find anything confirming or denying

No, slinger ammo from monsters is the only way to increase their damage. You can do the test in the training area.

The only thing that you can wear that modifies the kinsect's stats is the bonus that the IG has.

Power Prolonger causes the Kinsect buffs on you to last longer. Slinger Capacity increases the ammo you can pick up. Part Breaker works for Kinsect damage. These are the only skills related to your Kinsect that will effect it. If you're looking to use Kinsect Only "Elemental Boost" is the IG Ability you'll want.

The best Elemental Boost Gailve, IMO, comes from Jyuratodus of all things because this one has the most decoration slots of any "Elemental Boost" glaive. Water Glaive III is an HR version that you can augment 3 classic Health Augments into for massive returns, but seeing as how it's easy not to get hit you may want to up it to MR levels with Laguna Glaive II and Augment for 1 Health and max Defense.

If you're facing something like Saffi where red ammo may not drop too soon then the next best thing for this play style is the "Spirit + Strength", so you'll be getting a boost from whatever ammo you use. I've used this combo in my Saffi healer build and it's great for helping break the wings, back, KO and keep Saffi's aggro on me in a steady enough position for the blade users to focus on the tail.

I just made a test, nice buff even using a kinsect with max 20 element
